Natural Face Cleanser: Witch Hazel

Witch hazel is a natural astringent for the skin, it helps to cleanse the face, and removes bacteria that can cause acne and skin irritation. So I recently started using this product because I just discovered that my face is sensitive and can not deal with too many ingredients or chemicals so I've been searching for good quality or natural face products that deal with sensitive skin. After using the witch hazel for a about 3 weeks now I can break down my review as so:

Pros: Very gentel on the skin, removes bacteria, closes pores, leaves skin feeling very clean and smooth.

Cons: Leaves skin dry!

Overall even though the witch hazel leaves the skin feeling dry I find that if you follow up with a good non clogging oil or moisturizer you will be good to go!

Kudos for clean healthy skin!!

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads

I have been eyeing these cleansing pads for the past 2-3 weeks now and I finally gave in and decided to buy.  So Aveeno claims that the pads gently exfoliates to reveal skin's natural radiance.  One of the key ingredients in the pads is soy which is suppose to help even out the skin tone if there is any discoloration on your face.  The pads have two different textured sides, one smooth and the other with little scrubbies.  So when I first tried the cleansing pads I had make up on my skin, more so on my eyelids.  After wetting my face I used the smooth side of the pad on my face and it began to have a light foamy soapy lather that was very gentle.  The eyeshadow I had on my eyelids wiped right off within a couple of strokes of the pad.  Then I flipped the pad around and began to use the scrubby (exfoliation) side and the little scrubs were not harsh at all, just overall gentle and moisturizing.  Finally, I rinsed my face then applied coconut oil for moisture and voila completo!  Overall I can safely say that I like the cleansing pads a lot because of these keys reasons.

• The removal of make up from my face was a breeze.
• Moisture!!
• Love the double sided pads.
• Natural soy makes me happy, especially if it's known for bringing radiance to skin.
• Actually left my face feeling CLEAN!
• HOWEVER, if you don't follow up with a moisturiser your face may feel a little dry, some facial moisturizer or coconut oil should do the trick!

Overall I like this product and I can't wait to see the longterm results.  Thats it for now..peace!!

Sweet Beauty Facial Scrub

Today I decided to do an all natural facial scrub that I could not wait to share with you.  So the simple ingredients for the facial scrub are honey, salt, and coconut oil.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of salt

1 tablespoon of honey

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

I added two tablespoons of salt, one tablespoon of honey, and one tablespoon of coconut oil. This will make a thick paste and to loosen it up a bit you can add a few drops of water. So when I was in the shower I applied the scrub on my face and scrubbed with the tips of my fingers in little circles just to really let the salt scrub and exfoliate into my skin. Then after scrubbing the facial scrub I then let it sit for about thirty seconds then I rinsed it off with warm water. Once I rinsed it off my skin felt so soft to the touch, I then applied coconut oil as a moisturizer on my skin and the coconut oil felt great and truly moisturized my skin. I will continue to scrub my face this way because it's natural and healthy for the skin. Honey is known for moisturizing and softening the skin. Salt is known for exfoliating the skin and getting rid of dead skin cells and coconut oil is also another great moisturizer that penetrates the skin. So if you get a chance try this scrub because it is amazing especially those with dry skin the coconut oil will definitely add moisture. I hope this gets added to your skin care regiment because it’s very beneficial.  So yeah I hope you get a chance to try it and see how it works for you, hope you enjoyed the post! Peace.
