I think it’s very important to know what you’re putting in and on your body. I’ll admit that sometimes I take this to the extreme, but more often than not, I just try to keep it real. Overall, I believe in balance and I’m no fool. I fully understand that there are certain things out of my control. However, my beauty routine is not one of them.
Let’s get real, I use a lot of products. I like having options, so sue me. I think it’s good to have an array of products in your arsenal for when you’re skin is extra dry or randomly breaking out. I’m always prepared, like a boy scout.
Obviously, I love Korres. When you find a winner, you’ve got to stick with it.
The Milk Proteins Cleanser is amazing for more than one reason. It’s super gentle yet effective and I love that it’s a foaming cleanser. I don’t know about you, but I like to tell that my cleanser is “working”. Best of all, it doubles as a makeup remover. My laziness adores this cleanser.
I’ve been using the Quercetin & Oak line for over a year and I love it. It’s amazing for dry skin and works wonders with fine lines. The eye cream definitely lessens under eye circles. Let the record state that I do not have “dry skin”. I have 100% combination skin and this is awesome.
Josie Maran rocks my world. Seriously. I adore this SPF moisturizer. It doesn’t make my skin greasy but instead an awesome dewy look. Also, it’s SPF 40 so we’re not messing around and it smells good too!
Argan Oil is a necessity in any beauty regimen. I use this at night. You can get this almost anywhere now.
I don’t have acne but my face does break out occasionally and I love acnevir because it contains sulfur which might not smell great but does it’s job on the asap. They also sell this at select Bed, Bath & Beyond stores (I don’t know if we’ll have time).
Does anyone have any questions, comments or concerns?
I’ve been thinking about trying Josie Maran spf 40+ for a while, but wasn’t sure if it would be too greasy – but maybe I’ll take the plunge now. Also, can I just say that I really appreciated your reference to Frank the Tank. Love it.
Nice! I want to try that milk protein cleanser. Thx for tip. Xo
I’ve been looking for a new moisturizer with SPF (Asians don’t mess), so thanks for the recommendation! Gettin’ on it.
im so glad you posted this – my new goal in life (after i get the eating healhty and working out down) is to have a fab skin routine! And.. since your skin is pretty flawless, I’ll be buying these asap! xo.

Ok, first – Why am I JUST now finding out about your kick-ass blog? Amazing. New big fan, for sure.
Second? Also a natural beauty buff, and haven’t tried any of these products, but can’t wait to pick up that SPF and acnevir to give ’em a go.
Lastly, and most importantly, I wanted to make sure that your perfectly placed “Old School” reference did not go unnoticed. Well played, my friend. 🙂
Once I make the switch I am ordering every single one of these things!! 🙂
Love the Old School comment. Todd and I throw that one around freely.
Great post. Very helpful for me! xoxo
I need to try that Acnevir ASAP! Sounds like a winner winner chicken dinner.
Just one more thing. You. Are. Awesome. that’s all.

Oooh great tips…I needed some suggestions on eye cream! Thank you!
Haha, well played on the Old School comment.
I need to try that Acnevir…and I’m super intrigued by the Korres night cream. I have the brightening night cream right now and as someone who has scent-triggered migraines the smell is a little much sometimes so I can’t use it every night. How’s the scent on this one?
Ha, “Like a boy scout” 🙂
I love this! I have a bit of a weak spot for beauty products. Thanks for sharing!

I have been shopping around trying to find a good face cream (my smile lines around my eyes make me look about 40.. ha) and I keep coming back to this post of yours. Today I am buying your recs! Woo woo!
Natural beauty products are so important.
Check out my post on why I switched, here: http://oneproductatatime.com/2013/01/14/product-truth/
I think you will find it interesting because you use so many products like I do.
I would love to know your thoughts!
