For some reason memories of me in high school reminds me of clowns. I admit it. I used make up. At fist I dabbled and then it turned into a full blown problem. It was awful just awful. I'm sorry everyone from high school. I mean really.
These days my skin routine is pretty simple. Just 3 items!
1. Good Soap made by Allafia sold by Whole Foods 3 for $6. Comes packaging free (love!) and is made somewhat local in Washington. Coconut is my personal favorite but they have many other scents and even one unscented.
2. Skin Toner which I make. Keep reading to find out how I make mine.
3. Acure Argan Oil that I purchased at Whole Foods for $10 on sale. I bought this a year ago and I still have half a bottle. This stuff goes far! Its also multi use which I love. Adds shine to your hair and makes your skin feel amazing but not oily.
My no fuss no muss clean routine
1. In the shower wash your body and face with Allafia Good Soap. For extra cleaning use a wash cloth but for sensitive skin just rinse with water from the shower. Need some extra cleansing? Use a tad bit of baking soda in your hands with the soap to scrub your face.
2. Once out of the shower/bath you can pat dry your face with the towel.
3. Spray your face with DIY Skin Toner. It will dry when you get dressed.
4. Get your hands wet and add a couple of drops of Acure Argan oil. Rub all over your face completely including your neck. If your hair is a bit frizzy also rub your hands on your hair. It adds such a beautiful shine without making your hair oily. Just don't add drops to your hair directly or it will do that. Tiny tiny TINY bit will do ya.
5. That's it!
DIY Toner
What you need:
Witch Hazel
Rosewater
Glass spray bottle
All can be purchased at Whole Foods or New Seasons (or any natural store)
Directions:
Fill the bottle half way up with witch hazel. Fill the other half with rose water. Done!
Note: Now days you can find rose water/witch hazel in one bottle but I don't think its smells as lovely as when you mix it yourself. Plus you can use the rose water to spritz on your face at bedtime. Its lovely and feels amazing.
As you can see I have no skin issues at all. I get the usual pimples when my monthly visitor comes but that's how it goes. Otherwise this is how I look. I wear no make up because I have no skin issues to cover. I'm not saying this is the miracle cure or anything its just what works for me.
NOTE: Again I'm non profit and these products are things I love and purchased with my own money. All links are not affiliate and are simply here to show you what they are. I'm not getting paid to write this or promote these products. I just love them.
