Morning Skin Routines

[morgan]

Just finished my shower and cleansing, moisturising, blah blah - tedious stuff.  What products do you girls use to keep yourselves young and bootiful?  I've tried a number of things over the years, cheap and expensive.  At the moment I'm using Jurilique (all plant-based).  Smells good, feels good, but making me look 20 years younger - I don't think so haha.

Anyone got a sure fire routine to take those years away and make your skin glow.  Miracle cream?  Come on girls - SHARE  pleasssssseeeee.

Can't wait to see everyone's responses!  I use organic coconut oil for moisturizing.

I use alot of moisturizer! I have wicked dry skin and roseacea. The medication doesn't work for me. Like Kim I like coconut oil for my skin and for my face I clean it with noxema and moisturize with eucerine face lotion.If I break out I use essential oils .I make a mix of calendula oil and teatree that my daughter actually sells at her spa. I think water has alot to do with keeping your skin beautiful I drink alot of water.Cucumbers are also excellent. I think a healthy diet with no processed food helps too

I hear almond oil does wonders too...I haven't tried it yet though.  Having had psoriasis from the time I was 8 years old.... moisturizing is a most for me.  I use everything I can get my hands on the doesn't make me feel greasy...   Olive oil and cocoa butter as well as coconut oil are great after a bath if I have the time to let is soak in otherwise I stick with good old gold bond extreme moisture for those days that I am in a rush. 

Here is one of the only good uses for sugar that I can see. 

Homemade sugar rub    2 parts sugar 1 part oil = lovely feel good skin.

Homemade bath salts
1 c. Sea Salt
1 Tbsp. Baking Soda
3-4 drops essential oils.
If I really want to pamper myself I get a my nails done first then....
Do a nice rub down with the sugar rub and a nice soak with the bath salts......Wow do you feel like a new person when done....LOL  I'm not sure about taking the years off though    Haha

FYI...these make great gifts

I use sweet almond oil for my carrieur oils for massage lotions.It is wonderful.It is instantly absorbed into the skin.With any moisturizer though if it doesn't absorb in 7 minutes I wipe it off. Great recipe for the bath salts TooSweet  I do a salt scrub with sweet almond oil sea salt and peppermint essential oil.Very cooling to the skin ,great exfoliater too I also like to use avocado as a face mask.Or an egg, white to tighten and yolk to moisturize

I have 4 chickens, now this is a great idea to use their eggs, whites for face mask, yolks to moisturize. Does the yolk go bad on your face? I've never used food for skin care, just over the counter products.

[umpa]

 No the whites will tighten and the yolks will moisturize Yogurt also makes a great moisturizing mask.

[o0OSusieO0o]

Do you rinse off the yolk? I'm picturing my dogs trying hard to lick my face, LOL.

[umpa]

Yes, once it gets tight give it a  couple of minutes then rinse . Really nice. 

[o0OSusieO0o]
