HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A FANTASTIC DAY! TODAY ON MY BLOG I WANTED TO SHARE MY NEW FALL SKINCARE ROUTINE. SKINCARE IS IMPORTANT TO ME. GROWING UP I HAD VERY DIFFICULT SKIN. I FELT LIKE EVERYTHING I TRIED MADE MY SKIN RED, IRRITATED OR BREAKOUT. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE SKIN AND CAN ONLY USE NATURAL PRODUCTS. EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF PERFUME IN A SKIN PRODUCT WILL CAUSE SEVERE ITCHING AND REDNESS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I FOUND OUT MARY KAY WAS LAUNCHING A NATURAL-CERTIFIED SKIN CARE LINE I WAS BEYOND THRILLED. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THESE PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY LAUNCHED AND HAVE BEEN USING THEM IN MY ROUTINE SINCE AND AM OBSESSED. LET’S GO INTO THE LINE AND HOW I USE IT:
FIRST, I START OUT WITH THE MARY KAY NATURALLY PURIFYING CLEANSER ($26). I USE THE CLEANSER TO GET OFF ALL MY EXCESS MAKEUP FROM THE DAY, AND PREP MY SKIN. THE CLEANSER DOES A GREAT JOB OF TRULY GETTING EVERYTHING OFF WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I HAD TO SCRUB HARD AND IRRITATE MY SKIN. IT CONTAINS A FRESH SWEET ALMOND OIL AND CONTAINS ANTIOXIDANT-RICH VITAMIN E TO HELP SMOOTH AND CONDITION THE SKIN. TO APPLY THIS, I DAMPEN MY SKIN AND SQUIRT A LITTLE CLEANSER ONTO A COTTON PAD, THEN MASSAGE INTO MY SKIN.
AFTER I’VE CLEANSED, I WORK IN THE MARY KAY NATURALLY EXFOLIATING POWDER ($34). THIS PRODUCT IS AWESOME. I’VE NEVER TRIED A POWDER EXFOLIATOR BEFORE, AND I’M NEVER GOING BACK. IT’S MADE FROM RICE STARCH, CITRIC ACID, HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, AND BAKING SODA. FOR ME, MOST EXFOLIATORS MAKE MY SKIN TINGLE AND BURN (NOT IN A GOOD WAY) BUT THIS ONE ALMOST FEELS LIKE A SUGAR SCRUB! I ADDED TWO DROPS OF THE MARY KAY NATURALLY NOURISHING OIL AND SOME WATER AND STARTED SCRUBBING. INSTANTLY MY FACE FELT LIKE BUTTER! I’M PRETTY SURE THIS IS MY FAVORITE PRODUCT IN THE LINE.
NEXT, I FINISH OFF MY FACE WITH THE MARY KAY NATURALLY MOISTURIZING STICK ($28). CONTAINING BEESWAX AND CANDELILLA WAX, THIS IS A SMOOTH NATURAL MOISTURIZER THAT’S VERY VERSATILE. I REALLY ENJOY THIS BECAUSE IT'S PERFECT FOR TRAVEL. IT’SNOT A LIQUID SO IT'S VERY EASY TO KEEP IN MY CARRY-ON FOR PLANE RIDES, AND IT’S A GOOD MOISTURIZER TO KEEP IN MY PURSE FOR MY HANDS, KNEES, AND ELBOWS, FOR A REFRESH IN THE DAY. THE FORMULA DOESN’T FEEL STICKY AND IS FAST DRYING. I’LL ALSO APPLY THIS IN THE MORNING AS IT’S PERFECT FOR UNDER MY MAKEUP. I FIND THAT IT HELPS MY MAKEUP APPLY MORE EVENLY TO MY SKIN.
