Let’s Get Skintimate
I dislike the saying, ‘beauty is only skin deep’…I realize that the whole point of this fortune cookie-esq line is to make people feel better about themselves by emphasizing that physical beauty is superficial (c’mon, give yourself a hug)… but let’s face it, you could be drop dead gorgeous and if you’re face looks like a Papa John’s pizza…well, best of luck my friend. It’s not superficial for us all to want perfect skin – it’s natural.
I’m no dermatologist but here are my current fav inexpensive picks:
- Remover: Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes (use before going to bed)
- Scrub: St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub (only use ~3x/week)
- Astringent: Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Oil-Fighting Face Astringent (use am & pm)
- Face Moisturizer: either RoC 4-Zone Daily or Olay PROx Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30 (use am & pm)
- Body Moisturizer: Vanicream (am & pm – great for severely dry skin/eczema - read more about it here) or St. Ives Advanced Vitamin E (for a less heavy duty product / during the Summer)
