For those of you who are acne suffering natural cosmetics fans I have a few products you might be interested in! Everyone’s make-up routine is different however, there are three components that most women have and use. They are the cleanser, toner and lotion. The following is something I do every morning. My evening ritual is a bit different and it will be covered in another blog.
The cleanser that I love is African Black Soap by Nubian Heritage. This soap contains palm ash, plantain peel extract, tamarind extract, papaya enzymes and a tiny amount of salicylic acid for an extra bit of exfoliation. In addition it doesn't dry out you skin because it contains Shea butter, an ingredient that gets often confused with cocoa butter. Shea butter is very good for the skin and doesn’t clog the pores. If you would like to order it or just know more just visit this link.http://www.afrikanrepublic.com/pd_black_soap.cfm
As a moisturizer I enjoy Bee Yummy Skin food. This wonderful cream contains just Wildflower Honey, Honey Cappings, Bee Pollen, Propolis, St. John’s Wort Oil, Royal Jelly, Purified Water, and Balsam Fir Needles as fragrance. Many of you are thinking, I can probably make this at home, or how is honey going to help if nothing else has. Honey believe it or not is a miracle worker, and so is Propolis. Honey unlike benzyl peroxide is a natural antibacterial agent, that will kill bacteria but still be gentle to your pores. Honey contains a variety of enzymes while Propolis, St. Johns Wort and Bee Pollen all have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties. Fir needles are a natural source of vitamin C which will invigorate and brighten skin tone. Unimpressed or just plain skeptical? Check it out

Lastly toner, something that you buy and end up NOT using. Maybe you just didn’t buy the right toner, or laziness took over, I don’t know, but the following product is pretty awesome. Lush Cosmetic’s Tea tree and grapefruit detoxifying facial spritzer is fantastic. It has even fewer ingredients than the Bee Yummy, you can pronounce all of them and its vegan which is a pretty rare find. Overall its light, has tee tree oil which is known as a great anti-inflammatory and goes great over and under make-up!! Need I say more?? Find out for yourself
