I often get the question, "what is your face routine?" at market when people are inquiring about my products. I love this question because it gets me so excited to share my testimony with them (please reference a previous post to see where my skin has started from). So, today, I thought I'd share my exact routine with you all and the "why" behind it.
I have very sensitive skin, so whatever skin line you choose to use with us, they're all designed for sensistive skin. I was using over the counter products previously that STILL stripped my skin and left me very unhappy with its appearance, feel, and 'pore' situation. I constantly fought clogged pores around my nose, had hormonal acne STILL, dry patches around my nose and mouth, and not to mention hours after putting on my skin care, my skin felt FILTHY all over again despite just cleansing it. UGH. I don't miss those days. Upon doing A LOT of research on what oils and essential oils and even additives worked best on my skin, I had to do even MORE research to figure out how I could help other people who probably also felt like me. Below I'll list my exact skin care routine.
First, I start with the Clear Complexion Foaming Face Wash at night. Although I use mostly the New Age prodcts (this is to combat my perioral dermatitis), I use this particular face wash to combat any acne I might have throughout my cycle and everyday activities. I specified the time of day I use it because that is a big part in skin care. I used to wash my face twice a day and I truly feel like it did more harm than good. I had dry skin and more acne than ever because my skin was stripped from all the cleansing and working harder to keep my barrier moist. In the morning, I simply splash my face with lukewarm water. Okay, back to night time...After cleansing my face, in which I do this either in the shower or tub, I follow with the New Age Toner to prep my pores to receive the rest of my products. I then follow with the Rejuvenating Eye Cream by really coating around my eyes to help cell rejuvenation during my sleep. This particular eye cream contains green tea extract that I steep in apricot and avocado oil to reduce puffiness, fine lines & wrinkles, and replace omega's and fatty acids around the eyes. Moving on to my Hyaluronic Acid Serum, although this product doesn't sound natural, it most certainly is! This is one of my favorite products because it attracts moisture to the skin leaving it hydrated and supple (see our product to read more about how HA is natural!). Then, I top it all off with the New Age Face Moisturizer. Our moisturizers contain numerous fatty acids, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, skin balancing, acne preventing properties! Each line is designed to combat certain skin concerns. Though our New Age line is more for those wanting to fight premature aging, I use it because it adds a little more hydration to my skin because of the particular condition I have. Sometimes, I move between lines to the Clear Complexion line as well because in the summer when I'm doing more sweating outside in the garden, I need more balancing effects to keep my acne down in the summer months.
Now to the morning! I do the same thing but different. I start with a splash of water, I follow with the New Age Toner, then the Castor Oil Eye Roll On (this stuff is MAGIC for those fine lines ladies!). I then go in with my Hyaluronic Acid serum and finally top it all off with my New Age Face Moisturizer. Although our moisturizers do contain carrot seed oil, which has a small SPF content, I still recommend using sunscreen on your face after this routine to protect your skin from any damaging UVA or UVB rays throughout the day. I use a mineral sunscreen by Cerave. There are several out there on the market and until I can find a way to make a non-greasy sunscreen for your face, this is what I'm sticking with until then! Anyways, I hope this helps all of you ladies inquiring about natural skin care!
After almost a year and a half into beginning the natural skin care journey, I can confidently tell you my skin has never looked or felt better! I walk aroudn more confidant than I was before knowing that my skin care is all natural, safe, non-toxic and not causing my skin to work overly hard to retain its moisture barrier!
We do offer complete sets of both of our skin care lines and when you buy a full set, you get 10% off the original price! Both lines together are worth over $100 so this is truly a steal!
