I have personally suffered from troubled skin all of my life. I have combination sensitive, acne prone, and also have the beginnings of roscea.

Great video! You look beautiful!! 🙂
Actually, I think it kind of smells like hairspray. I don't know what's in it that makes it smell like that, but that's why I don't like it. I have a couple of other things from Aubrey Organics that I think smell fine.
Love the video!
Helloooooo there!
Could you do a video about your favorite bar soap companies?
This video is soooo helpful! Thank you so much for making it 🙂 I'm getting older and trying to focus more of my efforts on my skin so I'm gonna have to try some of this stuff out!
Thayer's Witch Hazel looks really nice. I really like the idea of rose water. You looks very nice with the pop of color on your lips and the flower in your hair- very pretty!
hey i got the Aubrey Organics Mask and Scrub Jojoba Meal and Oatmeal With Rosa Mosqueta based on your recommendation! how many time would you recommend using it a week? also do you know anything about mixing your toner with glycerin? I am wondering if the edible vegetable glycerin is okay to be used? thank you
I will have to try the other spf moisturizer you showed! devita is my hg product!!
Such a pretty look you're wearing here. interesting video.
P.S. I love the Aubrey Mineral Water–great price too.
So happy I found your channel. I recently gave away my make-up collection and started over with cruelty-free / vegan make-up. I will definitely be buying your products and making videos on my own channel to help spread the word <3
You look beautiful!
love this video 🙂 and you look so pretty 🙂
I have used Dr. Woods liquid castile soap…do they make bar soap? I just like bar as opposed to liquid for washing my face..it feels gentler on the skin and lasts longer for me.
thank you very much:) glad to help!
thank you!
the dr. bronners is decent for dry skin…I'm going to try out a few different ones that are more moisturizing without palm oil and I'll update you guys. I think the raw shea butter soap from Nubian heritage sounds promising…shea butter is great for dry skin and it is the main ingredients.
that is great, the more videos the better! Vegan products are wonderful and high quality:)
the price is a steal for how much you get..really helps hydrate and keep a makeup look from appearing too powdery.
thank you:) I have been back into my red lipstick, not that I ever really stop wearing it lol.
you will love it…it smells really good too because of the berry extracts in it:)
I use it every other day, alternating with my loofah exfoiliating pads. The toner I recommend already has vegetable glycerin in it, so I wouldn't see a need to add more? Glycerin is water soluable though, so it wouldn't hurt the product to add a bit more if you want. Vegetable glycerin, the kind you get from a beauty supply store or at the drugstore is cosmetically approved for us on the skin.
I like Dr. Woods for cleaning…I find liquid soaps tend to dry me out, but it could be because I live in a very dry climate.
you'd really like it Jenn…its great for most skin types and I love that its not drying like alcohol based ones.
I'm glad to help…I really love all the products I recommended and they've helped my skin out quite a bit.
Maybe I'll do a blog post? I don't have a huge amount that I absolutely love, but maybe when I try out a few more I will. I want to try out a wide variety this year, ones without palm oil, and do a comparison video or blog post.
thank you!
Oil cleansing isn't something I do anymore. I think I just never found the right combo of oils for me. I would consider doing it once a week, but I found that doing it made me break out a bit because I was using extra virgin olive oil and nothing else….its a very thick oil for oil cleansining. I would try out a combo of jojoba and castor oil if I did it again, I think that would be more deep cleaning and jojoba is most like the skin's natural sebum.
I'm not embarrassed about my skin problems, no worries. I just want to help people who have the same issues as myself:)
lavender shea anything sounds good:)
🙂 thank you!
Can you use bar soap with a face brush like the Clarisonic?
my boyfriend and I started making our own cold press vegan bar soap. we are against using palm oil as well! If you are inserted, I can mail you a sample of our soap. I also make vegan/ natural deodorant.
Skin product companies want people to give their products a try to show how good they are.
Have you ever noticed a skin care stand set-up in your local mall offering free test products?
Well i just found a website that will send Free trials to your home, its the best way to get free skin products 🙂
Have a look here bit.ly/1bfF7Wk?v=tremn
So bar soap isn't too harsh for the face?
Apple cider vinegar, smells horrible, works wonders. Thank me later.
