My Naked Skin..... CLOSE UP!

Hi My Loves!!!

Today's video has been so highly requested over this past year. I've had so many of you asking for an updated skin care routine and I finally filmed one for you. 

Watch it here:



As promised in the video, here are some close up shots of my skin and all of it's lovely little problems :) That way you can see exactly what I'm working with.

Here are the problems that I have with my skin:
Pigmentation
Acne scars
Occasional break outs
Uneven skin tone
Redness

You can see below the pigmentation on my forehead. 


Luckily I don't have dark bags or under eye circles or wrinkles yet :)


I do have pigmentation problems under my eyes though and I don't know if you can tell but I have a permanent tanning goggle line around my eyes from all the years of tanning I did :(





You can really see the goggle tan line in this picture. It's been over 4 years since I tanned in a bed and used those darn goggles and I have a permanent goggle tan from it.



I have acne scarring on my chin and cheeks.


Redness and more discoloration.


My delightful pigmentation moustache. This is the thing I dislike the most about my skin :( It's so hard to cover up with makeup as it tends to look ashy.


I've got a few wrinkles on my neck......


And thats me, naked skin.....


So now you know what my skin looks like bare..... Hope this video helps you combat any of the skin problems you may be struggling with. Did I mention I wish I had an eyebrow that doesn't stop half way?? Haha!!!

Thanks for watching/reading!

New skincare!!! Kiss My Face and Avalon Organics

SO I went to walmart the other day because I'm just not liking my Neutrogena facewash anymore. So I was thinking maybe I should get something more on the natural side, seeing as I'm pregnant..... I'll be more nature friendly!!! LOL.

I picked up these two products and so far I'm loving them so much!! After 2 days I've already seen a noticeable difference in my pimples and my skin feels softer so I'm hoping within the next few weeks or month I'll be super duper luscious!!!!

The first Product is the cleanser that I use morning and night..... and it removes all of my eye make up as well, without stinging the eyes!!! So that's always nice, the smell is very yummy almost citrusy, and the feel of it is so gentle it almost feels like foamy water on your skin...... Also when you rinse your skin doesnt feel tight at all, it just feels clean and soft!


Kiss My Face Grapefruit / Bergamot Soap
8.75oz.

Instant foam, the direct result of the pump action without propellants. It's a miracle. No time wasted working up a lather. Cleans thoroughly but leaves your hands soft and smooth.

GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE...
Aloe Vera Gel: healing and soothing
Orange: cleansing and uplifting
Lemongrass: antiseptic skin cleanser 

$7.95



The second product is a toner. It smells like oranges and feels very gentle on the skin and I do have sensitive skin!! It doesn't burn, irritate or make my skin red which a lot of other toners do. It also doesn't leave your skin feeling tight afterwards, it almost fells moisturized after you have used it. I got it because it is organic and I thought maybe the Vitamin C, would help with my sun damage on my forehead and cheeks. So far I've only used a few days so I havent noticed any lightening of the dark spots but my skin feels much softer and the zits are going away!!!! WOOHOOOOO!!!!!
