Do you want beautiful skin? Do you want to save an insane amount of money, time, and effort on your beauty routine? Do you want to feel more confident? Yes?!? Great! Then you are in the exact right place!! I am going to share with you my surprisingly simple beauty routine that has seriously changed my life.
For the past four years, I have only used one product on my face, and I honestly don’t think I will ever return to my previous ways. Over the course of my life, I have constantly switched the products that I was using on my face. Throughout high school, I would use different face washes, lotions, creams, makeup, etc. I would constantly switch and it was usually products that could be found at any regular department store. Once I got into college, I felt that I needed to up my game, so I started spending quite a bit more money, time, and effort on my beauty routine. I also started to get adult acne that was stressing me out to say the least. This was all before switching to my new totally life changing beauty routine.
If you love doing your makeup and it is more of a passion for you, then you do you, but for me this has been life changing. If you are the type of person who loves doing your makeup, this may not apply to you. I am not. Doing my makeup completely stresses me out. I’ve never felt very confident in my makeup applying skills and would spend an ungodly amount of time trying to get it all just right. In addition to that, I seem to have some form of pre social event anxiety. I don’t know if that is actually a thing, but I, for sure, have it. Prior to any social event and I mean any, I start to totally freak out. The anxiety builds. All of a sudden my outfit, hair, and pretty much everything else wouldn’t be right. Once I’m at the actual event, I usually settle in and feel fine, but the entire time leading up to the event I freak out. Trying to perfect my makeup while feeling this overwhelmed was pretty much a nightmare for me. Fast forward to a few years later and I found out that I was pregnant. Not just pregnant but pregnant with the type of twins (Mono Mono) where I would be hospitalized to monitor the babies for 8 weeks leading up to when they would be born at 32 weeks. During my time in the hospital, I decided it was the perfect time to simplify my beauty routine since I would be strapped to a hospital bed for the majority of every day and night. This is where I had my aha moment and switched my ways. Are you ready for this amazingly simple beauty routine? It’s go time!
Step One: Wash your face with water
Step Two: Moisturize with coconut oil.
Step Three: No makeup.
Boom! I began washing my face with water. Yes, you heard that correctly. Nothing else. Water, just water. It literally doesn’t get any more simple than that. To moisturize my face, I use coconut oil.
Coconut oil is the only product that I have used in the past four years and it has completely transformed my beauty routine. You guys this is it! I have noticed far fewer breakouts, saved an insane amount of money and time, and I feel far more confident in myself. You’ve got to give this a try! You literally have nothing to lose.
A bonus side effect of using only coconut oil on my face and no longer caking on the makeup is that I started to actually love my face. I didn’t wake up feeling self conscious of my makeup free face. I slowly started to feel so much more confident because I started to always look like me. It was always my face. It looks the same every day and it feels great knowing that I look like me. Before going fully makeup free, I would never have felt confident even leaving the house without makeup. I have not worn any makeup for the past four years, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have made. I have saved so much money, time, and effort with this new beauty routine, and I feel more confident in myself.
