Pamper-me-day products:
Mask - http://www.lauramercier.com/products/skincare/masks/face/deep_cleansing_clay_mask/
NOTE: Please remember I have normal skin. There are masks for every skin type so choose one for YOUR type. If you don't know your type...maybe you can visit an esthetician who can tell you your type. I used a few different ones until I started using this one regularly. I like how tight it makes my face feel and how smooth.

Why lemon and hot water? My mother used to do it every morning. She said my Grandmother did it every morning too. I don't know if my Grandmother does...I'll have to remember to ask her. I've never been at my Grandmother's house when she first woke up. LOL!
My mother told me it helped speed up getting rid of impurities in our bodies. Her skin was always flawless and her hair was thick and gorgeous. Every morning before she ate anything or relieved herself she drank it. I feel much better when I do it regularly.
Most folks drink coffee first thing...I drink hot water and lemon. :)
It also helps with your digestion and speeds up your...erra...elimination process. :)
I do the mask weekly and I do the scrub when I wash my face on a day I've worn make-up as well as during my weekly at home spa day. The body scrub is weekly too. That scrub is warming so it's an interesting sensation on your skin.
I usually use a shea butter body cream that I buy from Whole Foods by Jason Organics but this weekend I used one I bought at the Beauty Night Out event by this company: http://store.africansheabuttercompany.com/sheabodycreams.html
What do YOU guys use? Folks sent me emails asking me which of these products I used after I posted about my day Saturday. What do you guys use and why do you use it? Did you try a bunch of other stuff prior to finding the perfect thing for you? Please put your skin type in the comment so folks with skin like yours can benefit.
