Canadian lifestyle blog
I’m sure you all know by now that I have an obsession with skincare and soap companies. So naturally, I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to try out some products from Canadian company, Rocky Mountain Soap Co.
One of my favourite things that I learned about them, is that all of their products are toxin-free and made with 100% natural ingredients. When I found this out, I was even more excited to try their products out.
‘Tis the season for giving… and for dry skin! I don’t know about you, but winter always wrecks havoc on my temperamental skin.
I have combination skin that is sensitive and can be acne prone. A lot of skin products give me rashes or cause my breakouts to get worse. I struggle with this more in the winter because my skin gets so dry and when I use moisturizer I’ll break out.
This was why I was so excited when Trueskin.ca offered to help a girl out and send me and one of my readers a skincare kit!
I’m sure you’re all aware by now that fall is my favourite time of year. (Exhibit A, B and C.) One of the many reasons why I love fall so much is the weather + fashion. Personally, I don’t do well in extreme cold/heat and I *love* dressing in layers – fall weather is just perfect for this! I find that I have more freedom with my outfit choices in the fall; I can wear layers without having to worry about bundling up or being too hot, it’s still warm enough to wear skirts and tights and it’s sweater weather!
The only problem is however that my bank account kind of gets a little abused in fall… (Does anyone else have this problem?!) Since it’s my favourite time of the year for fashion I just can’t help myself when it comes to shopping the new collections and trends! My bad.
Time for a bit of #RealTalk guys. I’ll be the first to admit that my skin is problematic. I’ve written about it before and how its pretty sensitive and acne prone. It hasn’t always been a struggle for me, as a teenage I never had problems with my skin. Aside from sensitivities (a lot of products would give me rashes but it wasn’t anything that a Benadryl couldn’t take care of) I never experienced any bad breakouts, just one odd pimple every so often. I think this is one of the reasons that I find it such a struggle now. It’s simply just not fun to have breakouts in your mid to late twenties like you’re 16.
In the past, I’ve mentioned some products here and there that I truly love and that had a drastic impact on my skin such as my favourite face masks and raving about Aide Bodycare’s facial serum (seriously, it rocks!), but I have yet to dedicate an entire post to these products so I thought that it was about time I wrote one.
