Anddd go! I'll start with the brand I have noticed from my use :

Benton - 6 months.
Glow Recipe - 6 months.
Keys Soulcare - 6 months.

This is helpful product information for me just because I hate feeling rushed & want to make sure I have enough time to get through a product without wasting anything.

For those new to the skincare world! PAO stands for the period after opening (how long a product is good for after it has been opened) and can be found by looking for this symbol pictured below on the package. The number inside the symbol will represent how many months its good for! I went years without knowing this so hopefully no one else will have to!

Brands/Products With Short PAO

Preferably gel moisturizers

Or any that work well with oily skin types!

My favorite one is not Cruelty free so I could use recommendations please!

Drop your favorite moisturizers :

Are there any products to help with nasolabial folds or am I just stuck learning to love these deep lines?

I don't foresee myself ever spending money on fillers of any sort and I prefer noninvasive skincare.

For us chronic smilers 😁

If you are like me & can't pick just one, top three will do!

1. Niacinamide - this have been life changing for balancing out my sebum production. 
2. Centella Asiatica - It's my go to soothing ingredient. 
3. Tremella Fuciformis - This 🍄 is so hydrating!

I want to eventually make "nature" journal pages of skincare ingredients & all their amazing attributes!

What is your favorite skincare ingredient & why?

I get to relax with abib! My skin & I need it, I have been stressssed.

I don't know how long it takes for them to pick all the winners but congratulations to everyone that gets picked!

This product is ideal for my skin &amp; I do not have any negative feedback on it.

☁️ In the Korean beauty industry, this cleanser sets an award winning standard. With it&#39;s slightly low pH with a mild acidity of 5.5, it is still gentle for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is also ideal in that this is closer to the natural pH of the skin on our face. This was formulated with EWG certified ingredients &amp; you can tell a lot of thought went into creating this formulation for the ideal cleanser. 

☁️ The cleansing foam dispenses from the tube as a thick cream, but soon melts into a mild foam as you rub it into your wet skin. Once it is lathered &amp; foamed up it leaves a cooling sensation as it cleanses deep into your pores. It doesn&#39;t leave my skin tight afterwards or strip my skin. In fact, it keeps it hydrated, feeling clean &amp; refreshed. 

☁️ Prior to trying this cleanser I had a light breakout on my forehead and chin areas due to irritation from a different product I used. Within a few days of consistent use, this cleanser left my skin restored to it&#39;s usual non-irritated state. I was impressed by the results to say the least!

☁️ This cleanser went above &amp; beyond my expectations. Now I am proud to say I have an award winning cleanser in my arsenal of skincare. I thoroughly recommend this cleanser for anyone wanting to tryout something new - anyone with both sensitive and resilient skin - anyone who wants a large quantity of cleanser for the value - anyone that wants cleansed, happy, healthy, hydrated skin.

I really enjoy this product and have nothing negative to say from my own personal experience.

I thoroughly enjoy the nights where I apply this night mask. It leaves my skin so ridiculously soft and hydrated! I look forward to seeing my glow when I wash my face the mornings after. It doesn&#39;t irritate my skin so this is a win for me.

The tea tree oil is pretty potent in this product so it might be a lot to tolerate for those with tea tree sensitivities.

💚 This ampoule is clear with a pale green tint. Immersed within it is a sea of suspended bubbles. Being composed of 72% tea tree extract, there is a defined tea tree scent to this ampoule. It is very lightweight & absorbs with ease, feeling weightless on my skin. As an added benefit among others, this left my skin feeling soft.

💚 This in combination with the cream from the same line have been a miracle for preventing pigmentation. In all honesty, I committed a skincare sin - I had picked at 3 inflamed bumps along my jawline, my skin was raw & angry to say the least. With the help of the ampoule & cream, the discomfort was gone the next day, & my open festering acne was healed over in 3-4 days! I was shocked that my crimes against my skin left no dramatic pigmentation or scarring, no doubt thanks to these two!

💚 Overall, if your concerns are sebum control & acne care, then this soothing combination of ampoule & cream might be what you want on your acne fighting team!

Some people may be sensitive to the bergamot oil in this but I was able to tolerate it well! It's at the very bottom of the ingredient list at least.

🎀 DeLIGHTful. That is the one word, pun intended, I would use to describe this oil. Always wary of things that could potentially cause my skin to turn into a pool of sebum & oil, I found myself avoiding facials oils until now. @pure.am_official & the team at @go.picky were kind enough to select me to try this 12 ingredient concoction of deLIGHT. Pure'Am even took the time to include a thoughtful handwritten note card.

🎀 Made with 100% natural ingredients, 29.1% of them being organic, this cruelty free formula combines non-comodogenic oils such with such as Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, & Olive Fruit Oil along with the moisturizing powerhouse that is Squalane. It also features Damascus Rose in the ingredients, to which I attribute it's pink hue.

🎀 My fears drifted away the second the first few drops fell into my palm. This blend of oils had such a thin viscosity to it, by far the most lightweight experience I have ever had with an oil blend. It feels lighter than many moisturizers on the market but is super effective nonetheless. It sank into my skin with ease, & was compatible with my skincare routine. This had no detectable scent much to my enjoyment despite having damascus rose & bergamot oil in the ingredients.

🎀 The Super Glow Dew Oil has been a great winter addition to my routine. Prior to adding this, the winds & arid conditions had left my skin severely dehydrated & begging to moisture retention. Since incorporating this, 3-5 drops seals in any bit of precious moisture while giving my complexion a beautiful healthy glow. I do not have to fear my skin becoming oily at the end of the day, or unusual breakouts, in fact I feel this has helped bring my skin to a better sebum balance! For those like I who were fearful of facial oils, perhaps 2022 is the year to step out of your comfort zone and experience what this realm of skincare is all about!

The only improvement upon this product would be if they made a more travel friendly version in a tube, that would eliminate the need for dipping my finger into the jar!  

🍯 I'm From - Honey Lip Balm 🍯 

Made with honey harvested from the heights of Mt. Jiri, this lip balm feels as luxurious as it sounds. My lips can be very sensitive to introducing new formulas, but I found this balm to be incredibly gentle & ever more moisturizing. It is not too thick nor too light, it has a wonderful consistency that applies easily to my lips. Within seconds the balm sinks in, & envelopes my lips in nourishment. 

My lips stay moisturized longer than the typical drugstore chapsticks I am accustomed too. The honey balm gives a light gloss but fortunately does not feel sticky or greasy compared to other lip balms on the market. In the jar I can grasp the faintest hint of sweet honey, but only for a moment. It is virtually unscented which is my preference!

Overall, I feel like Pooh Bear every time I reach for this jar, I am eager to coat my lips in their next serving of honey!
