Product Love

Ok so here is my first product post, thought I would take advantage of my napping babe. I will be totally honest, growing up I hardly ever used a soap on my face. Ehhhhk I know sounds gross right? But every type of face wash I used did nothing but dry my skin out. I went through most of the hyped up brands, Nutrogena, Clearasil, and Clean and Clear to name a few. I did not care for any of them and just decided that I would stick with plain old H2O and facial toner. For whatever reason I hardly ever broke out. Of course the more I began wearing makeup the more I knew that I needed to actually cleanse my skin. On my path to a more organic and clean way of life I decided to try some natural facial products. Why was my skin so dry after all those washes? Because the crappy chemicals in them stripped my skin of all that’s holy! I have tried Aveeno brand washes, and the Burts Bees…but I have to say that right now this brand is winning the battle for a favorite product. It is called Nourish Organic as you can plainly see. A pinterest stumble upon, I researched their website and read the ingredients. NO signs of any type of chemical/toxin/crappy crap. As luck would have it they were having a great promo so I took advantage. I am Italian and have very combination skin. Dry in the winter and oily every other season. I wanted a cleanser that would not add to either. I decided to go with the Ultra Hydrating Organic Facial Line. It came with everything you see in the top left photo. Face cleanser, Serum, Cream and Lotion. I am still in trial mode as this is the first time using it and I still have some left. The cleanser is lovely but comes out quick! You do not need a lot so you have to be careful how you squeeze the bottle. I will admit that right after I wash my face it feels a little tight…but after a good dry pat I apply a tiny bit of the serum followed by the face cream and my face feels super hydrated and refreshed. (FYI that is the night time ritual) During the day I use the face lotion. Please visit their websitehttp://nourishorganic.com to read up on the difference in ingredients. Im sure there are other products out there, and I may order a new set after I finish these to see if one is better than the other. But so far these have been wonderful.

The deodorant I actually bought for my husband. I have been using Toms of Maine for years. Aluminum free for me! My hubs however thinks he needs the manly men deodorants like Old Spice to keep him from smelling. I CAN NOT SLEEP next to him when he puts that stuff on before bed. It burns my nose…that cant be good! So i asked him to please try the Nourish brand. (Toms does not work for him) He actually likes the smell of this one. Win for me! Can’t really go wrong with anything that has vanilla in it:) It is not cakey either. I highly recommend this for your stinky man, or your stinky self. There are other scents too as well as unscented.

That’s my rant for today…enjoy your Sunday!
