Skincare Sunday: Dec 1st

By -
     As mentioned in a previous blog I'm going to talk about Skincare every Sunday! I do get a lot of complements on my skin. It's fairly clear. So what do I do to keep it that way? I wish I could say I don't sleep in my makeup but I am guilty at times.  At least after some cocktails and a night out I am;) I just try to clean my skin we'll daily and make up for the days I forget with extra cleaning.

     With the holidays coming up we all need a quick and easy way to remove makeup. No one wants to go to bed with a smoky eye and wake up looking like a raccoon. And trust me, I have been there and scared my family in the process. Well the best way to remove eye makeup especially mascara is with a good facial wipe. I've tried most brands and like the Simple Skincare best of all. Their wipes are very wet so you don't need a lot of rubbing to remove mascara. Personally I like their "cleansing" and "radiance" wipes best. Also I also use these wipes when I'm too tired to go thru all my steps of cleaning. At least if I remove most the dirt and makeup I feel better.

     So what are my steps of cleaning my face? I mean on those days I actually have the time. I use a facial wipe first to rub off my eye makeup. Even if I don't have much on I usually have mascara and these make it easier. Then I wash my face with a moisturizing facial wash. Right now that is Simple Skincare Moisturizing face wash. I switch between that and Olay Fresh Effects Bead me up face scrub. Why two? Well the Olay is a scrub and in the winter I get very dry skin. This helps peel off the dry skin without it being harsh. Then I just splash my face with cold water and pay dry. And I'm clean and fabolous.

 Skincare tip of the week:
For dry lips I make a scrub out of 2 tablespoons of sugar and olive oil. Just add enough to make it the consistency that you would like. I like mine gritty! Just mix up your scrub and rub on lips gently for a minute and rinse off. You can also use this mixture on ur hands or cuticles for dry skin.

Got a product you want to share? Just comment below and I will respond promptly. Thank you!

Tomorrow I will be talking about Makeup in my Makeup Monday blog. Hope you will stop in.

Disclaimer: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Old Spice.  All opinions are 100% mine. Your son growing up is hard for most Moms to accept. We still see our sons as the little boy, playing with Hot Wheels and Legos on the living room floor. So when our boys start to show signs of growing up, most Moms wanna cry. We want them to remain little forever. Dads on the other hand are excited for their sons to grow up. They have another man in the house. This idea is the story behind Old Spices new promo "DadSong". A cute tale of how Dad feels about his son growing up. If you have not seen it, Check it out at:  http://youtu.be/cKhqUOncefY I can't believe that little boy in the middle is now 15 and 6ft tall. Now as most of you know I'm the mother of a teenage boy. When he started getting older I too wanted to keep him a baby forever. But POOF it seem like overnight he woke up with facial hair and body odor. SMELL

I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour for Latina Mom Bloggers on behalf of ZYRTEC® ALLERGY FACE® and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Some of you may know that I suffer from allergies, in the Fall and Spring. Lucky me I get too look like Rudolph the red nose reindeer all year. But for those who dont know its a pain to deal with. Not only do allergies effect how I feel but also how I look.Yes a double whammy.  Taking my ZYRTEC® helps with the symptoms. But I may still end up with red eyes, puffiness, and a red nose. Or as its known to me as ALLERGY FACE®. So whats a girl to do??? No one wants to hear "Are You Ok?" all day long. Especially at work or at school. For me doing both, I come into contact with hundreds of people in a day. And I want to look my best. ZYRTEC® joined with Celebrity make-up artist Jackie Gomez to help women like me. By find looks tha
