My All-Natural Skincare Routine

Self Care is an important part of mental health and skincare plays a big role in my own self-care journey. Personally, I’m super self-conscious about my own skin and have always admired those who manage to pull off clear skin without the use of makeup to cover up ugly blemishes.

My goal with my skin was to never resort to making up to mask my imperfections. I almost never wear concealer or foundation and I use powder on a very rare basis. And I don’t have hundreds to dump into chemically produced skincare products that’ll probably just mess with my skin negatively.

So, I went to the internet. I have oily skin so I listened to lots of skincare videos and looked into several recipes before investing in all the ingredients. And today, I’m going to be sharing my routine with you guys. I’m so excited to give you guys the recipes I use to make my own products.

Note: Just because this routine works for me personally does not mean it will work the exact same way for you. No one has the exact same skin. We’re all beautifully different! Feel free to modify this for your own usage.

Step One: Face Wash: So the first step is to cleanse my face and get rid of all the dirt and bacteria. I use a foaming face wash because it’s smooth and gentle on my skin rather than being harsh and oily like other options I’ve tried. I got my foaming soap bottle on Amazon: (https://www.amazon.com/Jarmazing-Products-Mason-Foaming-Dispenser/dp/B07D3Y5R1L/ref=sr_1_4?crid=19M25BN2TL6B7&dchild=1&keywords=mason+jar+foaming+soap+dispenser&qid=1587660555&sprefix=mason+jar+fo%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-4). Here are the ingredients I use: Unscented Castile Soap, Castor Oil, Water, and Lemon essential oil.

Step Two: Facial Toner: The only step in my skincare routine that is not a recipe is my toner. I use the brand Thayers Witch Hazel Toner. Witch Hazel is recommended for my skin type and it works great at balancing your skin color. Personally, this is probably my favorite product because it’s a great natural concealer! When I have an acne buildup, the toner evens out the red, therefore hiding the acne from the eye’s sight. It makes my skin look super clear.

You can buy the toner I use here: https://www.amazon.com/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Petal-Formula-12-Facial/dp/B007HD570Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=LEDV8QZNJN5C&dchild=1&keywords=thayers+witch+hazel+toner&qid=1587658291&sprefix=thayers+witch+hazel%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMUtYNzM3NDFUVzhSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTgyNjAyM01YUk44QjcwMEtMQSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzEyMzU3S1kwMzdKS1EyUkhOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Step Three: Moisturize!: And the last step in my main skincare routine is to moisturize. I use an amber bottle and a dropper. I can’t track down the source I found my recipe from but essentially I use aloe vera juice and tea tree oil. I drop that on different areas of my face and rub it in so it absorbs into my skin. PLUS, it works AMAZING as an acne treatment. I put a bit more onto those areas with acne and within 2–3 days my zits and whiteheads have disappeared! It’s amazing!

Bonus: Makeup Remover: Now, I don’t use this on a daily basis–only when I wear heavy makeup. However, this is another homemade product so I might as well share it with you. And if you made these previous recipes, you’ll already have most of the ingredients. This recipe includes Castile Soap, Witch Hazel, Coconut Oil, and Essential Oils. I put it in this glass jar and use cotton pads/cotton balls, dip it in the makeup remover, and use it to remove all eye makeup–including mascara–with very little effort. Truly is a game-changer in my own skincare routine.
