My New Soap and Make-Up Regiment

Along on my path of cleaning up my chemicals in my daily health line, I have found the best soap and make-up that has totally changed my skin!

For soap, I switched to Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castile Soap and the Lavender Orange Body Lotion! It smells amazing and is very calming for evening showers! I am very prone to bad skin on my face so I was very skeptical at getting rid of all my high power acne soaps. But I jumped in and no joke the very next day I noticed a difference! By the end of the week I could barely find a blemish and I noticed my skin was smoother and even my start of wrinkles were diminishing! (I say start of wrinkles because I am only 32 haha) I think it worked in combination with the make-up switch. 

I switched to Mineral Fusion make-up which I found at Sprouts. I found a very light moisturizer, foundation, 30 SPF sunscreen powder, and mascara. All with anti-aging properties. Also a tinted lip gloss from Badger. Both companies specialize in organic natural products. Here is my find..

.

So this is my face routine. At night I wash with the Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap. Next, I use rose water as a toner. It has anti-aging properties and makes my skin feel smooth. Finally, I use the mineral fusion moisturizer, pictured in the blue tube. In the morning I don't even feel the need to wash again. I use just a little of this lemon toner that I hand make. If I am noticing a break out I use it after the face wash at night too. But that has only happened once in the month I have switched to this new regiment. This is my morning toner recipe...

1 travel size spray bottle (3oz)

Distilled Water

1Tablespoon Lemon Juice (I use the lemons off my tree!)

10 drops Tea Tree Oil

5 drops Lavender Oil

I feel like it refreshes my face from the night of sleeping. I skip the moisturizer in the morning because I feel like the foundation is enough moisture for me. However, it can sometimes feel a bit drying so may need to adjust measurements according to your skin. The foundation goes on like lotion but quickly turns to a power like finish. Be sure to shake it really well though before you apply, It separates over night. I let that sit for a minute, then apply the SPF loose powder. It has a nice brush attached to it. Then just some mascara and tinted lip gloss, is about all this busy mom has time for. If it were date night, there are a lot of nice blushes and eye shadows as well.

I'm still in love with my No Poo method for my hair and now my skin feels amazing and looks refreshed and bright. Next to tackle Homemade Deodorant! Eeek! Do I dare?
