Brooke's Beauty Corner: Face Cleansing - The Right Way



Hello Lovely's!

Today's tip has to do with cleaning your face right. Yeah, yeah I know what you’re saying, "I've been doing that all my life, what could you possibly tell me that I don't know?" Now, if you have perfect skin, that everyone would die to have, then you most likely don’t need this. HOWEVER, if you have skin like mine, that is just such a pain in the butt to deal with, or if your child does, this might just help. 

DID YOU KNOW: Just washing your face doesn't clean the makeup, grease, grime, and dirt off your face entirely? So by only "washing" your face at night, you are still allowing all the acne causing germs to be on/in your skin. I didn’t even know how much I was missing in my daily skin care routine, until a makeup artist at Sephora clued me in!!! 

Thank goodness this is such a cheap, simple, fix. 

Olive oil is a great item to use on your hair and skin. It has all the goodies your skin and hair need to thrive. All it takes to remove your make-up, before you wash your face, is olive oil.  Take a cotton ball or tissue with olive oil on it, and wipe off all your face makeup (and eye makeup if you don’t use a specific eye makeup remover). After that just wash your face.
The following is my skin care routine for before bed; your skin type may require a slightly different regime, but the point is you do need to practice good skin care each day and night!  So choose a regime for your skin type and get started!

Brooke’s Regimen in order:

  1. olive oil: to remove makeup (if you have face-wipes, those will be fine as well)
  2. lip scrub: to remove dead skin
  3. face cleanser
  4. tonic
  5. moisturizer

When using a face wash, you want something with a bit of grit to it (unless you have like... super sensitive skin); this will enable you to get more of the grime out of your pores - ensuring you a cleaner face. Be careful when using an astringent/tonic… a lot of the store bought one's have extremely harsh chemicals that can actually damage your skin. (I have yet to find a homemade astringent I like, if you have any idea's let me know?) Then use a moisturizer. You don’t need to slather on a thick layer either. A pea sized amount of moisturizer should cover your whole face. If you use a cream or medicine on your face, use that before moisturizing.

Here’s to flawless faces and skin that can breathe,
Brooke

Giveaway: Fred's Smart Card - Preloaded w/500 Points!


In April, Fred’s launched its first loyalty/rewards card called the “smartcard.”  Shoppers who show their smartcards when checking out receive points on all Fred’s Brand items they purchase. These points are redeemed quarterly, and the resulting “smartbucks” spend like cash – good for anything in the store.  July 26 will be the first points redemption; so you'll want to sign up now for a Fred's smartcard and starting racking up those points for July 26th!  I think you must pick a card up in the store first, and then go online to register it... and when you do register it you will get an instant 200 points!

And now for the good part!  Fred's has graciously offered one My Memphis Mommy reader a PRE-LOADED Fred's smartcard!!  It has 500 points loaded on it, which is the equivalent of $20!  You can use these points on/after July 26th for anything in the store!

Enter here for you chance to win:
