Last year was really amazing, so many Good things happened, being one of them, the opportunity to try a few interesting skincare and makeup products, so Let’s start!
FACE.
BEAUSTA Cica recipe face foam cleanser, & GARNIER ACTIVE micellar water for sensitive eyes and skin.
Having sensitive combination to oily skin type, every step matters to avoid any side effects. This is why Cica and Cornflower water, are two perfect main ingredients to calm, and refresh my skin. Used to use richer formulas, like the ones by The Saem, this one, feels incomplete, even if technically have some nice ingredients, and a soft formula.
On the other side, the micellar water for sensitive eyes and skin, to me is one of the best ones from Garnier. It easily remove all the impurities and makeup, even the waterproof ones, without dehydrating my skin, or causing any side effects.
FRUDIA enzymatic peeling gel, & HOLIKA-HOLIKA Soda
Pore Cleansing.
Even if one of my favorites face scrub are from a western
brand, the korean ones, are complete different, with a more advanced formulas, that are even suitable for sensitive skin, braking once againg with the topic that face scrubs can't be used on sensitive skin. The enzymatic peeling gel by Frudia,
removes softly in one step all the dead skin cells, with the drawback of not being able to be used twice
at the same moment, therefore everything need to be done in one step, thoroughly
massaging the entire face.
By the way, the one by Holika-Holika, really surprised me
for its main ingredient (baking soda), and the product formula. It gentle removes all
the impurities, being able to be used again at the same time, in high contrast with the one by Frudia. The texture feels like microbubbles penetrating deep into the pores, removing
all the dirtiness, leaving the skin soft and velvety.
TONY MOLY Wonder Tea Tree Pore Fresh Toner.
Since the green panda face moisturizer, indicated for combination to oily skin (one of my all time favorite moisturizers), this face toner is the second product I try from this brand.
Formulated with ingredients that are specially
indicated for combination to oily skin, like Tea tree and green tea, that contributes to even the skin tone, sebum regulation, helping at the same time to reduce
pimples, making it suitable
for people with acne prone skin.
The main purpose of this face toner is to refresh, balance, and purify the skin, penetrating deep into the pores, leaving the skin prepared for the next step. However, to me, is not one of the best face toners in the
market, but a really good one, to keep as a vanity backgroung, since it really helps to regulate progressively
the sebum production, softening the skin texture the
same time.
EYES.
VITAMIN TREE & ORJENA eye moisturizers.
After having watched so many skincare videos, and read a few blog post about how important can be to use an specific moisturizer to the skin of the eye area, for being a more sensitive zone, that needs a more lightweight, and fast absorbing moisturizer, that helps to to prevent, and treat fine lines and wrinkles, I ended up trying this two ones, to start including them in my routine.
Both of them are from Korean skincare brands, being Orjena one of my favorites low cost Korean beauty brands, for their face serums, sheet mask, and enzymatic peeling gel.
The one from The Vitamin Tree, whose main ingredient is Niacinamide, was definitely a game changer: it decongest, moisturize, softens, and refresh the skin of the eye area, leaving a slight sensation of freshness. On the other side, the Orjena eye cream, which have more main ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, niacinamide, and marine algae, it felt more like a basic lightweight moisturizer.
