A few weeks ago, I was looking to go back to basics with my beauty. I am obsessed with beauty oils right now. I prefer using oils for my hair, skin, and nails. I also love that beauty oils offer anti-aging benefits. Not only do they moisturize and keep my skin looking soft, but they help minimize fine lines! We found 5 ways to go basic with beauty and wellness!
A few weeks ago, I was watching my favorite shopping network featuring a well-known brand. She is known for her beauty oils and products! While I wish I could have purchased the products, I know I am also on a budget! I also remind myself that I would be paying for the name brand and I am only interested in the actual products inside! In other words, I can find the same product for less from other brands.
Beauty Oils
While beauty oils are far from basic, they are the perfect product to turn to when you’re on a budget and want one product that works!
Jojoba oil is a great oil to use for all in one beauty! I use Baebody Jojoba Oil for my hair, skin, and nails. I like to treat myself with a hair mask. I use a few drops and massage on my scalp and run through my hair.
Jojoba oil can also be used as a makeup remover! A gentle and effective way to remove makeup and moisturize your skin at the same time!
When my hands are dry, I just use a few drops of Baebody Jojoba Oil! Jojoba oil is perfect as an all over body moisturizer! At night, I like to pamper my feet with a few drops of jojoba oil!
I also use Baebody Jojoba Oil on my son’s sensitive skin.
I was looking for a basic but effective cleanser and I was excited to try the Fyve Facial Oil Cleanser! I’ve tried micellar water and products specifically to remove makeup, but a one step facial oil cleanser seems simpler!
The Facial Oil Cleanser is so easy and quick to use! I use one squirt on dry skin. I gently massage my face and then take a warm/hot face towel and gently scrub my skin! Not only does my skin feel clean, soft, and my makeup is all gone!
The first time I used it, I forgot to use a separate cleanser to clean my face and jumped right in the shower to continue on with my evening routine. However, I found that just the use of the Facial Oil Cleanser thoroughly cleans my face!
After showering the day away, I then moisturize my face and body! I use a few drops of the Fyve Hydrating Face Oil! Sometimes I will add a drop or two of argan oil and jojoba oil to the mix for extra anti-aging magic.
The Hydrating Face Oil is gentle and lightweight on my skin. The oil absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave an oily feeling behind!
After I am done moisturizing my face and using my anti-aging magic oils, I then like to use the Fyve Vanilla Lavender Body Oil all over my skin! The oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly! No greasy or oily feeling at all!
Back before I aware of chemicals and ingredients, there was a time that I used baby oil all over my skin and I remember how greasy it felt. I poured baby oil into a little pump bottle to use and the bottle would always be so oily! What a mess!
Wear a mask
With our new normal of having to wear a mask when we are out in public and around other people, I wanted to be prepared! My son and I only had one pair of face masks that we really wore.
My two favorite face masks are the California Republic and Tiger King Style masks from TipJarMasks.
I chose the California Republic face mask because I was born and raised in California. I am very excited to be back in California after many years of living out of state. I missed California all that time and I am very happy to be back. I am also thankful I can raise my son in the same area I grew up in!
My next favorite is the Tiger King Style face mask! I could only get through 3 episodes of Tiger King but I am determined to keep going! I know how popular the show was, so it’s worth trying to get through it.
The Pink Leopard and Camo Blue Mask are so cute. I like to have a variety of masks available. The Pink Leopard is another option for me to wear when I am feeling girly! The Camo Blue Mask fits my son perfectly! For age/size reference, my son is 14!
The Fighter Jets and the Pink Mask are sized for youth and are two small for both my son and myself. For reference, I would say these fit elementary age children. I am keeping them on hand!
Protect your eyes
Now that the sun is out, be sure to protect your eyes with Rheos Floating Sunglasses! My son recently lost his main pair of sunglasses. Luckily, we had a backup pair, but I also wanted him to have another pair on hand! I chose the Bahias (Sport) in Gunmetal / Emerald for him! Right now, he’s in between sizes. He’s too big for kids sizes and not quite an adult! So I chose adult size frames for him.
For myself, I chose the Palmettos (Aviator) – Gunmetal / Rose! They are a bit big on me but I still love them. I love that they cover and protect my eyes! These pretty much protect most of my face from the harsh sun!
Both sunglasses are lightweight and polarized! Knowing that our sunglasses offer 100% UV protection is very important to me.
Minerals for wellness
I have crystals that I use around my home. I am also a fan of using my oil diffuser with essential oils throughout the day and evening. Oils help create calm and peace. I also believe they improve our overall well-being.
Since I love crystals and using my oil diffuser, I am so excited to add dharma ✚ rose quartz libido remedy, KA-POW! ✚ Smart•Brain•Memory Remedy, and Mineral Diffusing Blend ■Elements from Ohm, Only Healing Minerals to our daily routine.
Even though it’s a small sample size, I am most excited about the KA-POW! ✚ Smart•Brain•Memory Remedy because I have the worst memory. I need that mental boost, especially since my son is home from school. I usually get more work done when he’s at school, so we’ve both had to adjust to our new normal.
As a single mom, I have gone through times of feeling really down, unhappy, stressed, overwhelmed, or just depressed! I was feeling like this just a few days ago. I’ve been going back and forth with myself if we should adopt a dog or not. I am conflicted because adding a fur friend to our home is a lot of work! But also, my heart feels empty sometimes. That’s where dharma ✚ rose quartz libido remedy comes in handy. I need extra love and practice letting love in! I just want to attract more love energy in my life!
Since I use our oil diffusers, I am so excited to add the Mineral Diffusing Blend â– Elements to our routine! To use, I fill a huge container with water and use a few pinches of the blend and let it steep for a few minutes before adding to our diffuser! Why not help boost our immunity, especially in these times of the Coronavirus all around!?
