kae_sensitiveI feel like the majority of the cherie community is combo/oily (although that may just be what shows up on my feed), so a lot of peopleās holy grail products are just not it for my dry sensitive skin!

MY EXPERIENCE:
As I said, at first I thought I really was going to like this gel-like moisturizer. Iām a normal skin girl and typically can get along with any moisturizer. Unfortunately this left my face āfeeling tackyā, I could just FEEL it on my skin and I didnāt like it. To the touch it wasnāt but it still felt that way. I tried a smaller amount and would get the same results. It worked fine with makeup I personally just didnāt like the feel of it. I donāt quite understand why but I think my face just didnāt care for this texture. Iāve used this type of moisturizer before - SUNDAY RILEY - Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream is a wonderful one I enjoyed and had no issues with.
From my research and reading reviews I feel this would be a great moisturizer for those with oily skin as it has been a clear hit for them. I think if you have dry skin this isnāt going to provide you the moisture you like, even though itās got four types of HA. I personally love a rich, hydrating cream.
Farmacy has a great range of moisturizers to choose from and Iāve been able to try them all:
FARMACY - Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer
- a good option for all skin types but may not be rich enough for those looking for a deep moisturize
FARMACY - Better Daze Ahead CBD Moisturizer
- perfect for all skin types. One of my faves
FARMACY - Honey Halo Ultra-hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer
- for normal to dry. Dry skin lovers dream!
* I have a review of all the moisturizers on my page except Honey Halo which is to come soon.
Whatās your FAVORITE moisturizer? Which one do you repurchase time and time again?
Iāve got several more moisturizer reviews coming your way! Stay tuned š

Ranking the Farmacy āFarmers Marketā Products
I have been wanting to test out Farmacy for quite sometime now, so when I saw the FARMACY - Farmer's Market Kit at Sephora, I thought it would be a good intro to some of there best selling products. Hereās my rating of the products from least favorite to most favorite.
FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
š This stuff gets the job done, however I am not a big fan of cleansing balms (personally prefer micellar water for double cleanse). I felt like I needed a lot of the product to dissolve my makeup, and I do not the oily feeling on my skin. However, when it comes to cleansing balms, this is one of the better ones I have tried. I will not be repurchasing for the above reasons.
FARMACY - Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya
š§This moisturizer is super lightweight and spreads easily on the skin. The texture feels nice. For me, it doesnāt give me as much hydration as I like from a moisturizer, it also made my skin feel somewhat tacky after I used, which is why I donāt love it. I think it will be a staple when my skin is feeling oily. This moisturizer has a great product list, including hyaluronic acid + a blend of phytonutrients known to help clear pores + reduce shine. It also has a lemon/limey scent to it. I would consider repurchasing if my skin were feeling oily.
FARMACY - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask
šÆ I swear this mask is magic. At first I thought I was putting honey on my face, but it quickly turns into a warming cream. While creamy, it also has that natural honey smell and gives you the same great qualities honey does. It gives my skin a soothing and rejuvenated feel after using. Although it seems like it could be messy, the application was super easy. This is a perfect āspa nightā product. Love the was this feels on my skin. Definite repurchase!
FARMACY - Very Cherry Bright 15% Clean Vitamin C Serum with Acerola Cherry
š I did NOT think this would be my favorite product out of the kit. This is a 15% vitamin C serum powered by a potent cocktail of vitamin C-rich acerola cherry and hyaluronic acid and it works. I am usually not a fan of vitamin C serums because the make my face feel sticky. After using this sermon daily for around a month I have noticed more radiant skin. It also has a nice, light natural cherry smell. I have been putting this below my eyes and my dark eye bags have reduced greatly. I will definitely be repurchasing, however the price for the full sized product is pretty steep ($62.00).
Overall, I am incredibly happy I tried the āFarmers Marketā products from Farmacy. All four of the products were high quality and great. I recommend trying these out for a great introduction to the brand.

