A challenge of the FACE!

It's FRIDAY everyone!!  The weather's been looking up here in Ohio and I am on a small break from classes...summer is around the corner and some much needed relaxation and QT with my hubby is on the horizon!  Because I have an amazing husband that takes care of us through and through, he has had a second job for quite some time now to save some extra cash for...well...life.  So long story short, I feel like we see each other for a couple hours at a time in which most of those hours are either spent sorting out building our first house and not going broke in the process, trying to create a human being, running circles around our high maintenance dog, maintaining our sanity and keeping the rest of our shit together and whatever time is left...sleeping.  So it will be nice to get my husband back for awhile or at least until he decides to throw something else on his plate.

Now that I have rambled on...I will get to today's post!  My skin has been in a meltdown for quite some time now.  Nothing I seem to do to is helping and like the true woman I am....I bitch about it!  While in bitching mode one day my clever husband says to me, "have you ever thought that it's because you use way too many products on your face...why don't you just try using less." I will admit that my day and night skincare routine somewhat resembles a spa treatment with a ridiculous amount of products but isn't that how all woman attempt to stay young and beautiful??  So like the makeup/skincare geek that I am, I went online and started researching the ingredients that were in the products I use and I found nothing positive.  Come to find out that almost every single thing I use has some sort of pore clogging or skin irritating ingredient in it.  So I've decided to entertain the idea of a minimalist face routine for the next week and a half to see if I have truly been sabotaging my own face.  I will update with before and after pictures when the verdict is in. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
