Face it: Simple Everyday Skincare Routine and Recommendations

A good skincare regime is very important especially for me because I wear makeup almost daily. I have a oily t-zone so toning and keeping my skin properly moisturized is crucial. I do not use any of the moisturizing lotions that are available on the market, I have tried them, but they seem to make my skin more oily so I choose to use oils instead, because it seems to counteract this. Below are the products I currently use for my simple skin routine. The products are affordable and beneficial.


Morning and night I wash my face with Pears transparent soap, because it washes away debris without leaving my skin, dry and tight. 



After washing my face I use Assured 100% Natural Witch Hazel to tone and sooth my skin.

Benefits
Tightens pores
Reduces inflammation
Fights acne
Improves skin tone

Recommendations
Do not over use, it can cause skin to dry out. 
Always use a moisturizer afterwards.
Test on a small patch of skin before use, to check for allergic reaction if you have sensitive skin.
After applying the witch hazel I follow up with Dr. Adorable's Red Raspberry Oil because it has natural SPF 28-40 and vitamin E. This oil is light weight and doesn't clog the pores.

Benefits
Anti-aging
Antioxidant
Hydrating
UV Filters
Anti-inflammatory
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Essential Fatty Acids 

Treatment
Eczema
Psoriasis
Wrinkles
Sagging Skin


Before bed I wash with Pears, I tone my face with Assured 100% Natural Witch Hazel and apply De La Cruz Avocado Oil this oil is thicker and has a lower SPF rating of 4-15 so I prefer to use this oil at night. If feels great on the skin and gives you my skin a healthy glow.
