Personal Cosmetic Rituals
In the world of beauty, finding the perfect balance between natural and conventional products can be a daunting task. One individual, whose identity remains unknown, has shared their daily beauty routine, offering insights into their approach to maintaining a youthful and radiant appearance.
This mystery figure starts their day with oil pulling, a practice involving swishing coconut oil in the mouth for a few minutes each morning. This ancient technique is believed to keep teeth white and detoxify the body. Afterwards, they maintain their skin with Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic, an anti-aging, multi-purpose cream that aids in healing skin damage and reducing sun spots.
Post-workout, the routine continues with a face wash, specifically Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Face Wash. The emphasis on cleanliness is a constant theme, as the individual also uses Herbal Essences tapioca-based dry shampoo when their hair gets oily between washes.
When it comes to makeup, the routine is surprisingly minimalist. The speaker's regular makeup consists of eyeliner, mascara, and lip balm. For a fancier look, they might opt for Tarte brightening primer, NARS sheer glow foundation, Tarte cheek stain, Maybelline gel eyeliner, Jordana mascara, Burt's Bees lip balm, and Burt's Bees lip shimmer in Champagne.
The hairstyle choices are equally simple, with three go-to styles: a messy braid, a topknot, and loose waves. The topknot is achieved with a spongey donut, while the hair is teased slightly to add volume and keep curls in place.
In the evening, the routine involves using Burt's Bees facial cloths to cleanse and remove makeup, followed by a generous application of Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic for moisturizing. In the morning, the individual mixes apple cider vinegar with lemon juice and water, and uses rose water to tone their skin. Grape seed oil serves as a versatile product, used as a body lotion, shaving cream, and even in place of conditioner.
The individual washes their hair only about twice a week, and is considering experimenting with baking soda as a natural shampoo alternative.
In keeping with their commitment to self-care, the individual emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated, getting good sleep, sweating regularly, laughing a lot, and avoiding sugar, dairy, and flour. They also encourage readers to share their own beauty tips or tricks in the comments section, fostering a community of self-care and celebration.
