Hello⭐️

First of all 🌼I’m not a professional 🌼

So my number one advise will always be to visit a professional in the area, they work and study everyday to help people.

I’m here just having fun and sharing the things I love ❤️ 


Why is it important?

Daily moisturizing is vital for healthy skin. Whether  you have dry, oily, or combination skin, moisturizer is an excellent and necessary  product to incorporate into your daily skin care routine. Moisturizing your skin everyday helps:

⭐️Improve skin balance
⭐️Decrease the production of sebum
⭐️Aging

There are different products for all kinds of skin types, thats why is really important to know what type of skin you have. For dry skin, a heavy cream is great to hydrate your skin and balance out the oil. For naturally oily skin, you may  want to go with a lotion or gel since the amount of oil in those moisturizers tends to be significantly lower or  nothing. My personal favorites are gel-like moisturizers, but when my skin is feeling dry I like to use lighweight cream moisturizers. Combo skin life 😩😵‍💫🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

Here are the products I’m currently using for my combo/ oily skin  and my review:🧪🌱

Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream: if skincare had a tinder, this product and i would match. Im in love with this product, after i had such a hard time to find a good moisturizer for my skin. The ingredients are fantastic! Includes niaciamide, centella asiatica extract (of course) and Allantoin. I have seen a great improvement in my forehead wrinkles and it provides the perfect amount of moisture for my daily use.

Glow recipe Banana souffle Moisture Cream: I use this one when my skin feels dry and needs more moisture. It has great ingredients like centella asiatica extract, curcuma longa (Turmeric)root extract and glycerin. It came in my boxycharm, this is a good product but not someting i will purchase myself. Way too expensive for me. 


Hope this helps you as much as it helped me✨ Any tips, questions or advise, feel free to share in the comments. I’m sure the whole community will be happy to help.🧖🏽‍♀️🧖🏽‍♀️

Hello!


First of all ‼‼️I’m not a professional ‼

So my number one advise will always be to visit a professional in the area, they work and study very hard to help people with skin conditions.

I’m here just having fun and sharing the things I personally love ❤️ 


⭐️Do you know the benefits of including niacinamide in your routine? 🤔😍


Let's look at all those skin benefits:

🦋1: Anti-aging, wrinkle-smoothing properties: With age, our skin tends to slow down in producing important proteins, such as keratin, filaggrin, and involucrin. Studies show that niacinamide can boost collagen production as well as the production of these three important proteins. That means improved skin structure and fewer wrinkles. FYI, anti-aging studies usually use 4-5% niacinamide daily for 8-12 weeks, so if you are after the anti-aging benefits try to choose a product that tells you the exact percentage of niacinamide it contains. 

🦋2: Skin-lightening properties: Hyperpigmentation or brown spots are really stubborn and honestly it can be really hard to make them disappear just by topical products. What you can expect for them is to fade a little and niacinamide is a great ingredient to help with that. Studies show that 2-5% niacinamide used daily for 8 weeks results in significant lightening of hyperpigmentation. When combined with amino sugar, acetyl glucosamine the results are even better.

🦋3: Barrier repair functions: the skin barrier is the outer layer of the skin that is amazingly important at keeping the skin hydrated and healthy. The stuff between the skin cells consists mainly of free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides. The amount and structure of these determine how healthy the skin barrier is. What studies have shown is that 2% niacinamide can increase the synthesis of free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides that result in healthier and stronger skin barrier, decreased trans-epidermal water loss and better hydrated skin.

🦋4: Anti-acne properties: though niacinamide does not count as one of the gold standard anti-acne ingredients, if you have problem skin it's totally worth a try. It has sebum regulating and anti-inflammatory properties and a study that used 4% niacinamide for 8 weeks to treat acne found that 82% of those treated showed some improvement. What's more, the results were slightly better than with a 1% clindamycin gel, an antibiotics often used to treat acne.

Attached are my fav products with niacinamide! 🥰⭐️

🌞 Niacinamide 🌞

Hello!

🍃Back to the post🍃

Why is important to use a cleanser?

Our skin is constantly exposed to so many things, like makeup, sweat, dust and even dead skin cells.

Having a daily facial cleansing helps to remove the dirt and pollution at the surface of the skin, which prevents:

⭐️Breakouts
⭐️Dehydration
⭐️Aging


This are the cleansers I'm currently using for my combo/ oily skin and my personal review. 🧪

⭐️Garnier Micellar cleansing Water: Is the first step of my routine, since I do double cleansing. Micellar water is a great cleanser for double cleansing in a daily basis, when I'm not using makeup and just sunscreen. In my opinion any micellar water is ok, since this is a wash off product (Yes, you're supposed to wash it off, even though the product says is not necessary). I use this one because is affordable and easy to get in my country.

