So we all know I live on a budget. One of the things I have sacrificed is super expensive beauty products. I do love my mineral makeup...that's one of my splurge items. Truth be told, one of the reasons I departed from my super expensive beauty routine is because I hit 30 and my skin decided it didn't like what I was doing. I was cursed with dreaded adult acne. My punishment for having clear skin as a teenager, apparently. I tried everything from Proactiv to Noxema. Salicylic acid to benzoyl peroxide. Then when I was pregnant with Squeaks and cut out harsh chemicals, I realized that they were ravishing my skin and I had less breakouts without "medicated" cleansers. My skin does so much better with gentle products. Enter a newish line called "Simple."
It is super gentle, has a variety of products and doesn't break out or dry out my skin! I love the smoothing cleanser. It has gentle enough exfoliation to use twice a day. I also love the daily lotion. I've tried the night cream and cleansing cloths. LOVE them all.
Best part is they are found everywhere and there are almost always coupons around. Occasionally there are also stacks available at Target, Walgreens, etc...
Bonus:
*According to
Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database, the products I use daily are below "4"
*They are gentle enough that I can let Doodle use them on occasions when she has to wear makeup for dance.
