Why I'm in love with you- Winter Body Care

Winter's coming up!

It's getting colder and colder!

BRRR!

We start to bring out the old sweaters, those fuzzy slippers, the socks, and put away those shorts and flip flops. Well, it's also time to switch to something more hydrating so you don't get dry skin this winter.

BODY CARE:

-body wash/bar soap

-lotion

-body scrubs

-hand cream

-foot cream

My picks!:

I HAVE to say that I do bathe with a bar soap. And not just any bar soap. DOVE!

It moisturizes me so WELL! And it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or itchy either(: A different edition, that does about the same thing, is the Nutrium Moisture Body Wash collections.

I love it! And I barely go a shower without it. On some occasions, I use some other things too:

For Dry Skin:

Aveeno Positively Nourishing Hydrating Body Wash

It leaves my skin really soft, and no itching, no dryness..nothing! It smells SOOO amazing too!

And it's got some amazing lotions from the same collection too!

For extremely dry and itchy skin:

Eucerin Calming Body Wash Shower Oil

I've used it during the summers, when my legs and arms were so itchy! I went to the doctor, and she recommended this and the matching Calming Creme Lotion. It helped me wonders!

For Normal skin that needs a little bit of....GLOW:

Rainbath Deep Moisture Body Wash

I used this last winter and it was really good! I felt like my skin was sooo soft and smooth. However, I used this in summer to relieve my itchy legs and arms, but it wouldn't work. So, if you have normal skin that just needs a little bit more GLOW or refreshing, then this one's for you.

Which ones are always with me: Dove Bar Soap, Aveeno, and Eucerin Calming Body Wash Shower Gel

Lotions:

For Dry/Sensitive Skin (or any kind really!):

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

This is some REALLY good stuff. It leaves my skin so baby touchable. It moisturizes very well...there's so much to say! But the main point, is that it works for ANYONE. Teens, middle age, seniors..anyone! It'll moisturize and keep your skin soft and smooth!

For relaxing:

Aveeno Positively Nourishing Soothing 24 Hour Body Moisturizer

This is the match to the Aveeno Body Wash mentioned above. This smells sooo good! Amazingly good! It'll wake up your senses and give you the smell of those heavenly flowers!

For Repairing Skin/Itchy, Dry Skin:

Eucerin Calming Creme

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this product. It has oatmeal and other good super power moisturizes in it, so it moisturzies and fixes your skin in a wink!

What's always with me: Eucerin Calming Creme and Cetaphil Moisturizer

And SCRUBS:

Body Scrubs are the ones that get help get rid of those dead skin cells faster, so it relives more glowing and healthier skin. And just like you exfolaite with scrubs on your face, you need to do that to your body too.

Neutogena Sugar Scrub Body Exfoliater

This is the one that I will always use! I love ittt! Every time I use it, and run out of the shower, my skin feels so good...like a baby's butt! ha ha ha! I lovee it!

Dead Sea Relaxing Body Scrub

This one is also a main favorite! It does a really good job, however I use the Neutrogena one more often then I use this one! But I love this a lot too, it relaxes you a lot, and it feels like your skin is yelling "FINALLY!" hahahah!

What's always with me: Neutrogena Sugar Scrub

Hand Cream: (just one!)

Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream

This one like never comes off! It's non greasy, pretty lightweight and it even lasts during hand washing! I will, probably , never ever use another hand cream!

Foot Cream (just one!):

Holiday Shea It Isn't so Shea Butter Foot Cream (Bath and Body Works)

I love this stuff! And yes the picture is the one of the holiday edition. And I'm about 99.8% sure that the regular one and this one are exactly alike! Give it about a week. Last year, I believe, my feet were dry and almost cracked. So I went to Bath and Body Works, I got this stuff, and I was pretty sure it wasn't gonna work. I took my shower, got in my pj's, rubbed this all over my feet and went to sleep. The next day...WALA! Soft feet! You HAVE to try this!

Wow! This is pretty much...

things that I can't live without!

Whew! haha

St. Ives Gentle Apricot Scrub, St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser and Eucerin Calming Lotion Reviews

..

I tried out 3 products and I'm gonna go ahead and tell you if they WORKED for me or not.

My skin type: Sensitive and dry :(

My face right now has one pimple, and rest of it is pretty clear.

So, I tried out the St. Ives Gentle Apricot Scrub because I heard that it works wonders, but it DID NOT work for me :/

When I used it, NO JOKE, but INSTANTLY I had acne and some breakouts.

So BEWARE! haha

But I mean there are SO MANY people that it DID work for, so if you wanna try it do a PATCH TEST.

A patch test is pretty much when you take a small area of your face, let's say for example your chin, use the product on that area. Now, if you breakout, then you obviously know it's not gonna work for you. If nothing happens so far, then...I guess you could try it out!

St. Ives is an AMAZING brand! I use their body polishes EVERY DAY! And I love their lotion (though I use Jergens). But I guess this one was an OUCH for me. Oh well :/ But if you were thinking of giving this a try, then do the patch test first. It might work for you.

So recommended: Maybe. Depending on the skin type.

Next up, is St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser:

This one worked! For me! I used it on my AM routine (I always do AM when I'm testing things out, so I actually have some time to fix it before tomorrow). It worked pretty well! It didn't do miracles though, but it did leave my skin soft and smooth.

Recommended: Yes

But I just wanna say, this DOES NOT mean that I'm ditching my flour-yogurt cleanser! Haha, I'll never do that! But this is my backup. I always have a backup for homemade things, so let's say I'm on the go, I'm gonna use this. But when I'm home and I have my flour cleanser with me, then that's it. That's my #1 cleanser. But this Green Tea Cleanser is my runnerup/backup.

