Your skin is your largest organ
What are you feeding it? -------------------- Something I would love for us to get into in this group is skincare. Not the 39-step layering routine. But what skin care represents for you. Because for me, I see it as an important and integral part of caring for ourselves. And I want to share the picture below with you all because these two products represent "food for the skin." We often talk about eating for the skin in terms of the literal food we eat. But there's a whole other category that I think is equally valuable: face oils. Depending on which one you use, your skin is getting nutrients like: - beta carotene - vitamin E - omega fatty acids (3, 6, 9 and the lesser known, 7) Personally, I love oils because they contain nutrients and they are multi-taskers for someone like me who believes in taking exquisite care of this massive organ (but who doesn't believe it should require hours or tons of products). And the extra perk is I'm reducing the chemicals I'm exposed to every day (important for that skin microbiome that protects us in so many ways). šŸ‘‰ How do you approach skin care: do you see it as separate from other forms of care? Do you have any guiding principles for skin care? P.S. the small bottle on the left is sea buckthorn seed oil.

Love it and great topic! I actually own a small handmade soap shop here in MS where everything is organic because I believe so much in skincare as well as helping folks shield themselves from harmful chemicals that are found in commercial products. I JUST made a couple of different kinds of nourishing body oils, to emphasize to people the importance of taking care of your skin -- even outside of cleansing it. I love sweet almond oil, along with pumpkin seed and jojoba, of course. I used to have a long and drawn out routine, that consisted of washing and all of that other stuff with multiple layers of products (of course that companies just insisted we needed), but now I wash my face with my handmade shea butter and black soap, spray it with something like witch hazel IF I have it on hand and if not then I just don't, then apply a few drops of nourishing oil and a small amount of shea butter. BTW Germaine, your skin really is very nice!
