New Skin Care Routine
Lately I've been doing a new skin care routine that has been working great. I really recommend trying it. The routine is a little unorthodox, but it has taken my dry & [semi] broken out face & made it moisturized & blemish free.
Morning
I massage coconut oil onto my dry face; I massage it in a slow circular motion for about a minute. I then take a wash cloth & run it under very warm water (not too hot!), I tip my head back & place the wash cloth on my face for 30 seconds allowing the steam to open my pores. After the steaming I take the wash cloth & wipe off the coconut oil, I do this by wiping very gently in a circular motion; to finish I splash my face with water & pat dry. I then put witch hazel on a cotton ball & wipe my face with it. I finish with an Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer.
Bedtime
I first remove all of my makeup with a makeup removing wipe. I then wet my face & apply the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser & use my new Olay ProX Facial Cleansing Brush. After I rinse & dry my face, I use the Revitalizing Toner. When the toner dries I apply a generous amount of CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion or if my skin is feeling a little dry I will apply coconut oil instead of lotion.

Pinterest Obsession
Lately I have been obsessed with pinning to my 'Stylish' board on Pinterest. There just so many amazing looks, & it's such a great place to get outfit inspiration. These are some of my recent pins.

Old Pictures
So I turn 22 in less then three weeks, which is just crazy! I'm working on something for a birthday post & figured I'd give a little teaser with some old pictures of me.
-Top left I the giant baby am pictured with family friends (remember them from here?).
-Top right I'm with two friends in a park near my house, one is my best friend who I've posted about before.
-Bottom right I'm about 3 or 4, playing with my toys.
-Bottom left I'm pictured with my baby cousin when I was in middle school.
It is always fun to go through old pictures! I love having all the documentation of what I've done in life, & some of them are just so funny. I can't wait to share my birthday post with all of you!

Snow
There is a reason we're calling today 'Frosty Friday,' the snow is crazy where I live! We've definitely had a blizzard. I love the snow, & I have full intentions of enjoying my snow day (even though I'm on break so it's not really a snow day for me)! There is some baking & movies in my near future.
As of last night this was what weather.com was reporting for our weather:

Your skin care routine is great! I use coconut oil too, I typically use it before bed and leave it on over night but I have super dry skin.

Stumbled across your blog from 5 on Friday! I loved your post about your skincare routine, I've heard wonderful things about coconut oil, but I've always been so intimidated to try it! Also, I swear by Aveeno moisturizer! It is a miracle worker and the only thing that hasn't made my skin break out like a pre-teen!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I love coconut oil! I also use it in my hair and it makes it super shiny!

Really coconut oil, I've heard that it does wonders but I'm afraid of trying it on my skin I'm afraid I'll have a bad reaction or something.
