- Cleanser
I normally use face soap to clean my face.
The reasons I use soap for face and body are:
- Soap has more natural ingredients.
- It’s eco-friendlier, no plastic
- Saves money
2. Toner
I use Avalon Organics Wrinkle Therapy face toner.
Wrinkle Therapy with CoQ10 & Rosehip – Avalon Organics
Unfortunately, Avalon Organics Wrinkle Therapy face toner does come in a plastic container, but it is certified organic and contains natural ingredients. It’s a toner that is focused on restoring and tightening skin. It contains CoQ10, an antioxidant and Rosehip, which is for anti-aging.
3. Serum
I make my own serum with essential oils and grapeseed oil
4. Eye Cream
5. Moisturizer
6. SPF
I use Pacifica Vegan Collagen Everyday Lotion which is both a moisturizer and has SPF 30.
Vegan Collagen SPF30 Every Day Lotion (pacificabeauty.com)
I love Pacifica products, and I love that this face lotion has SPF to help shield against damaging UV rays. It contains vegan collagen, as well as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and flower extracts for extra hydration and moisture for skin. Free of harsh ingredients- it is formulated without parabens, phthalates, SLS or mineral oil, or any other toxic chemicals.
7. Face oil
I am using my Healing Face & Body Cream (Healing Face & Body Cream (DIY) – The Holistic Love) as both my eye cream and face oil, as well as a body moisturizer.
Having a great skin care routine is essential. Aside from skin products, staying hydrated is so important for the skin, along with consumption of fruits. You always need to make sure you are wearing sunscreen to prevent against wrinkles. Sometimes staying indoors to prevent sun damage is a good idea. At the beach on a muggy day or even in the winter time, it is still important to wear sunscreen. And you need to continuously add sunscreen to your skin every 2 hours. I don’t always do that, and it’s a good reminder to do so. And if you do get a burn, apply aloe vera. Wearing sunscreen does not prevent you from getting Vitamin D from the sun. So drink your water and wear your sunscreen!
