Where do you usually get those pesky breakouts? I usually get them on my chin area nowadays (especially during that time of the month), making it so hard for my pimple patches to make it through the day. Those pimples usually take months to heal because it takes time for them to come to the surface and pop. Ugh, I hate them a lot.

Luckily, I received this product for free from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @skin1004official in exchange for my honest review on these new pimple patches.

These patches were tested for 2-3 weeks before coming up with my honest opinions. Conveniently, I got to use these pimple patches when approaching my period, when my skin usually wreaks havoc in the form of the most stubborn hormonal acne along my chin and jawline. These pimple patches basically got the true test of judgment.

Trying the Tea-Trica Treatment

Tea-Trica Spot Cover Patch currently retails at $2.50 USD on Stylevana for a pack of 22 patches of various sizes. Each patch contains hydrocolloid to soak up fluids from within the pimple so that it can dry out and properly heal. To go along with the themed skincare line, these pimple patches use tea tree to help soothe skin and dry out pimples so that it can speedily heal and minimize blemishes.

If you’re interested in trying this product out for yourself, you can save 10% on your purchase at Stylevana if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at the checkout. You can even get 15% off your purchase if you spend at least $59 USD with my discount code on Stylevana. I do receive a small percentage of commission if you use the code.

Why are these patches supposed to work well? There are some unique details to the pimple patch design to help your skin become its healthiest version:

• Medical-Grade Hydrocolloid: The sheet is supposed to have a strong adhesive that can stick to your skin without irritation and trap moisture for a smooth healing process. Creating this strong seal also helps prevent more bacteria from infecting the pimple and prolonging the healing process.
• Beveling Technique: The pimple patch is slimmer at the edges so that the patch is thinner and closer to your skin tone. Think of it as the skincare ninja that works in secret.
• Semi-Cut Film: The patches are all along a piece of semi-cut plastic that you can rip accordingly as you use the patches up.
• Centella Asiatica: Centella Asiatica is commonly used to treat inflammation and redness in skincare so that the recovery process for pimples can be faster and more hygienic.

A Patch Made in Heaven

Sealable Packaging

I appreciate the hygienic double packaging (one for opening the patches and the exterior for traveling or extended use). With this design, the pimple patches can also become travel-friendly. There are 22 patches of small, medium, and large sizes in the bag. This is because the patches are supposed to be when the pimple is ready to breakout or when it in the blemish stage.

Easy to Peel Without Breakage

The patches can be easily ripped out from the sheet without warping, which is a problem I’ve noticed in other patches in the past. I hate when the patches get caught onto the plastic sheets because it prevents my pimples from being properly protected. These Skin 1004 pimple patches don’t have that issue at all.

Unscented and Gentle for Sensitive Skin

There’s no scent to these if you are concerned with any tea tree scents. My skin did not break out from using these pimple patches during my testing period. Removing these pimple patches after every use was not a hassle and didn’t cling to my skin. Therefore, I think that the patches are a perfect solution for sensitive skin types.

Hidden in Plain Sight

Upon opening the patches, I was super impressed with how thin and transparent these patches are! When I put them on my pimple, they seamlessly blended into my tan skin. I would forget I was wearing these pimples sometimes when I touch my skin because they were very thin. The only time I would notice their presence, of course, was when the hydrocolloid absorbed the pus and cause a white dot to appear.

The patches are very comfortable and thin, so you can put makeup on top or wear them while working out (which I did for about 2 weeks). One thing I find annoying when trying pimple patches is when you can see the patch with makeup and it is marketed as a “makeup-friendly patch.” Since the patch design is beveled, the patch does a better job at blending into my skin and hiding under my rather lightweight makeup.

Noticeable Results

I was lucky enough to go through my time of the month to show noticeable progress pictures. This patch is thin and sturdy for even the chin/mouth area and lasted the whole night. My whole experience using these patches was near my mouth and chin, which are usually the hardest places for pimple patches to stick. These pimples definitely passed the hormonal acne test and are reliable for my period acne.

