X-Out Acne Treatment

My teen is like any other…ok, so maybe not. But skincare is not at the top of his list of things to do. A complicated skin care routine and acne treatment regimen just isn’t going to happen. Just getting him to wash his face after an intense workout at the karate studio is worse than pulling teeth. Teenagers want quick and easy and while skin care is important in my eyes, it just isn’t in his.

 X Out’s easy one-step Wash-In acne treatment offers a hassle-free solution to kill breakout-causing bacteria for a fresh, clear and confident appearance. While Tate’s acne can range from moderate to severe it still doesn’t motivate him to take more time to solve the problem so when we were offered to test drive X Out’s EASY, one-step treatment I literally jumped on the opportunity and squealed with glee! I know that clear skin will boost Tate’s confidence and make such a huge difference for him. Here is a before picture and while his acne isn’t as bad in this picture as it can get he already has some scarring which I hope X Out with prevent anymore in the future.

Tate acne

If your teen has breakouts, X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment can help as either a daily face wash, spot treatment, or mask. With the acne fighting power of benzoyl peroxide and a sulfate-free solution, X Out can help teens with multiple skin types treat their acne. For tech-savvy teens looking for a little more distraction, X Out’s QR code leads them to entertaining comedy, sports or fashion videos all timed to the product’s recommended 2-minute washing period. 

 

While the bottle is a little hard to figure out at first,  the design and packaging are great! Tate has been using X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment for several days and so far we are already seeing great results! I can’t wait to see and show you the results in a few weeks!!

“I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of X Out and received a X Out product sample to facilitate my review, one to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

 

slow cooker potato soup

OhMyStinkinHeck, you are going to love this recipe. It is absolutely the best potato soup E-V-E-R! Seriously, it is the best I have ever made at least. And, it is made in the slow cooker. Easy Peasy.  This is my families favorite fall food. We look forward to the cooler weather just to gather around the table, bowls in hand, puppy dog eyes abound. Why puppy dog eyes? Because they always want extra bacon. Bacon, Bacon, Bacon. Everything goes with bacon.

So, let’s get to it:

diced potatoes

First you need to dice about 4 pounds of potatoes and a large onion. Once you have those diced place them in your slow cooker. My slow cooker is a 6 quart and this makes enough to fill it up. If yours is smaller you will need to adjust this recipe accordingly.

garlic cloves

Peel 6-8 cloves of garlic and add them whole to the slow cooker.

chicken broth

Add 3 cans of chicken broth to the slow cooker along with 2 cans of water.

Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10

Add cream cheese

Now, take out the whole garlic cloves and put them in a food processor or blender along with one and a half packages of cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons of seasoning salt and half of the soup in the slow cooker. I have to do this in two batches because of the size of my food processor. I also didn’t show pictures of it because it is from the time of dinosaurs and is ugly enough in person, much less pictures. After you have pureed it add it all back into the slow cooker. Stirring occasionally. After about 20-30 minutes it is ready to garnish and serve.
