Skin Care Must-Haves by elisabethzm featuring face toners
Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I have gathered up some of what I believe are things that are or should be in your skin care bag. I used to be carefree and not really take care of my face until a couple of years ago when I started to see that my skin wasn't the same. That's when I really started researching and figuring out what was perfect for my skin concerns.
I have put together seven basic products that I believe anyone should have. Let it be if you're big on skin care or just getting started. These will help you out any day of the week without a doubt. Lets give this list a start:
1. Cotton Rounds: It doesn't matter what brand these are a basic, no matter what. These rounds help you remove that pesky mascara, remove make up and even apply some skin care product. I have bunches of these because you can never have enough. Just make sure you get cotton ones so they don't irritate your skin.
2. Simple Cleansing Wipes: I received these cleansing wipes for free in VoxBox from Influenster and they saved me. These are perfect for those days when you're too tired or just got home too late and still have to clean your face. Just pop them in your nightstand drawer and before you go to bed take off anything that might be on your face. Plus, they are super sensitive on your face!
3. Erno Laszlo Hydra Therapy Cleansing Oil: I also received a Erno Laszlo product as a courtesy to try out from Influenster and loved it. That's why it is on this list. I loved the cleansing oil. An oil cleans out impurities that are oil based and really gets in there. Don't worry if you have oily prone skin, it will not make your face oily, on the contrary, it will smooth it out and keep it even more clean and hydrated. You can read more about the Erno Laszlo products on my last post.
4. Sheet Masks: Sheet mask have become a craze and for obvious reasons. They are awesome! There are thousands of different ones to chose from and they care to individual skin concerns. These are perfect for those days when you just want to lay back and relax. Not only can you relax but you can give your skin exactly what it need with very little effort.
5. Toner: Remember that when you clean or exfoliate your face you're stripping skin and that can be irritating. Toner helps balance that out and brings back your skins pH levels so it doesn't dry out. Just try and use toners with no alcohol so it will not irritate your skin more or make it dry out.
6. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: This is a must, specially if you want any white heads or pimples to disappear over night. This lotion comes with a cotton swab like applicator that helps you dab the lotion on any blemishes. Just don't shake the solution, the pink solution that settles on the bottom should stay that way. You will fall in love with this!
7. Face Mist: Ever feel like your face needs a refreshment? This is your solution, some call them face mists others call them face refreshers but they all do the same thing. It's the perfect pick me up for your face. If you feel like your skin looks a little dull or dry just spray some mist over it and you will see that your skin will start glowing again. There are hundreds of these on the market so you will not have any trouble finding one.
There you have it everyone, my small list of skin care products that I believe anyone should have. Just remember to chose products that work for you and for your skin. It may take some time to find the right one because we all have different needs. Whenever you do find your perfect match, you will be thrilled and will see what wonders these products can do to your skin. See you in the next post!
