I've become a bit obsessed with my skin as of late :- /
Morning: Wash my face with cetaphil, use a anti-acne toner then I put on Healthy Skin Moisturizer by Neutrogina followed by anti-wrinkle eye cream by Roc
I rub my body down in cocobutter after
Night:Wash face with Clear Pore Cleanser by Neutrogina, use toner then I dab lightening cream on any dark spots (cause I like to pick at my face smmfh) I let that sink in while I lotion up then I use Patrica Welxler skin regenerating serum and then seal it in with Hope in a Jar by Philosophy then Roc eye cream
What do you ladies (and some of yall menz that actually care) use and is it really working out?

I don't use a special soap-Neutrogena. What I have found that is key for me is exfoliation. I use olive oil as a moisturizer now instead of creams which I was having bad luck with-tend to have very dry skin.
I also dry brush my skin now to get rid of dead cells before showering. This has really helped with 'fresher' looking skin for me but if skin is sensitive I don't recommend.
Minimal makeup-so hot here it just clogs pores.
Shea butter or Coconut oil for all over moisturizing. Oh and drinking plenty of water.

0 • Wack Feelings Nosign Cosign Ether GOAT LOL •I rub my baking soad with my dove soap and rub my face with it and leave it on for some time
After I wash it off I use Coconut Oil to keep my face from drying and from being too oily
It works for me
My mom does this but she also uses Apple cider vinegar with the coconut oil.
My mom put me on to that stuff cause she is a super nature head and health freak so she with the home remedy stuff.

0 • Wack Feelings Nosign Cosign Ether GOAT LOL •I start my day with one whole lemon squeezed into water and a homemade smoothie. What we eat has everything to do with beauty and skin.
Raspberries/Strawberries
Baby Spinach
1 Orange
Dates
Almonds
Today I did Mango instead of Berry.
Face:
Blueberries
Orange Juice
Honey
Olive Oil
Yogurt (Optional-gives it a bit of a more creamier consistency)
I mix these ingredients together and put it on like a mask.
Blueberries have the most antioxidants amongst fruits which is what we need. Leaves your skin feeling so smooth, better than any face mask you could purchase.
**Kiwis are at their prime at the end of winter/beginning of Spring, opt for those during their peak season.
Lightly exfoliate daily, microdermabrasion kit every other day.
Eye cream-Application is important. Not only rub it in but activate the cells by gently dabbing then patting the area around the eyes in a circular motion so it really gets worked in.
Biotherm Aqua Face-A light layer left on overnight is the most important being that our bodies repair themselves from the day's pollution, stress, sun etc. during sleep.
Sunscreen for face-Prior to going outside this should be every woman's go to regardless of ethnicity/complexion.
Body:
100% Pure Cocoa Butter or 50% shea and 50% cocoa
Olive oil-great for body, not for face as it will clog pores.
Feet:
Lemons-The acidity gets rid of any dead skin.
Vaseline-Put a generous amount on my feet, cover in saran wrap and leave on overnight. Just did this last night and my feet feel soft like baby's bottom.
Foot Scrub-I have a warm vanilla one currently but I would use Peppermint.
I keep it as simple as possible and play around with a lot of natural, edible ingredients.
Chef Ahki has amazing skin and she has a great point. "If you can't eat it, why would you put it on your body?" Everything gets absorbed into our system so the more natural, the safer and better.
I'll add on later...
