There are a variety of blogs where each person expresses their views about subject matters of their interest. An extraordinary blog keeps the reader interested with the tone of the writing and provides helpful information about the topic or the issue that the blog is addresses. A blog has to be carefully organized, traditional enough for readability, yet soothing to the eyes and confirming to modern blogging standards. The “Beautiful Skin” blog that I chose to evaluate consists of all these factors. I have found this particular blog worthy enough for me to view as a benchmark of what a good blog should be.

A great first impression is one of the sure-shot ways to attract readers to come back for more and actually read your content instead of trying to click the banner ads on the side of the page and exit in circa five seconds, I found this blog full of great first impressions. As I opened the “Beautiful skin” blog page, it was filled with 3 shades of pink. The page has dark pink on the two sides; it was light pink on the right middle side and white on the left middle side. This blog is about healthy, beautiful skin and body and the pink color gives it a fresh, calm feeling. The color and background of a blog has to appeal to its subject. This is similar to a title corresponding with an essay. Moreover, the first page also contained many attractive visuals. Such pictures includes a woman with flawless skin smelling a bright red rose representing an ingredient called rose water which rejuvenates and clears skin. It also includes a picture of Vitamins representing the different types of vitamins your body needs to remain healthy and a picture of a woman in good shape drinking green tea. These visuals are very clear and alive because of their bright color which motivates readers to drink that bottle of water or take that vitamin.

Another factor appealing about this blog is that it is very convenient. It contains numerous information and solutions for taking care of every part of your body. A variety of information in one blog is very helpful because the reader does not have to go back and forth from blog to blog. This blog includes information from taking care of your hand skin, body skin to taking care of your teeth. This website includes your outside beauty and well as staying healthy and stress free on the inside. This includes the food you can eat for your diet to all types to various therapies, as well as lotions you can use and face masks you can create. Moreover these types of masks, lotions, and diet are also organized according to the type of skin you have such as oily skin, dry skin as well people with skin problems such as acne, wrinkles, and freckles. The face masks in particular were very interesting to me because I have created my own face masks and used it in the past and recently. Some of these ingredients are also similar to what I have used and because these ingredients have worked for me, it makes me feel safe to try these recipes.

Besides including pictures and variety of information in a blog, how you present these information is equally important. This “beautiful skin” blog uses a very persuasive and encouraging tone in its writing which is what readers that are reading blogs such as this need. Many people, including myself, have tried numerous amounts of lotions and face masks. Unfortunately some of these procedures have failed to work or people just give up after a week due to lack of hope and encouragement. This writing uses great detail, explaining step by step what to do, for how long, and how often and its information is also supported by other sources. This lets the reader know that the author did not just make these ingredients up and shows that the writer knows what he/she is talking about. This builds up trust within the reader and writer. Moreover the writer also presents situations in his/her writing such as “Time to time we feel ourselves very tired, irritable, drained and even aggressive.” Many readers have probably been in one of these situations which makes it easier for the reader to follow what the writer is instructing.

This “Beautiful skin” blog is very helpful for those who want to find out what they can do to live a clear skin and healthy body lifestyle. It is convenient for every skin type and even those that have skin problems such as acne. It is easy to navigate since everything is broken down in categories towards the right side of the webpage. A person who is interested in such a subject won’t turn back until trying a face mask or following a diet presented in this blog.
