Hi all, I know that it is ridiculous to buy the cans of thermal water but I wanted to know if anyone has tried these and what your thoughts were? Are there any other fancy waters you’ve tried and enjoyed? I want a mist/water to rewet my face before patting in essences and someone here mentioned the centella water so I want to find out if there are other options.

I think spray toners also fall into this category? Idk, what do you think about spraying on a product before going in with essence and serums? I’m not a fan of using those on dry skin.

I want something that is fragrance free.

Fancy water and face mists?

I’m looking for a toner I can swipe on my face in the mornings or when I’m out and about to remover any dirt or excess oil(maybe before reapplying sunscreen if it’s one of those days). I’ve heard that toners can be used as a sort of cleansing step. Have you ever used one in this role? What product/type of product would you recommend for this? 

I have very normal skin, sometimes lean dry and I get hormonal acne.

Hi all. I’ve tried searching but had no luck finding a response here. What oils do you guys like for your face? I want something that I can use a couple drops of all over the face. I’m considering a squalane or marula oil. Let me know what you’ve tried before! 

I’ve previously used CEO as well as tamanu oil as the last step of my night routine and loved it but it is quite expensive. I tagged a couple that I’m curious about, let me know if you’ve tried and recommend any of those.

Face oil recommendations?

Has anyone ever layered a tinted and untinted spf product? I recently ordered the Missha bb cream which is spf 42 but I got the wrong shade. It is super dark and orange on me. I don’t want to waste it so I was wondering if I could layer it with another sunscreen that leaves a white cast on me to get a perfect shade. Let me know if you have experience doing this and which one should go first.

You will need to pair it with an oil cleanser if you are using it in the evening to remove sunscreen&#47;makeup first.

No frills super gentle and hydrating cleanser. My skin didn’t feel tight after using it(most cleansers leave me feeling tight). I used it as a second cleanse.

Texture:
It is a milky type cleanser.

The price can be prohibitive but a little goes a long way.

(Keep in mind I wasn’t using an eye cream before using this one, I would say I stopped using eye cream for about a year and just tapped in essences&#47;moisturizers) i love this product for night, i use very little and still get a lovely hydrated area around my eye(including my eye lids!). With nightly use, I’ve noticed that my concealer goes on smoother in the morning. It is pleasant to use and doesn’t hurt my eyes.

Texture:
It is super thick and leaves the area looking very hydrated&#47;brightened(due to the pale color you can see before it sinks in). Definitely a nighttime eye cream.

I love this product every day, it helps hydrate any dry patches and helps me through dry Colorado winters. My products apply better now that i use it and it is pleasant to pat in.

Texture:
It is clear and somewhat thick and sticky. I pat it onto wet skin and follow up with a moisturizer, it does not remain tacky on the skin.

Nothing bad. I wouldnt use it daily though, and I would only use it as a morning or second cleanser.

It feels very gentle but leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I use it about once a week as a second cleanse when my face feels dirty or like I have breakouts coming on. I love the feeling of using it, i don’t know that it helps much beyond that.

Texture: 
It has the consistency of honey. When you first rub it into your skin you will feel small granules gently exfoliating the skin. As you continue to rub, the granules melt away leaving behind a milky cleanser that feels very hydrating.

I don’t have anything negative to say about it.

This was my first micellar water and my favorite so far. It doesn’t have a smell and it removes ALL of my makeup, even waterproof mascara. I don’t typically cleanse my entire face with it, I use it to remove eye makeup and stubborn swatches.
