As an esthetician and someone who has always had sensitivity to products, I've always been very particular, well now that I am pregnant I've become extra cautious and even more particular with my skin care products (which I didn't think was possible).
WHY am I so cautious and particular? I wont go all science weenie on you but to say it briefly..
Our skin is our largest organ of the body and ABSORBS everything we put on it more than surface deep. (Hmmm... makes ya think, right?!)
MY FAVORITE Skin Care Products :
1. Sweet Almond Oil/ Jojoba Oil - I use these two products purely as BODY moisturizers. They are great for helping "prevent" or as I like to say reduce the chances of stretch marks all while leaving your skin smooth and soft. Other oils that are great for use to help with DRY/ITCHY skin are : Olive oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Avocado Oil. Be sure to apply these oils daily to the following areas breasts, abdomen, thighs and butt as these are the areas prone to dry skin and stretch marks. I do NOT use these oils on my face, with the exception of coconut oil.
2. Coconut Oil - BEST STUFF EVER! Seriously, it is! I use it as my makeup remover, mainly eye makeup (WORKS WONDERS, even on waterproof makeup) and I also use to it as my face moisturizer!
To use as makeup remover : scoop a pea sized amount from jar into your hand and let melt, apply gently to one eye at a time, remove excess with a towel or cloth immediately.
To use as a FACE moisturizer : scoop a nickel sized amount into your hand, let melt, apply to dry areas or all over the face... if your face feels overly oily be sure to wipe off residue.
The benefits of coconut oil are endless but I thought I would share this awesome visual to spark your interest.
3. YesToBlueberries - I've used/tired A LOT of organic/natural lines that promise results that they just don't live up too... However this skin care line absolutely does! Plus it can be bought in targets and other stores now which makes it convenient and to top it off they are affordable. YesTo... has several different lines that are targeted towards every skin type WHICH ROCKS in my opinion! I personally use the YesToBlueberries line... from the body wash to the shampoo & conditioner and everything in between because these products aren't just kick ass in every way they are parben free and 98-99% all natural! What could be better! Don't believe it, go check it out yourself... just click the link above :)
