My skincare routine is pretty regimented. I believe that a consistent routine leads to healthier skin!

MORNING:

I use our Foaming Face Wash (my favorite is the Rose) to cleanse, then I spritz my face with the Rosewater Toner followed by the Daily Face Cream. I lock in all of that moisture with our Beauty Balm, which really makes my skin G-L-O-W!

NIGHTTIME:

I use our Facial Cleansing Brush with Foaming Face Wash to really lift and remove any dirt, pollen, or bacteria on my skin. I follow that up by spritzing Clean Sweep Toner on a cotton pad and wiping my entire face and neck area with that. I always avoid my eye area because I have Ocular Rosacea and it’s easily irritated by essential oils. Next, I use our Nightly face Serum with a Gua Sha treatment. It relieves all of the tension in my face! I pat a few drops of Pomegranate Oil along my brow bone and under my eye to brighten my tired eyes. Then I use the Beauty Balm all over. I’m definitely glowing when I get into bed, but this routine relaxes me and prepares me for a good night’s sleep!

WEEKLY EXFOLIATION:

Typically on Sundays I wake up and do an anti-aging exfoliation mask. You can find the recipe HERE. It’s perfect because I can enjoy my coffee while it’s setting up. Wednesdays are reserved for my Emulsified Sugar Scrub. I use it in the shower in the morning and it removes any dry skin or excess oil that my skin may be accumulating. Friday nights are very exciting because I always do a Pumpkin Enzyme Mask to wind down the week!

It was incredibly important to me that I knew every ingredient that went into the Simple Body Line. So, instead of outsourcing or hiring a chemist, I decided to formulate the line myself. I did TONS of research and reading and when it came time to develop my first product (our deodorant) I knew what ingredients were important for fighting odor and then it was just a matter of experimenting with various ratios. It did take me 2 years to develop our first product, but I have ZERO regrets because it works so well.

I’m thankful every day that I went to PRATT Institute in NYC. I studied Communications Design which gave me the skills to do my own design work initially. I had 10+ years of designing print ads, websites, and ads for other businesses and it helped give me the confidence and skills so I could design my own packaging, website, and marketing materials. It helped save me a great deal of money in the beginning phase of my business.

*BLUSH* I’m flattered that, at 50, people think that! I’m very regimented about my routine. I think women over 40 need to layer their moisture because we lose so much as we age. Sunscreen is an absolute MUST any time you’re out in the sun. I use a titanium dioxide and zinc-based powder that I made and use as a finishing powder every day, which provides natural sunscreen.

There are several apps and websites that you can research the potential hazards or risks of using certain ingredients. My favorite has always been EWG.org/skindeep. I often challenge my customers to look up the ingredients in some of their other products to check the safety of what they’re using. Often times they come back shocked at what they’ve read. 

Well, honestly money. It’s very expensive to list your products with these sites. They usually charge per product and we have over 175 SKUS, so it’s just price prohibitive for us at the moment. 

Acne can be caused by many things. Diet, skincare products, and hormones can all affect the skin. The best way to prevent breakouts is to keep your skin clean to get rid of all the impurities, dead skin and the extra oil that starts forming on your skin’s surface. Eat a clean diet by removing sugar and greasy foods and adding in fruits and vegetables. It’s important to pay attention to when you break out to identify potential causes. Sometimes preservatives in products can cause acne, that’s why it’s important to use natural, botanical-based products that are easily absorbed by your skin. You use makeup sparingly, keep your hair and hands away from your face, and absolutely no picking at the acne. This will spread bacteria and make it worse. Our Clean Sweep Toner is fantastic for stopping breakouts.

If you’re not using sunscreen, it’s important to start using a mineral sunscreen right away! You should be using the Emulsified Sugar Scrub at least once a week as well as the Pumpkin Enzyme mask. The Beauty Balm will lighten dark spots over time by applying it to affected areas both morning and night.