You can clearly see the results and how well it did at sucking up oil from my pimple. By the end of my testing period, my pesky pimple became close to healed. Seeing the progress pictures definitely wowed me. I had to do a double-take.

Were There Any Cons?

No cons! I wish there were more pimple patches in the packaging, which is an excellent con to have lol. But the price point for these is pretty good!

Would I repurchase?

Most definitely! For those with blemishes that are hard to heal or usually break out along their chin area like myself, consider using these for your next breakout. The patches are grippy enough to last throughout the day (sleeping, working out, under the heat, you name it). If you want a patch that can be so comfy and invisible on your skin, Skin 1004’s pimples are your best bet.

I was very impressed with how thin and sturdy these patches were. They are very makeup-friendly if you wear makeup very frequently. As someone who usually wears more natural makeup, these ones hide pretty well.

I highly recommend them for early and late-stage breakouts. The pimple design is more meant for when your pimples hit a breaking point and have to pop. These are supposed to help with healing your skin, so I wouldn’t think they are very effective when you have early-stage breakouts.

The post The Perfect Pimple Patch Exists! Say Hello to the Skin 1004 Tea-Trica Spot Cover Patch appeared first on Style Oh My.

What do you like to do to calm down? I love listening to music (especially SZA’s SOS album or Lofi music, currently) and winding down with a nice book. When your skin needs to calm down, maybe it’s in need of a clarifying face wash! Clarifying face washes can help reveal a clean slate for your skin. I’m sure we can all use a clean slate after the work and stress we can experience throughout the week.

I received the following product for free from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @skin1004official in exchange for my honest review. This product was integrated into my nighttime routine for 2-3 weeks before I could come up with honest thoughts on how effective it is for my skin.

Try the Tea-Trica!

Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica BHA Foam retails at $14.00 USD on their website. This foaming facial cleanser is meant for acne-prone skin because it can clear your skin of excess oil and sebum that can clog your pores and cause breakouts.

If you want to try out the product for yourself, you can purchase this cleansing foam at a 10% discount by using my Stylevana discount code INF10OHMY at checkout. You can also receive 15% off your purchase at Stylevana if you buy at least $59 USD with my discount code. I do receive a small percentage of commission if you use it.

This clarifying formula is effective for your skin because of key ingredients like the following:

• Centella Asiatica: Centella Asiatica is a great ingredient for oily and acne-prone skin because it deals with inflammation and wound healing. If you deal with redness, this ingredient helps relieve your skin so that it looks soothed and relaxed.
• Tea Tree: Tea tree has anti-microbial properties that can clear your skin of dirt and oil that can clog your pores and delay the pimple healing process. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it another product used to combat redness.
• Pine Tree Complex: Pine tree is used in medical practices for wound healing and for infections. In the skincare realm, pine tree is used for anti-aging and hyperpigmentation. This makes it a great ingredient for dry skin, especially, since the moisture benefits from pine tree can create a healthy surface to support skin cell generation.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): This acid is frequently used in skincare products that are designed to wipe out excess oil, sebum, and dirt. It also has anti-microbial properties, so using it as an exfoliator for dead skin can help fade out hyperpigmentation and blemishes.

A Spa Treatment at Your Fingertips

Simple but Trustworthy Packaging

The bottle is large and sturdy, so it is a great product to carry for traveling. I do have to say that this product is super thick (not exaggerating), so it can be harder to squeeze out the foam wash when you are closer to emptying. The formula consistency also means that you don’t have to worry about it spilling out in any circumstance.

Spa-Like Scent

When you open the product, you get a light smell of tea tree and Centella Asiatica (similar to eucalyptus, if you’ve never smelled it before). I personally love whenever I have products that give that minty fresh type of feeling or make you feel relaxed. This scent opinion of mine is subjective, but some people may not like it.

Cream-to-Foam Wash

The product itself is a thick, slightly sparkly white paste that transforms into a creamy, milky lather with water. If you didn’t know what the product was, you can probably mistake it for toothpaste because of its thickness. Putting the wash in contact with water will help transform it into some suds.

