I saw on YesStyle that there's a new Purito sunscreen available for pre-order, with the official release date the 15th of Sep! 
It's called "Daily Go-To Sunscreen" and it's a hybrid with both chemical and physical filters.

Will this version be the new holy grail for people? I never tried the one that had to be recalled but apparently it was extremely popular, so I'm keen to see what those of you who tried the old one think of the new one. 😃

Will you be trying it? Did you use the old one?

$1 Be The Skin BHA+ PORE ZERO Serum !!!!

YesStyle Rewards Code: GDAYEVELYN

Not exactly "BAD" but minor gripes that could be improved:

💮 I would find it easier to unfold the mask if the stiff film was the entire size of the mask rather than half the size. I have used a similar mask with a stiff film folded with the sheet and I found I was able to unfold it quicker and easier than this one. Obviously this didn’t stop me unfolding it but if choosing between two similar products, I highly consider ease of use.

💮 The only other thing is the nose area. I’m not the only one with a large sniffer so I would love the nose area to be a bit bigger. My nose is one area more prone to breaking out (as I’ve seen in my kids sometimes too) so the sheet covering that whole area would be beneficial.

💮 ROVECTIN LOTUS WATER CALMING SHEET MASK 💮


⚠️ I received this product for free from Picky and Rovectin in exchange for my honest review.


❓ What is it?

☑️ This is a water-gel sheet mask that instantly calms and soothes irritated skin while providing long-lasting hydration.
☑️ It is cruelty-free, vegan, hypoallergenic and clean (free of toxic ingredients).


❓Key ingredients?

🌿 Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus Flower) Extract (52%) – gently calms and soothes skin. Moisturises and hydrates skin.

🌿 Houttuynia Cordata (Fish Mint) Extract – calms irritated skin.

🌿 Aquaxyl (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol and Xylitol) – deeply moisturises and hydrates skin. Long-lasting.

🌿 Glutathione – Clears and brightens skin. Repairs free-radical damage.


👍 Pros?

☑️ Comfortable, near-perfect fit. It fits snuggly to allow essence to absorb evenly and deeper in the skin. I find it hard to find masks that fit properly so this is ideal.

☑️ No sticky, thick, heavy texture. Essence is smooth and doesn’t sit on my skin for ages after removing the mask. I love that it absorbs quickly and easily. Feels lovely and refreshing.

☑️ Calming and soothing. I recently increased my daily dose of ice cream (for testing purposes... *cough* 🤭) so had some angry breakouts on my chin and this instantly soothed my skin. It looked far less red after removing.

☑️ Moisturising and hydrating. I used this before bed and my skin was still soft and plump throughout the next day.


👎 Cons?

Minor gripes, I suppose, but nonetheless..

✖️ The stiff film. I would find it easier to unfold the mask if the stiff film was the entire size of the mask rather than half the size. I have used a similar mask with a stiff film and was able to unfold it more quickly and easily than this one. Obviously not a deal breaker, but I always consider ease of use when choosing between two similar products.

✖️ The nose area. I would love the nose flap to be a tiny bit bigger as my nose is one area more prone to breaking out.


❤️ Conclusion:

☑️ I really like this mask! Fits really well and makes my skin calm, hydrated and happy. I think it would be beneficial for anyone wanting a comfortable, non-sticky sheet mask that works quickly with long-lasting benefits.

Honestly, I didn't find anything negative about this cleanser. Love it!

I received this product for free from Picky and BE THE SKIN in exchange for my honest review.

💜 Benefits:

☑️ Deeply cleanses pores.

☑️ Clears and smooths skin.

☑️ Provides natural protective barrier to keep skin moist and comfortable during and after cleansing.

💜 Notable ingredients:

🌿 Willow-BHA (1%) - gently exfoliates for smooth and soft skin.

💜 My experience:

☑️ I really like this cleanser! It starts off as a cream and lathers easily into a rich, silky foam when water is added. A pea size amount is plenty for my entire face and neck. For testing purposes I have been using it as a sole cleanser most days and it has been sufficient in cleansing my skin adequately (I quickly experience closed comedones if I don’t cleanse properly) which is very impressive. It causes no irritation and my skin feels lovely after; no tight feeling at all, just soft and moist skin.

I didn't find anything bad about this cream, but I would love to see it available in a larger size for those of us who use as an all-over face cream rather than a spot treatment.

