CNQ

Testing out new roller recipes today.

Think…skin tamer meets inflammation reducer. 😍
I’m using this on a few bad psoriasis patches, but it would be perfect on any kind of skin irritations, burns, eczema, dry patches, etc.

Will you help me name this healing concoction?

Hi friends!

Please bear with me as I am building this brand. Sometimes, I forget about this IG page and post all the good stuff on my personal page.

The mission behind CNQ Beauty is to help everyday moms (like me) find ease in ditching toxins and living clean.

While I will be sharing a lot about our amazing products, I will also be sharing a lot of DIYs and education on how you can simplify the entire home and life detox process.

I hope you fine it helpful, and of course… if you ever try any of the DIYs, I’d love to hear what you think.

THE LAUNDRY ROOM!!

I have never really ever thought about the laundry room as a breeding ground for toxins. (That was my first mistake)

I’ve always been a huge advocate and educator on the importance of toxin free skincare because our skin is the largest organ and anything that goes on the skin gets absorbed into our body within 26 seconds. That was a no-brainer to me.

Well duh!!! Put 2+2 together Kim. Laundry room houses our laundry. We wear our clothes almost 24/7. Things that touch our clothes touch our skin. Yikes! That was a harsh reality for me. Time to clean up what’s being used in my laundry room.

On a scale of 1-10, how toxic do you think your laundry room is now?

It’s OFFICIAL!!!

It’s been a process, but our Etsy page should be live now.

Just finishing labels now, and these beauties are ready to go!!

Meet the first two products in the
Rose E. line. 🌹🌹🌹

They are named this because one of the main ingredients is Rosehip Seed Oil.

This oil really should be one of the 7 wonders of the world. I will go more into all its benefits in another post, but it’s truly a wonder!

This line is also named after my biggest supporter. My mama! She’s always been there for everything and deserves so much more than I could ever give her.

These two bottles are a real passion project.
One is an oil cleanser and the other a facial oil. If I weren’t concerned by the connotations, I would have called them black magic and liquid gold. 🤣

For now, I will keep it simple…

Introducing CNQs first two products:
Rose E. Oil Cleanse
Rose E. Facial Oil

New to oil cleansing?

Here are the basics:
You want to use your new cleanser on a dry face. You can squeeze a drop on your hands and rub into your face or drop right onto you face (this is how I like to do it).

Then just start massaging into your skin and little circular motions.

You will rinse it off with a washcloth and hot water. I like to get my washcloth nice and hot, ring it out, and then let it sit on my face for about 20 seconds. It’s like a little at home steam facial. Then wash off.

I usually rinse twice.

If this is your first time doing an oil cleanse, you will want to repeat steps 1-4 a second time.

It takes the skin time to adjust to oil cleansing, especially if you’ve been using water based products for a long time.
Be patient, and be prepared to fall in love!!

These are two staples found in our new facial oil.

Carrot seed oil is a powerhouse among essential oils for the skin.
It has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties. Phew… that was a mouthful!!!

Australian Sandlewood is another powerhouse. It has many healing properties, but most importantly in regards to the skin…
It hydrates dry skin and tones and tightens wrinkles. It also is very calming, both emotionally and calming to the skin. It helps even out skin tone, pigmentation, helps soothe rosacea and other skin irritations.

Our new facial oil is going to blow all others out of the water!!

“Ooh, I love the color”… was the first reaction from

Why is it black?

Activated charcoal!

AC is like a magnet for the pores.
“I don’t want the appearance of smaller pores.” Said nobody ever!

AC is a natural pore cleanser and gets deep in to remove even the nastiest of impurities. It’s detoxifying, and makes your pores look smaller! It does all this without stripping the skin of vitamins and nutrients.

AC, if used correctly, is also safe on even the most sensitive of skin.

I’ll take two bottles! 😃

The secrets out!

The official launch day will be next Friday the 13th.

I’m excited, how about you?
I’ll let you in on another secret… we might have 3 products launching!!!

Let me know below if you think we should do a launch giveaway…

A lot of you keep asking, “but what does CNQ mean?”

CNQ stands for: Called Not Qualified.
And it is in reference to God’s calling for our lives. Often times we can get so caught up in the shoulds of life…

I should be older
I should have started when I was younger.
I should have finished college.
I should be married by now.
I should own a home by 30.
Should, should, should.

I waited because I thought I wasn’t ready.
I quit because I thought I was too old to start something new.
I stopped listening because I thought God was getting it wrong.

Then I kept hearing over and over again that God doesn’t wait until you are qualified for the position to give you calling.

He gives you the calling, waits to see if you will put your faith into action and then qualifies you.

This is how CNQ was created. It started with a calling.

What is your calling?

My favorite part of small batch skincare…
creating something new!!

How beautiful is this???
Infusing oils is so fun!
