Skincare Trend - Superfoods 🥬

My skin type is combination oily, but my skin can lean more dry whenever the seasons change or just randomly on its own. My skin concerns are acne and dehydration. I decided to review two extremely hyped products! . CLINIQUE - Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Key Ingredients: Free of Phthalates (according to Sephora site; they make plastic more flexible and softer). But does contain Polyethylene (adds slip feel, but is plastic and not none how it effects marine wildlife). Scent: Plastic-like scent to me Price: $9.50 for 1 oz / 30 mL; $30 for 3.8 oz / 125 mL Experience: A cleansing balm is used on dry skin, so I’ve had experiences with other ones where mascara is extremely hard to remove or impossible. This one easily cuts through even my most difficult mascaras with little effort. It also removes eyeliner with little scrubbing along the lash line. It takes only a little amount of product to remove an entire face of makeup because the slipperiness makes it easy to spread around the face and only use a small amount of product. This works perfect as a first cleanse and I have no residue when I use my toner (which you shouldn’t or that means your cleansing system isn’t working properly). Like it/Recommend: I definitely enjoy this product, it’s one of the easiest ways to remove makeup and not have any traces left behind. I am apprehensive to recommend though due to the presence of polyethylene and it’s unknown effect on marine wildlife. I’m also hesitant to recommend due to the high price, I feel like I can find a cheaper makeup remover that does a similar job. . YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi Key Ingredients: Squalane (mimics your skin’s natural oils to boost skin hydration while minimizing the risk of clogged pores), Ashwagandaha (helps reduce visible signs of fatigue), and Fermented Reishi (works to hydrate, detoxify, and combat premature signs of aging). Scent: Natural, like almost clay, but not sure how to describe it. Isn’t overwhelming. Price: $58 for 2 oz / 60 mL Experience: It’s a lightweight moisturizer that delivers on moisturizing without feeling heavy or clogging my pores. It might not be moisturizing enough for dry skin in the summer, but when my skin has been dry (for my combo oily skin), it’s done a great job of relieving it. It hasn’t made me breakout, even when using it both morning and night. It does take some time to sink all the way in, but definitely worth it. Even though the color looks tinted, I haven’t noticed that it leaves a tint on my skin. I also really appreciate the glass packaging so that’s it can be repurposed or recycled easier. Like it/Recommend: I do really like this product and recommend it because it is a very lightweight moisturizer but delivers a great amount of moisture without making my skin feel heavy or oily. It is pretty pricey, so I would pick it up on sale and can be used as an AM and PM moisturizer.

𝐄𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞’𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 is formulated specifically for people with sensitive skin. The collection comprises of fifteen different products which are made with gentle ingredients like 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 to strengthen skin protein, 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 to help relieve redness, 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 to offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The line doesn’t contain dyes, essential oils, or fragrances making it the perfect solution to restore skin barrier to its healthy balance. I have tried five products from the collection so far. Let me share my thoughts on them:⁣ ETUDE - Soon Jung, pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser With a pH level of 6.5, this cleanser claims to reduce friction on the skin, leaving it feeling healthy and clean.⁣ ⁣ This is a simple effective product. The foam gently cleans and soothes, without irritating or drying out sensitive skin. It leaves my skin feeling clean. I think it'll be a lil drying for those who have dry skin. ⁣ ⁣ ETUDE - SoonJung pH 5.5 Relief Toner Formulated with medicinal scutellaria baicalensis (chinese skullcap) root extract, this toner relieves, revitalizes, and soothes the skin making it perfect for warmer weathers. ⁣ ⁣ This toner is just like water. To be honest, I did not notice any changes using this. But if you’re someone who likes doing the 7 skin method, you may want to try this. It’s VERY gentle and non-irritating - has glycerin, soothing colloidal oatmeal, and various anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory antioxidants. I think it will be nice to use on warm summer days, a good way to ensure mid-day hydration when you feel your skin needs it. ⁣ ⁣ ETUDE - Soon Jung 10-Free Moist Emulsion This emulsion has a pH level of 6 which helps target dry or stressed skin.⁣ ⁣ I loved this emulsion. It is so lightweight and absorbs very quickly, perfect to pat on a damp face before doing the rest of your routine. This leaves skin soft but almost with no product feel. It is not very occlusive but I think this alone can be enough in the summer for oily skin. ⁣ ETUDE - SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream This contains dust defense which strengthens skin resistance and protects it from any harmful external particles. It is also formulated with shea butter and oil complex to deliver moisture to skin.⁣ ⁣ I expected this cream to be very thick in consistency but surprisingly, it was not. My oily skin loved it. This spreads well and absorbs in 10 minutes, does not feel heavy at all, but seals in every ingredients you put on skin nicely. Overall, a great product to add moisture without risking irritation or flaring breakouts. ⁣ ETUDE - SoonJung Cica Balm-Panthensoside 5 This gel-type balm is formulated with dust defense and panthenoside to restore and regenerate healthy skin.⁣ ⁣ This, again, is not as thick as I expected it to be. But I loved it! I enjoyed using this as an eye cream and a moisturizer around my mouth area which becomes dry sometimes. It feels very smooth, just melts on the skin and is non-greasy. This gives an immediate soothing effect. This will work great for people with dry skin or for those who don’t want a thick ointment like petrolatum to use on dry patches. ⁣ Overall, I really liked the products I’ve tried so far. I have received about 5 trial boxes, I actually haven’t finished them all, but i’m most likely gonna buy some full sizes afterward. I can highly recommend this line. Very sensitive skin-friendly and offer great value for the quality.

