A Fabulous Eco Face

I've been meaning to write about this, but I had to really test it out for awhile to see the results.

I have a new skin care regime for my face that i use and it has saved me through the cold snow, the brisk 30 wind chills, and even this nice change to 80 degrees. And it is eco-friendly.

My exfoliant is a simple small loofah. I got one that is surrounded by bamboo terry cloth.

My soap is the Seattle Rainwater soap I got for x-mas, but when I run out of that I will simply use castille soap. These soaps are nice and gentle to the skin. They cleanse without completely pealing away the good oils for your face, the oils that keep dryness at bay. So they leave the skin so wondefully soft and clean. Besides, if you can't use a soap on your face, why are you using it anywhere else on you?

The I spritz myself with a witch hazel. I use a simple spray bottle with a diffuser type spritz. You can find some rose water if your face is more sensitive. But these make for wonderful astringents. Simply spritz and let it dry for a minute. It also makes fora great skin pick me up on a hot day.

My main moisturizer is pure grapeseed oil mixed with a bit of vitamin E oil. Since grapeseed oil is very emoilient as well as very light it makes a wonderful facial oil. It might even be anti-oxidant. In fact it is already in a lot of facial products. Aura Cacia makes a premade mix of the two oils that cost about $7. The biggest trick to putting this on (i rub it in with my fingers after putting a little less than a dime size portion in my hand) is to let it set for a minute on your face, then blot off the excess with a hand towel.

I use this night and day and it has made my skin fabulous. I don't break out unless I forget to do it one night, it is simple, and it is eco friendly. I couldn't believe how easy it is to have soft, non-greasy, normal skin. Try it for a week or two. You might really begin to notice a difference. It also works well in getting make up removed. Who knew?
