Spring is finally here.  While you're busy freshening up the wardrobe and home, don't forget your skincare and face.

1.  Clean out the makeup drawer/purse/kit.
When was the last time you had a really good look inside?  Find any clogged up mascara, worn down lipsticks, gunky sponges and brushes?  If so, toss them out.  You really won’t use them again next season.  Did you continue to use them while having a cold or flu over winter?  Then toss the applicators in the bin, replace with new ones and wash your makeup brushes.  You want to avoid taking nasty bacteria into next season.  I recommend soaking in very warm, anti-bacterial dish wash or liquid hand soap; rinse thoroughly in running water and dry in the sun.

Two fabulous oils I’ve yet to cover are Sunflower and Safflower Oil.  I love these oils for cleansing.

Why?  They are high in Linoleic Acid which makes them great for all skin types i.e. dry, oily and sensitive skin.  Linoleic acid can also help oil and water mix so they are also more easily rinsed away.  Where the oils differ is in their absorption ability so I use them differently depending on the type of cleansing.
