Warm and cozy ššÆ

This is a warming mask that will bring all the cozy feels!!š
At the time of application, you rub in the mask until it is spread evenly over your face, and it turns into a frothy white cream. While doing this, it gets activated and begins to warm!
It has Vitamin B and Antioxidants in it, which is supposed to hydrate, renew skin, and leave a glowy and fresh feeling!
This has definitely worked for me, after I use it, my skin feels refreshed and soft. It is a perfect end to a busy day! Relaxation time šFARMACY - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask

Is Farmacy Really Farm Fresh?? š¾
Me: dry-combo, currently acne prone, sensitive or very sensitive
For my first dive into Farmacy products, I purchased the FARMACY - Farmer's Market Kit so that I could try a variety of their bestsellers. Overall, a good tester kit for your money with adequately sized samples! (Much bigger than the Glow Recipe sample sizes.)
From favorite to least favorite:
FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm This was my first ever cleansing balm and I fell in love š Your skin feels so smooth and moisturized afterwards. As a dry skin person I often used this as a single cleanse and didnāt notice any breakouts. I knocked off a star because it contains fragrance.... but actually I LOVE the smell... I just worry about my sensitive skin. The next balm Iām trying out is the GOOD MOLECULES - Instant Cleansing Balm
FARMACY - Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya This was a nice lightweight moisturizer. I didnāt like the smell quite as much as the balm but it was fine. It did leave a bit of a shiny sticky residue for me but that went away when i added oil on top. Overall, not enough moisture for my skin right now, but I could see myself loving it in the summer! The next lightweight moisturizer I am trying is the CeraVe - PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
FARMACY - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask I wanted to love this one, and about half the time I loved it, but about half the time I HATED it. When it was good, it made my skin feel so smooth, hydrated, and brightened. When it was bad, it BURNED my skin, horribly at times. I guess it depends on how my skin barrier is doing? Probably not a repurchase since it was so unpredictable on my sensitive skin. I love honey and would love to hear thoughts on other honey masks to try!
FARMACY - Very Cherry Bright 15% Clean Vitamin C Serum with Acerola Cherry My least favorite of the group, this one was just too sticky for me. I also didnt like the smell... it was almost sour smelling? Idk, just not for me. Iām now trying the Mad Hippie - Vitamin C Serumfor my next vitamin C product.
I also now purchased FARMACY - Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream with Acerola Cherry and it is too soon for a full review but right now I am liking it a lot! It is not sticky, and does not have the funny smell of the serum.
What do you guys think?? What Farmacy products should I try next? Iām eyeing the FARMACY - Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizeror the FARMACY - Honey Halo Ultra-hydrating Ceramide Moisturizerand the FARMACY - Honeymoon Glow Serumand maybe the FARMACY - Whipped Greens: Oil-Free Foaming Cleanser With Moringa and Papaya!! Let me know what you think!

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!

YTTP - My Favourite Clean Beauty Brand
Youth to the People can do no wrong!
I first found out about this brand through Instagram/Sephora. What drew me towards this brand is their ethos! They are:
- cruelty free
- vegan
- use sustainable packaging (glass jars,
- one world to protect
- involved in social issues eg: LGBTQ community, ocean clean ups
- celebrate inclusivity and positivity
The ingredients they focus on on their products stood out to me! The very first product I tried is their Superfood Cleanser. I remember turning to this cleanser when I had reacted to a product and this cleanser instantly soothed my skin! I have been using g it ever since! The notable ingredients in the cleanser are: kale, green tea and spinach!
The next product I tried was their Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream - this is my HOLY GRAIL summer/day time moisturizer as it does t make me feel oily!
Superberry Hydrate and Glow Oil was the next product I tried! I loved how it absorbs easily into the skin!
I had won the Superberry Hydrate and Glow Dream Mask! I loved how it made my skin feel nourished and moisturized overnight and the next morning after!
YTTP recently gifted me their Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream and the Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist - my first impressions of these two: I love it! Any surprise there?! The way the mist just lightly sprays onto your face feels like luxury! The cream is super moisturizing and nourishing!
Iād like to try their Kombucha Power Toner, Superfood Face Mask and Superfood Peptide Eye Cream! All thatās left for them is to make a sunscreen š
Not only does YTTP make beautifully formulated products, they do so considering the environment and ingredients they use. They donāt only care about making a profit but making a difference in the world!

YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE MINIS - Two Creams and a Mas
Iāve been testing out these @youthtothepeople minis and here are my impressions:
.
They all have this obsessively velvety texture that Iāve never experienced with any other creams/sleeping masks before!
.
⢠Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask with Vitamin C: This was my favourite out of the bunch. This mask gives you an instant glow, adds hydration (HA and Squalene), and seals in moisture overnight. It has a subtle scent that I absolutely love. I will definitely be purchasing the full-sized product.
.
⢠Superfood Air Whip Moisture Cream: This has a similar, but more subtle scent, than their Superfood Cleanser. I used this as a day cream. Although this has HA, I didnāt find it hydrating enough during the colder months. It performed better in the summer but my skin still felt quite dehydrated towards the end of the day in the areas covered by my medical mask. I donāt think I will be purchasing the full sized product.
.
⢠Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream: I also used this as a day cream. Given its name I thought this would be more hydrating than the Air Whip cream but I didnāt actually notice a difference. Instead of HA, it uses Squalene to boost hydration. I had the same experience using this cream as I did with the Air Whip - better in the summer months but still felt dehydrated towards the end of the day in the areas covered by my medical mask. I donāt think I will be purchasing the full sized product.

Clean Beauty......
To me clean beauty has been the #1 focus for my skincare, Haircare and makeup routine. For over a year now I always look for the āclean at Sephoraā tag, clean or natural wording on a product or shop at my local clean beauty/health food store. So you would think Iām a big advocate right?
Surprisingly no. I donāt personally think āclean beautyā makes a difference. What really should be the focus is ingredients per person. Fragrance could be fine for one person, but irritate another. Dimethicone, octinoxate, phenoxyethanol or ascorbic acid can irritate some skin and be fine for others. Pineapple, cantaloupe, lemon, lavender can be saviours for some and terrifying for others.
So clean beauty is about not using the nasties or maybe using more natural ingredients and while that could be a saving grace for someone it can also be unnecessary and less effective for someone else. I would rather see things like āfragrance freeā āsilicone freeā āessential oils freeā so that people can more clearly target their issues instead of just trusting a blanket term.

YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE-Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Reishi + Ashwagandha
AMAZING Moisturizing & Nourishing Mask (Farmacy)
This is by far one of the best masks Iāve found for repairing dry and dull skin. The gel-like formula turns into a creamy white lather as you work it into your face, and heats up in a way Iāve never felt before. It melts into my skin beautifully, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and brighter for days. Iāve tried many things to moisturize my skin, but this is the best in terms of long-term results. When my skin is very dry (especially in the winter), I often leave it on over night for a deeper treatment.
As an added bonus, the packaging is beautiful, and the lid is magnetic so I can actually keep track of the application spatula!
