Awesome Skincare Products

Because the things that I put on my skin are going to end up in my bloodstream, I try to be aware of the ingredients in my skincare routine. One item that I always have on hand is Luxe Lotion by Ladybug Jane. It is a great facial moisturizer and is also available in larger quantities to use as an all over body lotion as well. It makes my skin feel super soft and it always absorbs quickly.

NOW Foods Organic Essential Oils Tea Tree -- 1 fl oz

Another thing that I try to always have is NOW Foods Organic Tea Tree Oil. Whenever I feel acne starting to flare up, I dab a bit of this on the spot in the morning before my moisturizer. It dries it right up. It is just important to remember that getting it too close to more sensitive skin around your eyes, corners of your nose, and mouth will result in too much drying. 


Wedderspoon Organic 100% Raw Premium Manuka Honey KFactor 16+ - 17.6 Ounces

I recently became obsessed with raw manuka honey. This one is non-GMO, which is always a plus. I have been trying different brands, but I always have it around. I dab a bit onto acne, bug bites, or really anything undesirable on my skin before bed. Of course, it is important not to overdo it or else your pillow gets gross. This always makes a considerable difference by the next morning. It is also great to add to tea or recipes that might normally call for sugar. 

Stay tuned for more products!
