Everyone has their beauty ideal they wish to achieve. Mine has always been a natural dewy look, which brings me to natural beauty what it means to me. Below are the qualities I believe someone who evokes natural beauty embodies:
1. An appreciation for life! An ability to find meaning in a simple, fleeting moment just as easily as they can in a large-scale or life changing one…
2. A love for real food; which means enjoying your indulgences but also understand the importance of a balanced diet and quality of food.
3. A desire to challenge their mind and body. Expanding one's understanding via books and art or trying a new workout or a yoga pose. Value both physical and cognitive growth.
4. An attempt to exudes kindness and warmth to everyone.
5. An ability to walk out the door, with confidence and ready to conquer the world, every day!
I have never really been a 'make up' person. My friends and colleagues have often told me how 'brave' I am to step out 'au naturale' aka without an ounce of make up. Having lived over a decade in U.S. I have a better understanding of the insecurities and the relationship women have with makeup. I realize a lot of it stems from ours culture and upbringing. Personally, since I was brought up in an environment where no one ever applied make up unless they were attending a wedding, it never felt like a 'brave' move on my part to live sans make up. However it did encourage me to take better care of my skin as that is the only armor I wore. I have extensively researched and opted for products which are The Perfect Fit for All Over Beauty. Now as the weather is transitioning, so is my skin. I have been using the AVEENO Positively Radiant collection. It contains ingredients such as tone-evening ACTIVE NATURALS® Total Soy Complex which brighten the skin for a flawless radiance, which I crave the most!
AVEENO Positively Radiant - Daily Cleansing Pads
I recently discovered these pads and I have been obsessed with them ever since. These dual-textured cleansing pads gently exfoliate and lift away dirt, oil and makeup to leave skin soft, smooth and even-looking. I use them every night as the first step in my cleaning process.
Formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® moisture-rich soy extract, these pads help improve skin tone, texture and clarity, leaving your skin looking luminous. They’re also oil free, soap free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic.
AVEENO Positively Radiant - Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
I have sensitive skin, and while this is a daily scrub I use it only two to three times a week. I use it in my morning skin care regime. This scrub helps improve skin tone, texture and clarity.
The naturally derived granules gently exfoliate while you cleanse, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and looking luminous. It’s oil free, soap free, noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores), and hypoallergenic.
AVEENO Positively Radiant - Brightening Cleanser
I follow up with this cleanser after the scrub in the morning. And just like the scrub this too helps improve skin tone, texture and clarity.
OGX - Argan Dry Oil
All opinions mentioned are my own.
Older I get the less make up I wear. Having clean fresh skin. Healthy skin by eating right and using natural products is what works best.
ReplyDeleteI love aveeno products!
ReplyDeleteA love for real food, haha. I need to work on that. I have a couple of these products because I really do like the Aveeno brand.

I certainly agree with your belief's in natural beauty, each of those qualities really enhances a person's life! I've not tried any of these products yet but they all sound great and also very fuss-free, I like that. I have recently tried shampoo and condition which has the same little logo as on the bottom of these products which I've really enjoyed so I may check them out!
ReplyDeleteI love Aveeno products, especially their lotions. And I love how you describe what evokes natural beauty. I strive every to be those things. I rarely wear makeup as well because I rarely saw my mom wear. I hope to teach my girls that although there is nothing wrong with wearing makeup, they don't need it to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love Aveeno products, but I haven't tried all of these! You skin is beautiful! I've learned to love my natural skin more and more every year. :)
ReplyDeleteNumbers 4 and 5 I totally agree are spot on. I like aveeno too.
ReplyDeleteI love Aveeno products and they are just perfect for dry skin like mine. You are looking great there.
ReplyDeleteLove that argan oil spray by OGX, I have it too! xo, Suzanne
ReplyDeleteI've used Aveeno products before. I'm glad you found something that helps you create that dewey look, they are good quality products.
ReplyDeleteI love finding natural ways to problem solve, especially with it comes to skin care and body care. Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteI really love Aveeno products. I really like to try Aveeno daily scrub and the brightening cleanser. When it comes to skin care regimen Aveeno is my first choice.
ReplyDeleteI actually have at home a sample of one of the Aveeno cremes for dry hands but I didn't got a chance to try it out yet. I did hear that they are very good though. I guess I am waiting for winter to come to try it, when my hands really need it :)
ReplyDeleteI love using natural products and sometimes, i do my DIY at home particularly the body scrubs, lotions and moisturizers.
ReplyDeleteI also used Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads, and these pads really works, make your skin soft, smooth, clear skin. Super clean, but not overly dry.

i really love Aveeno. I use this product for my little one and it leaves his skin so soft, smooth and smell so good. Love to try their cleansing pad. Looking forward to these.
ReplyDeleteI love aveeno but haven't used them in years. I used to love those cleansing pads.
ReplyDeleteI’m not a makeup person either! As long as my skin is clean I’ll go the natural way! Aveeno has great products.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that when it comes to skincare, I might be the last person to apply anything on my skin! I need to start my skincare regime soon! I have heard a lot about this brand but never tried it!
ReplyDeleteI am very lazy when it comes to beauty and not intentionally though. Your tips are worth reading and following especially the beauty from inside part. Let me check on Aveeno too
ReplyDeleteI love Aveeno products. i have their lotions and it's just awesome. It keeps my skin smoothe and replenished. My skin tends to strip alot and i also have exczema so it's perfect for my horrible skin lol. I can wait to try out their other products.
ReplyDeleteThe older I get, the more I realize how beautiful I am without makeup. I used to always have to wear makeup to work and now I don’t care anymore. Take me for who I am!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the dry oil before or the pads but I have tried the cleansers and I love them. I will have to look for the pads.
ReplyDeleteThe argean oil looks like a good item to pick up. I am with you too - I like the natural look and actually feel like I look younger with no or little makeup (and I'm 41).
ReplyDeleteLove natural products and these look great. I feel better when I use them too!
ReplyDeleteTanvi natural face has been one of your outstanding qualities - I so admire that about you amidst a sea of others! I started playing with makeup 8yrs ago as a hobby and it became a part of my life - i have noticed I use it more when I want to mask something (like my weight or mood or bad skin) - now I am investing in good skincare and it feels so so good to have that as an armor ! Thanks for the post!
