my skin product regime.

I have been getting many questions about what I use on my skin, so here it is! Before I begin, I would like to mention my extensive research and testing before I commit to what I use on my face. I have tried multiple brands over the years that profess to change your pore size, break outs, and blah blah blah, but they all drastically failed. So, I took a plunge and went against my hesitation of using organic products, and my skin has never looked better!!! True statement: I refuse to switch products for as long as I love. I am hooked on the healthy glow.Side note: the summarized reason why I adore each product is written below. If you have any questions for me, comment on the post!Important fact: if you are breaking out, don't fail to moisturize. That will not promote oil…it will provide your skin with much needed hydration creating clear skin. For a while, I believed the opposite.Here is what I use daily, and it is in the chronological order of use.MORNINGSkin by Ann Webb Super Vitamin C Serum (why I love: this heals any damage on your skin from the sun, acne, or scars.

Immediate, healthy, refreshing results!)Skin by Ann Webb Peppermint Milk (why I love: yes, this is a generally a cleanser, but it's so hydrating and gentle, so I will soak it on my face for hours.

Beat Dry Skin: My Personal Cocktail under $20

It never seems to fail that with the change of seasons comes an extreme drought for my skin. It's like the awesome cool breeze sucks the moisture right out, and when the winter comes in full force, the problem only gets worse. This season, I was bound to put a stop to this madness. I don't know about you, but I want moist, plump and clear skin that has that dewy glow! Good news: after some trial and errors, I have come to a concoction conclusion that has brought my skin back to life.

The non-magical, yet seemingly magical method:

At night, mask your face with Skin Organic's Peppermint Milk cleanser. Let it soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes. The kicker: the longer you let it soak into your skin, the better. I like to leave it on for an hour or two. Wash it off gently with warm water and a wash cloth.  Next, spray the Skin Organic's Cucumber Mist Hydrating Mist on your face after you wash off the cleanser. Let it soak into your skin, and then top that with moisturizer. (I use the Goji Azelaic serum). Spray the hydrating mist on your face anytime it feels dry!You should see a major difference in your skin in a few days!Skin Organics Peppermint Milk, $11.
