Skincare at any age can be simple and natural. Thankfully, I found hope at 40, after being forced to find my own skincare routine. My esthetician told me very bluntly that I wasn’t getting younger and I needed to start a skin care routine, before it was too late. I cringed. I told her I was hopeless. I shared these concerns with my friend Eren, the founder of The Home Farm. She told me to try her two products to tackle my problem. I agreed, with much skepticism. After two weeks I was thrilled to announce I had no outbreaks. Three years later, I have the best anti-aging skin care routine at 40, with no breakouts.
Here is my simple and favorite skincare routine. I start every morning with a shower. Prior to my shower I clean my face with our Cleansing Oil. I apply 1 dropper full to face, massage in a circular motion. I then hop in the shower and remove with warm wash cloth.
Once I step out of the shower and dry off, I finish up my facial skin-care routine. I start with The Home Farm’s Rose Cleanser and Toner. I spray 3 spritzes of our Rose Toner. Then, using clean hands, I massage a small amount of The Home Farm Argan Oil into my face and neck. I repeat the same routine in the evening (I might skip the shower part).
Here’s what I love about these products: I can pronounce the ingredients, they are 100% natural and organic, their packaging is zero waste,and I know their source. It is finally possible to have simple skin care essentials in your medicine cabinet that are safe and clean for you and the planet.
