What I’m Using On My Face

People always ask me what skincare products I use. I get sent tons of different cleansers, masques, scrubs….you name it, and I’ve probably gotten it. I’m always trying a new formula, and lately I’ve been focusing on naturals. Here’s what’s in my current rotation.
river veda everyday primrose moisturizer is pure and simple. No high-tech ingredients here, so don’t expect fireworks. Rather, I feel good rubbing this  cream with herbs and oil extracts including nutmeg, ylang ylang and evening primrose on my skin before bed. Love, love, love (get the point?) derma e Hyaluronic Acid Rehydrating Serum. Does what it promises. I use this during the day. It’s light yet moisturizing and soaks right in. For a basic cleanser I wash with Snowberry Instant Deep Cleanser, and when I’m excessively dry, I get relief with the soothing facial massage oil.

An Incredible Oil-Based Cleanser

Here it is: my first official post on The Beauty Girl. I’ve been Nicole’s intern since this summer and now that she’s busy with her new job as baby Rex’s mommy, I’m helping her stay afloat during this wonderful and busy time in her life. I’ll be reporting from my college dorm room with the scoop on beauty’s latest and greatest from oscillating thing-a-ma-jiggs to moisturizing what-cha-ma-call-its starting…now… I love to wash my face—just one of the simple pleasures of my life. But getting cleanser crazy can turn a simple pleasure into a simple disaster. Think: flakiness, redness, dehydration, the works. Cetaphil has been a long-time favorite, but there’s a new kid on my block who’s got my pores in love. Origins Clean Energy is God’s gift to the earth — especially if you have dry skin or live in a cold climate. It’s a hi-tech, hybrid formula of olive, sunflower, sesame and safflower oils. It’s not what you’re thinking—a thick, pore-clogging, residue-leaving, crude oil type of situation—it’s a silky fluid that turns into a frothy lather when it meets water. So, instead of feeling like you’ve rubbed grease on top of existing dirt and makeup, skin feels refreshed as the oil washes away. One complaint: the packaging. The bottle has a wide opening, which makes it very hard to dispense the small amount of oil that’s needed. I recently discovered that the company makes a pump to replace the regular cap that comes on the bottle. It’s a few dollars, but well worth it for the extra product that ends up dumping out of the wide spout.
