Around the time I got pregnant I started really paying attention to the ingredients in my beauty products. There are so many things you have to be on the lookout for while expecting but aside from that I was eager to take on a more natural approach. Over the past couple of years I’ve found a handful of natural products (and a few hacks) that I actually love and wanted to share.

Continuing on the skin care train from last week, I wanted to do a post on my favorite facial oils. Kind of like cleansing balms, I’m relatively new to them… I’ve only been using them for the past year or so. At first it seemed really counter productive – I mean, electively using an oil on your face? I thought for sure it would cause breakouts and clogged pores, but I’m here to tell you it really doesn’t.

I’m a huge advocate to double cleansing your face at the end of the day. If you do it right, you remove all makeup and dirt without doing anything to irritate your skin. The key product you need to do this is a cleansing balm.

We may be in the thick of the holiday season right now, but in just a few weeks it will be 2018. The end of this year really snuck up on me! The start of a new year always brings a blank slate and perfect time to make a resolution. This year I wanted to stay ahead of the game and get going on my New Year’s resolutions early.

I cannot believe we’re already a week in to the final month of the year! In a few weeks we’ll officially be in the winter season where our skin gets dry and we get sick. Or at least that’s what happens to me.
