Happy Facial Monday! + Giveaway!!!

Hurray, it is Monday again!

How was your week? I hope you enjoyed the amazing results you experienced from masking! I bet you have a new face today with less fine-lines and wrinkles...not saying you have any, smaller pores, and skin that is glowing!!!

I have been busy running around here today, getting ready for a spa party in Leavenworth, WA, and haven't even gotten to my facial today! But never fear, I have a plan for a bubble bath and a facial before bed...doesn't that sound heavenly!

So our focus for today is toner! Surely that is a step you can skip, right? No way, let me tell you why! Toner is a step that will not only save you money but it will also save you time. I know what you are thinking, how can another step save me time? Well, the toner's job is to prepare your skin for repair products and moisture. It does this by balancing your skin's PH and hydrating your skin. By balancing and hydrating, your skin is ready for the next step and will need to absorb less, therefore you will use less. This saves you time and money. Toner is also great for skin that is exposed to the sun. Spritz a little on after being outside and your skin will feel cooler, moisturized, and the skin cells will begin to repair from the sun's damage!

Important note: Find a toner that doesn't have alcohol in it! This is very important. Toner needs to hydrate your skin not cause extra drying!

Well, my bags are packed, I am ready to go....

One last thing, don't forget about the skincare challenge and giveaway. I would love for you to receive a free basic skincare package. See Skincare Challenge post for more details and rules!
