Full Body Skin Care Routine

Hi loves! I'm back with a new blog post. Today's post is all about SELF-CARE. With the chaos of finals finally coming to an end, I decided ya girl deserves a bit of self-care. I want to share my full body skin routine with you all. Remember, always take a breath or a moment. Step back. Step aside. Show yourself some grace, whether it is in a chapter in your favorite book, a trip to the mall with great friends, or a night of self-care in your bathroom. You deserve it, love!

FACE-TIME:

1. African Black Soap: 
Twice a day, I cleanse my face with African Black Soap. I got mine from a local African shop in Atlanta, but different brands are sold all over the city!

2. Moisture, Moisture:
In the mornings, I moisturize with Nuetrogena Naturals Multi-vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer. I apply a tiny bit and follow up with a dab of Shea Butter on top
*dabs*
Shea Butter doesn't work for everyone's skin so be careful and try a little bit at a time.
At night, I apply the Nuetrogena Naturals Night Creme

3. Scrub a Dub Dub:
Once a week, I do a facial scrub to get rid of all the dead skin and stress that college brings! My favorite, because of its price, is St. Ives Blemish Control. You can find this at ANY drug store for the low.

4. Detox Day:
On Sundays, I like to do a facial mask to detox and deep clean my pores. I have been using Queen Helen's Mint Julep Masque for about 5 years. Although the packaging says leave on for about 10 minutes, I usually get carried away and keep it on for a strong 30 minutes. Hey, I deserve it!

GLISTEN ALL OVER:

1. Cleanse:
My favorite hair and body products are Shea Moisture. I usually wash with whichever soap of theirs I can get my hands on. I'm currently using the Olive and Green Tea Shea Butter Soap.
(I've researched and found out they are no longer a black owned brand. If you guys know any similar brands with all natural products that are Black owned, please let me know!)

2. For Sistah Girl:
Dove Sensitive Skin Soap

3. Exfoliate:
Once a week, I like to do a body scrub. I usually find whichever cheap, all natural alternative that is readily available. I'm using Alba Botanical's Hawaiian Body Scrub and it is MAGICAL!

4. Skin Like Silk:
I like to moisturize my skin while it is still damp from the shower. In the winter, because you know...we get a little crusty, I mix a bit of Shea Butter and Coconut Oil in my hands and massage into my skin.

I hope you all enjoyed these tips. Comment below, how you take a moment to self-care.

Stay Happy, Stay Healthy.
