My Baby Quasar Journey

Over the past decade, treating acne and looking younger has been one of the most popular crazes in the beauty industry. From Proactive acne treatment to millions of anti-wrinkle creams, skincare has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry for beauty. 

As the industry continues to grow, companies are always looking for the next big thing and with so many options to choose from, we always want the latest product that has the most effective results in the least amount of time. 

Im 22 years old and suffered with acne as a teen and I still breakout sometimes from hormonal changes. I am also a beauty freak! I try to maintain my skin as young as possible. My God! I can remember using sample packets of anti-aging cream before bed when I was only in high school. I care a lot about my skin. I like to believe my mother instilled this quality in me, I mean, she was the one giving me the sample packets anyway! It might sound nutty, but living in america we consume so many processed foods and meats/poultry, that our skin especially is to show for it.

After having my daughter my moderate acne was almost inexistent. Something with my hormones cleared it up. Although I still had some scarring and sunspots(miami girl problems). But on occasions, I would get a minor breakout. I wanted to try something different. Something new. Something effective. So I decided to use Baby Quasar Clear Rayz. Clear Rayz is LED light therapy that not only kills that bacteria but heals the skin. It is a cute little gadget that is double sided with one side red LED light and the other blue LED light. The red light treatment reduces inflamed areas by preventing new acne growth healing the skin. Red light therapy accelerates the growth of healthy new skin cells. Blue light kills bacteria that causes inflammatory acne. 

Using the Clear Rayz you split your face into sections and treat each section for about 3 minutes. You rub it against your skin in a circular motion. It is 100% painless and even tickles a bit. You can treat your entire face or just the affect area. Using this product 3 times a week, you can see results in only 14 days. I know I did, immediately. After the second time I used it, my pores were noticeably smaller and had already started to lighten my sunspots. If I had a pimple, I would go two days with blue light therapy and the third day with red light therapy. NOTE: you cannot use red and blue light the same day. I continued using the same makeup(Mac, Physician Formula), face wash(Cetaphil), and moisturizer(Cetaphil) while using this product.




here is a video about how it works.

What Clear Rayz Does




When it came to my anti-aging obsession, Baby Quasar Plus was there. This device is also LED light therapy (RED only). Basically it stimulates collagen and nurtures weakened elastin around the eyes, brows and mouth, and anywhere in between. The amount of light emitted by Baby Quasar PLUS provides the highest amount of power, three to four times stronger than any of our competitors. More power means better penetration. It would take years to catch up to the results you would achieve with Baby Quasar PLUS and there’s no guarantee you would.

These products are so effective, they even came out with Baby Quasar MD Plus and Blue, also a LED red/blue light therapy device designed strong enough to be used at medical spas and by doctors.

Customer Testimonials

The Very BEST customer service ever!

"Thank you so much for your professional and insightful advice. I have made a very informed decision – the Baby Quasar PLUS is the one for me!! The Very BEST customer service ever! I have so much more confident in the Baby Quasar because of your very courteous and prompt responses. In fact, I have recommended the Quasar website to my sister and best friends, and they all express keen interest in purchasing one for themselves."
Wendy L.
"I developed adult acne and was breaking out with several cystic lesions a month around my chin. After one week of using both lights (alternate days), I only developed a few minor pimples. They never got swollen or red and treatment with the blue light healed them by the next day. I have developed 0 new pimples in the last 3 weeks, in spite of oral antibiotics to control the acne. My skin is smooth and perfectly balanced, not oily and not dry. I wear only sun screen on my face now as foundation of any kind is unnecessary. My husband has used the blue light on a couple of severe ingrown hairs on his face and has had similar results with rapid healing taking place."
Kristine M Age 42 with extremely sensitive but, combination skin, MI
"My wife has been using the Quasar on her face at home four times in the last seven days. She is starting to get comments on how young she is looking. Today she went to the dentist and the receptionist said that she thinks they transposed the numbers on her birth date, she was born in 1968, and my wife told her that’s the right date. The receptionist said really I thought you were a teenager."

