Healthy Skin

I must confess that I have a history of being terrible at sticking to skin care regimens.  There are many nights that I go to bed without washing my face.  This week I have made a renewed commitment to the largest organ of my body, my skin.

This all started last weekend when I entered a drawing for a free facial.  I don't know why I entered the drawing. I have never been comfortable with someone I don't know rubbing and poking at my face.  For many of the same reasons, I don't really enjoy manicures and pedicures either.

Well, as you might expect, a few days ago I got a call that I had won a free facial!

A feeling of slight panic settled in as I marked my calendar for facial, next Tuesday, 9:30 am.  I use what I consider to be the best natural skin care products on the market. But the best natural skin care products do not help if you use them sporadically. I realized quickly that I needed to commit that moment to taking care of my skin morning and evening until my appointment.  I want the lady to look at my skin through a magnifying glass and be really impressed.

So every day, twice a day, this week I am faithfully cleansing, toning, repairing, moisturizing, and protecting my skin.

In case you are interested, I am using Enfuselle skin care which is Shaklee's skin care line.  The product has 7 patents and does not contain any of the harmful chemicals such as parabens, 1,4 dioxane, SLS/SLES, and pthalates to name a few.  I am eager to find out what the skin care lady says.  My skin is looking noticeably better.  This may have been what I needed to get me motivated to take better care of my skin.

I'll post next week and let you know how the facial goes.
