The Importance of Moisturizing!


Hi everyone! 
Sorry I have been MIA for the past couple of days. The reason why is because I got my wisdom teeth out and I have been busy with school as well. So I apologize, but I will get back to blogging every other day. Since I for disappeared for a couple of days, I decided to do a blog post on moisturizer. My friends ask me a lot about my skin care routine and why moisturizer is so important. So this is for them!

What is the point of moisturizer? 
The point of moisturizers is to re apply the moisture that was taken out of your skin after you washed your face. There are a couple of different kinds of moisturizers; a light moisturizer, a deep moisturizer, and a regular moisturizer. It really depends on your skin type whether you have dry, oily, or combo skin.  Moisturizer is the last step in your skin care routine. You should moisturize morning and night. 

Why do we need to moisturize? 
The reason we have to moisturize is to just re apply the moisture that is lost after you wash your face or when your skin feels dry.  I know I repeated this in the beginning but it is that important. People do not understand the point of slathering some cream on your face. It just helps your skin look it's best. 

What moisturizer do I suggest? 
I have two moisturizers that I love. One is the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.
This is probably my favorite moisturizer. The reason why is because it lasts forever because of the big container. Also, this moisturizer is so soothing and light weight that it doesn't even seem like you put moisturizer on your face. This moisturizer is the more expensive one but if you have problems with finding a good moisturizer, definitely try this one. The only thing that I do not like about this moisturizer is that it smells kind of funny. I do not really know how to describe the scent, but the moment you put the moisturizer on your face, the scent goes away. 

My next favorite one is the Aveeno Positively Radiance Daily Moisturizer
This one moisturizer is more affordable for anyone who does not want to spend a lot of money on a moisturizer. I really like this moisturizer because it is light weight but you can feel that it is putting moisture back into your skin. ( Can you tell that I really like light weight moisturizers?) Also, this is really important that this moisturizer has SPF. Most moisturizer do not but this one does so you do not have to add an extra step to your skin care routine. Putting on SPF is really important and this moisturizer is a 2-in-1. 

I know this is a simple blog post but I feel like everyone needs to know why we need moisturizer instead of just being told that it is good for your skin. I hope you all enjoyed today's blog post. Sorry I have been MIA but I am back! :)
Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring.
