You may have heard of  “jamsu” , the Korean makeup trend that gives you long-lasting matte skin in seconds. I challenged myself and put it to the test and found the pros and cons that come with this technique. What Is “Jamsu?” exactly “Jamsu,” which translates into “submerge,” consists of basic steps such as, patting handfuls of baby powder/ translucent powder on your face  after  you put on your primer, foundation, and concealer ( well not in that particular order).

Blackheads are those nasty little things we all hate to have and try to remove as quickly as possible in order to enjoy a beautiful face and skin. There are several methods you can use to get rid of blackheads and you will find here one of the most efficient so far.  After watching a large number of vlogs and videos on the Pil`aten Mask, I decided to try it out. I was a bit skeptical especially with the thought that my skin may become dry and flaky if one had to apply something of such a harsh nature. I did the full on pamper session with a wash, exfoliate and a steam then applied the mask, and to my amazement the mask had removed most of the blackheads I had on my nose, chin and cheek area.  I was more than delighted with the results and was ready to recommend it to anyone else. The second time i needed to use the mask, was two weeks later, but this time I was short on time and could not do the full pamper session. I did the wash and a quick e
