In my recent search for the perfect skin care products for my skin type (sensitive / acne prone), I have come across a few products I am pretty much obsessed with. Well, obsessed may be a little bit too crazy. But, I am damn obsessed with the difference I have seen in my face. The texture, elasticity, and the overall appearance of my skin has totally changed. I am pleased to say these products I speak of are pretty inexpensive. Everything is under $10, and 96-98% natural. Paraben, petroleum, SLS free. The brand I speak of is (in no affiliation) Yes To Carrots. But, for my skin type, I use Yes To Tomatoes. I always had issues with being too oily and this skin care line leaves my face feeling normal. Not dry, not oily. Simply amazing, in my opinion. Mind you, I have searched high and low looking for something to get rid of my somewhat cystic acne and white heads. However, nothing... until now.
In Beauty School, I have learned a few things. Facials being one of those. I'd like to share of few tips and tricks of my own that I feel have added to skin care regime.
First, all you need is your cleanser. (This is the one I speak so highly of.)
Dab a bit on your forehead, chin and cheeks, massaging inward towards your nose. Doing so in this manner circulates the blood flow, meanwhile tightening the skin. Almost as if defying gravity. Which we love, right? ;)
Do the same with your choice of exfoliant. (This is mine.)
Always scrubbing inward. Not scrubbing too hard but just enough to feel it working. I have noticed a HUGE difference in the slight wrinkles I had on my forehead tighten up. I honestly don't even need a moisturizer after, because like I said, this brand I am using doesn't leave my skin dry or uncomfortable. I also have noticed that in by doing this, I don't normally use a foundation primer like I usually would. Maybe on occasion.
After cleansing, I use the spot treatment roller ball stick on problematic areas. Usually my jawline. This product contains Bisabolol & Ginger, Organic Tomatoes and Salicylic Acid. This actually stops any pimples from forming a head.
The only gripe I had (at first) was the scent of the cleanser. It's not that it smells bad, it just smells clean. If that makes any sense. I am totally in love and wanted to share a little info. Possibly to help and spread the word of these wonderful products. For the price, I'd say it's worth giving a try. Also, it is possible to get salon treatment right in your own bathroom. :)
Hope this helps!
