My Skin Routine

Anyone who knows me well, knows I have always been a products junkie!!!  I love wondering around stores, learning the new skin care products, then looking them up and seeing the reviews.  I love blogs all about skin care products.  I would read forever about every new and old product that people raved about....and most times I would try it!

After my last products splurge, I wondered....what am I doing?   I have been using essential oils for not only my families health, but also as my daily skin routine!  Why did I just purchase all of those things when I know I won't use them????

It all started when I ran out of my vitamin C serum.  I decided to use what I had, my lemon oil.  This is the purest sense of vitamin C.  I put a drop mixed with FCO....I was hooked!  After researching more, I started making up my own routine and my own skin recipes that work for me!  I have dry to normal skin.  I wanted to hydrate, even my skin tone, tighten my skin and prevent fine lines.

Another thing people know about me, is I love a good selfie! ha!!  As my dad said to me today, I've been taking selfies way before they were a thing! ha!  But my selfies now, are usually checked, filtered, hair good, good lighting etc!

I'm going to post a selfie on this post, showing me tonight....Sunday night.....after I cleaned my face then did my nightly routine with my oils.  The natural benefits of the oils, I think, are better than any expensive creams I have ever bought (and trust me, I have bought way too many!).  The oils increase circulation, and each oil has unique compound to address different concerns you might have. These are my oils I use daily.

Every night might vary a little, but I usually add a drop of each of these to a tbs of FCO.

Geranium- Tissue regeneration, dry skin- I always dilute
Frankincense- Wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, cellular health- I always dilute
Immortelle- Protect and nourish the skin while reducing inflammation, smooths skin, supports skin at the cellular level- I dilute
Myrrh- Fine Lines, Eczema- I dilute and use neat-If I use neat, I put directly on my laugh lines and forehead lines
Lemon- Helps purify skin tone- you can use neat on sun spots, or dilute
Helichrysum- Fades fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and acne scars- you can use neat or dilute
Correct X- Ointment made of Frankincense, Helichrysum, Melaleuca, Cedarwoood and Lavender.  Sloths skin irritations, multi purpose ointment helps soothe skin and enhance the natural process of skin returning to healthy state.  I use as my eye cream, I'm obsessed with it!

I forgot to include these two oils in the picture, I rotate these in my routine as well!

Lavender- Soothes skin irritations, reduces skin imperfections- I always dilute
Melaleuca- Spot treat any blemishes- I use neat on any blemishes



Here is my selfie after my night time routine....no filter, no adjusting light....just a raw image of me and my oils before bed! ha!  I might need a little more for my darkness under my eyes!! OPPS!  Not my favorite picture of me, but it's real.  I love the feeling of my skin and the smell after I my routine!

Don't forget, there is more than just oils that contribute to your skin!  Genes, sleep, eating well, vitamins.  A lot starts from the inside out.  I take vitamins every morning, drink a water bottle of water with a drop of lemon oil and at night I drink hot water with a drop of ginger oil and lemon oil.