GREEN GUY, DID YOU BREAK ME OUTTTT???
What do you have to do when the whole internet talk about āDOULE CLEANSINGā. I donāt wear any makeup but i have heavy moisturizer and sunscreen so I decided to try. And all point to the same product
FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm
Ok, i got it, what you have to do, head to Sephora and pick it up. Hold it in hand, iām feel so happy ššš
I use it immediately the night i got it, i have to say: i love the color, i love the smell... the texture look like rock at the first sight but when you use the scoop, it actually like butter. Iām in love š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
When i use the balm, itās very easy to spread, melt quickly. I added some water and it transfer to liquid. After that, i pair with my usual cleanser.
After the first night, my face had small pimples. But not a problem. I still try the balm... the second day, more pimples coming, bigger qnd bigger. Painful, redness and itching ššš
And finally, after 3 days trying, i can feel my face screaming āI DONāT LIKE THAT GUY, THE GREEN GUYā š¤¢
So i guess i have to come back with my lovely micellar waterBIODERMA - Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Cleansing Water this is is light like water, made my face feel nothing, but i have wipe my face about 3 times to make sure itās clean.
I will going to return FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm i thought that āmy green dreamā. If you have any cleaning balm good for acne, oily skin. Please, tell me. I appreciate š„°š„°š„°

My January 2021 empties
Looks like I emptied many of the cleansing products.
Star of the month goes to:
Bronze - BIOSSANCE - Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream likely to repurchase when finished other eye cream inventories. This is somewhat rich eye cream and glide on easily.
Silver - FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm got silver just because it has attracted everyoneās attention. I still have one big jar to go then will try something else after.
Gold - DHC - DHC Lip Cream this is something I canāt live without and will never trade for anything else. Will definitely keep repurchasing!

Dropping Honey šÆ
Coming at ya with another moisturizer review. Itās a sleepless night so whatās a girl to do but talk and binge on skincare! š¤Ŗ
FARMACY - Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer has been apart of my skincare cabinet for just about three years now. It was the first moisturizer I tried of theirs and really enjoyed it. Since then they have come out with two new products, their FARMACY - Honey Halo Ultra-hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer being my preferred choice.
What is it:
A lightweight, hydrating gel-cream moisturizer that nourishes the skin. Helps with dryness, dullness, uneven texture and loss of firmness and elasticity.
Best for:
All skin types
Highlighted Ingredients:
ļæ¼Farmacyās own proprietary honey blend - hydrates and nourishes the skin.
ļæ¼Triple Hyaluronic Acid - moisturizes, supports firmness and elasticity
ļæ¼Capuacu Butter Beads - skin softening and moisturizing
Price:
$45 for 1.7 oz
As you can see in the photos this is definitely a light moisturizer. It sinks easily into my skin leaving no residue behind. I absolutely love this texture even though I typically favor a thicker, richer cream. I find this easy to work with my other skincare products as well as my makeup. No pilling!
It does have a light honey scent which Farmacy states is a natural fragrance.
This comes with a metal spatula that magnetically š§² attaches to the lid which helps for sanitary reasons. No finger scooping needed!
I canāt say I saw all the benefits beyond hydration and moisturizing but I definitely enjoy the butter beads and the hyaluronic acid in this. It really is a hydrating cream for a lightweight formula.
I feel like Honey Drop and Honey Halo can be your summer and winter moisturizers. Honey Drop being your lightweight summertime formula whereas Honey Halo offers just a bit more of a punch being a great option for those dry winter months.
At $45 it is a pricier moisturizer. I do find I only need the amount shown to get full coverage. A container usually lasts me about two months.
Bonus, the jar is recyclable! ā»ļø
As always, Farmacy is cruelty free š°
Have you tried any of Farmacyās moisturizers? If so, which do you prefer?
When I first started using Farmacy they were still a bit green but becoming more and more talked about. They had a pretty simple product line to choose from. In the three years Iāve been using the brand theyāve grown so much, not only in popularity but also in expanding their products.