⭐️Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser: This gel-to-foam cleanser  is so good, and it last for so long. You just need a  little bit of the product and that’s enough for the entire face and neck. The only thing I don't like is that the company is not cruelty-free, that’s the reason I'm thinking in not to repurchase this product. Hope they can find an alternative to animal testing soon.

⭐️Banila Co Clean It Zero This is my holy grail when I need to remove my makeup, I just love this balm. It melts away waterproof makeup along with all the stress and bad feelings of a day. Smells delicious and also last for so long, at least for me because i don’t wear makeup that often lol. My favorite thing is that comes with a little scoop to take the right amount of product and not touch it with your fingers. 

Banila Co has the same problem that Cerave, they aren't cruelty-free, since they sell their products in mainland China and as some of us know  this country requires animal testing by law. So any company that sells in China, does animal testing.📖✏️🌱

🤩❗️Product review alert ❗️🤩

Hello 🌼

Products I’m currently using for my combo/ oily skin  and my review:🧪🌱

⭐️ Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum 

“Iunik's tea tree relief serum is ideal for those with acne-prone skin types who need some calming and relief for stressed skin.”

Has ingredients that are: 

⭐️Anti-acne: Niacinamide
⭐️Antioxidant: Centella Asiatica Extract
⭐️ Soothing:  Beta-Glucan

✅ What I liked about it: ✅

I love to use this product the day after I use chemical exfoliants or after a long night, since it helps to calm my skin.  It doesn’t brakes me out and adds a bit of life to my face after a long day of work too. It also helps with wrinkles, brightening the skin and adds moisture to it without overwhelming the skin. The package its amazing, I have it since the beginning of the year, been using it 2-3 times a week since then and its only on the half of the bottle. It contains 50ml/ 1.71 fl.oz. I think this product is very suitable for people with acne-pone skin and/or irritated skin. 

🚫 What i didn’t like about it🚫
 
Nothing bad to say, this is a product that I'll probably keep buying for many, many years.



Looking for a good Sunscreen? I got you! 🌸

I received this product for free from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review. Thank youuu!

Products I’m currently using for my combo/ oily skin  and my review:🧪🌱
 
⭐️ @isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel
 
"A moisturizing, cream gel chemical sunscreen with 8 types of hyaluronic acid. Leaving skin soft and moist with powerful UV defense! SPF50+ PA++++”
 
✅ What I liked about it: ✅
 
It's just not the fact that It took me 32 seconds in total to evenly apply two fingers of this sunscreen that is making me happy, it’s the fact that they sent me 4 of them. I'm my previous review I said that this sunscreen is perfection, and I’ll explaing you why. With a lightweight , fragrance-free texture , this gel-like spf is non-greasy, very hydrating and it doesn’t leave whitecast at all. And let me mention that it has ingredients that works protecting and strengthening the skin barrier, like Centella Asiatica Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract. I love it for daily use, since is very easy to reapply and moisturizing enough to get me through the day. And, of course, is oily skin friendly!





🚫 what i didn’t like about it🚫
	
Sometimes this can be too mild for my skin and I have to use it twice in a week, but nothing else to report.

Hello 🌼

Products I’m currently using for my combo/ oily skin  and my review:🧪🌱

⭐️ COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid 🧼💦

“4% natural BHA component gently eliminates blackheads and dead skin cells. It effectively penetrates into the skin and cleans up clogged pores. Also it helps skin to rebuild its moisture shield.”

Has ingredients that are: 

⭐️Anti-acne and Skin brightening: Niacinamide
⭐️Exfoliant: Betaine Salicylate
⭐️ Soothing: Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Panthenol

✅ What I liked about it: ✅

I love this brand so much! I have a few products and never disappoints. I use this BHA once a week since January and I've been loving it since. Instead of using salicylic acid, it contains betaine salicylate, a combination between Salicylic acid and betaine. This works as a mild exfoliant and natural moisturizer, skin smoothing agent. 

This can be found in K-Beauty products, as due to regulations, pure salicylic acid can be used only in tiny amounts in South-Korean formulations. A generally accepted ballpark number is that betaine salicylate is twice as gentle as salicylic acid, i.e. a 4% betaine salicylate product is similar to a 2% salicylic acid one.
