NOVEMBER FINAL ROUND: SKINCARE PRODUCTS REVIEW.

JEJU YOUNG SKIN FACE TONER & ACAI BERRY FACE TONER, by Ziaja.

If you have been reading my latest posts, maybe you will notice my bittersweet relationship with Ziaja, because they use parabens in some of their products as preservatives. But I think they are changing that in their new products, because no one of this two face toners have parabens!

I have been earing of a lot of beauty content creators a lot of good things about this face toners, they are three, and I decided to buy two of them to give them a try, and I’m very happy with them, from the ingredient list and the formula to the packaging. They have nice key ingredients that refresh, treats, and plump the skin without causing any skin irritation, and even if I love both, my hearth prefers the Jeju one!

By the way, the bottles mist facilitates a better application of the products without the necessity of use a cotton pad, avoiding any product waste: spray and taps the skin, and you go!

TUTTI FRUTTI BODY MIST, by Farmona.

I’m not lying if I say that this are one of the best body mist I ever tried. They smell very good, moisturize the skin, and have amazing ingredients like Aloe Vera, Lactic Acid, Castor Oil, Ceramides, Sunflower oil, Rosemary, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Pear juice extract.

They are orgasmic, with a 360º experience. I have tried a lot of product from Farmona, and I always end up wanting more and more and more, they really know how to create skincare products.

ALOE VERA GEL, by Holika Holika.

Korean skincare products are most of the times: AMAZING. This face and body gel is beyond to perfection! The ingredient list, the formula, the texture, and the effectiveness. It really calms and treats the skin, helping to reduce blemishes, dryness, sebum production, even illuminating the skin.

I love to apply it two to three times before sleeping, and then lock the moisture with a face oil, and in a week, you will start to see the difference, this product is amazing, even more than the Tony Moly Bamboo Shooting Gel, that is more a refreshing and calming than a treatment itself. But the Holika Holika Aloe Vera Gel it combines all the qualities of the bamboo gel, but in a more skincare way since is formulated to help heal, treat, and repairs the skin imperfections, and reactions.

FIRST SERUM, by Pretty Skin.

This face serum at first, I felt like it wasn’t doing anything to my face, but then I started to notice that my skin was smoother. It claims to repair the skin in 14 days, but to me, it just improves the skin texture. The ingredients are just Galactomyces, and the texture is very liquid, that makes difficult the serum application.

Having using it until finish the entire bottle, I personally think that there exist better products on the market that do a better job on the skin, for the same price, with a better formula and ingredient list. But if you are starting in the skincare world, is a nice point to star, and create a routine, I think that is the reason why is called “first serum”.

OIL BLEND, by TRUELOGIE.

With this product I really ask my self if Niche Lab Beauty do anything wrong. I loved this face oil so much, among with the Breylee one, this is absolutely a keeper: is not greasy, fast absorbing, it has an amazing ingredient list, locks other products moisture, it performs incredible under makeup, controls the sebum production, and balance the skin moisturizing and treating it.

The best part? It treats the skin without clogging pores, so it does not promote the formation of black heads, white heads, or any pimple, effectively helping to control the sebum production.

Q10-VITAMINE C BODY LOTION by Nivea & ANTI-AGING BODY LOTION by Anne Moller.

I love both! They are fast absorbing, and moisturize very good the skin, but if I only must choose one it will be the Anne Moller one, is my fourth bottle, and I will always have one in my dresser table. The formula is perfect: fast absorbing, refreshing, and it leaves a very light veil that protects the skin, that it won’t leaves your skin until the next shower.

PD: it leaves the skin smooth, illuminate, and with an elegant smell.

Otherwise, a few months later, I was looking for natural body oil, and keeping in mind that the face scrub worked so well, I asked myself why not to continue testing other products of the same brand? They seemed to be very interesting, and guest what? I ended up buying the Rose Hip body oil, that is mixed with other interesting ingredients that helps to treat and soothes the skin.

This body oil leaves the skin soft and with a gorgeous glow, in contrast with other ones that I have used in the past, this one is fast absorbing, and it have a very nice smell.

FAVORITES FACE CLEANSER OF 2021: COMBINATION TO OILY SENSITIVE SKIN.

In my opinion, every single product of a skincare routine is important as they have a specifical function related with the skin: cleans, tonify, treatment, moisturize, or protect.

Choosing a bad face cleanser can irritate the skin, even develop melasma or eczema. Based on my experience, I almost burned out my skin with a citric cleanser, the mistake was mine, for use a product not indicated or suitable for my skin type. So, keeping this in mind, I created my 2021 favorites face cleanser list!

Face oil cleanser, by EVOLUDERM.

Is amazing how this face oil cleanser dissolves all the makeup and impurities from skin effortless! Usually, the process of removing makeup and clean the skin have two steps: oil-based cleanser, and water-based cleanser; but with this one, you can avoid the second step, using it twice!!! It doesn’t dry the skin, leaving it soft and tight.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Mineral oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Tocopherol.

Egg mousse soap, by TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.

I finally found one of the most famous face cleanser in Asia, and now I know why is so famous: is one of the gentlest face cleanser foam that I ever tried, being impossible to have a skin reaction using it. The best part is how it removes all the face impurities, turning it in the ideal first or second skincare step in the routine of someone with a very sensitive skin.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is the fact that it have parabens, being in the same situation that I’m with some products of Ziaja: I love the product, I love the brand, I love the concept, but I deeply hate parabens. I know that they have been being one of the most affordable preservative used in the beauty industry, but know we have other ones that are affordable and save too.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Egg yolk extract, Milk Protein, Glycerin, Palmitic Acid, Allantoin, and Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol.

