my so-called skincare regimen

I never really followed any rigorous skincare regimen when I was in high school or in college. For me, the task of doing the cleanse-tone-moisturize routine was exhausting and unnecessary (or it was just the laziness taking over again). I only relied on my trusty bath soap before since it was doing such a great job in keeping my skin clear and acne-free.

...Or so I thought.

Much to my dismay, my skin begun to "act up". I would get annoying breakouts; pimples started popping here and there, one after the other. It was a pain in the *SS! So, I thought that maybe because of years and years of not doing the "routine", my skin was beginning to take its toll on me. Gahhh!! I had to act fast and think of a solution. I tried soooo many products, I wasted money on a lot of them since they did nothing for my breakouts. Then, I discovered organic products, and I'm so happy that I tried them!

Now, I present to you my skin BFFs:

(from left to right) Human <3 Nature Sunflower Cleansing Oil, Human <3 Nature  Sunflower Beauty Oil, Human <3 Nature Moisturizing Day Fluid and Dickinson's Witch Hazel

Here's my take on these products: (note that I've been using these for more than a month now)

Human <3 Nature Sunflower Cleansing Oil
    --- This is so effective in removing stubborn, waterproof makeup. I'd use a cotton ball or a cotton pad for this, let it soak in my eye and face for a few minutes then wipe it off with baby wipes. It leaves skin oily though so I'd still wash my face with soap and water after (unless you like the oily, gunky feel, then choose to leave it that way..hehe!)

Human <3 Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil
   --- It claims to help lighten dark under eye circles, dark spots and pimple marks, and amazingly, IT DOES JUST THAT AND MORE!! But, it is not an overnight thing, you have to be a bit diligent with this for it to work. I find that it is less greasy and easily absorbed by the skin compared to the cleansing oil. I usually leave on pea-size amount of this fluid on my face at night. However, I've read on some reviews that they use this during the day as a moisturizer, but I find it too oily. And, that is why I bought the next product.

Human <3 Nature Day Moisturizing Fluid
   --- Well, this one is just an OK product for me. It moisturizes without being greasy and icky and that's good enough to merit my liking. And, the best thing about this is that it doesn't break me out. The other products I've tried (ehemm Olay Total Effects!) TOTALLY failed in that area!

Dickinson's Witch Hazel
   --- It claims that it cleans deep down to your pores, but I don't really know how that feels so I can't comment on that. Haha! All I know is that I get this refreshing feeling after I use it. Beware of the smell though, it was overpowering at first but it doesn't bother me now. I guess my nose just got used to it. Another con of this product is that it is so hard to find! They say that you can buy this at Healthy Options but it's always out of stock! Well, I guess I'd have to use it sparingly until I find another bottle. *sigh*

**If you guys are wondering, you can buy Human <3 Nature products in Landmark Trinoma or you can order here.
