I recently purchased the Cleansing Balm from the inkey list and now I was wondering how to use it. Since on the packaging it says to apply it to a damp face. So I was unsure whether I should apply it to a dry face or a damp face. Does it make a difference? 
Thanks for the help! :)

Cleansing damp or dry?

Look at what a difference just doing you skincare routine does in 10 min. The first picture is me oily from the whole day. The second one is after cleansing and the third is after applying all of my products 😍.

I really didn't think it make that of a difference in the moment ! 🔥

All products I used are linked below 😊

Look at that difference 😍

Your affordable fave products 🧴

Hi check out my new reviews for the CeraVe Acne Control cleanser as well as TO niacinamide and zinc serum. Those two products really did work wonders on my oily and acne prone skin and they are both really affordable.

I hope this helps! ☺️

Say goodbye to your acne 👋

For the last couple of weeks I have this dry patch next to my nose. It's sometimes itchy, flacky, red and sensitive.
I never had this problem before and I also didn't change anything.
I was thinking I might have a damedged skin barrier. 

Can someone help ?

Weird dry patch 😬

Nothing bad about this product you just need to be careful that you apply enough of it to get enough protection.



Key ingredients 🔑: 

- ☀️Mugwort
- ☀️ Green Tea
- ☀️Centella Asiatica
- ☀️ chemical UV filters (SPF 50+ and PA++++)

Texture and Smell:

☀️ the texture is quite velvety feel on the skin. It also has a quite matte finish which I really enjoy. For me it glides effortlessly over the skin.

☀️ the sunscreen stick is fragrance free and doesn´t have a smell either

Best for:

☀️oily skin 

☀️ Sunprotection

☀️ soothing


My expirence:

This sunscreen stick is a holy grail for me because it is so hard to find good sunscreen for oily skin that is not oily or sticky. I also love that it gives you a matte finish and it feels super velvety on the skin. It is super easy to reapply your sunscreen on the go without getting sunscreen everywhere and it is pocket sized so also super easy to carry around. The only thing you need to be careful about is that you apply enough but i personally never had a problem with it and i never got a sunburn, so i think i apply enough. It also has a high SPF rating with SPF 50+ and PA++++

I wouldn't say it's bad but the texture is quite tacky and can be sticky on the skin. I don't mind it because it works for my skin and has a good effect. Because of its high percentage of niacinamide it could be to harsh for people with sensitive skin.

This serum was the first treatment I ever used and it is still in my routine to this day. It works great for my oilyness and helps clear out active breakouts. The niacinamide and Zink work great together. The niacinamide helps with breakouts and oilyness and the Zink also helps with oilyness and is antibacterial. I love that it is this affordable as all TO products are and it's quite beginner friendly.

There is nothing bad about this product. I works well for me.

Main ingredients:
💦 2% Salicylic acid
💦 Ceramides
💦 Niacinamide
💦 Hyaluronic acid

Skin type:
💦 oily and acne prone skin

💦Texture:
The texture is a gel like consistency. It forms up quite nicely with a little bit of water. It isn't stripping to the skin but gives you a very thorough cleanse.

💦 Review:
I really enjoy this cleanser because it's great for my oily and acne prone skin. I like how gentle the Cerave cleansers are while doing a good job with actives. It really helps me to balance my acne prone skin and prevent further breakouts. In comparison to the other SA Cleanser from CeraVe I liked this one better because the presentage of salicylic acid is higher which give you a better Long Term Effekt. My skin doesn't feel stripped when I use this cleanser.

This essence had a slimy texture which get absorbed in the skin really well. It is easy to apply and glides over the skin.
•my review:
I love the texture and application process and how fast I gets absorbed into the skin. It also is alcohol free and has no fragrance. After testing it I felt like it supports the skin barrier quite well and my skin feels hydrated after using it. I experienced no burning or anything even on some really sensitive patches I have right now. I also feel like it helps with sebum production and I don't feel quite as oily as most of the time. The pomegranate is supposed to be mildly exfoliating but I'm not sure if it does much. All and all I am really happy with this product.