This deserves its Halo!
Iāve only been able to try this mini size of FARMACY - Honey Halo Ultra-hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer but I gotta say, it really knocked my socks off! š¤Ŗ
What is it:
An intense moisturizer that replenishes dry, distressed skin with lasting hydration.
Best for:
Normal & Dry
Highlights:
Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, and loss of firmness and elasticity.
- Buckwheat Honey: soothing and hydrating
- Fig Fruit Extract: Binds and restores moisturize
- Ceramides: Prevent moisturize loss and replenish skin barrier.
Price:
$45 for 1.7 oz
My experience:
Again, I only got about two weeks worth of product to test but I felt this was a winner right away. Itās rich. Itās creamy. It sinks immediately into the skin leaving no sticky residue. While it is a rich cream it doesnāt feel heavy on the skin. I didnāt have enough to use to know if it offered the benefits the brand claims other than soothing hydration. It has very light honey scent that quickly dissipates on the skin.
I personally like a comforting cream and this one did it for me!
What I can also appreciate is Farmacy kept out unwanted irritants like fragrance, oils and certain extracts. The ingredient list does state *flavor (aroma) but not exactly what it is.
At $45 it is on the pricey side for a moisturizer. I have gone through and looked at several well-known brands and Farmacy is priced within the same range.
You can get more bang for your buck by choosing less expensive brands like CeraVe, First Aid Beauty, The Ordinary and The Inkey List. (I chose brands who have clean, fragrance-free ingredients).
Also to note:
Cruelty Free
Gluten Free
Comes with a metal spatula that adheres to the top of the lid so you wonāt lose it! My only complaint is I HATE the metal scrapping across the glass jar (like nails on a chalkboard š¬)
Jar is recyclable

My experiences with Farmacy
Iād like to talk about two recent additions to my skin care routine.
These are both good clean products and I recommend them, but I donāt plan to repurchase.
First, Iāve tried FARMACY - BEE CLEAN
It was recommended to me by a sales person at Sephora. This cleanser is great, but I think itās a little too stripping for my dry blemish prone skin. Iāve been trying to overcompensate with other hydrating products, but my skin has felt a little rough. I think this is a great cleanser for combination skin or oily skin, but if itās on the dry side, find something else.
To try and bring some much-needed hydration into my skin, Iāve also been trying the FARMACY - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask
I think itās pretty pricey for what you get, and I just didnāt get the skin softening effects I was hoping for. Itās not the miracle product I was hoping for, but it is a nice warming treatment and again, Iād recommend it for combination skin or oily skin.
I did discover a new serum thatās been giving oh skin more glow and hydration. I will post about it next time.
Thanks for reading!

How many masks are too many...?
I used to love masking! Iād do at least 1 to 2 a week. Now Iāve gotten lazy and just donāt do them and I have so many I need to start using before they expire!
For me, I feel having an exfoliating mask and a hydrating mask is all you need. Unless your using the product consistently youāre not going to see changes. Masks are great for plumping up the skin, adding hydration and even a soft glow. But of all the masks Iāve used Iāve never found long term effects from them (except exfoliating).
One way I like to use them is right before a big night (or day) out. To give my skin that added boost. Some that are great for doing so are:
FARMACY - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask
GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask (use as a 10 min mask)
SUMMER FRIDAYS - Jet Lag Mask
FIRST AID BEAUTY - Hello FAB Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask
And many others that help brighten and hydrate!
I will also not go without my exfoliating masks which I do once a week. Some faves are:
PAULA'S CHOICE - 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel
YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial
The Ordinary - AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
HERBIVORE - Prism 20% AHA + 5% BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial
And a few others I have that I liked to use;
BIOSSANCE - Squalane + Tea Tree Detox Mask
ELEMIS - Superfood Vital Veggie Mask
bliss - Mighty Marshmallow Mask
Unfortunately as I said, I just donāt mask as often as I used to. And I feel it isnāt necessary. If you like to then I suggest you get yourself an exfoliating and moisturizing/hydrating mask and you should be good to go.
Treatments are where you want to really zone in and specialize your finances for.
Is it Friday yet? Ugh! Iāve been down all week with a neck I cannot turn - ouchie! And a migraine on top of that! Iām ready to knock my dogs out cause they are wanting out every half hour (itās nice here ā

