I used a few different ones but my top two favorites was Vanicream and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.

Both of these gave lasting hydration, I love how they both left a barrier and both are on the heavier side on the skin which I was looking for.

Pro tip, I would use a oil on top of the moisturizer at night to really lock in that hydration. Petroleum is another great option.

I think the big mistake most people do is only use a oil, for example coconut oil. It definitely can help but if you really want to prevent stretch marks you need to use moisturizer to add hydration, oils only lock in hydration. So if you only use oil you are just locking in your natural skins moisture instead of adding additional hydration. Personally I think moisturizer is way more important than using a oil.

❌ I do think these mask are expensive for a one time use, which is disappointing
❌ I couldn't find any info on whether these are biodegradable so that leads me to believe they aren't

🔆 I was not expecting to like this mask, it seemed very gimmicky but it honestly does exactly what it advertise
🔆 Firstly the cream you apply on first is HEAVY,  they are not screwing around with this thickness and richness. I felt like I was putting on a facemask of cream
🔆 Then you apply the rubber mask and that just locks everything in and allows your skin to absorb the cream
🔆 I probably left my mask on for 2-3 hours before I felt my skin had absorb what it could
🔆 I did noticed a cooling sensation mostly around the nose, I think this was due to the mask being rubber
🔆 After removing the mask my skin was hydrated, glowing and my fine lines had been temporarily diminished
🔆 Everything into consideration I do like this product and I think for anyone who really suffers from dry skin could really benefit from this. Just be mindful of the waste it creates and try to use it when you really need it 

What makes me keep coming back to the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel?
🔆 this sunscreen is a holy grail for many, and it's easy to see why. There's no white cast, it doesn't burn the eyes, and it's lightweight yet hydrating!
🔆 it's the type of SPF I look forward to reapplying. It doesn't pill up with other products or makeup 
🔆 it leaves a lovely glow to my skin but not too much that I look oily
🔆 this is what I recommend to SPF newbies 
🔆 It's well-rounded for all skin types, even sensitive 
🔆 With the different blends of Hyaluronate Acid I find this to be quite hydrating 
🔆 This also contains Centella Asiatica which is great for calming and soothing 
🔆 lastly, Isntree has been transparent about the testing this product has undergone to achieve its SPF rating of 50+ PA++++

🔆 I really did like this toner but I think for me being oily skin this would be too heavy in the summer but perfect for fall and winter
 🔆 I found it to be on the heavy side personally, I wouldn’t say it’s lightweight but it is comfortable to apply

The Claims:
🔆 improve skin tone and texture 
🔆 lightweight and hydrating 
🔆 helps to removed dead skin, remove blackheads and helps to make pores appear smaller
🔆 key ingredients are Salicylic Acid, Aloe, and Snail Secretion Filtrate
🐇 Cruelty Free 

My Thoughts:
🔆 this is a very gentle BHA that is effective and hydrating
🔆 a little goes a long way with this one, I noticed instant hydration and glow. If I added too much it did take a while to absorb 
🔆 while using this I didn’t experience any new acne and the couple I did have healed away nicely 
🔆 I really did like this toner but I think for me being oily skin this would be too heavy in the summer but perfect for fall and winter 
🔆 if you have sensitive/dry skin and suffer from acne I really think this could be a great option!
