“Be good to your skin you’ll wear it everyday for the rest of your life”
Over the last couple of years the attention I give my skin has become a priority. I can honestly say that prior to that I didn’t really care.. eeek!! But with age comes changes in my face and skin. Now, I am not necessarily try to get my younger looking skin back but I am trying to prevent future damage and aging. Let’s be real and acknowledge we are never going to look 22 because we aren’t #sorryaboutit . But it is important to take care of your skin and yourself. So I have partnered with Pamela Metamorphosis to show you how easy it is to to make skin care a priority.
The first and most important component of any skin care routine is the products you use. Pamela Metamorphosis knows skin care and knows what works while keeping the products healthy and chemical free; especially for Colorado skin! Their ingredients are all free from toxins, parabens, synthetic colors, phthalates, triclosan, formaldehyde, toluene and proyleneglycol. To be honest I can not pronounce half of these words so I really don’t want them on my face! They have products to match any skin type (oily, combo, dry, sensitive, etc) and keep hold true to the idea that aging skin doesn’t need a complicated regime to be healthy.
LETS TALK ROUTINE
DAILY
Morning: A gentle cleanser to start your day and freshen your face. I’ve been using the Sensitive Skin Cleanser with Sea Kelp and loving it. It is gentle enough to be used everyday yet it really leave my skin feeling refreshed and vibrant. Following the cleanser is a great moisturizer. For those of us in Colorado it is so important to keep our skin hydrated and Pamela’s Green Tea Moisturizer is AMAZING for hydration and moisturizing. This is my favorite product. It is rich and thick but still light enough to be worn all day. It keeps my skin happy and my face feeling soft and clean.
Following a refreshing wash and great moisturizer it is time to apply your SPF. Every single day. Especially if you are blessed to live in a place with a lot of sun it is so important to wear SPF daily.
Evening: Before bed is the most important wash of the day. Cleansing off all the dirt and crime from the day allows your skin to breath and restore itself while you sleep; it is crucially important to your skin care routine. Again, I am using the Sensitive Skin Cleanser with Sea Kelp followed by a night time moisturizer with anti-aging elements.
TWO/THREE TIMES A WEEK
Morning or Evening: Replace your cleanser with an exfoliate to help clear out your pores and reduce blackheads and breakouts. I typically do this in the evening as I feel like my face is dirtier after a long day. A good exfoliater like the Papaya Scrub offers your face a chance to de-grime and cleaning your pores out allows your moisturizer and anti-aging serums to really soak into your skin. The Papaya Scrub is one of my favorite products from Pamela Metamorphosis.
AS NEEDED
Post Work Out:Fresh Facial Cleansing Wipes. Easy to pack and great for your skin. Immediately following your favorite yoga or barre class wipe your face free from the sweat and debris. I have noticed a significant decrease in break-outs when I wipe my face after a workout. Plus the cool your skin and refresh your face so you can get back to you day… oh and they smell lovely!
Tired Nights: Okay, so as committed as I am to a healthy skin care routine there are nights when I am exhausted and the thought is washing my face is too much… grab a Fresh Facial Cleansing Wipe. You get that daily dirt off in a few quick swipes.
Toner: Some use toner daily or twice daily. For me I use it before bed to just neutralize the pH and remove any access grime. While I have not tried Pamelas toner I am confident this Everyday Toner would be amazing. I mean all the rest of their products are great.
Creating and sticking to a skin care routine that works for your is important. And the most important aspect, truly, is the products that you are using. Make sure they are healthy and non-toxic. Your skin deserves the very best.
