They can accentuate any bathroom, and take it from drab to glam. Who knew Q-tips Vanity Packs could do all that. There is definitely a new era in my bathroom:)

Bridal Beauty Begins with Clear Skin

With wedding season in full force, it’s essential to remember to put your best face forward. Brides-to-be everywhere are scrambling to finalize those stressful, last-minute details. But with flowers, caterers and the future in-laws to think about, who has time to worry about their skin? The perfect day deserves a perfect complexion, which is why the Proactiv 3-Step System regimen is a must for every bride.

Brides may not know that the skin renews itself every 28 days, so stress-related breakouts may not come out until closer to the wedding day. Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, co-founders of Proactiv Solution, recommend a combination therapy that targets existing breakouts and prevents future flare-ups. Containing prescription grade benzoyl peroxide, the Proactiv 3-Step System will help you look and stay fresh even with the stresses of preparing for your walk down the aisle.
