Laying down foundation...


So I've been getting a fair amount of Facebook mail asking about my skin care routine, which products I use and when. Skin care is actually a science that differs for each individual roaming the planet. But I will give you a few commandments from my personal skin care bible and a wash that I feel is concrete foundation to a good routine. First and foremost this commandment drowns the others and is the one you should really take into consideration. A good complexion starts on the inside and works it's way out. Your diet, lifestyle, sleep patterns, hydration and any internal sickness all show on your body's largest organ, your skin. You can spend hundreds on skin care products ( which is unnecessary) but if your not caring for the inside of your body, you will see minimal results. The second commandment I apply to life as well as my skin, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. I truly believe that perfecting life is living on simpler terms as the key to perfecting your skin, is using minimal product. If your weighing your face down with foreign oils, fragrances and whatever else they decide to put in skin care these days, you will suffocate your skin and it will react accordingly. Now believe me I would love to tell you about Dr. Bronner and his spiritual beliefs ( which you can actually found written on the outside of the bottle ) but instead I will put you on to such a quality facial soap. This potion is fair traded and made of pure organic ESSENTIAL oils. It contains no fragrances, detergents or toxic ingredients, and is a very mild wash on your face where the skin is most fragile. Bronner's can be used as a body wash as well, and is more than reasonably priced. But I will warn you in advance, you need a drop the size of a penny to wash your face and if you get this soap in your eyes, you wont happy. Bronner's comes is various natural scents and variations, I'm still using a 4 month old bottle of lavender which is still half full...Enjoy!

  1. YOU do have a beautiful "GLOW". I think it doesn't come out of any bottle but shines out from within you.
    My older skin needs more "help" to keep that youthful glow. :)
