Organic face



I've never been one for crazy organic everything but when it comes to my skin I am very careful about what goes on it.  The other day I was in Whole Foods before going into work because I wanted to pick up some Alkaline water and also an all natural energy drink !!  In Green Hills TN where I work there is an adorable little outdoor shopping area and it's all brick lined and full of cute little shops and that is where Whole Foods is located! Well, as I was coming out of the store I noticed a WHOLE BODY right across the street and I had some time and so I went in only to find myself IN LOVE!!!!  They have all organic and natural everything for your body, shampoo, conditioner, face products, makeup, deodorant, scrubs, vitamins, lip conditioners ETC> You name it, they had it!  I was of course drawn to the skin stuff and because I've been doing intensive treatments to my facial skin for the past 4 weeks I wanted something with a Vitamin C and other natural ingredients to really boost my healing process and that would also be extra gentle, something lightweight and small because I didn't want to spend too much, I've been sticking to a budget! (lol)
 l picked up this face cream and I cannot tell you how amazing they are.  They smell so delicious and my skin feels much more radiant, silky and hydrated.

Pricing is extremely reasonable ...you can look them up online if you're interested at ANDALOU.COM !! 
I just wanted to share because keeping a good thing to yourself is very selfish! Haha

H2O

     This morning I am starting to feel so much better from my detox, I've done a series of 4 chemical peels using salicylic acid 20% and Lactic Acid 40% over the course of 2 1/2 weeks which is the intensive start and I will continue every 3-4 weeks until my results are where I want them! 
     I am a COMPLETE do-it-yourself-er and I have payed close attention to my in office peels along with little knowledge in cosmetology school and I choose to purchase the product and do them at home, that will NOT work for everyone ! 

    Above is a photo of the brands I have used and I love both.  So when you are doing skin detox and chemical peels ETC you have GOT to drink LOTS AND LOTS of H20!!!  Even the most beautiful of skin would be great to do a light chemical peel every few months because usually the top layer of everyone's face is DEAD SKIN CELLS!  There is a type of natural glue like substance that holds those dead skin cells to your epidermis and the chemical peels work to loosen the glue like substance allowing the dead skin to shed off, revealing baby smooth skin! 
    The main focus is to assure you that if you are not drinking enough water every day I can ASSURE you that your skin is dehydrated and you will begin to see pre-mature signs of aging, wrinkles, flakes and an over all "dead" look.  I just wanted to encourage you guys to really take care of yourself and the skin you live in.  DRINK UP !!! And HAPPY 2016!

{Post note: Do NOT do chemical peels at home if you have no training on how they are performed. }
