I do not wear much makeup unless its a special occasion or its one of those days i just feel like it (very few days!). I try to take care of my skin as well as I can and the best way i know how is to find products that work for me and stick to them. I tend to react to new products so as soon as I find something that works for me I am hooked!
From this picture I probably look like a product junkie (which I might secretly be!), but let me break it down and show you what I use and when I use it!
I have used a number of shower gels in the past, like Dove and Nivea but lately St Ives exfoliating body wash has been doing it for me! For a lazy exfoliator like me it is godsend as i don't have to try to remember when was the last time I did a proper exfoliation as this wash does it for me everyday!
Cetaphil is very moisturizing and is one of the few lotions that don't leave my skin looking ashy and dried out. Everyone needs sunscreen and who can say no to the natural Yes-to-Cucumbers SPF30 sunscreen??

For the face I have to start with the St Ives Apricot scrub! I have been using it for years and no other scrub has ever managed to come close to St Ives for me. As i said earlier I have really sensitive skin so I do not scrub everyday as its too harsh for me. I exfoliate twice a week and that is perfect. Daily I use the Cetaphil facial cleanser which is very gentle but does a very good job. I don't use toner everyday but when i do I swear by T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel! My daily moisturizer is the YestoCarrots nourishing cream with SPF15. Something new has just come into the mix however...
I was running out of my Cetaphil facial cleanser so I went to buy a new one. Unfortunately they didn't have it so I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and buy the Simple moisturizing facial wash! I had been eyeing it for a while now and a friend had told me it was pretty good. A lot of people say its good to adjust your skin regimen accordingly as the seasons change so i decided that I needed something like Simple for summer. When I saw they were selling the facial wash in a bonus pack with the Replenishing facial lotion for the price of one the Cheapo in me rejoiced and my decision was made simpler (get it get it??? ;) So i bought the two and i have to say so far so good I am loving them. The wash is gentle as they claim and the lotion is not heavy at all, it feels good. Score!!
