I was wondering if moisturizers with spf in it is just as effective as sunscreens are? I usually use a moisturizer without spf and then sunscreen on top in the mornings but I have really oily skin in the summer but as of recently my face has been super dry due to my acne medication (not accutane, it’s something prescribed that I am allowed to use with other products) and I was thinking of buying two different moisturizers with spf in it. the cerave one for when my skin is dry and the differin one when my skin feels super oily. But what I am wondering is, is moisturizers with spf in it still just as effective as a sunscreen? If you have any recommendations that would also be great too because I see the ratings for these moisturizers aren’t as good. I appreciate all the support and help, thank you so much!

moisturizer or sunscreen

Hey everyone! I usually use cotz sunscreen but it irritates my acne breakouts and leaves this film on my face. I don’t like the feeling it leaves on my skin either. Does anyone have any sunscreen recommendations for oily and acne prone skin? I really would appreciate all input and comments from anyone willing to help me find a good sunscreen. I need to find something that is under $20+ so that it is affordable for me and something that actually protects me from sun damage and collecting hyperpigmentation on my face. I would really appreciate the help thank you so much! ❤️

Let’s talk about suncare

I currently use an oil cleanser by burt’s bees to remove my makeup because I have found it works better than the balm by good molecules that I used to use. both products are tagged.

I struggle to remove all my makeup mostly just my mascara at night when I do my double cleanse.

Can someone please help me find a good oil cleanser or balm that is really good for removing all stubborn makeup especially eye makeup. 

I would even be willing to go back and try cleansing balms again if it’s better than the one I tagged.

Acne HGs

Does anyone have an AFFORDABLE and EFFECTIVE lash serum recommendation? I have used Grande Lash but I cannot keep repurchasing it with my budget right now. I also have Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Lash Serum but I didn’t like it even though it was affordable, it made my eyelids dry, itchy and flakey. Then I won a serum in a giveaway and it made my kids flakey and dry but not itchy. I feel like when looking for a lash serum it’s a lot of trial and error with effectiveness vs affordability vs breakouts. There is a lot that goes into purchasing one and I really want to find an affordable one that works really well!

Lash Serum??

What I do not like is the fact it contains a lot of fragrances! Thankfully the fragrance doesn’t bother me but it could bother someone else. I just think masks should not have strong fragrances like that. 

I absolutely love this mask. I bought for myself for christmas last year and it has been super effective at absorbing the oil on my face. What’s nice about this mask is that it’s a ten minute mask so it doesn’t take too much time to be effective. 

The only thing I don’t like is it clumps a little bit but it’s not like as noticeable as other mascaras I have tried.

I love this mascara so much it’s my one of my top five makeup products that I go for whenever I’m doing my makeup which is pretty frequently. I like how dark it makes my lashes look even though my lashes are already really dark naturally. I also like the amount of volume and even length it gave my lashes. You can see in the photo how much my lashes on my right eye look dark and bolder.

Honestly, this is my holy grail mascara product and it’s an always must have in my collection! 

I did not experience any irritation or negative reaction on my fave from this product, I use it a lot when I do not feel good and need a pick me up. Overall I have nothing bad to say about this product. 

This is my favorite affordable mask for excess sebum production. What’s nice is for such a big 6 oz bottle it is less than 5 dollars on multiple shopping sites. It is effective for me and my oily skin. This mask really helps balance the moisture level in the skin and to treat clogged pores. Obviously overnight it does not work but over time it helps to only AID in unclogging pores but it cannot do it alone so do not expect it to. But it is really good for all skin types especially ones with oily skin or acne. If you have cystic acne I would not recommend this or many products in general because you should get it treated by a professional if you can. But overall 10/10 from me and if youre looking for a mask to help with unwanted sebum collection this mask is your new bestie! 

These pads are so worth the price if you’re looking for some sort of product that can soothe redness, cool sensitivity, and can deeply moisturize. This product is a great one to turn to for times where your skin has a negative reaction to a product too! This is a lifesaver! 

i really did like this toner because it’s super hydrating. it contains 5 layers of hyaluronic acid which is amazing. i love how moisturizing it is without stripping my face of its natural oils.
