Face Regimen Secrets

 I believe that nothing is more important than keeping a consistent morning & nightly routine for our faces. KEEP A STRICT SKINCARE REGIMEN. That is, if you don't want zits, pimples, discolored spots, and all those other fun presents we never ask for. They don't stay away by magic & wishing!  I have been through so many different facial washes that I basically cleared out the stores shelves. I found the perfect face wash that works for every kind of skin type. 

If it isn't known already, know this now...

#1-- I absolutely swear by CETAPHIL.


P.S. -- You can get it at Wal-Mart, & its super cheap! 
(around $8-$12 depending on size)

For me, I've always had the sensitive skin. Whenever I would wash my face, it would turn red, and splotchy. Cleansers and products with too many toxins would make my skin break out. CETAPHIL is strong enough for the faces that need deep cleaning, yet gentle enough to nourish the skin back to strength.

I would suggest sticking with one facial cleanser. Your face will most likely freak out when you do switch, because it isn't familiar with that type of wash. I also like to buy CETAPHIL's facial lotion. I am extremely terrified of putting normal lotion onto my face, so I just stick with this one... and it's good, REALLY GOOD. I cringe when I hear that people don't moisturize their skin, and when the skin looks dry & flaky. 

NEVER, EVER, EVER go to bed with makeup!! 


#2-- I never skip a morning without scrubbing my face with sugar. 
Yes, sugar. It's good for you're skin.. who would have known?! 

I'll give you some reasons why:
     -It's a great exfoliator & also acts as a deep cleanser
     -Sugar is alpha-hydroxy rich, which makes your skin glow!
     -It helps the face to evenly have the same texture & color
     -Sugar scrubs are very safe for every skin type
     -It hydrates our skin without clogging our pores
     -Because it exfoliates, our makeup goes on 10x smoother (my favorite)
     -When exfoliating, it gets rid of dead skin particles 
     -it is an AMAZING lip scrub! ..makes them soft & smooth.
...and those are just to name a few. 

You can use..

WHITE SUGAR


I use this when I need more of a deep exfoliant & smoother skin.

or

BROWN SUGAR



I use this when my skin is extra sensitive & I need more of a gentle exfoliate.

I never use sugar on my face at night, only in the morning. Don't overdo it, use it once a day. In the morning, get the normal amount of facial cleanser in your hand and mix in some sugar. After, rinse with water & your done. 

DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE. 

TRY THESE OUT!

I love beautiful skin!

I've tried a sugar and lemon juice scrub before which worked really well but I'll have to try rubbing sugar on my face, it would be much less expensive than my daily scrub. Love your DIY tips : )
