We’re big on tips about covering up and contouring your face, but we also know that treating the precious skin underneath your makeup routine really transforms your whole outlook.
So, rather than shying away from embarrassment, we’re here to share all the crazy things we’ve put on our face to help stop a breakout.
Although we’ll keep the specifics anonymous, just between the BB5 Team, we’ve tried it ALL, from kitchen to bathroom cabinet, including-
- yogurt
- coffee grounds
- olive oil
- lemons
- baking soda
- honey
- apple cider vinegar
- witch hazel
- banana peels
- toothpaste
- calamine lotion
- garlic
- nearly every multivitamin made!
Oh, how we’ve mixed crazy concoctions in hopes of clearing our skin!
However, through all this trial and error, we’ve found that simple is best. One of our favorite’s from this month’s box, Dr. Lin’s Acne Spot Corrector, is easier to use than whipping up ingredients in our kitchen, and the best part is, you only need a small amount. This powerful formula works fast to treat breakouts and fade any old red or dark marks fast when applied daily. Sensitive skin? Just apply it every other day on blemishes to banish them- no mixing gloves or medicine-cabinet raiding required.
Dr. Lin’s products aren’t hyped without reason- after all, they were created by a well-known Beverly Hills dermatologist, and won’t break the bank! Plus, they’re powerful and targeted to give your skin exactly what it needs while still being gentle and paraben-free.
We also hear that they make a great prize…

Confession: I’m ashamed of how many times I’ve broken the #1 Beauty Commandment- Thou Shalt Always Wash Off Your Makeup.
Scandalous coming from a beauty blog, right? But, washing your face on-the-go can be a chore!
My sleeping-in-makeup habit mostly happens when I’m traveling with a carryon (have you SEEN baggage check prices these days?) and couldn’t bring all my essentials for my nighttime routine, or, if I’m being honest, occasionally I just get exhausted at the thought of trying to scrub away my waterproof mascara and eyeliner that I perfected to last me well into the night.
Luckily, the whole “beauty is pain” idea doesn’t have to apply to taking off products and dirt from my complexion with the convenience of face wipes- but I’m still picky when it comes to them, too! Cleansing wipes should be the girl on-the-go’s standby, but I’m wary of ones that are too oily, smell bad, dry out my face or dry out in their flimsy packaging.
That’s where this month’s box knocked it out of the park with 2 cleansing rockstars from La Fresh. Their Travel Lite Makeup Remover Wipes were a huge hit with subscribers, because added Vitamin E makes them gentle and soothing, but they still wipe away even the most waterproof cosmetics with no tugging or pulling and no oily formula! La Fresh’s Facial Cleansing Wipes are also oil-free, and we fell in love with their light smell, natural ingredients, and how calm and clean our faces felt after using them.
With their proven reputation and bright, convenient packaging, we think you could really freshen up anywhere- so we want to see just how far you’re taking La Fresh!
- Post a photo to Instagram of the most creative place you’re taking your La Fresh wipes- from home to office to the gym and beyond.
- Tag it with #GoLaFresh!
- You’ll be entered to win 48 Facial Cleansing or Makeup Removing wipes to stay refreshed everywhere!
Happy travels and good luck! We’ll announce the winner on August 31st!

Who Run The World? Curls.
If you carry the crown of curls like many of us girls, your hair probably never got the memo on being 100% the same.
Chances are your mane might be be a little bit wavy, a little bit curly, and a little bit straight, all at the same time. For this conundrum, multi-textured is the name and taming frizz is the game- well, that and adding hold while not weighing your hair down. Seem like one product that does it all might be too good to be true? Meet Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls. No matter what your hair-itage, this styling lotion whips your curls into shape while keeping them soft and oh-so-touchable.
BB5 Tip: Scrunch away!
After applying a capful to your washed and detangled hair, scrunch your hair to encourage a good twist and enhance your natural texture, then, let it air dry. If you’re on the go or want a little more oomph, you can also scrunch and then use the diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to speed up the drying process.
Love your locks, every single texture of them!
XOXO,
Kelsey
