Current Dry Skincare Products

For most of my life my skin has been dry, I find that as I get older my skin is getting dryer and I have more breakouts. I also sensitive skin, so I have to be careful about what I put on my skin. Here are the products that I have been using currently for the last couple of months. Some of the products I really enjoy and some of the products I wouldn’t purchase again.

Cleansers

Philosophy Purity- This is a one stop facial cleanser, I use this to wash off the makeup, dirt, and oil from my skin. This is one my favorite cleansers because its super gentle, I even use it remove my eye makeup and it doesn’t burn my eyes at all. I even let my 11-year-old use it, she uses it she wants to be like me.  I double cleanse but this is the first cleanser I use in my skincare routine. I love the fact that you can a big bottle with a pump, this bottle costs around 50 US dollars, but it will last you months.

Tula Probiotic Purifying Face Cleanser-This is another gentle cleanser I either use it at as a second cleanser, or Ill use it in the morning. The cleanser deep cleans without striping your natural oils. It leaves your skin feeling very soft.

Clean and Clear Lemon Gel Cleanser- It contains vitamin C and lemon which makes it smell amazing. I typically will use this morning since the scent is refreshing I feel it wakes me up in the morning.

Sprays

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, herbs, and rosewater This is the second product I have tried from the brand, I first tried their lavender spray I really enjoyed it. I feel like their sprays are very hydrating and refreshing. I actually use to prep my skin for skin care and then set all my skin care at night. The bottle is inexpensive I think it cost maybe 12 or 14 dollars. I don’t typically like to spend to much money on facial sprays I prefer to spend money on serums and facial oil.

Skin and Co Truffle Therapy Illuminating Skin Refresh Mist- I got this in this summer’s fabfitfun box, I have been enjoying the mist since I got it. Its really refreshing, hydrating, and it has a nice minty smell to it. The scent for me is very calming.  I store my sprays in my fridge in the summer, I find that it makes them feel more refreshing when I use them, especially in the summer heat.

Serums and Boosters

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum- Its suppose to hydrating serum, I do find that it does hydrate not as well as my favorite facial oil. Its very lightweight, absorbs into the skin fast, and its good for sensitive skin. I have another serum that I havent’t tried it’s by Farmacy, which I think maybe better than this serum. All the products that I have tried by Farmacy have been very hydrating.

Physicans Formula Skin Booster Vitamin Drops- They are a fairly new product they came out earlier this year. The drops are supposed to brighten your skin, I have been using it for a month now, I find that it didn’t really brighten my skin at all. I think it provided some hydration but that’s about it.

ELF Hydrating Drops- I just bought these about a week ago, I have used it a couple of times, Im still not sure how I feel about it.

Sunday Riley Juno Essential Face Oil- This is by far one of my most favorite facial oils I ever tried. Its really hydrating, my face has this lit from within glow to it when I use it. It is on pricy side its around 70 dollars. Its my favorite product to use year around when my face is dry. I even mix in my foundation sometimes which it gives me a youthful dewy glow. It has ton of good for you ingredients such as blueberry seed oil, cranberry seed oil, red raspberry seed oil, and more. I did read an article on the red raspberry seed oil it has some calming properties to it, and it helps soothe the skin.  I use this as my daily moisturizer sometimes.

Moisturizers and Masks

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream- This is the one for dry skin, its really hydrating, lightweight, and it absorbs into skin pretty quickly. I find that when I put it on it has a cooling effect on my face. I have been using for a couple of years now, I mostly use it in the summer when I want a light but very hydrating moisturizer. Its also quite inexpensive this costs me about six US dollars plus tax. It also great for sensitive skin I find, it doesn’t break me out at all.

Ahava Hydrating Cream Mask- This is a very hydrating mask, it can be used for 10 mins or overnight. I use the mask for 10 mins a three or four times a week. I use it overnight when my skin is at its driest.
