we all know that some of us had cosrx's low ph good morning gel cleanser as our introduction to a good and non-stripping cleanse, it's really hard to get a cleanser that hydrates your skin and makes it feel clean and purified at the same time.

and some even lead to damaged skin barriers when used too frequently, i don't really see anyone talking about cleansers when they are one of the most crucial steps in a routine can you show me some of your favorite cleansers? here are mine :

holy grail cleansers?

hi! this is my first question ever on picky and i really don't know why but whenever i try a propolis product it eventually breaks me out and i have to discontinue it. i'd love it if you all recommend me products with propolis and i'd be willing to give it another try.

allergic to propolis, or just the wrong products?

i've read this article anout kpop idols doing weird skincare hacks that actually work, for example; only using your ring finger for application, oil cleansing for long periods of time, foaming up a cleanser in your hands before you put it on your face and more.

i remember the time i ordered snail gel that didn't work well with my skin so in ended up using it as a lip mask when i'm doing my skincare routine.

basically a weird hack of mine is using snail/aloe gels as lip masks when i'm putting on my skincare so my lips don't get dry and i can just wipe them off after and put on some lip balm.

share some of your weird skincare hacks / tricks in the comments!

i really wanted to see every single skin-type’s holy grail toners/essences. i have oily-resilient and dehydrated skin as of now so i look into toners that have hydrating, soothing, and mildly exfoliating properties, i really want to get to know some of yours ! :)

what effects do you look in when choosing a toner?

here are some of mine :

holy grail toners/essences !

i recently dipped too much into exfoliation and product testing that i damaged my skin barrier and i'm thinking of doing the essentials method (cleanser, moisturizer, spf) and i've been searching for a moisturizer that soothes the skin and repairs my skin barrier.

but i have oily skin so shea butter and other overly nourishing creams can clog my pores and or make my skin oilier so if you have any recommendations, i would love to hear them!

thank you so much!

barrier repair moisturizers for oily skin

the only thing that was bad for me was that it was only 50ml, literally just one thing. if this was perhaps 70-100ml it would be nice, but nevertheless A HOLY GRAIL

one of the best gel creams i’ve tried! i have oily-dehydrated-resilient skin and this is perfect for those times when you’re skin’s dehydrated but you don’t want that greasy feeling on your skin. 

this has SO many holy grail ingredients, those being green tea, centella asiatica, houttuynia cordata, panthenol, and niacinamide! 
green tea balances sebum levels and has so many antioxidants, 

centella asiatica and houttuynia cordata calm, soothe, and help treat acne, 

panthenol soothes and builds the skin barrier and niacinamide (the powerhouse ingredient) treats acne, repairs the skin barrier, brightens the skin, controls excessive oil production.

 all those ingredients in one and this includes so many hydrating ingredients too, promotes elasticity and repairs and nourishes the skin batrier with chlorella ferment.

 overall this is just a really good moisturizer! plus the packaging is very eco-friendly and can add in the aesthetics of your skincare collection. needly is becoming one of my favorite brands.