My Third Review is about the Eucerin Claming Creme Daily Moisturizer. My skin was itching all the time (my arms) in the summer, and I probably used every single lotion that said "MOISTURIZER". Bad choice, I know.

But Eucerin is WONDERFUL.

After every shower you just slather that stuff on, but of course you have to do it everyday, and for some time, do give you wonders.

You can also use the bodywash and the immediate relief lotion if you have extreme itching.

Ah, how I love Eucerin! It's my repair doctor, and when I mess up, it gets me back on the track!

I Lovee! Eucerin!

Ha ha ha ha

Recommended: DEFINITELY

So those are my reviews, but I will tell you, everyone's skin is different, and be sure to do the "little spot on my face" test to make sure that you wont break out or etc.

Byebye(:

Green Tea and Apricots on your face love :D

and P.S. is COLOR not working or what?

Oh and Don't forget to subsribee!

Here's another amazing facial cleanser! Andd Backk!

Hi guys!

So long time no blog?

Well guys. School's started, tests are cramming in.

Back to.

Anywyas. Sorry *anwaysy*

NO!

It's ANYWAYS

So put your hand up if you HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. YOU HAVE ACNE, BLEMISHES, BREAKOUTS...And all that crazy stuff.

So if you DID put your hand up, boy do I have some news for you!

And if you DIDN'T, Well Go ahead and listen to H*Wood, Could it Be You. It's an amazinggg song!

Allright, so I have used the following brands:

-St. Ives

-Olay

-Neutrogena

-Clean And Clear

And guess what?

I'm so sick! Of just throwing my money for things that don't even work! (Well, for me anyways!)

So, I got a little bit of acne, blemishes and all that crazy stuff, and I need REPAIR DOCTOR to get in the house!

And guess who it is?

Eucerin.

That stuff is like my Repair Doctor. It'll fix ANYTHING! (well to me)

And NOOO! I'm telling you about Eucerin, so simply because I LOVE it! No other reason why.

So, the moisturizer I use right now, is, PLUS INTENSIVE REPAIR ENRICHED LOTION By Eucerin. It's Fragrance Free, so it probably won't irritate skin or clog pores. And it keeps moisturizing for 24 DANG HOURS! And trust me, it ain't go grease! It's smooth and lovable.

The drawback?

It leaves your skin looking really oily. But you can put some pressed powder or talcum powder to make it looking normal. And in the nighttime, just leave it on like that.

So, now! For the FACIAL CLEANSER! (It's homemade)

This is what you'll need:

-Flour

-Milk (optional)

-PLAIN yogurt

-a pinch of turmeric (optional)

-lemon juice

-1 or 2 grapes

First, WHY did I choose these ingredients!?!

Flour: This babe exfloiates GOOD.

Milk: Milk has laeatic acid and AHA, which are REALLY good for your skin. It leaves your skin really refreshed too!

PLAIN yogurt: Just like the milk, it has leatic acid and AHA in them. AHA are the babes that take away those dead skin cells faster so it reveals the radiant new skin cells beneath. Be sure to use PLAIN (all natural) yogurt....but I seriously have NO IDEA what will happen if you use some kind of flavor.

A pinch of turmeric: Turmeric is amazingg! It has antixodiants, and it leaves your skin with a tingly glow!

Lemon Juice: Lemon Juice has AHA and BHA which are the ones that exfloiate to get those dead skin cells out faster (thus revealing glowing skin)

1 or 2 grapes: HAHAH! This one is funny! Well guys, truth be told, GRAPES are GOOD for your SKIN. Their good for you and so what I did was just split open a grape and sprinkle the juice in them. You don't need to much. And you know what they say? For a good scrub, just split some grapes, message them on your face, and it gives you healthy skin. Though...I've never tried that....

So this is my facial cleanser now! So you wanna mix these ingredients LIKE THIS!:

-pour some flour in a container (which is gonna be your cleanser)

-now the plain yogurt

-pour some milk into it

-add the pinch of turmeric

-sprinkle the lemon juice

-and for fun? Why not? add in the grape JUICE. Throw away (OR EAT!) the peels.

And the container that you mixed it in, you can refrigerate it or not. Mine's is right by the sink...

And now what?

-Splash some warm water (NOT HOT) to your face.

-Then take the mix into your fingers in round circles.

-When you think you're done, splash some WARM water to rinse it ALL off. And take a bit of cool water and splash it.

-Now when you're drying off, it doesn't necessarily mean your face is completely dry. Dry to the point where it's still moist but not completely wet or not completely dry.

-Now smear on the moisturizer.

-If it's day time, then you MUST smear on the sunscreen. Did you now that sunscreen is probably your best bet for anti-aging!? YEAH. A friend told me that :D And I'm pretty sure it's true. That's probably why all the dermatologists are telling you to slather on the sunscreen. ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN. Doesn't matter if it's rainy, cloudy or snowing. DO IT! And if your on for a long drive, and your like "Oh I'll be in the car. No need for the sunscreen." YOU'RE WRONGG! (HA HA HA look at me shouting at you to use sunscreen)

But yeah, the UV rays sneak in through those windows too!

Bottom Line: Use sunscreen no matter what

And WALA your done!

Me a teen! But I don't use makeup. Well, except lip balm? But personally, I think that even if you do or don't use makeup, it's important to keep your skin healthy!

I think that homemade natural ingredients are the best for your skin, and use a supple moisturizer and sunscreen. Steam your face once a week (or twice) and don't forget to exfoliate also one or twice a week. It keeps your skin PURRTTY!(:

And don't just stop at the chin! Use this routine on your neck too! Your neck is a gorgeous extension to your face :D

I hope you guys try this and tell me what your results are!

Bye guys! Hope you have an amazing dayy! Smile and laugh always, the world needs smiles and a simple dot dot curve can brighten anyone's day!

Have a fantastic day everyone!
