It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about skincare and makeup. I’ve been switching from one product to another to find the one that complements my skin fully. Since it’s transitioning to summer now, I had to change my moisturizers as my previous ones are not just makes my skin feel so greasy. 😥
Cleanser: I’m still using my COSRX Good Morning Low PH Cleanser. I think it suits most skin types as this one doesn’t leave your skin feeling super squeaky clean (which is usually bad), but still leaves a refreshing and clean sensation. Doesn’t dry me out either!
Oil cleanser: My current oil cleanser is the Heimsh All Clean Balm. I think I like this one better than the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil that I once used because the application is easier and less messy. This one cleans thoroughly as well and is easier to bring around when traveling.
Toner: I’m trying out Klairs Supple Preparation Toner ever since my old Beauty Water expired lol. To be honest, I can’t tell if my skins improve by incorporating this toner into my routine. At first, I was a bit worried because it contains essential oils, but so far it didn’t break me out so I guess it’s good?
Essence: Usually cream moisturizers don’t suit me as I’m a bit of combination type. This time I’m trying out Huxley’s Oil Essence. It’s a best selling product and I’m pretty sure most skincare addicts know what this product is. It has a grass-like fragrance. It might smell strange but I actually got used to the smell after several uses. It actually makes my skin feel super moisturized (but not overly) throughout the day! My sebum production is undeniably lesser when I use this essence. Definitely my new holy grail!
Sunscreen: I’m still on my eternal journey in searching the perfect sunscreen. I used Biore’s Watery Essence previously and switched to Apieu’s Madecassoside Sun Cream through a recommendation on a Youtube video (yes, I’m a viral marketing victim). It’s not amazing but not meh either, just in the middle. But at least it doesn’t break me out and the white cast is minimal.
Spot treatment: I alternate two spot treatments. One is the Centella Blemish Cream from COSRX and the other one is Avene’s Cicalfate Repair Cream. Let me focus on the latter. This is my first time trying a skincare product from the French pharmacy and I must say it’s working amazingly so far! I use it more for hyperpigmentations, actually, but it’s great for acne too!
I had fun testing out these products and I’ll hopefully post another update on this soon! Also, if anyone has recommendations for a good spot treatment and sunscreen products, do let me know!
