Simple & Natural Skin Care
Getting older stinks! Our bodies just aren't the same as when we were younger. If I only knew then what I know now. When I was in my 20's and 30's I would have taken a little better care of my body and skin. Less sun, healthier eating and most of all better skin care. A little too late to turn back the clock now. But it's not to late to start taking care of my skin.
As we get older our skin starts to wrinkle, loses it's elasticity, and tone becomes uneven. Spending hundreds of dollars on those fancy skin care products isn't the answer. There are simple and natural ways you can take care of that precious skin -- ways to rejuvenate and tighten up your skin.
READ YOUR LABELS. If there are a lot of names on the label that you have no idea what they are I would suggest not buying it. There is also a lot of information on the internet about the nasty chemical sodium laureth sulfate and it's connection to cancer. One website says it is true and another disputes it. Who do we believe? I'm going to go with first hand knowledge of the chemical.
My son would constantly get canker sores in his mouth. His dentist recommended he switch to a toothpaste that didn't have this chemical in it. Now that we've switched his toothpaste, he no longer gets canker sores. I'm going to play it safe and stick to the basic and natural ingredients.
You can pamper yourself without all those expensive skin care products. You can give yourself your own spa treatments at home for dollars less. Create a regular skin care regiment now, it is so important as you get older with your skin losing its elasticity, wrinkles are forming and skin becomes dehydrated.
Here are some simple and natural ways to take care of your precious skin.
With all the skin care cleaning products for your face out there, it can get quite confusing. Trying to figure out what to use and when to use it requires a skin care manual and who has the time. There are exfoliation scrubs, toners, tonics, moisturizers, hydrate sprays and cleansers.
First we need to be careful not to over clean our face as this does more harm than good. Skin care doesn't need to be that complicated. I've broken it down into some basic, simple steps.
And remember all you moms with Jeeps -- some important accessories you will need. A hat, sunscreen, water bottle and plenty of lotion!

With all the skin care cleaning products for your face out there, it can get quite confusing. Trying to figure out what to use and when to use it requires a skin care manual and who has the time. There are exfoliation scrubs, toners, tonics, moisturizers, hydrate sprays and cleansers.
First we need to be careful not to over clean our face as this does more harm than good. Skin care doesn't need to be that complicated. I've broken it down into some basic, simple steps.
In the Morning
Cleanse: If you've properly cleansed your face in the evening all you need to do in the morning is splash your face with warm water. In the evening make sure you use a small amount of cleanser on your face, and use gentle circular motions. A thorough rinse is important to get rid of all the soap residue. Soap residue left on the face clogs your pores and attracts more dirt.
Exfoliate: Proper exfoliation makes a big difference on your skin. This will remove the dead cells on your skin and any left over dirt and oils.
Toner/Tonics: These products are meant to remove leftover soap residue, make-up, dirt and oil. If you've done your job cleaning and exfoliating this step is not necessary. However some toners can help you reduce your pores.
Moisturizer/Hydration Sprays: Keeping your face hydrated through out the day is important. When our skin gets dried out the wrinkles start to form. Proper moisturizer for you face is important.
Facial Masks: These should only be used twice a week. The masks are meant to tighten up your skin and reduce the size of your pores .
And remember all you moms with Jeeps -- some important accessories you will need. A hat, sunscreen, water bottle and plenty of lotion!
