Loved how you described your cold cream ritual it makes me feel the same. CO Bigelow's rose water cold cream is a little trip to heaven and contains no mineral oil. It has been around for centuries and their witch hazel and rose water toner is just as fabulous. The rose water old fashioned scent really makes one feel quite nostalgic.

Occasionally I use chemical products if I need my skin to look better for the next day, but then I spend the rest of the week battling what I had done. My skin is not very good with soaps either so I tried out the witch hazel suggestion after washing my face for the past week or so and it has been working out very(!) well so far. Thank you for the article! Very helpful! I will definitely be checking out the rest of your suggestions!! I have insannnnnnely sensitive skin.
