The perfect foundation is a very important step in your makeup routine. Foundation can be life-changing! Use it to disguise imperfections in your skin like dark circles and blemishes to create a smooth and even complexion.

The Neutrogena #NoMasPoros Pore Refining Challenge

{This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA® and Latina Bloggers Connect}

We all face skin issues and for me, my biggest concern when it comes to my facial skin are my pores. I often dread looking closely into a mirror and those magnifying mirrors? forget it! Sometimes the only thing I can see when looking closely into a mirror are the size of my pores and it seems as if they've become more and more noticeable each passing year. Over time, pores stretch to become more noticeable, making skin look duller. So I was looking forward to taking the Neutrogena #NoMasPoros Pore Refining challenge!

The Neutrogena Pore Refining collection is proven to visibly tighten and shrink the appearance of pores for smoother, younger looking skin. By using the collection daily, pores can look up to half their size in two weeks. Dirt clogged in pores enhances the appearance of pore size, and that's why using the collection daily is very important for best results.

Show of your beautiful skin this summer with Jergens. During the warmer months of Summer, you'll see me in short shorts and sleeve less top. It's important that I keep my skin hydrated under the intense heat of the sun. In South Texas, the summers can be very humid which is great for your skin but I still want to keep it looking luminous and smooth. I'm spending most of this summer back home in Southern California where it's not as humid and my skin is taking notice of the dry air! My skin has been so dry since I've arrived here in Los Angeles. JERGENS BB Body Skin Perfecting Cream and Shea Beauty Oil, have been a huge relief for my dry skin. With the combination of both these moisturizers my skin has been looking beautiful and radiant and feeling hydrated and soft.

The Beauty of Nature

AVEENO is proud to debut “The Beauty of Nature,” a video narrative featuring Brand Ambassador Jennifer Aniston, which celebrates the abundance of ingredients found in nature with the vast potential to help enhance our natural beauty.

Hispanic women have always trusted the advice they’ve received from their mothers and grandmothers, especially as it relates to beauty. Many of their tips and beauty secrets usually included the use of ingredients found in nature. I feel aw if my mother and grandmother were correct when they would suggest to stick to the "Basics" when it came to beauty and taking care of my skin. Seems as though our grandmothers and mothers generations don't understand why the younger generations need so many products and procedure's to get younger looking skin when all they had and need were ingredients that are found in nature.

Neutrogena Face-Off Challenge #NeutrogenaRostroLimpio

{This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA and Latina Bloggers Connect}

I don't wear makeup everyday but when I do, I always wash my face to remove my makeup before bed. Leaving your makeup on while you sleep is a big NO. Leaving makeup on while you sleep can clog pores, irritate your skin and cause breakouts and blemishes. It's important that you not only remove your makeup but to make sure that it's done correctly, you don't want to use a product that's going to leave traces of makeup, oil and dirt behind. I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes because they remove 99.3% of all traces of dirt, oil, and makeup to reveal clean, fresh skin.
