Day 3 on my new skin care regimen!

Okay, so here's the update on my new skin care plan! So the first night I felt a little weird not putting moisturizer on but it went alright. That first night I used the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Milk first to remove my makeup, and if you know me you know I like to wear makeup, so I washed my face a few times with the cleansing milk because I do like the cleanser, it's mild and soothing, it's hydrating and good for your skin but I do feel like it doesn't take off enough of my makeup so I do cleanse my face a few times with the cleansing milk. Next week I'm going to invest in a good makeup remover so I can stop washing my face 3 times twice a day. So anywho, the first night I washed my face with the Cleansing Milk, then I used to Cleansing Cream which is Dr. Hauschka's scrub. It has sweet almond meal in it so it slightly exfoliates the skin while also helping lymphatic drainage. You don't scrub with the Cleansing Cream you press and roll your hands moving down the face and down the neck. So I used the Cleansing Cream and then the first night I decided to go right for the Rejuvenating Mask. It was fantastic!! After I washed the mask off I used the Facial Toner and then went to bed. The first night it felt pretty weird going to bed without a moisturizer because I am a firm believer in moisturizing at night. Let me also add the first day I decided to try this test my face was so dry!! I have pretty normal-to-dry skin but lately with all this cold weather and using the heat at home my face has been much drier than normal! I mean, my skin has been so dry I can barely put makeup on because applying the makeup makes my skin look flaky. So going to bed with no moisturizer was very hard for me! So, I went to bed and when I woke up on day 2 I couldn't even tell that I didn't wear moisturizer the night before. My skin didn't feel too bad! I washed my face that morning with Cleansing Milk and then toned with the Facial Toner and boy did that feel good!! Then I used the Quence Moisturizer, which quence hydrates and encourages skin's moisture balance, protects your skin from the environment, contains Witch Hazel which helps tone and balance your skin and really kept my skin fresh all day! Another good thing about Dr. Hauschka that I like is that I don't smell like essential oils all day. The products smell really nice and light. Sometimes I use certain holistic/organic product lines and they smell so bad I can't even use them! But Hauschka's line smells light and fantastic!! So, day 3 my skin has no flakes at all!! I actually feel like there is more moisture to my skin then there has been in I'd say 2 months! I'm really getting used to the no moisturizer thing at night and my skin is looking and feeling great! I will admit, I am not using a Dr. Hauschka eye cream yet. I don't have enough money to buy another eye cream...I will in a few days just to really go for all the products but I have been using my favorite Therapy Systems Line Tox for Eyes and I use the eye cream day and night. I do not use moisturizer, but I do feel like the eyes could go for some moisturizer day and night. If you haven't read my previous blog I will just explain that Dr. Hauschka does not believe in moisturizing at night because he believes that the night time is when your skin needs to rest and repair itself and slathering tons of moisturizer on it does not allow your skin to breathe and repair. So, that's the deal and so far my skin is looking and feeling better than it has in months!!