I recently used up several skincare products. I noticed that these two products are pretty hyped these days, so here is my honest review. I hope this is helpful. 👇 Youth To The People focuses on natural organic ingredients. I love their idea of using recyclable packaging and being cruelty-free. YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Limited Edition Pride Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser Main ingredients: Vitamin B5, vitamin C, kale leaf extract, spinach leaf extract and green tea leaf extract. Among the ingredients, the cleansing ingredient is considered gentle. Vitamin B5 and vitamin C provide a moisturizing and whitening effect while the various superfood extracts have great anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties. Feeling: It smells really nice, doesn't create a lot of foam and can be washed off easily. It's suitable for oily skin but I don't recommend it for those with dry skin as it leaves your skin dry after it's washed off. There's nothing special about it except for its nice scent. TATCHA TATCHA - The Water Cream Main ingredients: Rice ferment filtrate, green tea and algae. Rice bran keeps the skin hydrated, soothes it, and keeps it healthy. Feeling: I don't really like it as it contains exfoliating particles, causing my skin to break out in acne after using it just once. It has a jelly-like gel texture with beads that burst when it's rubbed into the skin. Simply massage it in until fully absorbed. I've read online that it's moisturizing, anti-aging and it minimizes the appearance of pores, but I didn't experience the latter two effects. It's quite moisturizing though, so I think it's suitable for both oily and dry skin. Have you used any of these products? How do you like it? Let me know😉

TATCHA!! I have never bought this product because I was afraid it would not work for my skin but I recently got this and let me tell you how much I love it🙌 The set I got has the deep cleanser as well as a water cream. The deep cleanser is marketed as a purifying cleanser that has natural fruit exfoliant. This product gently’s lifts the skin and balances the skins moisture. The water cream is a anti aging oil free moisturizer that releases a burst of skin improving nutrients. This cream hydrated the skin and smooths the skin as well. These products feels just perfect when you apply it on the skin and feels very light. I love this product and this is something everyone should try. These product can really work wonders for the skin. The products cost about $40-$80 depending on the size of the product. I decided to try this because I always wanted to try it so I finally bought it!! It’s very hydrating and has not made me break out at all. Highly recommended for everyone!! 5 full stars 🌟

Girl you KNOW I love a good skincare set. Especially one that lets me try new products (with a budget price) OR allows me to have convenient travel sizes when I travel. This kit (the Youth Mini Duo YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Cleanser + Cream Youth Duo Mini ) from Youth to the People has been available on YTTP’s website for over 2 years! It contains mini sizes of their cleanser & their lightweight moisture cream. I had previously tried their cleanser, which I LOVE (see below) but I hadn’t tried their moisture cream so I was excited to purchase this set! For $20 (this doesn’t have an advertised “value of”) I think this is a great deal! Plus their packaging is able to be recycled and up cycled! Here are my thoughts on each individual product: Cleanser: YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser 5/5 Likes: this cleanser is so hydrating omg. It has a very slight lather from its thick gel consistency and washes away for a squeaky clean finish (similar to bar soap) but it doesn’t feel drying at all. It is a great basic cleanser that doesn’t upset sensitive skin! Dislikes: WOW this smells very heavily of kale! Very earthy. I dislike that it doesn’t have a pump but it is a small inconvenience. Moisture cream: YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream 5/5 Likes: this cream...omg. It is such a UNIQUE experience. The cream itself is very light and airy, absorbing into the skin so fast! It did leave a somewhat matte appearance to my skin but no dry feeling. In fact, my skin felt EERILY soft. I was like? What? This is MY SKIN? Not a baby’s butt? Plus I always get wary of products with natural ingredients because they often set off my sensitive skin. Well, not this baby! Dislikes: again, the scent is VERY herbaceous + earthy. It doesn’t linger for long but wow. It does not smell pleasant. Have you tried anything from Youth to the People?
