As I mentioned in last week’s video post, doing a few webisode-style posts is definitely something I’m going to be tackling more often! A huge part of my life is obviously devoted to fashion, but I’ve always been a big fitness, beauty, lifestyle and music person as well, and I really feel like film is really the best media to share these other interests with all of you!
Anyway, this week it’s all about skin care. I’m actually not blessed genetically with the most trouble-free skin. I’ve learnt to be extraordinarily meticulous when it comes to my skin care routine and through many episodes of trial and error, I feel like I’m getting closer to understanding how my skin works and how to treat it best (and most importantly, I’ve grown to feel confident in it and limit how much makeup I use!).
Like most other things (fitness, diet and even fashion), with skin care, it’s really not rocket science. Don’t dehydrate your face (something oily-skinned girls may feel compelled to do, but don’t – it backfires!), let your skin breathe and feed it well with proper nutrients and water.
Hopefully you like the video – as always, any feedback would be amazing! You can find most of the products featured and many more at eBeauty.ca, my go-to beauty and skin care mecca.
Thanks for sharing Alex, these are all great tips! I will need to try the facial scrub for sure

I find that I have to change my skin care regimen every few Months, unfortunately, so I'm always looking for new products. These are my favorite types of posts!

So wonderful this video and great great tips. I will like to try that Jurlique oil, I use only oil for my face . It was a pleasure to see you in this video Alexandra!
What a great video. Your tips are helpful, but the beautiful style of the video is especially impressive. Keep up the video blogging, girl. It's awesome. (It's a goal of mine this year, but I haven't really gotten started.)
