Im like every other girl when it comes to skincare and makeup, I'll buy into the hype of a product, purchase it, and then can be often disappointed for one reason or another. So lately my skin has been acting up, and I have been breaking out like crazy, and so i started looking for a solution and I think I've found one.
All natural skincare and cosmetics are hard to come by and they are definatly not cheap either, but I think that with the help of a lot of research and a fantastic youtuber, i have found the solution to my need for natural skincare and cosmetics.
Firstly after watching Kassie or CloudyApples youtube videos on natural skin remedies and skin care I started doing my own research into the oil cleanse, now I have dry to combination skin and I get breakouts on my chin mostly, and this has been working amazingly for me. Now all you oily skin girls are thinking I'm crazy, but I've read a lot of reviews of oily or combo skin girls and they have all loved it too.
For the cleanse you will need 100% organic, hexane free, cold pressed castor oil and organic cold pressed olive oil or avocado oil. You will need to have a sink full of hot water and soak a face cloth in it, apply a mixture of castor oil and your other oil to your face and massage in for a few minutes, then apply the hot cloth to your face and leave on until the cloth cools and finally use the hot cloth to remove any excess oil on your face. I will leave a link at the end of this post to Kassie's video on how to do it if you need a more visual representation.
I have been doing this oil cleanse 1-2 times a day for a week and my skin looks noticeably glowier, feels smoother and cleaner. As for my breakouts, they have almost disappeared. This cleansing routine in combination with a gentle face cleanser ( I use the Michael Todd honey and oat cleanser) and some tea tree oil, have made my skins overall texture look and feel better while battling those last few pesky spots.
As for natural cosmetics I have been looking into concealers and foundations mostly and i have ordered Dr Hauschka's concealer stick after reading some great reviews and i have been eyeing up the ere perez oat milk foundation also. Both Dr Hauschka(www.adorebeauty.com.au) and ere perez( http://www.ereperez.com/) have all natural products and are readily available in Australia for a not overly expensive price.
I have been incredibly impressed with the natural changes i have made to my skincare routine and i look forward to experimenting more. If anyone has a good recommendation for any good all natural makeup products please let me know and i speak to you soon.
Have an awesome day
Jess
