Thank You Farmer Rice Essential Toner
Rice in skincare isn't new to us by now and weather it is in sunscreen, toner or serum it is definitely a great ingredient. Today I will be reviewing the Thank You Farmer Rice Essential Toner. 

Ingredients: Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water, Glycerin etc. 

Experience: I have noticed major difference in my skin's natural glow and hydration. When my skin has been irritated this toner has been my go to and the fact that it doesn't have a particular fragrance also has helped my sensitive skin. I think it is all skin type friendly. I actually like that it isn't in a glass packaging but plastic because at 200ml I am afraid it would break. Its texture is milky and leaves the face with a nice glow. I have also noticed a brightening effect over time. Definitely worth the hype. Would totally rebuy.

It takes a lot of effort with waterproof makeup like mascara and it needs more rubbing to cleanse well. 

Skin1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil

If you don't double cleanse then in 2023 you should definitely start to. Why? Because as I have always mentioned the first cleanser will break down any makeup, remove dirt and excess oils from the day and clean your skin. The second cleanser will address your particular skin type or concern and should have ingredients to hydrate, smooth or exfoliate and treat acne(source: Dermastore). This Skin004 oil cleanser has been in my routine for the past month.

Ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil etc.

My experience: Cleansing oils are definitely my favorites compared to other products used to firstly cleanse. This one in particular is very lightweight, almost like water and 2 pumps are more than enough to completely melt down makeup, sunscreen and impurities. It has a very nice fragrance(slightly like citrus) which hasn't given me any irritations or discomfort. It doesn't sting my eyes and it emulsifies quite well in contact with water. The milky texture that it has when in contact with water is easy to take off. It isn't drying or leaves the skin feeling oily. 

The fragrance could be annoying or irritating to some people. Sticky at first but then gets absorbed easily

Nacific Sun Essence SPF 50+ PA++++

Ingredients: Niacinamide, Glycerin, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Adenosine, Tocopherol etc.

Texture: As seen on the picture the texture is very lightweight and easy to absorb. I have oily acne prone skin and my skin has absolutely loved the texture so I didn't notice any pilling, itching, whitecast or irritations.
 
My experience: The first thing that I noticed was the fragrance; citrus and floral. A combination that didn't bother me at all and I actually really enjoyed applying. It leaves a nice glowy and kind of matte finish but not extra glowy and shiny. It has been really comfortable on the skin and hydrating too.
I see myself reaching for this sunscreen a lot in my shelf and it has become a recent favorite. Would love to try out more from Nacific.

Not anything bad that I could say. Just wouldn't totally recommend it for oily skin in the hot days but any other skin type would love it all year around.

Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water Fit Sun Serum SPF 50+

I have been trying out this sunscreen for the past few weeks because of the hype everywhere, so I had to try it. It definitely didn't disappoint!!

Ingredients: Niacinamide, Glycerin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate and many more. 

Texture: This SPF is labeled as a sun serum and it actually has a very light texture that sinks into the skin really easily. It doesn't leave a white cast, sticky or greasy feeling. It doesn't burn my eyes or pill which is really rare to find in SPFs nowadays. I find it perfect for my oily skin in the winter because it is also moisturising. 

Experience: I have been loving this sunscreen and it has quickly been added on my top 5 SPFs list. It leaves a slight glowy and kind of matte finish and the pump is very convenient for application and reapplication. I have to say that I actually really like the slight fragrance this SPF has because it doesn't bother me at all. Will definitely repurchase.

Nothing to say honestly. My absolute favorite!!

Missha Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 Pa ++++
As I have mentioned before there is no good skincare routine without SPF. Today I will share my thoughts about this Missha Essence Sun Milk. As an oily skin person this SPF has been re-bought more times than I can remember. Here's why:
•It is lightweight 
•Doesn't leave a whitecast
•Doesn't pill or feel sticky 
•Doesn't sting my eyes and hasn't given me any problems(like rashes)
•Easy to absorb
•Reapplication is super easy because of the light texture
•Leaves a healthy, glowy look that I adore but it doesn't look like extra oil on the skin.
This is my holy grail sunscreen that I keep rebuying each time I don't know what to purchase. Missha has a Soft Finish version that is targeted for oily skin but I haven't tried it yet because I've loved this one. 10000/10 for m
