Ways I treat My Hormonal Acne 🙋‍♀️

TW: Skin Picking 🚨| For the past two weeks, these products have been life-changing for my body and mind ✨ Staying away from picking my skin has been a challenge 🥺 It's a journey full of ups 📈 and downs 📉 where staying motivated and consistent is tricky 😬 Honestly, these products reminded me of an important treasure 💚 All the process I made is valuable 💯 If I pick my skin on a cloudy day, my process still count... I don't have to start from zero 🚫

The Resurface+ AHA/BHA Renewing Body Cream & Glycolic Renewing Body Scrub are besties who work together 🤝 to provide amazing results from day one 🤩 I am in love with this line ❤ They give me the motivation I needed to stay on track in my body care routine 🎉 Also, seeing my blouses without blood is a win and I can't be more proud of myself 🥰 

The Resurface+ line is created for those who struggle with Keratosis Pilaris. These products have benefited my skin in a lot of ways MORE, like:
🌿 Minimize the redness on my KP legs and belly spots. I still need to see if reduces my ingrown hairs... 

🌿 Skin rarely feels dry, bumpy, or rough. Now it feels smoother and softer than ever. It has a noticeable healthy-looking skin 💫

🌿 Reduces redness and minimizes the appearance of stretch marks all over the body ☺

🌿 I am starting to notice a little reduction in my body pimples and my post-acne hyperpigmentation ✨

✅ The Resurface+ AHA/BHA Renewing Body Cream has a lightweight and non-sticky texture 😉 Absorbs quickly while leaving the skin moisture. 

✅ I love the products are free from fragrance, parabens, essential oils, sulfates, formaldehyde, silicones, lanolin, petrolatum, propylene glycol, PEGs, and gluten.

Not This Summer, KP ❌

Alpha Arbutin is extremely sensitive to degradation in the presence of water if the pH of the formulation is not ideal. The pH of this formula has been shown to be the most suitable pH to minimize degradation of Alpha Arbutin.

We are aware of the potential colour changes of our Alpha Arbutin product. This is a natural occurrence, where certain ingredients in the product can change colour when exposed to sunlight or increased temperature. Testing has shown that the efficacy and safety profile of the active ingredient remains stable.

Alpha Arbutin by The Ordinary became yellow... It's normal? 🧐

1️⃣ Denatured Alcohol
It's a drying type of alcohol that aggravates and weakens the skin. Typically, if denatured alcohol is listed as the fifth ingredient or higher, it is of considerable risk for sensitizing skin.

2️⃣ Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol
It's a type of drying and sensitizing alcohol that can do damage to the skin’s upper layers. 

3️⃣ Methanol
It's potentially irritating and problematic for skin in high concentrations. 

4️⃣ Isopropyl Alcohol
It's known to be drying and sensitizing to the skin when listed among the main ingredients. Also, can disrupt the skin’s surface layers.

5️⃣ Benzyl Alcohol can pose a risk of sensitivity when used in high amounts but is considered safe as used in cosmetics (usually in concentrations up to 5%, and it may be used up to 10% in hair dyes).

Alcohols to avoid if you have sensitive skin ❌

I still need to use it for some more weeks to see if there's a difference in the redness and inflammation. Until now, haven't found any cons 🙌 

Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence Review | I received this product for free from Picky and Mixsoon in exchange for my honest review ✨

First of all, the package is so cute 🐻‍❄️🧡 I will be keeping the bottle when I finished the product 🤭

I am not a big fan of toners or essences. To use them, they have to feel watery and refreshing. That's why I love this product 😍 It's a great way to enjoy the benefits of Centella Asiatica without having to use a serum 💦 

Mixsoon is a brand that focuses on providing simple but effective products 💯 Mixsoon insists on minimalism and clean beauty. Eliminate unnecessary ingredients that might cause skin damage and only add the essential ones. 

Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence only has three ingredients. The main start is Centella Asiatica which helps soothe and repair irritated skin and increases skin moisture promoting collagen synthesis to keep skin firm and supple 🤩 Recommended for inflamed skin and acne, damaged skin, dull skin with uneven skin tone, and aging skin. 

Highlights 
🌿 It has tiny leaf extracts gentle enough for sensitive skin 
🌿 Make the skin feel nourished and hydrated
🌿 It's lightweight and absorbs within seconds 
🌿 It's fragrance-free and alcohol-free 
🌿 It doesn't feel sticky or greasy 

CONS ⤵
🍚 I always have acne open cuts, so I can't use this toner. When I do it my face becomes a little red. I always get a burning and tingling sensation, so I stop using it. 

🍚 I was looking for a soothing toner that heals my skin barrier and post-acne post but can't be used for it. 

FINAL THOUGHTS ⤵
It's a great toner that just doesn't work for those who pick their skin.

This toner has been hype 🔥 on the kbeauty community. I decided to give it a try and make my own conclusions... Unfortunately, my skin is not a fan👎

ABOUT THE PRODUCT ⤵
This toner is made with 77.78% Rice Extract effective in elasticity care.

CLAIMS ⤵
The product forms a protective barrier over the skin to prevent water loss, eliminate dead skin cells and provide luster and moisturization to rebalance dry and tired skin.

TEXTURE ⤵
It's a dual-layer toner consisting of a water layer and emulsion layer. After shaking, you get a watery but consistent texture. 

SCENT ⤵
This toner is fragrance-free and artificial coloring-free.
 
PROS ⤵
🍚 It's super nourishing and moisturizing and can be used as a 2-in-1 product. 
 
🍚 I have combo skin, but it will be great for those who struggle with dryness.

🍚 A little goes a long way, so don't apply too much or your skin will feel thick.

I love everything about these patches 💛

What it is ⤵
Comfortable spot treatment to solve your unplanned breakouts. Works for any acne and skin. 

Key ingredient ⤵
100% hydrocolloid 

Review ⤵
They are the perfect fit for occasional cystic in every area of the face. I used them day and night and I don't have any problems. One night I applied one and wake up with the master patch with a lot of gunk inside. It seems like it gonna explode, but the patch doesn't detach from my skin.

In general, they all are lightweight patches that apply smoothly and blend easily on my skin. One's I put in, I don't have to worry about them coming off at night. Also, if accidentally other products go on top of the patch, they don't penetrate the patch. They work amazing and their price is more cheaper than the competition 🎉

I highly recommend this line 💫

Put it in the cart 🛍 
A physical and chemical body scrub that relief ingrown hairs and is a keratosis pilaris savior ✨ I thought my previous scrub was gentle, but this one is more suitable and less aggressive with my sensitive skin 😍 Has a beautiful texture that goes a long way and leaves the skin extremely smooth and soft 💯 Something you may not know, this product is amazing to detox the armpits 💜  I have been using it for a month with consistent use and noticed it reduces the redness on my legs and they don't get irritated so easily. Also, I don't have to deal so often with painful bumps.