Yummy Skin Glowing Facial

Well summer is over and its time to wash away the sun kissed tans and bronze buns! 
For some reason, we all want to be a little paler in the winter, even in miami. 
I created this DIY easy facial to make skin lighter and give it a natural glow. 
It is also an awesome exfoliant. This facial can lighten sunspots, scars, tans, etc.
 It can be used for your entire body! The results are amazing and if it drips onto your tongue, 
no worries... it's delicious! The ingredients are simple products from you kitchen 
so its SUPER easy to make. 



1/2 cup of Honey
1/2 cup of Yogurt
3 tablespoons of Brown Sugar
1 squeezed Lime  

(don't judge my selfie lol)


I applied the facial for about 20 minutes. I suggests 10-30 minutes is a good amount of time to let it set in. Exfoliate while applying and washing off. After you wash it off, MOISTURIZE! Did you know early wrinkles are brought on quicker to people who don't moisturize enough?! its true! So make sure you got an amazing moisturizer (preferably with SPF) and apply that baby every chance you get! 


TIP: Do not go into the sun with facial or at least 2 hours after. 
Lime has harsh effects on skin in the sunlight. 
I would just avoid the sun for the rest of the day. 



I hope you enjoy this mask as much as I did!

Sugar Wax Me Baby!!!

Ladies!!! Get beach body ready without spending a buck by making your very own sugar wax.

So, one day I was bored on youtube and decided to search about waxing from home. Having a baby is a mission to go out and get waxed, or do anything you used to at all.

The Recipe

2 cups white or brown sugar (i like brown)
3/4 cup water
2 tsp lemon juice

I mixed everything together on high heat and let it boiled while I mixed with a chopstick. 
After about 15-20 minutes you will see wax start becoming more consistent.
While it starts to look like honey, consistency wise, then pour into a glass cup or container.





You now apply the wax in the opposite direction as the hair growth. BECAREFUL! I burned myself 3 times because I thought it was ready. Remember the skin on our hands are thicker than anywhere else so it doesn't seem as hot as it really is. Test the wax on your arm for temperature. If you can handle it there, you are fine.

After applying the wax, I used one of my baby girl's burp cloths as a strip and applied it to the waxed section. Anything cotton will work, like an old t-shirt. I did about 3 tiny sections before actually removing any strips. When you pull the strip, pull in the same direction as you applied the wax.

For some reason I thought waxing myself would hurt more than getting it done by someone else but it didn't at all. I guess since you are in control you are mentally prepared for what is about to happen, and also the wax is smoother. After waxing, my skin was soft and sweet. I did not have any residue whatsoever, like when I leave the wax place. No need for baby powder either. 

Please comment on your experience. I would love to hear how the sugar wax was for you.

That Nasty Little Thing Called Stretchmarks...

Not everyone gets them, but when you do, all you wonder is "Why Me?!", or at least I did.

Yes! I am the victim of these nasty little things. When I found out I was pregnant, first thing I bought was Palmer's oil along with my prenatal vitamins. I literally oiled down twice a day everyday. Everything was fine, until i hit 7 months. Bam! A little lighting bolt appears on my side. It was the end of me, or just felt like it.

Sometimes desperation gets the best of you. I spent hours googling and you tubing my life away to rid me of this curse. One video told me to scrub really hard with an exfoliation bar. This was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Because my belly was still growing, so were the marks, and my skin was only becoming thinner and less strong so scrubbing the way I desperately did only make the marks worse.

No matter what products you use, stretch marks will come based on the type of skin you have. Some women never moisturize and walk away mark free from the maternity ward. The best thing is to moisturize as much as you can, take in a lot of vitamin E and B, and try not to gain too much.

Now, my marks are much better from my weight loss. I have also been exfoliating with oatmeal and using oatmeal soap and some venezuelan soap called las javes. After I shower, I moisturize with vitamin E oil, almond oil, or rose seed oil. I try to change it up every week. The only true ways to get rid of stretch marks completely is to let them fade over time, a tummy tuck, or laser scar removal.

In the beginning I was ashamed, thinking "omg, this will never go away" but that is no longer the case. The marks are barely noticeable only after 3 months post partum. So all those hours I spent weeping over these nasty little things, I regret. After all, without them my little girl would not of been able to grow as healthy as she did.

Don't beat yourself up about them. Some would say it is the sacrifice of being a mother, but now I see it clearly, as a blessing.

this was after I delivered
