Natural Skincare Routine

McCoy isn't the most snuggly baby in the world, but every now and then he presses his face against me and wants to stay there for a little while. And then I totally melt. :) 

Every time he does it, I feel so thankful that my skincare routine is pretty darn safe. I'd be so nervous if he was pulling away covered in scents or chemicals. Below is my current routine!

Night time:

TO WASH

I've shared Batty's Bath probably 10 times on here, buuuut I can't help myself. Her products are amazing. I found them a few years ago because she was recommended on EWG's Skin Deep. One order and I was sold for life!

Morning and night, I use her face wash. I've tried most of them and you can't go wrong. I definitely recommend taking her skin care quiz before selecting your products.

If I feel like I need to exfoliate, I used Goldfaden MD Doctor's Scrub. I recognize this is an expensive item, but I've had it for a full year and am not even halfway through. A little bit goes a very long way. Also, everything Goldfaden makes is gold. Aptly named!

TO MOISTURIZE

Nightly, I use Batty's Raw Radiance moisturizer for my face.

If I'm feeling really motivated, I'll follow it up with Goldfaden's Bright Eyes. Again, one year later and I'm not even halfway through the bottle. A dot does a lot. Like glue in elementary school.

On my lips, I use Primally Pure Grapefruit lip balm


Day time:

TO MOISTURIZE

I use Batty's Raw Radiance (see above) mixed with a teeeeeny tiny bit of Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi serum. I am obsessed with this serum. I feel like it makes my skin lightly glowy and has really positive effects on how it looks - even after I've washed my face. 

FOR SUN PROTECTION

I use SuperGoop Unseen Sunscreen. Full disclosure: It has a 3 on the EWG rating instead of a 1 or 2, which I try to avoid. But the product is just so incredible! It works like nothing I've experienced before. 

I follow both moisturizers with mascara and I'm ready to go for the day!
