Skin Care...Or?

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I am here to talk to you about your skin care routine!

Some of you might have a skin care routine already in place, and thats great! Way to go. Later we can talk about what more you can do to improve your skin care routine, particularly the one for your face. Right now, I want to address the fact that many people do NOT have a skin care routine. However, this is not surprising. It can be hard to know what products are the right to use, and sometimes it is just outright frustrating. Many people give up trying to find what works for them.

Thats where I come in. I come from someone who had literally no routine, i didn't even wash my makeup off (when I wore it) before I went to bed! This is so bad for our faces.

Enter my Mary Kay consultant: now keep in mind, I had absolutely no routine going. Also, I was very skeptical of any Mary Kay products, seeing as the single Mary Kay party I had been too resulted in a minor rash. Another thing I hated was I could feel the makeup on my face. One mistake many Mary Kay consultants make is not explaining that the company is in skin care, not necessarily makeup....

But I digress. Back on topic: What did my consultant do for me? She gave me a free facial, one on one time. This helped her help me find the right products for my daily routine. This is important! This made me feel like all the work was done for me, and that really helped me accept my new routine.

All in all the point I am trying to make is: is a skin care routine (for your face) important?? The answer is yes!

Why? I often think about what my skin was just 6 months ago, before I had a skin routine. I had numerous breakouts throughout the month, almost weekly. It wasn't full acne, but it was definite breakouts. There were clusters of pimples, usually on the cheeks, that left me feeling gross. There was also grease, I mean like after bacon cooking leftover in the pan grease. Eww.

What happened when I started my routine? Pimples gone, except for that one or two days a month when I would have a cycle. This is the big one for me: 80% to 90% less grease. Wonderful! Also, my skin felt refreshed and happy. It felt crisp and tight and I know we all love feeling that way!

In conclusion, a skin care routine has really benefited me. I want to share that with all of you out there. Thats what the point of this blog is.

Tune in for my post next time about my skin care routine and the products I use.
