Favorite Skin Care

Let me start by saying I am not a professional dermatologist. I am not sponsored by any of these companies whatsoever (but if they want to sponsor me, I would be totally okay with that).  Everyone's skin is different, so some products may not work for your skin.  These are just my favorite products, that work for me!

Cleansers


purity made simple
My all time favorite cleanser is from Philosophy.  Purity Made Simple is my favorite because its gentle on the skin and it takes off all of my makeup in one step. Not only is this a luxurious cleanser, but its the lazy girls cleanser too! :)

Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening Cleanser
My next favorite is Aveeno Positivly Radiant Brightening Cleanser.  One day I was watching TV and saw Jennifer Aniston talking about this on an Aveeno commercial and wanted to try this. I mean who doesn't want to look like Jennifer Aniston, am I right? I tried it, and I loved it!

Scrubs and Exfoliantes


After trying the cleanser from Aveeno, I wanted to try the Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub.  Its the most gentle scrub I have ever tried.  Its amazing and I absolutely love it!
Blemish Control Green Tea ScrubBlemish Control Apricot Scrub
My next two favorite scrubs/exfoliants are from St. Ives.  These are affordable and deeply clean your pores.  The Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub is nice because it also helps calm redness. The Blemish Control Apricot Scrub is good for all skin types, it eliminates dead skin and it helps clean your pores.

Toners


My favorite toner is Elizabeth Arden Hydra Splash Alcohol Free Toner.  Its for normal to dry skin, it smells nice, its gentle, and its just wonderful!  The first time I used this product, I literally saw my pores shrink!


Another toner I really like is the Shisedo Ibuki Softening Concentrate.  This toner doesn't really feel like a toner, it feels more like a watered town lotion.  Its gentle and feels great!

Moisturizer

HydroMilk
My absolute favorite moisturizer is the Previse Hydromilk Hydrating Lotion.  It is wonderful for my alligator like skin!  I get dry patches all over my face and this helps tremendously!  This is a fancy product, so I only use it when my skin is extremely dry.


I use Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream every morning after I wash my face.  This is a creamy moisturizer, its about $12 at WalMart and it really does a great job!


Spectrum Naturals: Organic Coconut Oil, 14 Fl Oz
For night time use, I use Organic Coconut Oil.  It doesn't matter which brand.  I like to get mine at a grocery store and I have tried the type that is sold as a liquid and the kind that is more solid.  I like the solid kind better, it eventually turns to a liquid substance.  They do the same thing, so whatever you can find will work.  This is something that is only recommended for extremely dry skin.  I like to put it on at night so that my skin can really absorb it.


Well that's it!  I hope you enjoyed my fav skin care products.  I don't have perfect skin, and sometimes I feel like I even over do it when it comes to skin care.  Sometimes I get lazy and don't do anything at all and sometimes I scrub until the first layer comes off (just kidding)!
