I was a very lucky teen because I never had to worry about acne. Of course, I would have the breakout here and there, but overall, I didn't have problems with it. This, I believe, is because I swam my entire life. The clorine probably killed off any and all bacteria that would have been on my face. This also made my skin extremely dry, but I will take dry skin over acne any day. Well the day came, when I was no longer swimming. Which changed my skin dramatically. I was starting to have more and more breakouts which I had no knowledge of how to fix. So I began to wash my face. I didn't even know what products to use or what did what. As I have gotten older, I have taken an interest in learning about makeup and skin products. I want to know what I am using or ingredients in a product before I spend money on it. Taking care of my skin was a resolution I had last year and below I have included some products I will be continuing to use in to 2017. Thanks to my beautiful friend Erin, she got me hooked (which has now gotten my whole family hooked) on to Lush products. If you don't know about Lush, well you need to go Google them right now. They are beautiful products that are all organic. So much so that you can eat everything in the store! (not sure you really want to.) My first must have item is the Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub. This stuff is NO joke! You will feel every single layer of your face coming off when you exfoliate with this. I try to only use this once every other week since it is so intense. Your skin will be thanking you after! Another life changing Lush product is the Rose Shower Gel. This is a basic shower gel except for the scent. It is a light rose smell that you get wiffs of throughout the day without being too overpowering. Whenever I use this, I always feel like I am having a day at the spa. I have been a believer and lover of GlamGlow since the first time I used one of the travel masks. I have their exfoliator and deep clean masks which are both must haves. But I got the daily facial cleanser in a package when I bought something else from them. I am not sure how much this mask actually does to change my skin, but HOLY MOLY! My skin feels SO soft after. It is seriously unbelievable. If I use the Lush Ocean Salt scrub and then use the cleanser after. I feel like I have been at a luxury spa all day. Now I get picked on all the time for this one, but I use anti-wrinkle creams at night. I read a study that women who live in urban areas are more likely to wrinkling at a younger age than those who don't. This of course scared me beyond belief. Even if this doesn't actually stop wrinkles, I wake up with skin that is hydrated and looks radiant. Let me know your favorite beauty products of 2016 so I can try them in 2017!!
