Skin Care that is Trendy
By Lizbeth Gutierrez
Lately we have been doing articles in here with brands that are kind of expensive, or hard to find. I wanted to make something that is affordable and easy to find. Personally, this brand didn’t work for me because of my complicated skin but here are some products that some of the Trendy writer’s use.
Neutrogena
The #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand, Neutrogena® offers some of the world's most loved beauty and skin care lines, and manufactures and markets products in over 70 countries. This brand can be found from the highest brand stores to even the smallest pharmacy.
1. Oil-Free Acne Wash is the #1 dermatologist recommended acne-fighting cleanser. This oil-free formula gently cleanses deep down into pores for clear skin. It contains Salicylic Acid to get rid of acne you have now and help prevent future breakouts. ... Skin is left clean, residue-free and never oily.

There are more products from the Neutrogena Hydro boost but is kind of limited, also I have heard from different products like the Neutrogena Naturals that are full of vitamins and like the name says is ALL NATURAL.
4. Neutrogena Naturals Acne Cream Cleanser to treat and help prevent breakouts. This clinically proven acne medicine is fortified with an acne-fighting bionutrient from wintergreen leaf for clear, healthy-looking skin.

Vampire Facial
By Lizbeth Gutierrez
The New Mexico Department of Health is urging anyone who received an injection at an Albuquerque spa to get tested after two people who had a "vampire facial" were diagnosed with HIV. The agency is investigating after the HIV infections were detected in two clients of VIP Spa who received "vampire" facials — a procedure in which a person's own blood is injected into their face as a way of refreshing their skin — between March and September 2018. The two people were found to have contracted the same virus strain — increasing the likelihood that the two cases resulted from procedures done at VIP Spa, health officials said. According to the state's Department of Health, VIP Spa closed on Sept. 7, 2018, after an inspection found problems with the handling of needles. Kathy Kunkel, the New Mexico Department of Health cabinet secretary, said in a statement that more than 100 clients who received injection services have been tested for HIV, as well as hepatitis B and C. "Testing is important for everyone as there are effective treatments for HIV and many hepatitis infections," Kunkel said. The procedure was popularized in 2013 by Kim Kardashian West after she posted a selfie on Instagram with blood on her face. In other articles I have made myself clear in how the Kardashians influence young people on different trends. People be aware of these things and how they can affect you, not because someone famous does it, it means that is ok.

Herpes at Coachella
by Katelyn Seats
We’re approaching summer festival season. As we are getting to it watch what you get yourself into. As there has been a rise of sexually transmitted diseases spreading at these events. Just at Coachella this year alone there were 1,105 reported cases. On a normal the HerpiesAlert company typically helps around 12 patients. But right after the music festival, their numbers grew tremendously overnight. Now their average a day is 250 patients.
HerpAlert is a company that lets its patients send a picture of the affected area, and the company sends its advice or prescribes a prescription within hours of the photo upload.
But herpes is an easily transmitted disease. Sexual contact does not have to be made. It is known that at music concerts attenders of the events enjoy smoking and getting high. And while doing this they often pass the drug infused objects that are being used by the mouth to many people around them. Even unacquainted ones. Therefore, you are unaware of the bacteria in the mouth of person who had it before you.
So if you are planning on attending some summer music festivals this summer, please be aware of what you are doing and those around you. Have a good time and be safe this summer.
