PTB Spring Reboot : Skincare


 

Clensing ( washing your face )  
Cleansers : Cethaphil , Phisoderm, 

  • Splash warm water on your face
  • Dispense product on your palm
  • With your finger tips , use upward and outward motions to apply product 
  • Once you scrubed your face . rinse it away with warm water
  • Take a towel and pat face dry 


Toner : Is debated in the beauty industry, I personally think it does a great job getting rid of excess dirt and restoring PH balance in your skin. If you want to skip it , Ill leave it up to you . 
Burts Bee's Toner ,witch hazel are my favorites though what you have on hand is good.

  • Wet a cotton ball with warm water
  • apply toner to cotton ball 
  • Using upward and outward motions 
  • Avoid eye contact 

Exfoliate : This is extremly important , you only have to do it 2x's a week. Since you shave it is a form of exfoliation your doing it already . Exfoliation is extremly important. 
St Ives Apricot Scrub is my favorite 
  • wet your face with warm water 
  • Take a quarter size amout of product 
  • apply it too yout finger tips
  • in circle motions apply the exfoliant
  • avoid eye area 
  • Take a warm wash cloth and remove the product 
  • Rinse face with warm water to get rid of grains
  • On days you exfoliated do toner after 


Moisturize : Very important , even if you have oily skin or acne .What happens is the sebaceous gland (gland that secrets oil and keep skin protected) sees that your skin is dry , goes in too panic mode producing more oil to protect your skin. I know if your skin is oily you want to dry it out . Its very important to moiturize . It keeps the gland at bay and my reduce your break outs or oily feeling. 
Dispense product on your palm using upward and outward motions 



  • With your finger tips , use upward and outward motions to apply product 
So this helps you get started or if you have gone pro a little brush up for you . If you have any questions more than happy to assist

Saturday Sheet Masking

On Instagram you have been seeing people wearing sheet masks. This is now a two year old trend. I've been wanting to try , while in target the other night. I found a whole bunch of sheet masks . I will say that the prices vary. The mask I purchased was $1.80 USD . The weather extremely cold this evening in the northeastern United States. What a perfect night to mask. 
Sheet mask 
 
 Reading directions the keep on the face for 10 minutes 
 
The mask feels like the texture of a moist towelette, slight oily consistency. The smell is a robust coconut, the package says the smell of vacation I agree. 
 
 
 
I applied the mask it's was cooling and soothing on my dry combination skin. The mask did slightly feel intense when I applied it . I put on some music for ten minutes, dreaming of beachs,warmth and summer vacations. When I removed the mask my skin felt tacky that soon disappeared. My skin felt glowing and soft . I'll say I'm a fan , also eager to try more.
