Why I Changed Up My Skincare Routine

The past 6 months have involved a lot of lifestyle changes in my life. Don’t get me wrong, there are others I definitely need to focus on (regular exercise) but I’m choosing to take it one change at a time. One thing that I didn’t have was a consistent skin care routine. I often cleansed my face with water and then applied a moisturizer. I knew I wanted to make a change and use something consistently, so this past summer, I gave it a go.

In the last few years, there has been a big push to eat healthy. People are cutting out refined sugars, flour, dairy and some, animal products. Besides putting healthy food into my body, for me, the next step was to be selective in the products that I used on my body, as they would ultimately go in to my body.

If you’ve followed my blog, you’ll know that I LOVE K’Pure products. Not only are they made locally in the Lower Mainland but they’re made with all-natural, organic, non-toxic, cruelty-free products and many of their products are multi-functional. They also use ingredients I can read (and understand) on the label.

Here are the products that I use as part of my skin care routine:

Once or twice a week I’ll use the Clean-up Dead Sea Mud Mask. This mask can also be used to detox your whole body including your armpits.

I’ll also exfoliate with Perk Up Skin Polishing Oil once a week. I love how soft and hydrated this leaves my skin.

I always cleanse my face with Washed Up. I use this as a shampoo and body wash for my kids as well.

I’ll then use Settle Down spray as a toner. I also alternate between spraying this and Deep Breath (especially during cold season) on our pillows before bed.

Next I’ll apply Brighten Up to my face and neck. I wrote a post about why I love this product here. It’s the best for leaving a natural, healthy glow.

Finally, I apply Eyes Up serum under my eyes. A little bit goes a long way. It helps to nourish the skin while brightening up dark spots and reducing puffiness.
