Hi, everyone!

Since I moved away from using makeup wipes in an effort to be more eco friendly, I use a makeup eraser cloth first before using a cleansing balm as the first step of my double cleanse. My holy grail cleansing balm is the Banila Co Clean It Zero in the Purifying version! I find that it helps break down my makeup exceptionally well. 

I do full glam makeup looks often on my IG, so I wanted a product that would help ensure that I won't be leaving any product left on my face so that it doesn't clog my pores or break me out.

What cleansing balms or oils do you like using to remove your makeup?

Thanks in advance! ❤️

Cleansing Balm or Cleansing Oil for makeup removal?

Hi, everyone!

I don't know about anyone else, but layering serums is my favorite part of my skincare routine! I was wondering what were your favorite serum combinations that you like to layer together. 

Currently, I'm really liking The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule and the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum together. Can't wait to hear your faves! ❤️

Favorite serums to layer?

For the jar size, this is definitely on the pricier side for a cleansing balm.

☁️ Fragrance free (perfect for sensitive skin) 
☁️ Hypoallergenic
☁️ Formulated with 7 different types of all-natural extracts for balanced and healthy skin

This balm melts off all my makeup and dirt of the day seamlessly with just a quarter size amount. I enjoy using it as the first step to my double cleansing routine as my oil-based cleanser. The best part is that it doesn&#39;t leave a weird film on my face and washes off super well without being drying. I also don&#39;t have to worry about any blurriness in the eyes which I get with other cleansing balms. Definitely will be repurchasing this in the future!

I can&#39;t say this eye cream has done much to reduce the appearance of my fine lines.

Over the past year, my eyes have been super dry for some reason, especially on the lids. This eye cream has helped a lot! It provides great hydration and is a silky consistency. Has kept any dry patches at bay. As for my hyperpigmentation, on days that I get adequate sleep, I do find that this eye cream helps in making my eyes appear less dull and more awake.

💭 As far as scent goes, there&#39;s a pleasant floral chamomile scent that doesn&#39;t irritate my skin or give me a headache. On the mild side. But if you aren&#39;t a fan of floral scents, this may not be for you. 

💭 This essence also might be too hydrating for combo to oily skin and is better suited for dehydrated to normal skin!

Product Highlights:
🔸Formulated with 87% snail secretion filtrate 🐌
🔸Azulene extracted from chamomile to provide calming benefits 🌼
🔸Other star ingredients include betaine, allantoin, and panthenol for added hydration and anti-inflammatory properties 💦
🔸Claims to prevent moisture loss and restore skin balance ⚖️

💭 I find the texture of this essence sooo satisfying! Because of its high concentration of snail secretion filtrate, the consistency is quite viscous (similar to a serum) without being sticky. I only need about four drops to cover my entire face. There&#39;s a really pleasant slip to this essence that feels really silky on the skin. This essence works wonders on my dry, acne-prone sensitive skin! It feels super hydrating and I love how the finish leaves.my skin feeling baby soft and smooth.

Absorbs quickly in minutes, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and really nourished. It does a great job at calming down any irritation&#47;acne and got rid of all of my dry patches!

I don’t notice any real difference in brightening in my skin yet after a month of using it. I also felt this was more nourishing than hydrating (but still very hydrating!). When my face is feeling more sensitized, I do find that this toner stings my face just the slightest amount, possibly from the Niacinimide.

My face always feels very supple after using this toner. I will say that this toner has helped tremendously in my efforts to repair my skin barrier because of its soothing properties and its ability to work well with other products in my routine. Adds a nice layer of hydration to my skin and preps my skin well for my essences and serums. Highly recommend this for sensitive skin and all skin types!
