Things I love Thursday...

I love skin care products. I have been called a product whore more than once. I love giving myself facials! Lately my hormones have been a little wacky...so I have been changing up my nightly routine to find a regimen that works. My forehead is oily and breaking out, and my cheeks are dry. And oh, don't even get me started on the hyper-pigmentation (dark areas of skin) on my upper lip and chin...

So I have been using my Caudalie foaming face wash every other night, alternating it with Dermalogica's Dermal Clay cleanser. I love both, but the Dermalogica cleanser has some menthol in it, and I feel so clean after I use it.

After removing the cleanser from my face with a clean washcloth for a good exfoliation, I have been using Bliss spa's Oxygen mask. It foams up and tingles... I love how amazing my skin looks after about 5 minutes. When I have more time (when Jaden actually goes to sleep at a decent hour) I go a bit further and I use Bliss Spa's Steep Clean mask. It has a dual chambered bottle that pumps out two different products. You mix them in your palms and apply to your face. It contains a mix of enzymes that are activated when you mix them together. I leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. I can feel it working!

After I rinse my face, I have been using Skin-Ceuticals B5 hydrating gel on my cheeks. Then I apply Caudalie night cream. It has a mixture of herbal ingredients that help to fade hyper-pigmentation.

Sometimes while my mask is on, I use a pumice stone on my heels and apply Caudalie Extra Hydrating Mask to my feet. I am guilty of wearing flip flops all summer and my feet get so dry. That mask works wonders on my poor feet.

I end my home spa treatment with a little bit of Young Living Peace and Calming oil on the back of my neck and lower back.

I go to bed feeling so relaxed and revived after I treat myself to this... I sleep amazing and I awaken the next morning feeling rested and ready to start my busy day with a renewed sense of self. I think that when I take care of myself I am a happier mother, wife and friend...