Want to wake up glowing and ready to show off your fresh face? Then look no further than FARMACY - Honeymoon Glow Serum
This product is a resurfacing night serum with glycolic acid , AHAās, and BHAās. This 3 in 1 product provides the following benefits:
ļæ¼āRefines pores. BHA from willow bark, a natural source of salicylic acid, helps visibly diminish pore size.
ļæ¼Gently exfoliates. Flower acids from hibiscus extract help exfoliate and clarify skin.
ļæ¼Perfect for all skin types. Hyaluronic acid, along with our proprietary honey blend, deliver intense yet gentle hydration to ensure skin is never dry or over-stripped.
I use this no more than every other night. I have a plethora of serums, so I like to rotate them. And I donāt like to use an exfoliant everyday, even if it is a gentle one like this.
Make sure to be generous with your moisturizer following this, and maybe opt for one thatās more hydrating. I love my GLOW RECIPE - Banana SoufflĆ© Moisture Cream however, I am pressed on Farmacyās honey line, so I think I will be purchasing FARMACY - Honey Halo Ultra-hydrating Ceramide Moisturizerfor night time use.
This picture is no makeup, no filter, just a natural radiance thanks to this HG serum. āØšÆ š¤©š

ā”ļøSKIN SAVIOR SERUMS ā”ļø
These are some of my newer serums that Iāve been using for a few months now and Iām totally in love!! Hereās how I use them and what they do for me š„°
My Skin Type: Very Combination, Rosacea, Light skin tone, 21 yrs old
PEACH & LILY - Glass Skin Refining Serum
Price: $39/40 mL
Ingredients: niacinamide, peach extract, peptides, hyaluronic acid
Thoughts: This serum is PERFECT for combination skin! Its super hydrating and also controls excess oil production with the niacinamide/HA combo. I find that it really makes my skin look healthy and balanced and keeps breakouts at bay. I usually use niacinamide products at night because I tend to get the most oily over night. Love it so much!š
FARMACY - Honeymoon Glow Serum
Price: $58/1 oz
Ingredients: AHA, BHA, flower acids, honey, HA
Thoughts: Easily my favorite chemical exfoliator! Much gentler than The Ordinary - AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution which I do love but rarely feel that I am able to use because my skin is easily sensitized, but this farmacy serum gets the job done and I LOVE that its a serum that I can leave on over night and wake up to soft glowy skin!
PAULA'S CHOICE - Defense Antioxidant Pore Purifier
Price: $31/1 oz
Ingredients: salicylic acid, vit C, licorice root, ceramides, coq10, other antioxidants
Thoughts: this is my GO TO morning serum! Not only does it clear my pores and keep my oil production at bay, as well as reduce the inflammation of any acne Iām experiencing, its also very hydrating and protects your skin from free radicals and aging! Its really such a well rounded product that does a bit of everything and works so well, my favorite PC product ā¤ļø
Krave - Great Barrier Relief
Price: $28/45 mL
Ingredients: tamanu, sunflower, & rosehip oils, squalane, vit b3, ceramides
Thoughts: a GREAT moisturizer for when your skin is super dehydrated or sensitive, it really gives a great reset. I gave it 4 stars because its marketed as a serum when its very much a cream-consistency, and I cant use it too often because the oils tend to clog my T zone. However it definitely does what its meant to do and when nothing else helps, this product DOES!
Have you tried these serums? Whats your favorite? Lmk any questions you have!!

ššGood Molecules haulšš
So Iām excited to jump in and start using these products Iāve been reconditions from multiple sources and a few I just saw while I was shopping that I just had to try!!! Super excited to let you know how my progress goes!!!

