skin care routine

i finally got round to testing the new "my skin" line by essence. all the products come in very pretty packaging and they smell very nice, too. the combination of face wash and mattifying moisturizer do make my skin stay matte all day, BUT it also goes very dry- and i usually have oily to combination skin!

i have switched up my routine to accommodate this:

i only use the my skin moisturizer in the morning and my trusty carrot moisturizer by the body shop in the evening. i also put the face wash in the shower to use as a weekly scrub rather than a daily cleanser. i'm back to my balea med face wash.

after all this i'm gonna try the "all about tomatoes" line- both face and hair products.

our daily shower routine...

... is back to being ALL organic :)
