Skin Care

Your skin is amazing. It protects, regulates body temperature and prevents water loss to name just a few of the important functions of this incredible organ. It is also able to absorb some substances. Two years ago I switched from branded chemical cosmetics to natural based skin care and cosmetics and my skin improved dramatically. Some changes were immediate, some were more recognisable over time.

Due to my genetic heritage, since I hit puberty I have always had oily skin prone to continual breakouts. The very first thing I changed was my makeup. I don't wear a lot of makeup. I don't like the feel of it on my skin and I think it's mostly a part of the whole unnecessary process of "fashion and beauty". I switched from a leading brand of cosmetics that used to cost me a fortune to replace and needed 2 different cleansers to remove to a completely natural mineral makeup. I buy all my makeup from MAD not only is their makeup 100% natural, it is economical and their service is fabulous.

I was amazed that I could apply my make up in two minutes flat and it looked natural while covering the redness I have in my skin. I was also surprised that it didn't take long to see a change in my skin. I had lost almost all the blackheads I had and my skin had cleared up slightly.

Then I was on the hunt for natural skin care. Sukin is the best, economical skin care range I have found. Check the prices for yourself. The cleanser I used to buy was $30 a bottle. Sukin is $10. If the local chemist has a sale on it is $8!! It is also 100% Australian. This skin care makes my skin feel sooooooooo soft. After using harsh cleansers for decades to try and control the oil in my skin it was absolutely lovely to have my skin feel soft. The moisturiser is beautiful and glides beautifully on my skin. The lip balm is heavenly. All through winter I have had soft, smooth lips and I hardly ever wear lipstick.

So I now use and wear skin care and makeup that feel glorious on, makes my skin soft, doesn't irritate my skin, keeps it beautifully clean and healthy, and costs less. Worth it? Absolutely no doubt about it.
