Beauty Series: Daily Routine. Part 2.

Now comes the second part of this beauty series, so let’s pick up right where we left off.

The next step in my morning beauty routine, after cleaning my face and applying eye gel,  is moisturizing my skin.  For a few years, I’ve been applying a vitamin C serum by Avalon Organics. Besides the vitamin C in it, which it’s great to fight sun damage, it’s full of antioxidants that help fight all signs of aging, from freckles to wrinkles. It’s oil-free and very light, I highly recommend it.

Following the serum, I use an oil-free moisturizer. I have tried several over the years, but since recently deciding to avoid chemicals as much as possible, I discovered a new product that it’s not from a mainstream brand and that I’m really pleased with: Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Anti-Acne Facial Moisturizer. The name is pretty self explanatory, it contains oxygen and acne fighting ingredients, including salicylic acid. It is a truly non-greasy cream, which it’s one of my favorite things about it, it doesn’t leave my face shiny at all. Plus it contains a bunch of vitamins (A,C,D and E), and no sulfates, parabens nor any other harsh chemicals. It is also very reasonably price at $6.99 for a 4 oz. bottle. This one is a keeper!

 That’s it for today. Don’t miss tomorrow the final step in my morning beauty routine before moving on to my night time routine.

 

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Facial Serum: $18.77 at Walmart.
Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Anti-Acne Facial Moisturizer: $6.99 at Ulta.

 

Beauty Series: Daily Routine. Part 1.

Since I did my last post on beauty, some of you have been asking me about my daily beauty routine for my face at morning and night, and about the products I use. So I figure I would share that information with all of you here. However, it would make for one long (and possibly boring) post, so I decided to make it into a series, and I will be posting all the information in parts all throughout this week.

Quote of the Day: Choose Wisely

Today’s quote of the day is courtesy of one of my favorite authors and life coaches, Martha Beck. Not only does she provide wonderful insights about life, but she’s usually quite hilarious about it. I am suscribed to her newsletter and blog, which includes receiving via e-mail a Quote of the Day everyday Monday thru Friday. Today’s quote is:

Once we’re willing to confront our emotional suffering, we begin making choices based on attraction instead of aversion, love instead of fear. Martha Beck

Often so many of our choices are based in trying to avoid pain, fear and discomfort, when the best choices are always made out of love. Unfortunately, making choices based on love doesn’t mean you won’t have to deal with pain, fear and discomfort anymore, it just means that when you do, you’ll have something bigger to get you thru; you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are acting with courage and integrity. So next time you make an important life choice, ask yourself “Why am I really choosing this?”. If your answer begins with “Because I don’t want to…”, you may want to take a second and deeper look at your real motives for making that choice.
