Today I'm talking about skin care. It's easy to forget the skin underneath your makeup because well makeup can be used to conceal imperfections. However, makeup can make these imperfections worst with time or even create imperfections.
Now I won't lie, I forget to wash my makeup off sometimes. It happens, but when I do remember these are my favorite products to use for my skin care routine.
Noxzema is my go to for removing my makeup. This stuff is absolutely amazing at getting it all off from waterproof mascara to stubborn eyeliner. It all just washes off! The other thing that I love about Noxzema is how refreshing my skin feels after using it. Now normally I use the original one but during traveling back home to Virginia all I could find was the Classic Clean Moisturizing Cleansing Cream. If you have ever used Noxzema before you know that it can make your skin feel dry, although this one is "moisturizing" my skin still feels dry. So obviously after washing my face I go to moisturizing. 
When it comes to my moisturizer I use a small amount of OGX coconut milk body lotion. This body lotion is very nourishing and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or oily.While shopping I came across the OGX hydrating oil body mist and it is great! I love the fragrance of it and it helps to moisturize your skin without being heavy. I would recommend the oil body mist for Summer.
Occasionally I like to exfoliate in the morning. When I do I go for Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Detoxifying Scrub . I do not use facial scrubs every morning because I find that over washing my face with different products can dry out my skin. Makeup remover wipes do not guarantee that ALL of your makeup comes off, some makeup can be left behind in your pores. Exfoliating my skin helps to remove any makeup that may still be in my pores.
I mentioned before that I forget to wash my makeup off sometimes because of that I like to use facial masks every couple of days to give my skin some extra attention. The newest mask I have been trying and fell in love with is the Studio 35 Cucumber Peel Off Mask. Not only is it weirdly satisfying to peel off the mask ( judge me if you want ), it also leaves my skin soft.
I love makeup as much as the next girl but it is extremely important to take care of the skin underneath it. If you every wonder why a lot of makeup artists/beauty gurus' makeup come out so well, majority of that comes from skill and having a healthy canvas.
