I would love to try that but every time I use any kind of oil on my face at night I break out. I will check into yours.
Which one did you get?
I have tried coconut oil, vitamin E oil, and almond. All no good for me. Heck I break out from Collagen lotions. The lavender in yours must jut be a scent for the carrier oils.
If you haven't reacted well to almond, then you wouldn't like mine. Perhaps try the rosehip oil as the poster above suggested.
The one I have been laughing at for the last 50 years - you are more likely to cut yourself using a dull razor than a new one (legs). The blood streaming down my legs whenever I use a new razor says otherwise.
Also, how about, if you have a prominent nose, use lighter foundation down the center to make it less noticeable. That's fine, but when you turn sideways, the cat's out of the bag.
When I was much younger, I was told to “tone” my face after cleansing. I never knew what “toning” was supposed to do, but it involved a liquid that had alcohol in it, and it stung and burned my skin.
So, I simply finished with a little water.
No one needs harsh substances on one’s face. I just ignored that rec and proceded with cleanser and moisturizer.
In the 1980s most women came into contact with the Color Me Beautiful book that told us what “season” we were, and recommended a color palette for us. I am a Spring, and I learned a lot from reading that book. I know I look best in warm colors, and this knowledge has been helpful with choosing clothing and cosmetics. But I have also learned that I am happy wearing denim in almost any form, and chambray. I don’t care if they aren’t Spring colors. I love wearing them too much to give them up. Same with gray. I prefer it for me over black, which seemed like the universal color for everyone for awhile. So, I wear denims, chambrays and grays with pleasure, and don’t worry about always wearing Spring colors, which often aren’t available anyway.
Toners are supposed to remove any debris left after cleansing and tightening pores. There are also toners that use witch hazel instead of alcohol now.
Using face cleanser 2x a day (morning and night). I still use it at night but I don't see the point in stripping the moisture off my face in morning when all I did was sleep. So I started skipping morning wash. Just splash water on my face in morning and call it a day. I like it.

While I agree the season/color palette does point out most attractive colors for a woman to work with, I too would never stick to that just because a book said to do so. I wear anything I like, like you, silib....the only color I avoid is a dungy yellow that makes my skin really sallow as well as beige. Taupe yes, not beige.
Hopefully no one sticks exclusively to the book suggestions....

If you are breaking out over night that suggest an allergy. Pimples typically don't originate on that kind of time scale.
I'm a Spring, too, but I sampled a couple of other color theories besides the book. Apparently, denim blue works for all color types/seasons, which could explain its widespread popularity.
Beauty myth: brush your hair 100 strokes a day.
This used to be good advice, when women had long hair and didn't wash it often, maybe only once a month.
Brushing it over and over moves the oils from your scalp all the way down to the dry ends of your hair, leaving it all evenly moisturized.
But if you wash your hair every day, there is really no point.
I agree. When I had long hair I never did all that brushing. Pointless.

When I did try to stick to those suggestions, many years ago, I just ended up wearing a lot of ecru. For years spring colors were barely available.
So, yeah, use the knowledge, but don’t be a slave to it.
