Natural Beauty

In an attempt to go a bit more natural with my beauty routine I have been using olive oil as my daily body moisturizer. I can't say enough good words about it! It moisturizes my skin really well, better than any store bought lotion. I use it after I shower and I wakeup in the morning with smooth soft moisturized skin. I really suggest trying it for a few weeks instead of store bought lotions. There are so many lotions that claim to have olive oil in them and they actually have hardly any. Why pay for stuff that has chemicals in it, when you can get a pure natural oil that does a better job? I use De Cecco Extra Vigin Olive Oil.

Now I use olive oil at night and in the morning I use my Laura Mercier lotion on my arms because I adore the smell. Because of Olive Oil I can milk the jar for longer!

Juice Beauty- Summer Makeup Routine

Summer is coming! This means fresh, bright and vibrant skin. Instead of scrubs to exfoliate I have been using a chemical based formula. These are gentler on your skin if you have sensitive skin or acne. I have been testing Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel and their Hydrating Mist. The Juice Beauty products are organic and natural, which is a plus!

So I have been using the regular strength peel and I love it! I don't have sensitive skin, so the normal strength is perfect for me. I put it on after using a mild cleanser and leave it on for 15 minutes. After my skin looks refreshed and very vibrant. This peel reminds me of a lighter version of the chemical peel my dermatologist gives me. The peel comes out as a clear gel that I evenly spread over my face. It tingles for the first then it stops. After this I wash it off with cold water.

After the peel I spray on the Hydrating Mist. This stuff is great! It's so light yet moisturizing and it sinks into my skin very quickly. It is the most calming and cooling spray ever. It's great because after my skin is a bit sensitive from the peel the mist calms it without re-clogging pores.

So those are my skin care products to get my skin vibrant and beautiful for summer. I do the peel every month, as it suggests. I use the hydrating mist whenever I feel like it because I love how it cools and moisturizes my skin.  Buy Juice Beauty products at http://www.Juicebeauty.com/.

Here's a closer look at the Hydrating Mist liquid.

Also, don't forget sunblock! Right now I am using Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock spf 70. Don't forget your neck and your hands when you apply sunblock. I like this sunblock right now because it doesn't leave a gray film on my face and it sinks in very quickly. It's also cheap!

Loving Lush- Body Powder

LUSH's Silky Underwear Dusting Powder should be in everyone's after-bath arsenal. It smells like sweet jasmine and it has a silky texture that glides on your skin. It's great to use after a shower to feel dry and refreshed or to sprinkle on your sheets because the smell is so soothing. I like that it has small finely milled shea butter granules in it to keep you dry and moisturized at the same time. When you purchase it make sure to only open it a crack, a little goes a long way.

 

Buy it at your local LUSH store or online at www.lushusa.com for $11.25.

Shiseido Haul

Ok... so I love Shiseido? Yes. I needed new face care products and I've been wanting to try Shiseido for a while. I love everything about the cosmetic side of their brand so I bet their face care products will be great. The brightening products are supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, surface roughness, visible spots and dullness. The Deep Cleansing Foam is supposed to "lift away pore clogging impurities, makeup and oil that can lead to imperfections". Late nights can lead to tired looking skin so I hope that these products will help me look wide eyed and bushy tailed!

Loving LUSH-Face

LUSH states that it's Enzymion facial moisturizer "is a light moisturizer to help oily skin look bright and shine-free." I have been using this product for the past few days and it is working very well, it deeply moisturizes my skin without oil. Enzymion is all organic and it smells great. It leaves the skin feeling soft and makeup applies flawlessly on top of this moisturizer. It does seem to have really steep price tag, ($35.99) for 1.5 oz, however you don't need to use a lot of it daily, just a dab or two. I've used it at night as well and my face was fresh and plump in the morning. Overall the Enzymion moisturizer is very good and I would definitely recommend it. I find that if I use it at night my skin stays matte during the day, it to calms my skin to reduce excess oil and shine during the day, I don't have to blot and I don't look greasy by the end of the day. This gentle moisturizer doesn't break me out, which is really important. Remember if you have oily skin it doesn't mean you shouldn't moisturize it, your skin could be oily because you aren't moisturizing it. This might lead to your skin producing more oil to make up for the lack of moisturizer.

Loving LUSH-Hair

LUSH has amazing products that are made with natural ingredients so you don't have to worry about weird chemicals being absorbed by your body. On the LUSH website you can look up the ingredient that's in your product and see what it is useful for, which is really cool.

LUSH makes a hair conditioner called Retread and it's absolutely amazing. It actually penetrates my hair to moisturize it from the core instead of sitting on top like many silicone based conditioners. After washing with a moisturizing shampoo I put in Retread in my hair. It doesn't really feel like it's a heavy moisturizer that glops through your hair like many drugstore brands. Retread is creamy and thick but it somehow quickly absorbs into my hair. Then I leave it in for about five minutes, wash it out with warm water and my hair is super soft from the inside out! It's not coated with a slick substance, the actual hair shaft is moisturized. It really is a "meal for your hair" (LUSH website) because your hair actually seems to eat or absorb all of the ingredients. I love the smell too it's like a sweet creamy melon smell. I agree with the website that this conditioner is only for really thick, dry and curly hair (it would definitely make thinner hair oily and limp).

You get a 8.4 Fl oz tub. My hair is thick, long and pretty dry and I needed about two or three small scoops so I don't think I will run out too quickly. You can purchase it at any LUSH store or at www.Lushusa.com for $22.35.

Get Herbed Up

$10.75 per 3.5 ounce

Lush has some great all natural products that actually work. Though they can be a little pricey their products have ingredients you can actually pronounce, so you know exactly what you're getting, which is a plus. Lush has amazing facial washes that really do clear up acne, inflammation along with evening out skin tone without drying out your skin. Herbalism is a great cleanser it is really good for the winter months because it is non drying and it cleans very well! Herbalism is a green soft almost dough like cleanser that you buy by the pound. You actually can buy it in large quantities because Lush cleaners are made without liquids so they do not expire.

"Herbalism is a a preservative free, clay-based, herbal cleanser that is made to help absorb excess oils and leave the skin looking less shiny, making it great for skin on the oily side"- Lush.com. We do find they're claims to be true. The gentle cleanser is great for sensitive skin it helps heal and dry up blemishes without further inflaming them. The clay helps dry out extra oil and the chamomile helps sooth skin. It also exfoliates using oatmeal. We do find that there is a little residue left on our skin after this cleanser so follow up with a toner, but we would suggest that with any cleanser. This cleanser does not remove makeup very well, so we suggest using a makeup remover to remove eye makeup or heavy face make up. After you have a clean face the cleanser does exactly what it is supposed to do: cleans, calms and moisturizes skin. If you prefer you can use it in the morning when your face has no make up on it to help combat pimples and oil during the day.

Wet your face first with luke warm water then apply a small amount to each section of your face in circular motions. We find if it is applied in sections (left cheek, right cheek, chin and forehead) it is less messy and easier to work with. Follow with a light oil free non comedogenic moisturizer/anti wrinkle cream.
