First Test

My first challenge will be to get my face glowing. Now that I'm living at the beach, I want to be sure I don't get "leather" face. I love nice tanned skin, but I don't like what the sun does to your skin.

So I have been scouring the web looking at ways to enhance & improve my daily beauty routine. I will start a 4 step processes:

1. Cleansing my face. I am dry in the winter and oily in the summer and sometimes both. As I hate to spend tons of $$$ on things that may not work I am keeping my purchase to items I can find locally. So starting Monday, I will use Purpose for my daily face wash. It is good for all face types and gets high marks for taking off makeup and dirt. In my research, I read that I should only wash my face at night (something I don't do right now - yeah, I know). This means I have to change my whole routine. I like a shower in the morning, it wakes me up gets me going, but I am changing that habit and start taking them at night. So in the morning all I need to do is splash my face with lukewarm water and apply my makeup as normal.

2. Weekly I will exfoliate. Researching different things I can across one of my favorite products - Epsom Salt. Which is really not a salt at all. I love this stuff! It is a staple in my bath. Reading up on this miracle product I found you can use it as a body/facial scrub.

3. Moisturizer is something most people with oily skin don't think to do but I love it. I especially like to use it before I put on my make up, so this will be a change when I don't use it in the morning. I found a great product that combines moisturizer and a sunblock in one, Eucerine. This will keep my face from burning and keep me from that leather face I am trying to avoid.

4. Drink more h2o. I don't drink enough of it and every single thing I have read about glowing/healthy skin says you have to hydrate.

Tomorrow starts the challenge and I can't wait to see the results!
