30 Day Challenge!!

So, it is my goal to live the most natural lifestyle I possibly can. It started with my hair but everyone was right. Once you start out with natural hair products is spreads to body and facial products and on to the food and beverages you consume. Over the next 30 days I will be making a conscious effort to replace as many products and practices in my life with a natural alternative. I will be doing in depth reviews on how the natural substitution compares with the product it has replaced. I'm excited to see how I can improve the quality of the products I use and therefore contributing to the overall health of my hair, skin and body.
I will be starting out with that I consider to hopefully be an easy task. I want to replace my facial routine with not only a natural alternative, but also a cheaper alternative. I currently use the Clinique 3-Step system.




It runs approximately $60 depending on the department store. It works well but there are a few flaws. Although my skin is blemish free my face feels dry but looks oily! I have never had oily skin before using this product. Now, my T-Zone - especially my nose and between my brows tends to be extremely shiny. The three steps consist of a cleanser,toner and moisturizer. Over the next week I will seek a suitable alternative that does the following.

1. leaves my face extremely clean and my complexion even
2. tones and tightens my pores
3. moisturizes without oil overload
4. maintains my blemish free skin
5. Costs less than half of the price of my current cleansing system

If you have any suggestions for natural facial care systems please let me know. If they are commercial products, I am attempting to avoid sulfates and parabens.
Feel free to join the challenge with me. Save money and preserve the health and beauty of your natural self!!! What are you search to replace? Let's hear it. We can all learn from each others experiences!

Happy Searching...
