Happy Valentine’s Day!! Today I want to share with you my current skin care routine because well, I am loving it and the products!
When I switched to eating Paleo/Primal back in 2011, I also began to switch out my skin and hair care items to products that were less harmful. Deep down I know that living a health lifestyle meant more than just eating whole, real food. Today, my understanding for that has grown even deeper!!
Going through the Nutrition Therapy Consultant course taught me that the body works hard to process ALL the toxins it is exposed to…that means what is applied to the body means just as much as it means what we put in it! The skin is largest organ and what we apply to it does get absorbed in the bloodstream and travels throughout the body until the liver is able to process those substances and expel them from the body…if the liver is functioning as it should be.
Unfortunately, there is very little regulation when it comes to what can be used in skin care products. Most of the substances have some pretty unhealthy side effects. There as been links to cancer, hormone disruption, birth defects and brain function issues. That’s some pretty scary stuff!!
I have been using these products from Beautycounter and Morrocco Method. I really love the way they make my skin look and feel without the harmful substances that can negate all the other healthy steps I take!
Morning Routine
Wash face with Nourishing Cream Cleanser. I just started using this in January but knew after 2 washes that I LOVED it!!!
Moisturize with 5 drops No. 1 Brightening Oil. Provides moisture using 7 plant-based oils and it is absorbed so nicely into skin!
Nightly Routine
Wash face with Nourishing Cream Cleanser
Moisturize with Recovery Sleeping Cream, followed by 3 drops No. 1 Brightening Oil
Additional Weekly Routines
1 to 2 times a week I wash my face with the Charcoal Bar for a little extra deep cleansing that doesn’t strip my skin of moisture.
Once a week I exfoliate with Feng Shea Facial Scrub. This scrub is so gently and leaves my skin looking fresh.
Twice a week I apply the No. 1 Brightening Mask for a softer and brighter look!
That is my routine, simple and effective!!
But not only do these products feel my skin looking soft, bright and nourished, they are also all made in the USA!! To me that is just as great as having radiant skin!!