Good Molecules Cyber Monday Haul š§¬š¤
Iām a little late with this but I wanted to post my Good Molecules Cyber Monday haul! I also bought that cute mini fridge but it hasnāt shipped out yet. Did anyone else pick that up? šš»āāļø For my haul I stocked up on some favorites and some new products.
The two favorites I picked up were the GOOD MOLECULES - Niacinamide Brightening Toner and the GOOD MOLECULES - Pure Cold-Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil .
If youāre going to use a toner I highly suggest this one! It doesnāt have any stripping ingredients most toners on the market contain. It has niacinamide, licorice root extract, and hyaluronic acid to bring moisture into the skin as well as help hyperpigmentation. Itās a complete game changer when it comes to a routine. Iām also a huge fan of their rosehip oil. It is a lot smaller than The Ordinary but something about it feels better/absorbs better on my skin.
The new products to me are the GOOD MOLECULES - Instant Cleansing Balmand the GOOD MOLECULES - Vitamin C Booster Powder(which comes with a scoop!). Iām a HUGE cleansing balm fan and this has been on my list for forever. I also really appreciate the tin it comes in. I also wanted to incorporate vitamin C into my routine but I know how unstable it can be so I thought a powdered form would be a good option.

letās talk neck care!
Neck and dĆ©colletage care! This type of skin care isnāt addressed as much, but itās still an important step of skincare! I never really thought about it while I was addressing my face skin concerns, but I once read that it was good to bring your skincare products down to your neck, so I started doing that about 8 months ago. I think my neck lines are partly genetic, but theyāre also due to how often I sit in bed staring at my phone, thus creating deeper lines on my neck.
I wish I had a picture from 8 months ago, but my neck was pretty wrinkly, it had really deep horizontal neck lines that I couldnāt get rid of even if I stretched my neck. While I still have some horizontal lines on my neck, theyāre certainly less visible than they were before.
So what do I do exactly?
I really donāt do much besides bring my toners, serums, sunscreen, and moisturizers down to my neck, and I massage it in in an upward direction. So with the product on my hands, I start to massage from the base of my neck up to my chin. I do this until I feel like the product has been absorbed. Massaging the product in an upward direction will help smooth the skin and prevent drooping.
I certainly did not see results immediately. In fact, it took at least 6 months of doing this little massage every morning and night to see some change. I really just stuck to it and ended up doing it out of habit for many months, then one day I realized my neck looked much smoother than it was before.
Here are some of the products Iāve been using on my neck (I usually use these on my face too):
ļæ¼innisfree - Cica Toner with Bija Seed Oil
ļæ¼innisfree - Green Tea Moisture-Balancing Toner
ļæ¼CeraVe - PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
ļæ¼THE inkey LIST - Hyaluronic Acid Serum
ļæ¼Kate Somerville - Liquid ExfoliKate Triple Acid Resurfacing Treatment
ļæ¼FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair Cream
ļæ¼The Ordinary - 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil

First Impressions - Very Cherry Vitamin C š
Just swapped out my DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firma Vitamin C Day Serum with the FARMACY - Very Cherry Bright 15% Clean Vitamin C Serum with Acerola Cherry in my morning routine. I have posted about this before but man finding a good vitamin c serum is hard!!
What Iāve noticed with this product so far:
ļæ¼itās really watery
ļæ¼the smell is nice and mild
ļæ¼Iām concerned the clear packaging will cause it to go back quick
ļæ¼the pump disperses the perfect amount
ļæ¼itās not sticky
My overall first impression is schmeh... I bought it because someone recommended it to me, but Iām thinking Iāll have to get the Paulās choice one next since that seems to be a big hit!