Hydrating cleanser, by CERAVE.

Is one of the most famous products of the brand and is not surprising since it effectively cleans the skin without drying it out. In my case, I even notice how slightly plumps and balance the skin. It doesn’t have foam or soap, but it deeply cleans the skin! I still amazed, and in love.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid.

No problem washing foam, by REVUELE.

This was an amazing discover for the price, ingredients, and effectiveness. Is a nice face cleanser with interesting properties that helps to treat problematic skin types, including sensitive skin. Is not aggressive and is enriched with essential ingredients to help problematic skin types, and prevent breakouts.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS:  Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Salicylic Acid, Castor Oil, and Coco Glucoside.

Apple foam cleanser, by KUESHI.

This is one of my beloved, for the ingredient list, texture, and effectiveness. The texture of this face foam is light and rich at the same time, with a soft apple fragrance. It purifies the skin without drying it out, having Centella Asiatica among its key ingredients, is just perfect.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Apple juice extract, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Mentha Piperita, Centella Asiatica, and Citric Acid.

MY FAVORITES MAKEUP FOUNDATIONS 2021 FOR COMBINATION TO OILY SKIN.

Having sensitive combination to oily skin can be really a headache since not all my face areas are oily, in my case I have an oily T zone in combination with normal skin in the rest of my face. By the way, I have some blemished areas (that are in treatment), so I need a foundation that can give me a long lasting, healthy matte, medium or medium to full coverage, skin like finish.

My current favorites foundation of this 2021 are by Makeup Revolution, NYX cosmetics, and Base of Sweden. I really love all of them, and to me they are absolutely a must have, from the most affordable to the most expensive.

LIFESTYLE FOUNDATION MADE TO PERFORM, by Base of Sweden.

Since my days with MAC pro long wear foundation, I never ever tried a makeup foundation that is waterproof, non-cakey, with a nice buildable coverage, non-comedogenic, vegan, with an almost skin like finnish. I can even say, that is better than the MAC one.

It has a light sticky texture, that perfectly glue to the skin, and one is dried is immovable and stay perfect all day long, being one of the strongest all terrain makeup foundation, being to me one of the best options to choose for a very long day of work.

CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP, by NYX.

I really love it, being to me the closest makeup foundation to the MAC pro long wear one (one of my beloved), and less expensive. But, even if I love everything about it, in my case I prefer to mix it with another makeup foundation, since the texture is very liquid.

It stays all day long but is not waterproof at all like the first one, but water resistant. By the way, is cruelty free, long lasting, with a buildable coverage from medium to full, and is not cakey.

MATTE BASE PORE BLURRING FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION, by Makeup Revolution.

This ended being a truly discover! I never expected that Makeup Revolution will ever create such a nice product. From the formula to the texture this product is a keeper. It has a nice skin-like medium to full coverage, that leaves a flawless finish. Is not the most long-lasting makeup foundation I ever tried (obviously), but it stays perfect for hours, and with the correct setting powder and makeup primer, it can last perfect for eight to nine hours.

Is not waterproof or water resistant but is really a good option if your necessities aren’t too high. I personally use it alone or mixed with other makeup foundations for a better texture, being one of the most versatile makeup product I own.

Otherwise, in general, another thing that I love from this makeup foundations are the fact that they are non-comedogenic (don’t clog pores), so I don’t need to worry about breakouts caused by my makeup foundation (RIP Glamzilla, I love you).

REMEMBER: a makeup foundation will always work better on a well-groomed skin, than on a skin that has never seen a serum. So, skincare first, for a flawless makeup application and a more long-lasting finish.

INCREDIBLE AFFORDABLE GEL SHOWER FOR SENSITIVE SKIN.

Find new affordable skincare products is always pleasant, even more having dry-sensitive body skin. My current favorite shower gel is the one for sensitive skin by Lactacyd, which have as one of the main ingredients Acid Lactic, that condition, calm, and moisturize sensitive skin, acting at the same time as a mild skin exfoliator, price: 8,23E/bottle (1L).

Even if the price is not bad, keeping in mind the ingredient list and the formula, I really needed to find other options in the market to have more options, and discover new brands that worth the money or are a “wtf this is amazing and so affordable”. So, this is how I ended discovering this gel shower by Byphasse, that claims being ideal for dry to very dry skin, with emollient and moisturizing properties, for only 1.50E/500ml.

With this line of products, the brand claims to use only the necessary ingredients to clean and moisturize the hair and skin, not leaving it dry and itchy. The components of the ingredient list are essentials (basics), the formula and product texture just feel very clean, fresh, and comforting.

Even if is not the most moisturizing and emollient gel shower that I ever tested, I find it a really good option, that cleans the skin without drying it out, with a neutral PH, and a soft-clean fragrance.

But to me the most surprising part was discover that the product is vegan! Usually, vegan products that works well for sensitive skin can be a little bit pricy, but with this product, that general rule is broken!

KEY INGREDIENTS.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine: skin conditioner.

Sodium Chloride: help to heal and exfoliate the skin.

Propylene Glycol: smooth and hydrates the skin.

Glycerin: moisturizing, emollient, and skin softener.

Glyceryl Oleate: enhances skin elasticity penetrating in the outer layer of the skin.

Maltodextrin: moisturizing, reduce skin irritation caused by other acids, and anti-aging.

Acid Citric: unclog pores, helps to even the skin, exfoliates the skin, and target brakeouts.
