Cleansers
So I'm going to be showing y'all my cleansers first. First of all i have oily to combination acne prone skin so these work for me but may not work for you. you just have to try them out. But my sister has dry skin and I will also post what she uses too. All the links will be on my pinterest under the board blog products.
This is angels on bare skin by lush. Lush is a all natural company that has amazing products. This cleanser is clay based and is made in the store fresh. It has almonds, lavender, and roses to soothe the skin. And this cleanser is for combination skin but is great for oily skin too because it is clay based so it will draw out impurities.
Next is actually the oil cleansing method. now before you freak out and say "NO WAY!! I'm never going to put oil on my skin!!" And probably if you have oily skin you would skip this. But believe it or not if you have oily skin this is best for you. Because putting oil on your skin will trick your system into making less oil. But I know the chart is hard to read but for oily skin you want 50% castor oil and 50% of a carrier oil. (I will post a list of carrier oils at the bottom of the post) For balanced skin you want 30% castor oil and 70% carrier oil. And for dry skin you want 25% castor oil and 75% carrier oil. Later on I will post a blog about my favorite oils and why you would use them. So if you want to know the best carrier oil for you, you'll be wanting to look for that. And if you want to know more about the oil cleansing method I will pin somethings on Mckenna and my board called blog.
Toner
Now with toners I only have one that I like and it just happens to be natural.
This is witch hazel. Now if you're anything like me and the word toner makes you nervous. This one has no alcohol and is all natural. It is on the pricier side but a little goes a very long way. It is around $9 for 12oz. I have used this for a while and it helps my oil in my face to even out, it moisturizes slightly, and gives your skin a nice healthy glow. I know that most of you dont use toner but if you do your research you wont regret buying one and you will use one for the rest of your life.
Moisturizers
This is dream cream form lush. And this is kinda a splurge for a moisturizer I know and its a body lotion. But because it is all natural it is great for the face too. I use this on my face at night only because it is a little greasy but besides that it is amazing and has great benefits.
Now if you want a cheaper version this is the way to go. Coconut oil. Now again an oil you are probably freaking out. If you've never heard of coconut oil I have a post about a few of its many beauty benefits. So go check that out. But basically the molecular structure of the oil id too big to get into the pores and clog them. And if you have acne it is anti bacterial so instead of clogging pores it will unclog pores! So for all skin types this is great.
You're probably thinking another oil? Sweet almond oil. But it has vitamin e to help with fine lines and wrinkles and it will make your skin super soft. And it is anti bacterial so it will actually help pimples. And same with the coconut oil. The molecular structure is too big to get into the pores.
Masks and Scrubs
Mask of magniminty. Now besides from the cool name it actually has peppermint oil magniminty. It has a great cooling sensation to create more blood flow to the skin. It has chocolate bits in it so it looks and smells like mint chocolate chip ice cream. It has kaolin clay so it will harden on the face and pull out any impurities.
Now for a scrub I use sugar and a carrier oil. The ratio i use is 2:1 two parts sugar one part oil. This is about the consistency of sand. But if you want a drier scrub add less oil if you want a wetter scrub add more oil. Just make it to your liking.
Thats it! I hope you enjoyed. Make sure you share this with friends follow my blog and my pinterest!