Simplified My Skincare Routine
This is the best my skin has looked I think ever! My boyfriend actually commented on how good it looks (he doesnāt notice things like that).
My skin looks brighter, my dark sports are less noticeable, I have less acne on my chin line, and the texture on my forehead is basically gone now.
Hereās my routine:
AM:
Sometimes I cleanse in the morning. When I do I use:Aveeno - Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser
I then use:
Mad Hippie - Vitamin C Serum
I recently started using this and it has made a WORLD of difference
After vitamin C it is super import to use a sunscreen. Iāve been using:
Krave - The Beet Shield
PM:
If I have done a workout or had work (12hr shift in the ER) I use:
SMACNE - Acne Treatment 30 Day Kit
If I have had an easy day I cleanse with the Aveeno mentioned above.
Next I put on:
e.l.f. - Holy Hydration! Face Cream - Fragrance Free then Iām all done!
My review of the products:
e.l.f. - Holy Hydration! Face Cream - Fragrance Free Iām not in love with this moisturizer but it gets the job done and is not crazy expensive. Put your recommendations below:)
Krave - The Beet Shield
I like this sunscreen it doesnāt leave a white cast and does not have a strong fragrance. It is a little oily which works for me during the winter but if you have very oily skin you might want to stay away. I gave it 4 stars because even though I like it, it is pretty expensive especially for the small package you get.
SMACNE - Acne Treatment 30 Day Kit This has got be to where I am today! Look at my previous review to see how much it helped me. I canāt seem to completely get rid of it. It started becoming irritating to my skin during the winter months so I only use the cleanser 3-4 times a week and the treatment as a spot treatment on occasion. I would highly recommend to someone struggling with acne
Aveeno - Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser have been really enjoy this cleanser for a light clean (I donāt wear makeup)
Mad Hippie - Vitamin C Serum LOVE LOVE LOVE this is the only new thing I have added to my routine and it has made such a difference!!! Even my boyfriend has noticed how wonderful my skin looks and I my diet has no changed if anything itās gotten worse. (These changes are after 2-3 weeks)

šmy thoughts š
I used it in my night routine as I was so eager to try it out. it has a slight yellow colour to it and a thick-ish consistency. it went onto my skin so smoothly and soaked in very nicely.
I woke up this morning to the softest skin ever. and when I mean softest, I truly do!! some uneven texture that I had on my face, completely gone, as well as improved dark spots. this was just in one night so I canāt wait to see the results in the near future. I will definitely let you all know how it goes!

FARMACY Whipped Greens Cleanser
Description:
A soap-free, oil-free creamy foaming face cleanser that cleans pores and draws out dirt, oil and impurities without over-stripping skin.
Main Ingredients Are:
Moringa Seed Extract and Moringa Water to purify and refresh skin, Papaya Enzyme and Green Clay to exfoliate and detox and Sodium PCA to maintain skin hydration.
First Impression:
The smell of the cleanser is very strong to me and took some getting used to. One of the ingredients in it is Citronellal so it smells like Iām rubbing mosquito repellant all over my face. But aside from that this cleanses my face beautifully. The cleanser foams really well and a little goes a long way. It cleansed my oily/combination skin without it feeling stripped after cleansing leaving it soft and clean.

One Year Progress
Exactly one year apart! I started my skincare journey 9 months ago. I primarily use Glow Recipe, but am slowly venturing out and replacing my lesser favorites of their products.
These are some of my tips and holy grails!
GLOW RECIPE - Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream holy crap this stuff really helped my redness, that was my biggest skin concern
ļæ¼2-3 times a week I do a chemical and physical exfoliant, I got this one in a boxy charm box and fell in love. I would recommend doing this in the shower and leaving it on your face for a couple minutes to really absorb the acids. Also I would recommend skipping the serums and night masks after this. Just use toner, eye cream, and moisturizer. Murad - AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
ļæ¼I mix a vitamin C serum in with my AHA every other morning. Iām undwerwhelmed with GLOW RECIPE - Pineapple-C Bright Serum I donāt hate it, but I think I can find better once I run out. However I love their GLOW RECIPE - Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Serum it is gentle enough (for my skin) to use every morning and night, and one pump is all you need!
ļæ¼double cleansing is a must! Iāll just use the tiniest bit of GLOW RECIPE - Papaya Sorbet Smoothing Enzyme Cleansing Balm even when Iām not wearing makeup because it has a lot of good ingredients for your skin. However if your skin is feeling dry, Iād skip it and just use a water based cleanser. I am also underwhelmed with GLOW RECIPE - Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser Iām going to use it for before and after my workouts, but not worth the price point. Plus it is irritating if it gets in your eyes. I just ordered FARMACY - Whipped Greens: Oil-Free Foaming Cleanser With Moringa and Papayafor my morning and night cleanser and I am beyond excited to try it.
ļæ¼ a nice spray is a must! I use it after I cleanse and after I shower. J.R. WATKINS - Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerin Spray this stuff is soo good!! My face is so soft after I have to force myself not to touch it. I loved GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist but I got to say I like the Heritage one and it is wayy cheaper.
ļæ¼donāt be afraid of supplements! I just got some vitamin E supplements and Iāve been taking magnesium and collagen everyday too.
ļæ¼lastly look into anti-aging pillows and silk/satin pillowcases. This is especially important for side sleepers. If you sleep on your side, you are smushing your face against it. When you are young, your skin is elastic enough to bounce back, but youāre hurting your skin over time. YourFacePillow - Anti Wrinkle Back & Side Sleeping Pillow

