So, this past weekend was my birthday. After that amount of drinks I’m pretty sure that I need to find forty hours of sleep, twelve gallons of water and Jesus. Instead, I found a bunch of amazing recipes to help my skin not look like I should be starring in The Crypt Keeper. This way I can help pull together the outside while I’m drinking as much water and taking my regular vitamins for the inside. Give them a try. If they can help me come back from the brink of death, then those of you that didn’t crawl out of a case of beer should have amazing results.

I know that you might be dying to try all of these out, but please, try to do only two a week. If you overdo it you your face can actually break out more or have a bad reaction because it will strip the natural oil from your skin if you push it too far. Good luck with them. I hope that they treat your face as well as they treated mine. And if i didn’t see you out in my birthday haze, then you owe me a beer lol.
