My skin care routine

So, here's what has been working great for me. I have mostly dry skin with clogged nose and chin pores and redness around my nose and chin. But from what I have been reading, even those with oily skin or acne will see great benefits from using an oil cleanser as part of a double cleansing routine. The whole point is to not strip your skin of it's natural oils, so it doesn't feel the need to overproduce oil. See previous post and my next post titled Recipes to learn how to make the products I use.

Morning:

I wash my face with ground oatmeal and warm water, massaging it into my skin until it is creamy then rinsing off. Followed by a splash of witch hazel & rosewater toner, and then I moisturize with an oil combination (see Geranium oil cleanser/moisturizer in previous post).

Evening:

I massage the Geranium Oil Cleanser onto my face, then cleanse with the All Purpose Castile Soap Cleanser. Then I use an organic cotton ball with a squirt of witch hazel & rosewater toner to clean off any residue. Moisturize with the Nighttime Coconut Oil Moisturizer or Geranium oil.

Body:

Before every shower I skin brush. Since I have been skin brushing my skin is silky soft and smooth, and as an added bonus my cellulite is going away! It is pretty amazing! I use the All Purpose Castile soap cleanser for my body, face, and hands, and even use it to shave my legs. After my shower I use a little bit of the Yummy Cake Lotion (see next post) or an almond/olive oil combo. It is pretty oily so you only need a little.

And that's it! Pretty simple, and my skin has never looked or felt better. This is all with products that I made myself for very little money.
