BOTANICS

If you have oily/combo skin it's very likely that you stray away from facial oils. I completely get that, why would adding extra oil keep oiliness away? It seems strange but I promise you: You don't need to be afraid of facial oils! Let's talk general benefits... Wrinkle Reduction: most facial oils are formulated with antioxidants that can prevent signs of aging Revive Dry Skin: they can be more effective than traditional lotions and creams Skin Protectant: they will penetrate deeply to keep water & other hydration trapped in and free radicals out; strengthen the natural skin barrier Makeup Primer: using an oil as a primer can smooth, hydrate, and plump the skin for a perfect base Soothing: anti-inflammatory benefits can work to banish blemishes & oils that cause them! (i.e. tea tree oil — diluted or skin safe please check this before purchasing! — is a great spot treatment for pesky breakouts) All of these are amazing benefits and just because you have combination or oily skin that doesn't mean that you don't get to enjoy them! Let's talk about how facial oils & oily skin work together... Overactive oil production by no means equates to being moisturized correctly! I am guilty of this, but using products & methods that will strip away your oils can have reverse effects. If you strip away the natural oils of the skin over and over, the skin will begin to overproduce said oil to make up for what it thinks it's missing. So the key is: BALANCE. If you try out facial oil it could potentially help you balance out your skin and also help keep moisture in without adding anything to greasy or heavy weight onto it. Let's talk product... These are two of my current favorite facial oils! I included my favorite skin safe tea tree oil. I also would like to recommend DILUTED or SKIN SAFE frankincense oil for dark spot correction. ACURE - Seriously Soothing Blue Tansy Night Oil This oil does state that it is a night oil. I use it for that purpose after a beach, pool day, or whenever my skin needs an extra boost of hydration. If I'm not using it for that, then I use it as a makeup primer. Definitely soothing & a great beginner oil. Lightweight texture & I normally need 1 - 1.5 pumps for my full face. My base applies so smoothly over top of this product, I use it over top of the Elf Poreless Primer Putty & it's become my normal routine! Highly recommend. BOTANICS - 100% Organic Nourishing Facial Oil This oil is definitely a little thicker, it is rosehip based so it is amazing for deep penetrating moisturization! This has the traditional oil texture & I normally need a full dropper for my full face. JĀSON - 100% Organic Oil, Tea Tree This is safe to use directly from the bottle. Only a little onto a q-tip & that will help dry out breakouts. I hope this opened your eyes to the word of facial oils, as always please do your OWN research for your skin type! Good luck! ❤️

BOTANICS - Shine Away Mattifying Toner This toner is pretty great! I have oily face and have large pores, so I like to use toners that help control oiliness and diminish pores due to thorough cleaning. This is the second time that I’ve bought this product and I discovered this product on Walgreens, since I tend to buy products that are affordable. So I’ve used this product for a couple of months already. It contains willow bark which is great at exfoliating the pores with salicin, while also targetting acne production. This also contains a powder that helps with mattifying the skin. It is also derived from natural products, so that’s a plus! It glides super smoothly on your skin, it’s like you almost can’t feel it, so it’s not strong or irritating at all. The reason for why I give it four stars is because it hasn’t been the best at controlling my oiliness. I also haven’t seen much difference in my pores’ size. I do feel that stronger toners have suited me better, since I also have a high tolerance (due to my basic pH). Maybe my face is also too oily, but I would still recommend it, for those who are looking to try out new toners and have more sensitive or low tolerant skin while still dealing with oily features.

This is my march night skin routine Part I Skin type: Oily, Acne, scarring, pores 🌙 Night Cleanse 🌙 The Products 1) FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm Effective at removing makeup, with a very pleasant green-tea herbal scent. However, its a bit pricey for me 2) BOTANICS - All Bright Cleansing Facial Wipes Inexpensive, good at taking off makeup, and full of brightening ingredients that treat as you take your makeup off. win-win! 3) Neutrogena - Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub An oldie but a trusted goodie: this scrub is inexpensive and has the active ingredient of salicylic acid along with an excellent grapefruit scent. Im not a fan of the beads as much though 🌙 After a long day of wearing makeup, making sure all of it is off my skin is super important. Any debris could clog me up and make my skin break out in awful awful painful zits. So i get a dollop of the Farmacy Green Clean and rub it into my face, then remove all makeup with the Botanics Facial Wipes. 🌙With my makeup removed, I wash my face with cold water and the anti-acne Neutrogena wash. This removes any traces of makeup, dissolves oil, and cleanses my skin so its ready for my night treatment. 🌙While my products may vary, I always double cleanse. Remover + soap, oil Soap + soap, it makes a difference in my skin Please see my profile for in-depth individual product breakdowns!
