Apart from food and shelter, some women consider products related to their health regimen a necessity.  Mine includes body lotion, facial moisturizer, eye cream, and sunblock.  Although my busy schedule sometimes make me skip the twice a day routine, I still manage to do my beauty regimen once everyday.  Since most of these don’t come cheap, I try to get the best deals for my purchases.  Whenever promos or discounts are available, I usually buy more than the regular quantity to save up for future use.  If there are no discounts available, I just make sure I get the best price in the market.

Most of these purchases I already do online regularly.  I know it may be hard to believe for some, but I still get the best deals online.  I get the best assistance with my health and beauty products at ShopWiki.  Unlike other shopping guides, ShopWiki scours the entire cyberspace to find the best deal for me.  Others simply display results of those who have made ad placements with them.  ShopWiki aims to provide its users the best deals in the web and makes sure they get the best-priced product displayed in your search panel.

I’m not excluding men who have their health and beauty regimen too.  I know that the trend now includes men who take care of their skin as much as their health.  Although they don’t put on as much as women, it’s not a girl thing anymore.  ShopWiki can also filter out health and beauty products for men in a flash.  That’s what I love about ShopWiki — whatever you need, no matter how unusual or irregular, they will find it for you.

Ever wondered if there is something out there that works just as well as your facial moisturizer that wouldn’t cost you a hand and a foot?  Apparently, the best facial moisturizer can be found in nature.  Many women attest that Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is just as good as the most expensive moisturizer in the market.  Olive oil breaks oil from the skin and contains Vitamin A and E, anti-oxidants, and minerals.

What you need is  EVOO (the one from your kitchen will do as long as it’s extra virgin) and a warm washcloth.  First, wash your face with water and pat dry.  Then, massage EVOO on your face and let it stay for a few minutes (remember to use sparingly — don’t put too much).  After allowing the EVOO to break down the oil on your face, put a warm washcloth over your face and let the steam clean out your pores.  Finally, wipe your face with the washcloth to remove the excess oil.

After this, you will feel that your face is soft and clean.  Despite the olive oil you just put on your face, it will not feel greasy at all.  When you wake up the next day, you will see that it did moisturize your face just like your favorite moisturizer.  By the way, during very hot or humid days, it may be good to use a mild facial cleanser to remove the olive oil instead of just wiping it off with a washcloth.

Trying out different moisturizers to find out what type your face responds to can be very frustrating.  I’ve taken a shot at several brands.  Most would give me breakouts don’t seem to have any effect at all. The answer is in nature itself.
