Simple Head to Toe Skincare


I thought I would share some tips today to keep your skin looking and feeling awesome from head to toe. The products in my pic are some of my beauty must haves that I always keep on hand and use every single day. Here are the simple steps I follow to keep my skin soft, glowing and free of dull, dry, dead skin cells. It's easy and it's inexpensive!

1. While in the shower I use a bath poof with body wash and cleanse from head to toe. I absolutely love Caress Evenly Gorgeous and Caress Glowing Touch.

2. Once a week I use exfoliating gloves in place of my bath poof along with my body wash of choice. Use very light circular motions and start from your feet and work your way upwards. This stimulates your circulation and also exfoliates off any dead skin cells making you super soft.

3. After lightly toweling off, I use either Jergens Ultra Healing or Palmers Cocoa Butter all over. Allow to dry and get dressed.

4. At night before bed, apply lotion again from head to toe.

See it's just that simple. A little maintenance on your part and you will look and feel great. All of these products can be purchased at major retailers and drugstores. I get all of these items at Walmart unless they are sold out and then I run by Walgreens. Just remember with the bath poof and exfoliating gloves to replace them every 4-6 weeks max. They are both super inexpensive and are usually just under $2-3 each. If you are having problems with dry skin or that awful winter itch, try this method and you will never be itchy again. I promise!

Big Oily Mess


Like many of you, I have oily skin. People have told me my whole life that it will go away one day or that I should be thankful because I won't get as many wrinkles. Hmmm - well I'm 31 and it still hasn't gone away, but I can somewhat say that I am grateful that my skin isn't dry, especially since I am a tanner. I have tried SO many different products over the years, including going to various dermatologists and using prescription products. In my experience I have found that the less I do to my face the better. I have somewhat sensitive skin too so I have to take extra care of it. If I have learned one thing in all my 31 years it is to NOT reapply powder once I have done so in the morning. But what about my face you ask? Don't I look and feel gross? Nope and I'll tell you why. For years I have used blotting sheets of all sorts. I have tried so many different brands it's not even funny. But the winner hands down goes to Clean And Clear. I have been using these for at least 5 years - maybe longer than that. They are my most favorite and the most effective as far as removing all shine/oil, making your skin feel clean, not breaking me out ever, and not taking off makeup w/ use. If you have oily skin and are at your wits end - check these out. These retail for around $5 and a pack will last you quite awhile as they contain 50 sheets. Available at most drugstores and major retailers.
