Updated Skin Faves

Here are some tried and true skincare products that I have been loving!

First up, this cleansing oil by The Face Shop works as an amazing makeup remover for me. 

I've always been reluctant to try oil products because I was afraid they'd break me out with all that oil!

This cleanser is infused with prune and other natural ingredients that feel super gentle on my face.

I've never used it as a cleanser so I can't attest to its use in that department but like I said it's an amazing makeup remover and seems to have significantly reduced breakouts AND actually helped clear up my skin a LOT because it removes ALL my makeup.

This Murad advanced active radiance serum has been my best friend for months now and I'm sad to say that I've used up the demo 😢

I apply this right after I tone my skin on the areas of my face that I feel needs some lightening because of dark spots or otherwise and since using up this little tube, I've seen dramatic increases in my skin's tone. My old dark spots resulting from acne have faded altogether and that saves me so much time when I'm getting ready! It's a liquid serum that really soaks into your skin very quickly.

Right now I'm using this rapid age spot and pigment lightening serum which also works wonderfully.

However is it a gel formula and I feel like my skin doesn't like gels all that much.

The two moisturizers I've been loving are both by Kate Somerville.

 I use the Oil Free Moisturizer in the morning under my makeup primer and sometimes at night as well. Its super light liquid-cream doesn't get oily at all yet still manages to pack my dry winter skin full of moisture!

The retinol night cream was also a light cream that didn't have any adverse effects on my skin. However, using up the sample size was not enough to tell if it made any significant differences in my skin.