Pretty in Pink š
A roundup review of some pink products Iāve been using!
ACURE - Seriously Soothing SPF 30 Day Cream This SPF moisturizer boasts niacinamide and blue tansy to sooth and even skin out in addition to being a moisturizing mineral SPF. I gotta say Iām not a huge fan of moisturizing SPFs in the first place but this one looked nice to me. Itās got a thin consistency coming out the tube but as you spread it on itās pretty thick and heavy feeling. In about the middle of the ingredients list is coconut oil, a very occlusive and comedogenic oil, so I definitely wouldnāt recommend this to anyone who is oily or acne prone, but it hasnāt broken me out at least. Itās not my favorite SPF Iāve ever used, but if my skin is super dry or sensitive Iāll use this over my others.
fresh - Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash I love this cleanser! I use it twice a week for some nice exfoliation. Iāve always preferred physical exfoliation over chemical (I know Iām in the minority here) and this one is super gentle! The sugar granules are small and dissolve pretty quickly, and the cleanser itself is a non-foaming jelly, plus it smells like a delicious strawberry smoothie. My skin doesnāt feel dry or tight at all after using it. I will definitely be purchasing the full size when I finish this!
FARMACY - Very Cherry Bright 15% Clean Vitamin C Serum with Acerola Cherry This is the serum that changed my opinion about serums! I used to avoid them because I hated the sticky feeling they would leave on my skin, but my skin had been lackluster and I wanted to add a vitamin C to my routine. This serum is amazing yāall! Itās only 15% vitamin C derived from cherries, so itās gentle and natural, plus it has 4 different derivatives of hyaluronic acid. It just smooths over my skin like butter, I love it, I use it as needed for extra hydration or if I just wanna feel extra glowy, plus it smells so good and sweet! Iām glad I took this plunge, I highly recommend it!
ORIGINS - Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay Iāve only used this mask twice but so far itās been really nice. I am a masker, always have been, and while clay masks arenāt really my go-to since I have dry skin, Iām glad I have just this one. It really tightens up my pores and my skin just feels sooo smooth after. It is a bit drying after washing it off but after serum and moisturizer itās not an issue, and when I wake up my skin feels smooth and clear. Overall i think it does what it claims to do very well!

Honey-lious Routine šÆ
You know I love my Farmacy Beauty products & right here is a fabulous routine! Full of honey goodness šÆ
I start off with FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm (not sure why I didnāt picture it first) to remove all makeup, sunscreen and dirt & debris. I love how gentle and effective this is! I can see my makeup washing down the drain as I go to rinse my face. Itās so easy!
Next up is FARMACY - Clean Bee Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser this washes away anything I may have missed with that first cleanse and rebalances my pH level for the next steps. This one is perfect for everyone! Itās got a natural honey scent that I am not a big fan of but I can easily get past that because of the amazing benefits!
FARMACY - Bright On Massage-Activated Vitamin C Mask I love to mask as often as I can. I find when I consistently use masks in my routine my skin responds much more favorably. I love exfoliating and brightening masks. This one does both! Itās a clay mask but doesnāt dry my skin out. Love the brightening effects of this one!
FARMACY - Honeymoon Glow Serum once Iāve removed the mask itās time for my targeted skincare treatment and Honeymoon Glow is my absolute go-to! This has been my lifesaver. The results speak for themselves. I have a timeline photo on my page showing how well this beauty works (before/after). Some have a tingling sensation when applying. Itās never been a bother for me and I do have sensitive skin. So be aware this can happen.
A finally FARMACY - Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer Between Honey Drop and Better Daze Ahead, I could survive off Farmacyās moisturizers! Honey Drop is very lightweight so if you have super dry skin this one might not work for you. Better Daze Ahead is my go-to when my skin is acting up and needs extra moisturizing.
They have a new one as well, FARMACY - Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya which Iāve heard those with oily skin love. Itās not for me personally. I find it leaves my skin feeling tacky and almost like it has a silicone feel (which it doesnāt have). For some reason my skin doesnāt get along with this one.
So there you have it! A simple routine that wonāt do you wrong. Of course you can add toners, (Iād do so after cleansing) other serums and essences (after masking) and oils (after moisturizing).
This is a routine I often use š hope you enjoy

