Didn't remove all my makeup like a good cleanser should and left my skin feeling like it needed to be cleansed again. 

I've been in the beauty industry for over 22 years now as a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician and professional makeup artist. I'm teased because of my love for products and how excited I get when I have the opportunity to try something new so when Byoma was the very first review round I was accepted for after joining the beautytap community I was really stoked because I'd not heard of the brand at all. I ended up really liking the majority of products I was given the opportunity to try so when I received the BYOMA Melting Balm Cleanser I was really excited to give it a go, unfortunately it did not make it to my holy grail list. Mainly because it did not break down my makeup like a cleanser should and left me feeling like I hadn't cleansed my face. I do however have a pre-teen son who is getting to the age where he's picking up a bit of a skincare routine for himself and this actually worked wonderfully for him as he's still quite young and very nervous about getting soap in his eyes, it applies for him very easily and rinses even easier. So I would recommend this for teen boys or girls who do not wear makeup and need a gentle cleanser.

I bought a huge pack of these sheet masks years ago on Amazon, when the sheet mask craze started really. They were a Xmas gift for my then teenage daughter who was really into kbeauty (before that craze began). I'll be honest here.. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician and professional makeup artist for over 23 year's now and I really thought these were a good buy for how many you got and the ingredient list seemed clean but I didn't think they be anything great. Well they began the sheet mask/face mask collecting in my house. I had 3 girls at the time only one was into her teens but the others were close. Still to this day we love collecting sheet masks and continuously keep quite a large collection even while using them. This was a great buy.. 

The only thing bad about this mask is the mess it can make and the time it takes to remove it. 

I'm a professional esthetician so I can be picky about products obviously, I bought this mask during one of boxycharms monthly sales along with their detox mask just because of the discounted price and I have 3 teen girls who go through beauty products like water, I was really surprised how much we all liked both masks. I personally like this one for my skin.. It left my skin feeling fresh and really clean, brighter and smoother. I typically don't like these types of masks and the mess they make, especially when it comes to washing them off but I've been continuing to use it every now and then. 

The only thing bad I find about this product is that it's sold to the public, I personally think you need to be a professional to be dermaplanning the face under any circumstances and at home kits like this can result in horrible results, scarring a face for life. 

I've been a professional esthetician for 22 years and while I don't recommend a non-professional dermaplanning at home I know it's being done more often then I care to think about. First let me say dermaplanning without being trained and educated can result in really bad results that while last a lifetime. I personally don't think it's worth the risk of DIY.. With that being said I was given the opportunity to try this through beautytap official and Fieldtrip Skincare for my honest review and I really liked the box set for my own personal use at home, as a trained esthetician with certification in dermaplanning. It was convenient, worked well, had a good grip and gave me decent results. While it's not as fine bladed as the professional blades we use in spa it doesn't get quite as much dead skin off but thats OK for a at home dermaplanning kit. 

Byomas hydrating serum sadly was not a great product for me personally which really bummed me out after LOVING the cleanser so much!!! I live in Florida. on the West Coast Gulf of Mexico and our family is always in the water or on the water... It's extremely humid and always sticky and hot. After using the serum it left my skin feeling sticky, I attempted giving it more time to absorb but still felt sticky, like a layer of jelly was coated on my face which in this humidity is not comfortable. I do however have combo skin that errs more on the oily side the older I get, so I feel that my specific skin type isn't what this serum was geared towards but more to the type of my teenage girls who don't follow such a strict regimen with their skincare routine just yet... I did use it recently on a few of my daughters friends who I styled for Prom, and it worked really well as priming base pre makeup application with two girls who had dry flaky skin that I thought would be a real nightmare getting a flawless complexion and glow for… Great product for those dryer types who need extra hydration and again a really great price point. also love that this line is available in Target stores, so teens have easier access to purchase and a HUGE shout-out to Byoma for the way they have the ingredients listed, so even a 12-year-old can understand them and even better is how they list order of product application!!!
