OK, I am one of those not blessed with resistant skin, and sometime in January, I had a major breakout testing market samples (yes, part of my job). It's good that I have Rosehip seed oil to the rescue!!!
I happen to take a photo of my face when I had a major breakout. While talking to my sister, who lives miles away, she asked if I have a photo after using rosehip seed oil as I told her how good it is. After seeing the before and after (8 days) photos, she encouraged me to post a photo here. :-) I'm a bit shy so the photo is cropped a lot, but you'll definitely see the difference.
What is my skincare routine:
1. Wash with a cream-based cleanser.
2. Tone with rose hydrosol - not the commercial "rose water" that is basically water, emulsifier, and rose-type perfume (not even an essential oil). This will soon be available in our shop and I will update this blog with the link. And I probably have to write something about this in the future.
We know you’d agree with us when we say that day creams cost a lot of money. But more than the cost, it’s more concerning how a small tube or bottle of face cream is packed with so much chemicals. Chemicals that are harmful to our health and the environment.
So if you made a switch to using organic and all-natural day creams, then congratulations. But if you find that store bought organic and/or natural face creams are still expensive, then maybe you could try making your own.
The terms ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ aren’t just for food anymore. The use of natural and organic ingredients for cosmetic products have been continuously rising. A lot of cosmetic companies add natural and organic to their product labels. But how do we know if these products are what they say they are? And how do we know how much of these products are organic and natural?
