Clean Beauty DIY: Floral Facial Serum Using Natural Ingredients

Clean Beauty DIY: Floral Facial Serum Using Natural Ingredients
Do you struggle with dry skin on your face? Did you know that flowers have tons of natural benefits for your skin?
I recently formulated this floral facial serum and have been loving how my skin feels after using it! My forehead gets especially dry over the winter, to the point where the dry skin starts flaking off.
Yes, I know, I should exfoliate and moisturize and do whatever else to my skin more often to head this off. But ... I don't. Skin care has never been a huge priority for me.
That's one reason I am loving this serum. A few drops, rub it in, and enjoy my improved skin!

Meet Melissa Denelsbeck

 

For years, I was trapped in a fog, never feeling 100%, always tired but too stressed out to get a good night’s sleep, struggling through headaches 3-4 times each week. Almost every afternoon at work, I would hit that mid-afternoon slump and be unable to keep my eyes open. Often, my headaches would start around this same time and last through the rest of the day. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep, but when I went to bed, my thoughts would race, and I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of fatigue – tired all day and wide awake at night, and the headaches just made it all more difficult to deal with. I pushed on as well as I could through the sleepiness and the pain, but I never felt like I was functioning at full capacity.

Then, I started making some changes in my life and becoming aware of what I was putting in and on my body. Over time, I realized that my headaches were becoming less frequent, and my sleep quality, energy, and mental clarity were improving.

Now, a couple years later, I feel my energy levels remain steady from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I am able to quiet my anxious thoughts and fall asleep quickly at night. And the headaches? They’re so infrequent that I can’t even say how often they come – maybe 3-5 a year?

It wasn’t even that difficult a change to make. I just swapped out products in my life that were contributing to my bad health, and I replaced them with versions that enhance my wellness instead.

It’s a step-by-step process that you can take at your own pace, and I am here to be your guide on the journey and empower you to take back your own health!
