Best Morning Skin Care Routine

Yesterday I posted how to help with the dark circles

and bags under your eyes. Today I want to talk about a

morning skin care routine.

We often talk about working out to help stay healthy

but we don't always think about our skin. I know I really

didn't until I started getting older. I mean I've always

used lotion on my skin, I have to admit I love lotion but

that's not all you need.

Today is mostly about your face but I want you to also think

about adding lotion to your arms and legs which is normally the driest part of your body.

Hopefully by doing a morning skin care routine not only

will your skin start to look better but you may feel more

awake and rejuvenated!!

Start with using a cleansing oil, rub it into your face in a

circular motion and down your neck. Rinse with warm water

but don't dry your face.

Follow the oil up with a water based cleanser, I love the Garnier!!

I normally squirt some onto a makeup pad and gently

apply to my face in a circular motion.

Once done pat your face dry.

Now add a toner; using a toner is important because

it removes any bits of oil and dirt left behind by

a cleanser. It shrinks your pores and balances the ph level

of your skin. Again use a makeup pad and a circular motion.

Let your face air dry.

Apply whatever eye serum you want to use, whether it

be store bought or a DIY one you have made.

Now add your moisturizer, you don't want just any lotion,

you want one perfect for the face. Aveeno, Gold Bond &

Olay are all great choices.

Lastly apply a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30.

Sunscreen helps protect your skin of course from the sun

which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines and spots.

Now if you wear makeup you are ready to put your primer

on and go from there.

Whether you use makeup or not, follow the other steps

every morning for a healthier, glowing face!

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
