My {new} daily skin care routine

Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you my skin care routine :) If there is something I'm really proud of, it's my skin! and I owe that to my vegetarian-organic diet! BUT when I first started school I had to put loads of make-up in my face and take it off, and then put everything again, and again! That really gave me breakouts and a little bit of acne (Which I've not had since my teenage years). I was so worried about that so I completely changed my routine and started to pay more attention to what my skin was asking for. After a week of following this -seriously- my skin cleared up completely. I'm so happy my fab skin is back and I really want to share this to anyone who's interested. It worked for me, it would probably not work for you or probably it will, it depends a lot on your skin and diet. All of the products I use on myself are NOT tested on animals, either Vegetarian, Vegan, and/or organic. Also, I don't like parabens or sulfates in my skin! >:-(




MORNING
1.Wash my face with water
I bought a water filter for my kitchen faucet, and I wash my face THERE and not in the bathroom, with filtered water!

2. Toner

Dermae Vitamin A Glycolic Toner: Vitamin A is a great ingredient for your skin AND Glycolic Toner helps slower aging (not PREVENT, we're all gonna age no matter what!). Applying toner on your skin before your moisturizer

3. Moisturizer:
Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion
This one is a really cool moisturizer. It is non-greasy, super hydrating, and it really helps recovering your skin from everyday routines (specially if you must wear a lot of make-up everyday and take it off and on several times, like me at make-up school at the moment).  It is made from arnica flower, too!
Made using 100% Solar energy. No animal products or testing. Dermatologically tested. Fragance, colorant and paraben free. Won't clog pores. Hypoallergenic.
You can get this at www.skinMDNatural.com

4. Sunscreen
I don't really have a preference, use like 3 different ones. Also, I have a Tinted moisturizer with SPF AND a mineral loose powder with SPF (Which I will review soon!).

NIGHT

1. Eye Make-up Remover
Chamomile Green Tea Eye Make-up Remover from EarthScience
This one is a herbal formula that purifies and refreshes your skin while removing even waterproof make-up. It has a pH 5.5., which equals the one from your skin :) it is really, REALLY both gentle and powerful  MU Remover and I've been loving it!
Always paraben free. No animal ingredients or testing.

OR
Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Peel-Off Mask / Cucumber
I LOOOOOVE this mask so much!


That's it! That's everything I put on my face before my make-up and AFTER I take it off. I've always tried to make that a routine I never break (like brushing my teeth or wearing pajamas to sleep!) and I do it no matter if it's late or I'm too tired!
:)