🌿 Vitamin E (Tocopheral) & 
🌿 Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) &
🌿 Vitamin B7 (Biotin) - controls sebum and relieves inflammation.

 
💜 My experience:

☑️ I have stubborn dark spots so know it will take some time to see decent lightening effects but so far I am loving this cream! It has such a wonderful texture, silky smooth and soft, which absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin nicely hydrated and moisturised without any unpleasant residue.

☑️ I haven’t been using it long enough to enjoy the benefits it aims to provide, but I am hopeful that I will see and improvement to the appearance of both my dark spots/blemishes and wrinkles. I would love to see this available in a larger tube as well as this size for those like me who need treatment of my entire face rather than as a spot treatment.

Nothing! The purging/breaking out after starting such a product is unpleasant and annoying, but it isn't truly a "bad" thing as it's cleaning out the rubbish to make way for clearer, healthier skin! 😁

❓ Thoughts?

☑️ I have been using this nightly for over 2 weeks so far and I think I’ve found a holy grail. If I had to use one night cream for my entire life, this would likely be it! It’s gentle enough to use for most skin types, so it’s a fantastic choice for those brand new to retinoids (Vitamin A) which are the gold standard of anti-aging skincare ingredients. For those with sensitive skin,  I believe this is definitely worth trying (patch testing of course) as it contains many ingredients which calm and soothe irritation as well as help prevent it.

☑️ A-mazing could also be a great choice for those who are experienced retinoid users, depending on the strength their skin is accustomed to. I have used the strongest forms of Vitamin A before and still found this to be highly effective, with similar noticeable results but without the negative side effects such as skin dryness and flaking. It’s very possible it might not be strong enough for some retinoid users, but I do believe it’s definitely worth trying. I would love to see a comparison on this with other retinoid products by veteran retinoid users.

☑️ Packaging… one of my favourites! The gorgeous purple and yellow shades are highly aesthetically pleasing and if I hadn’t had the privilege of testing it before release and was looking for such a product, I’d have likely bought this due to the packaging. I’d love to see more groovy packaging from By Wishtrend (or from Wishtrend’s other brands!). The pump dispenser is perfect; easy to use, hygienic and, being airless, prevents the active ingredients deteriorating.

☑️ Texture wise, I love it! It doesn’t feel oily or sticky, and though it’s a thicker cream it doesn’t feel like it on my skin. It’s not heavy and uncomfortable on my skin, and it leaves my skin instantly feeling softer and moisturised. It’s a real pleasure to use, and the only negative side effects would be the purging/breakouts which are typical of my skin when using a new active. It’s unpleasant for a short time but necessary to rid my skin of the yucky stuff to make way for healthier skin.

☑️ Besides the expected purging, so far I have noticed my skin feels smoother and softer, and appears somewhat brighter overall. My skin is also less oily, quite so in fact. It’s summer here, almost autumn (or “fall”, for those living where autumn isn’t used) so it will be interesting to see how this fares in the cooler months with dryer skin. I’ll be updating once I’ve used it for longer and in different seasons. I’m excited to see long-term results!  I hope others will give it a go and enjoy it too. 😃

As mentioned in the "Cons?" section, the price may be a drawback. While some products on the market are overpriced for what they are, this is certainly not the case with this product. You get what you pay for, a premium product, and it's more than worth the cost in my opinion.

☑️ Feels lovely on the skin. The texture is perfect for my acne-prone skin (which hates thick and heavy creams or anything greasy) and it applies with ease, spreading a small amount across the skin to adequately cover my entire face and neck. It is hydrating and soothing, and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue once absorbed.

☑️ Versatile. Can be used as a sleeping mask, wash-off mask whenever the occasion calls for it and on the body (eg. can help hydrate dry skin and soothe eczema). It can also be used as a natural highlight; on its own or over makeup to give the face a natural glow!

☑️ It actually works! I’ve used this nightly for weeks now and have only experienced positive side effects. Healthier, plumper skin that glows. No breakouts, no unpleasant residue, no irritation. Just skin that looks and feels better.

👎 Cons?

🤔 For some, the price may be a drawback but you get what you pay for. Baesix uses premium ingredients with consideration for not only your skin but for the planet as well. I find believe the quality is well worth the price.

 
💜 Conclusion.

☑️ I am thoroughly impressed with this mask! I believe it is an asset to any skincare collection due to its versatility and effectiveness, and being safe for the whole family. I highly recommend anyone who wishes to improve the health of their skin, whether the face or body, to give this a try. 👍