I am investing in my skin, and it starts with a good skincare routine.

Perfect Morning āļø
LADIES.
This is my perfect 5-step morning skincare routine. I have combination skin type with a bit of acne.
1. Cleanser
TATCHA - The Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser
A daily gel cleanser with natural fruit exfoliant that deeply but gently lifts impurities and unclogs pores, while leaving skin soft and hydrated.
2. Toner
innisfree - Green Tea Seed Intensive Hydrating Toner
Apply this quick-absorbing toner after cleansing to help balance skinās hydration and oil levels. Ideal for hydrating oily and combination skin types, without the shine.
3. Activation Serum
Sulwhasoo - First Care Activating Serum
This unique serum designed to be the first step post-cleanse that hydrates, nourishes and visibly forms, while boosting absorption of subsequent products that are applied on top.
4. Moisturizer
YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi
A deeply hydrating moisturizer with superior plant extracts and a pro-grade peptide complex formulated for dry, reactive, and sensitive skin.
5. Sunscreen
Supergoop! - Glowscreen Sunscreen SPF 40
This SPF primer perfects skin all on its own and acts like a makeup-gripping canvas, creating a totally dewy base layer for your look. It gives your face a healthy dose of pearlescence, to add instant, glowing protection with no glitter.

Is it actually worth it? GLOW RECIPE
GLOW RECIPE - Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser This product is great for a gentle cleanse to remove all the dirt and sebum on your face! Itās awesome for all skin types due to the hydrating hyaluronic acid and the gentle exfoliation from lactic and glycolic acid! My skin always feels so fresh post using this cleanser but I havenāt seen a massive change in my acne. I use this product in the mornings for a gentle cleanse whilst at night, Iāll use a double cleansing system with an oil based cleanser and a salicylic acid cleanser. Overall, Iām a fan!
GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist This hydrating mist I feel is more of an add on luxury, it isnāt necessary. Although it does give extra hydration which can be great, it isnāt really something that you should go out of your way for, especially for the price.
GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner I have only had this toner for a couple of weeks, and I use it on and off, but it does feel really nice! It makes my skin really glowy, and i noticed that the inflammation in my skin has gone down quite a bit, but i havenāt noticed that much change in my skin long term. Itās definitely more for people with combination/oily skin because of the exfoliating properties. I will keep using this product to get my final opinion!
GLOW RECIPE - Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask This works wonders! It literally made my wrinkles less visible in the matter of one night and it feels so nice on the skin! Iām giving it four stars the only reason being is that itās quite expensive for such a small pot.
GLOW RECIPE - Banana SoufflĆ© Moisture Cream Iāve only been using this product for a couple of days but wow, itās amazing! Itās a thick cream but it feels so lightweight on your skin, so itās good to not feel like your skin is drowning in moisturiser (I have oily skin). I love this product because it leaves my skin GLOWY and it has lightened my redness so much! I only got the smaller pot but Iāll probably end up getting the big one!
GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon Glow Lip Pop OH MY GOD I LIVE FOR THIS PRODUCT. First, it exfoliates your lips, and then, it turns into a moisturising balm and THEN, it turns into a pretty pink tint! My new go-to lip product!!!
OVERALL: I support this brand! I stand with their ethics and philosophy and they support matters such as BLM. Their products are quite pricey but if you have the money, Iād say to go for it!
