Organic Skin Care

Aloha peppermints! So today, I received the organic skin care stuff I ordered online. It’s a perfect timing because I received them right before I get ready to go to work. After taking a bath, I immediately tried the Argan Oil. I ordered the 15ml bottle (Php330); I came in an amber bottle with a very posh type of dropper. Yes, a dropper. It smells nutty, not fragranced. I only used one drop and it was enough to cover my entire face. I also ordered 50g of the Aztec Clay Mask (Php75). The seller was pretty generous and ever gave me a free sample of her raw shea  butter. J Thanks thanks!

Here’s a photo of what I received.

Here’s the Argan Oil and the posh dropper. What you do is you press the button on top of the bottle before you open it to get the product into the dropper.

At night, I tried the Aztec Clay Mask. You mix it with either tap water or organic Apple Cider Vinegar but I used water as I’m not that much of a fan of the Apple Cider Vinegar. Upon mixing the Clay Powder and tap, I think I may have used too much powder. I used one tablespoon of the powder and about 4 tablespoons of water in order to get the right consistency.

In using the mask, you’re supposed to leave on your skin for just 20 minutes. As for me, I needed another extra 20 minutes making it a total of 40 mins because I wanted to feel the mask tightening up first before I rinse it off. 

The mask really felt hard on the skin when it dried up. I feel the mask vacuuming the skin on my face and I liked the feeling that I couldn't smile anymore because I feel like my face is going to crack if I smiled! Haha!

After rinsing the mask off, my skin was super red and a bit warm. I applied two drops of Argan Oil all over my face and left it like that.

Hopefully I wake up with an okay skin tomorrow. I’m not expecting too much on these items as it’s the first time I’m using them anyway. 

I'll be doing a weekly update about this new skin care routine.

and the journey begins today

As I have mentioned in the past, I have been suffering from severe hormonal imbalance. Side effects of which are irregular menstrual cycle, weight gain, break outs, etc...

I researched online and I found out that unhealthy lifestyle and diet are the main culprits. It is suggested that people suffering from hormonal imbalance to increase their intake of organic fruits and vegetables. I have to say, during my 7 day stay in the province, I had eaten nothing but organic fruits and veggies as my grandma grows them. In that time, my skin has actually been better compared to when I got back here in Manila.

I was actually advised by the OB to take in birth control pills on a monthly basis pero I don't like the idea of taking oral pills every day on a monthly basis. I tried it for 3 months and I did work but I would like to go on a more natural way of solving my problem.

I actually am in a "Fitness Diet" now. Trying to live a healthier life. Hopefully mapangatawanan ko to. I have to replace 2 meals with the fitness cereal instead and I'll eat it with my Organic Soy Milk. I never really liked soy milk but the one that I bought tastes really really good.

To help me keep up with this diet, I'll be doing a food diary here for 14 days. You can actually do this with me of course! I think it's a good way for me to make sure that the blog is updated on a more regular basis. *keeping fingers crossed*
