I'm the kind of girl that loves makeup, but I hate it when it's obvious that you're wearing makeup. We are all naturally beautiful, so why in the world do you want to make yourself look like something you're not?
Today I'm going to show you how I keep my skin looking healthy and clear without going overboard on cosmetics.
My skin is oily so I make sure I wash it right when I wake up and right before I go to bed. When I go to bed each night, I take off my makeup with a fragrance free face wipe. I buy Wal Mart's brand because they come in packs of two and are a great price! I've tried using other facial wipes, but none of them seemed to work better than Equate so I've stuck with the good old Wally world. After my makeup is removed, I use Neutrogena Clear Pore. All you need to do is put a little on a cotton ball and rub it all over your face. This product is great because it gets rid of any excess oils that have found their way into my pores. I can tell it works really well because my skin afterwards feels refreshed and clean. It's honestly my favorite feeling! My hair is also oily so I throw my hair in a top knot and put on a headband. I'm not going to get rid of all the excess oil and then have it come right back during the night. Now it's time for sleep!

Surprisingly, when I wake up in the morning my skin almost feels like it did when I went to bed. But of course the journey goes on in my morning routine. When I'm in the shower, I use my beloved Olay Microdermabrasion Advanced Cleaning System. This bad boy helps exfoliate in less than a minute. There are also two speeds for you to choose from. It comes with cleansers, but they are in the world's smallest bottles so they run out really fast. Target has their own version of the cleanser and it's also just as good for a much better price than Olay can offer.
Before I put on my makeup for the day, I repeat my night routine with the facial wipes and cleanser I mentioned before. After that's all done, it's finally time to make my skin appear perfect. Like I've said, I am anti "I need makeup to make myself look beautiful." I use CoverGirl + Olay's concealer balm to cover the annoying red spots or zits I always seem to have. This concealer literally works wonders. It lasts all day and I've found that by only using this product on my face rather than using foundation as well helps my skin breathe more and reduces the amounts of chemicals I'm putting onto my face.

Last but not least, I take care of my lips! Your lips are skin too, and even though it can be easy to forget about them you certainly can't afford to miss them! A little secret of mine: use Vaseline as lip balm. It's cheap, lasts forever, and makes your lips softer than ever.
