I love makeup tips. In high school, if I didn't have plans on a Saturday night (which sadly was quite often), I would stay home and do full makeup just to try out my products or to try applying my makeup in a new way. I actually considered being a makeup artist, but couldn't find a school that specialized in makeup without having to learn hair and nails too. I'm not good with hair. My poor sister had to live through several bad haircuts because of me. Sorry sis!
So, today we are talking about my favorite beauty product, or more specifically, my favorite skin care product.
This is a picture of a snake molting - shedding it's nasty, scaly, skin. This is how my skin looks and feels all the time without help. I have the dryest skin EVER! I used to get out of the shower, dry off and feel like my skin was about to crack open it was so dry. It was disgusting!
A few years ago, I discovered Arbonne. It's an all natural line of health and beauty products. Almost everything I use is made by Arbonne. One of my absolute favorite things is a good sea salt scrub. Arbonne makes the best and let me tell you why it's the best. Most sea salt scrubs contain mineral oil with added fragrance and salt. Mineral oil does not allow the skin to breathe. It sits on top of the skin and doesn't absorb. It makes your clothes and sheets greasy. Have you ever put on sunscreen in the summer, gone outside where it's hot and you feel funny because you're hot but you can't sweat to cool off? Does that make sense? It's because most sunscreen containes mineral oil and your skin can't breathe or sweat. Arbonne products do not contain mineral oil. The sea salt scrub is made with real essential oils which actually absorb into the skin and leave you soft, not greasy. The sea salt is harvested in France and is extremely healing. It's far superior to ANY sea salt scrub I have ever tried. I love it!
I recently told my Hubby that I can deal with not being a beauty queen.
I can deal with not looking like a Victoria's Secret model.
Does anyone else want to smack her? No? Maybe it's just me.
What I cannot deal with is feeling like everytime he touches my arm that he's reminded of one of these:
EEEWWW! I would much rather be so soft that he can't keep his hands off of me. Wouldn't you? Doesn't that sound good?

Oh, I could use your help when shopping and applying makeup! I can't do hair or makeup! What a fun giveaway. I too strongly dislike dry skin. My poor little girl seems to get it and I've been lotioning her up since she was born. I want to be touchable soft for my kids and husband and me.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I think I could slap her.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the scrub...thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteAs for who I'd like to feel touchable for...I'd say my husband, but I'm not sure he'd notice what the skin above my waist feels like (TMI? Sorry). So I'll just say that I'd like to feel comfortable in my own skin.

I need this because after my surgery I haven't been able to put cream or lotion everywhere, since I could only use my left arm/hand. And the arm where they put the Betadine for surgery is SO scaley...ugh. So I need this for me AND my hubby! =)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne
I put it on Facebook for ya!!!
