Best Organic Skincare




Using the best organic skincare products is ideal to make sure that your skin remains as healthy as possible, as organic products don’t include irritating synthetic chemicals and are, therefore, great for sensitive skin. When choosing the organic skincare products you want to include in your skincare routine, there are definitely a number of products you want to make sure are on your shopping list.

Best Organic Skincare

Here are the best organic skincare products to add to your skincare routine, no matter what type of skin you have:

Organic Cleanser – Using an organic skin cleanser is essential to remove dirt, oil, dead skin cells, makeup, and other pollutants from your skin. Organic cleansers help to prevent various skin conditions, like acne, by helping to unclog your pores. You should use a cleanser at least once a day, along with a toner and a moisturizer, in order to keep your skin clean and healthy.

Organic Toner – An organic toner is another one of the best organic skincare products to add to your skincare routine. A skin toner works to cleanse your skin and keep it smooth. It helps to shrink the appearance of your skin’s pores and to refresh your complexion. An organic toner will typically be applied by using damp cotton wool (preferably organic). Once the toner has dried on your skin, you can then move on to moisturizing.



Organic Moisturizer – Adding an organic moisturizer to your skin care regimen is essential as it will help to increase the amount of hydration your skin receives and it will make your skin softer and smoother. You should apply your organic moisturizer after you have finished cleansing your face and the toner has dried. The moisturizer will then work to help improve the texture and tone of your skin, to treat and prevent dry skin, and to mask any blemishes or imperfections. An organic moisturizer is by far one of the best organic skincare products you can use.

Organic Exfoliator – An organic exfoliator is another one of the best organic skincare products out there. It works by lifting away dead cells on your skin by exfoliating and scrubbing your face and also provides for deep cleansing of your T-Zone area (the area of your chin, nose, and forehead). Exfoliators are often used after washing your face before you go to bed, so that it is free of makeup and any pollutants. It is recommended that you use an exfoliator a few times a week.

The best organic skincare as you see above is to look on labels for natural products and not chemicals to treat your skin.

Why Today Was Awesome

Today I created a list to live by based on what I consider to be a successful day. It’s slightly embarrassing to share this on the internets, but I really love lists and encouragement so here goes…

To take care of my body by:

Exercising: 60 minutes a day (taking Sunday’s off)

Eating Well: planning meals a day ahead, taking time to cook and count calories

Caring for my skin: Washing my face morning and night, using moisturizer

Caring for my teeth: brush morning and night (minimum), floss and use mouthwash

Caring for my feet and hands

To take care of my environment:

Keeping the dishes clean:  not going to bed with a dirty kitchen

Making the bed and putting clothes away

Quick tidy-up in the bathroom, living room and dining room

Caring for plants and animals: watering and tending

To Work Hard:

Complete “musts” on to-do lists

Complete small chunks of large projects daily

To meet deadlines and fulfill expectations, to do more than expected

To Be Creative:

To blog daily

To create new jewelry

Create new recipes

Take photographs

Paint and sew

To Connect:

Return emails as I read them

Stay in touch via phone, email, visits, twitter and facebook

Leave comments on blogs

Take time to do something fun with husband every day

Plan special events with husband, friends and family

All of the red tasks are items that I checked off my “successful day” checklist. I won’t do this every day, but it’s good for me to check in with my goals and to see if what I’m doing every day is taking me closer to them.

I’m making a true effort to get my eating in check this month. I feel like I keep saying it, but I really need to do it. It’s not that I feel that I’m eating horribly, but I can do better. My plan is planning. For tomorrow I have my breakfast and lunch already planned out and prepared with the calories counted. Everything is in a container and ready to go. I feel good about this, but I always feel good on day one. We’ll see.

We’ve entered week SEVEN of insanity and I just cannot believe it. I can hold a steady plank pose now. My stretches are much deeper and I am moving better in general. I’ve noticed that I don’t want to eat bad foods because I am having the thought “I won’t feel good enough to exercise if I’m bloated, or feel sick from food”. Having that thought is shocking for me. That is a thought that I think truly healthy people have; considering food choices because of how they makes you feel. I want to do so much that eating poorly would only take my energy away. I’m just now realizing this, food=energy, bad food takes energy, good food gives energy. Why did it take me so long to realize this?

Another Resolution: Skin Care

I have a whole list of small little goals and resolutions that I’m working on this year. Taking better care of my skin has been on my mind all year. On my mind, and not much else. I wash my face in the shower, but that’s it. I wear makeup on a daily basis and never wash it off at night (cue gasps). And I’ve had a blemish (or five) on my face everyday since I was 16…I’m almost 28. Part genetics and part neglect.

I’ve tried proactiv, viatamins, clean and clear and clinque. I can’t say they didn’t work, but mainly I’ve just not stuck to using them on a regular basis. I did find however, that the acne treatment stuff only irritated my face more and left it peeling and red and brought on more skin problems.

This year, I’m making a valid effort even if I’ve already passed out on the couch and wake back up–to wash my face at night. It’s been five days and my face is smooth, soft, and blemish free. What expensive product am I using?

This $2 frangrance-free soap. I love it. I’m also using Burt’s Bees  Acne Solutions face scrub in the shower in the mornings along with a natural shea butter soap. I don’t love the face scrub mainly because it leaves a residue on my face that I don’t care for, but I follow with the shea butter soap and everything is fine again.

I am using an organic moisturizer lightly as well, and that’s pretty much it.

I’ve use Adobe Illustrator for my calendar and to track my goals. On the outside of my calendar area I have a list of daily tasks that I copy and paste into completed tasks when they are done. I have to say putting “wash face 2x” into completed tasks is satisfying and keeping me on track.

Do you have any little goals that you’re sticking with this year? Taking better care of your teeth, skin, nails, feet?

ps: burt’s bees and neutrogena have no idea who I am, I just use these products because I like them. Or bought them and feel like I need to use it anyway.
