Dealing with oily skin can be tricky makeup melts off, your face looks shiny within hours, and pores look more visible. But don’t worry, having oily skin doesn’t mean you can’t have healthy, glowing skin. The key is using the right products and building a consistent routine. Why Do We Get Oily Skin? Oily skin can be caused by genetics, hot weather, stress, or even using harsh skincare that strips away moisture causing your skin to produce even more oil to compensate. Best Skincare Ingredients for Oily Skin: ✨Niacinamide Helps regulate oil production, minimize pores, and even brightens the skin. ✨Salicylic Acid (BHA) An oil soluble exfoliant that clears out clogged pores and prevents breakouts. ✨Zinc Controls excess sebum and has calming, anti inflammatory benefits. ✨Green Tea Extract A powerful antioxidant that soothes the skin and helps reduce oiliness naturally. ✨Clay (Kaolin or Bentonite) Often found in masks, these clays absorb excess oil without over drying the skin. Simple Tips for Oily Skin: ✨Use a gentle, SLS free cleanser. ✨Try a toner with witch hazel or green tea (alcohol free). ✨Don’t skip moisturizer choose a lightweight, water based one. ✨Exfoliate 1–2 times a week. Always wear oil free sunscreen. With the right ingredients and consistent care, oily skin can absolutely be balanced and healthy. The goal isn’t to get rid of oil completely, but to control it in a way that keeps your skin hydrated and happy.

This was my first pr with less that 50 followers on TikTok and IG. I’m so glad that I went ahead and filled the form even with low followers count but I got lucky 🍀but but here comes the tricky part to be very honest when I saw what I’ll be getting I was a little nervous because I’ve never used any product like this before and reading it has snail mucin did made me a little uncomfortable until I did my research and saw no snail is harm in the process and it’s very safe for them. The hydration of this cream is next level and now this is a new best thing I’ve tried 🤌🏻🤌🏻

To be honest, I never really paid attention to green tea in skincare. I always thought it was just something nice to drink when you want to relax. But after my friend shared her experience using green tea powder at home for her skin, I got really curious. So here’s the story she has pretty sensitive skin. It gets red easily when she's out in the sun, and she sometimes deals with tiny breakouts. One day, since she drinks green tea regularly, she randomly tried using the powder as a face mask. And her routine? Super simple: •She used about a teaspoon of pure green tea powder (the real powdered kind not tea bags). •Then she mixed it with a little warm water, or sometimes raw honey if her skin felt dry. •She applied a thin layer to her clean face and left it on for about 10–15 minutes. •After that, she rinsed it off with warm water and followed up with toner and moisturizer. After doing this 2–3 times a week for about a week, she said her skin felt calmer, less prone to redness, and her pores looked much cleaner. She could really feel the soothing and antioxidant effects. And the best part? When she used it in the morning, her face looked fresh even without layering too many products. Her tips? Super simple but smart: •Make sure the green tea powder is pure no added sugar or flavorings. •Don’t overdo it 2 to 3 times a week is more than enough. •If your skin is super sensitive, just mix it with plain mineral water. Now she’s even experimenting with a DIY green tea toner so she can get the benefits daily. Honestly, I think it’s a natural skincare hack worth trying especially if you’re into low-effort, budget-friendly routines. Who would've thought something from the kitchen could do so much for your skin, right?

Why? I believe everyone has their own reason and hardship about their skin. My skin is sensitive and dehydrated. So I am choosing to use bakuchiol as alternative to retinol. My skin react to the product faster than expected especially active ingredient. I use to hate it at first. Luckily skincare nowadays is so wide, ingredient like retinol has alternative such as bakuchiol. Bakuchiol might slower than retinol, but it give the same result and same how it is working on skin.

If your skin tends to freak out easily redness, irritation, dryness then calendula might just be your new favorite ingredient. I’ve tried a few calendula based products over the past few months, and honestly, I get why people rave about it. It’s not flashy, but it works quietly and consistently to calm and comfort the skin. So, what does Calendula actually do? ✅Calms irritated or sensitive skin ✅Helps heal small blemishes and post-acne marks ✅Hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy ✅Safe and soothing for all skin types, even reactive ones How I use it in my routine: ✅Cleanser – Just my usual gentle cleanser to start with a clean base. ✅Toner – If I have one with calendula, I’ll use it here. ✅Serum – I stick to something lightweight and hydrating. ✅Moisturizer – My go-to is one with calendula for that calming finish. ✅(Optional) If it’s nighttime, I might add a sleeping mask with calendula to lock everything in. Final thoughts? Calendula has seriously helped reduce my skin flare-ups, especially during stressful weeks or after trying new products. It’s like a soft reset for my skin nothing dramatic, just calm, healthy, and balanced. If you’re looking for a skincare ingredient that truly cares for your skin without overdoing it, calendula is worth a try.
