My skin is super sensitive and after my workouts each day, I need a cleanser that is not going to make my skin breakout and/or inflamed. I am happy to report, I have found my favorite, and I’m sharing it with you here today!

So many of you have asked what my skincare routine is weekly, so below are the items I use on a daily basis for my skincare and make-up routine. I am serious about taking good care of my skin and weekly, I get asked what my skincare routine looks like.

This mask is suitable for most skin types. Due to the acid content in the formula, this mask may be too strong for some with sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to do a patch test on the back of your neck and waiting 24 hours before full-face application. Stop use if any irritation occurs.

How I wash my Brushes:

This is so important to note, when we use our brushes and/or beauty blender, they can become FULL of bacteria from your skin, makeup bag, house and air. What happens, is it builds up over time as some bacteria is actually healthy for us! Then what happens is you stick that stuff on your face and then back on your makeup and then back to your face. That’s an icky cycle.

With the milder temps, fresh air, and sunshine right around the corner, it is great to start thinking about areas in your life that might require some Spring cleaning as you move out of winter and into a fresh start for the spring and summer months. Many people focus on cleaning out different rooms of their homes and prepping their yards for the new season, but often the skincare and makeup drawers get forgotten.

Whether you are planning a multi-week vacation or just a quick weekend getaway, it can be stressful and overwhelming when trying to figure out what to pack. Are you an over packer? Yup, I know, I’ve earned this title many times. Often people over pack because they just do not know how to edit or feel too overwhelmed and unsure of what they’ll need over multiple days away from home.

As consumers have become increasingly aware of the health implications of harmful chemicals and toxicants, companies are listening and creating more “clean” options. In fact, in 2020 clean beauty sales increased while the conventional beauty market took a hit.

I’m sharing everything you need to know about the consultant opportunity & why I joined! I want to share my experience and chat about what it’s really like being a Beautycounter consultant, because today is my 3rd year anniversary of joining. I can’t express how much I have enjoyed working and educating the women and men around me.

It might surprise you that “Clean Beauty” is not a regulated term. Natural beauty, clean, green, organic, clinically tested, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, pharmaceutical-grade, are very loosely defined.

Navigating ingredient labels can be very annoying and confusing. I had a lot more patience for it before kids, but thankfully since then I’ve found companies I trust and love.

Last week I shared my favorite summertime cleansers + moisturizers (link HERE), this week I am featuring my favorite facial mask, "treatment steps" and sunscreen. I know it may feel like summer is almost over since it's the end of August - but it's not and I always try to hold on to every part of summer as I can!

Summer is in full swing, and I am just loving all that comes with it! It's been a bit rainy, to say the least, which at times I feel like we are living through Fall here but alas the sun came out today finnnnnnallllly! We've had a good amount of our favorite things this summer so far - mountain bike rides, long walks, days at the beach, lots of planning for the Mountain Home, date nights, our anniversary (21 years!) and late nights binging some of my favorite series on Netflix.

What is Maskne?! It’s the term for blemishes that are happening to people's skin related to their face coverings. If you are struggling with breakouts since you started wearing a mask, I’ve got some tips how to treat maskne during the pandemic.

I was the girl who would tan two times per day when I worked at a tanning salon in the midwest and also use baby oil to get as dark as possible in my summers in the Midwest. I was under the mindset that you didn’t need sun protection you just need a base tan and then you could keep going indefinately without sun protection.

Well, to sum it up we are experts on human behavior, limiting beliefs, old stories you tell yourself, body science, confidence, motivation, and overall lifestyle and health. I am a “change agent” who helps clients set and achieve health goals and build new habits that ultimately serve them, as opposed to self-sabotaging daily.