Due to the consistency of the face wash, I do want to mention that the wash-off time can vary based on how much product you use. If you use a small amount of product, then washing it off can be very easy. If you use more than that, keep in mind that you will have to work into the product more to really wash off the remaining residue.

Long-Time Usage

I used a pea size amount of product for my dry skin over the course of 2.5 weeks and I never broke out. I actually saw improvement with the skin in my chin area since that’s where I usually break out. My blemishes did slightly fade away after using the product on a consistent basis. Fading out blemishes in my chin area can be tiresome, so it’s nice to find a product that can alleviate the process.

You don’t need a lot of product for washing your face, so I estimate that this face wash can last in your skincare collection for around 4-5 months.

I also tried using this as a body acne solution since I sometimes have bacne (back acne) and chest acne. This face wash was nice for clearing out excess oil and dirt and healing blemishes for those areas. If you need a body acne skincare routine, then consider adding this as a targeted body wash before using your usual body wash and lotion.

Cooled Down, Cool Skin

Using this product leaves my face feeling soothed, cooled down, and less red aka it calms down. My skin gets red very easily and this face wash did not irritate my dry skin at all.

If you deal with oily skin or are in humid areas, this face wash might also be perfect for you due to the clarifying formula.

You May Not Enjoy This Face Wash If …

Severely Dry Skin

No cons for me personally, but if you do have a damaged skin barrier, I recommend using this when your skin has improved. My skin was in its lowest when I had a damaged skin barrier and that skin state is when exfoliating products like this one aren’t suitable. If your skin is very dry, for this same reason I would have to not recommend this formula.

For both of these skin types, if you really think you might need this product, please use this every 2-3 days. Go in with products that focus on moisturizing and hydrating your skin afterwards so that your skin gets the support needed for a healthy recovery.

Dislike Strong Scents

If you’re not into tea tree oil or tea tree scents, then you might not like this one. Some people really hate these types of scents and I felt it was necessary to make a small section to emphasize the strong scent.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! I was pleasantly surprised with how my skin looked and felt after using this cleanser. In my opinion, it is comparable to Tatcha’s rice wash since it is a creamy face wash formula, but more affordable.

The post The BEST Face Wash for Acne Prone Skin Has to Be Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica BHA Foam appeared first on Style Oh My.

When starting your skincare journey, it’s very difficult to find a skincare product that works for you. You have to go through trial and error, and maybe end up wasting money and time on a product that makes your skin worse than before. What if I told you that there’s a product that can help moisturize your skin without breaking out?

I recently received the Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer from Bubble Skincare to test out and review. This was part of their dry skin trio, so I do have more Bubble products that I will be talking about in the future. I used the moisturizer for both day and nighttime routines for a month in order to give you some thorough feedback.

What Makes Their Hydrating Moisturizer So Special?

The Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer from Bubble Skincare retails for $16.00 USD on Ulta or on their website. It is an everyday moisturizer for dry to normal skin types.

Bubble’s moisturizer is setting up your skin for success. Not only is the moisturizer vegan and cruelty-free, it is designed to be suitable for normal to dry skin because of its amazing skincare superstars, including:

• Aloe Leaf Juice: Aloe contains an antioxidant that protects, soothes, and moisturizes the skin. It is a trustworthy solution to healing wounds, sunburns, and blemishes. Aloe also is known to help seal in moisture, making it a great skincare essential for oily skin and dry skin.
• Vitamin E: This ingredient is a potent antioxidant that helps fights off the inflammation and damage that can come from UV rays and other environmental stressors so that your skin can heal faster.
• Avocado Oil: Besides being another great source of vitamin E, avocados are also used for treating wounds and blemishes. It has properties that allow it to help inflammation and redness, common symptoms of dry and flaky skin.
• Hoya Lacunosa Flower Oil: The plant can help soothe skin and promote a more radiant, glowing complexion since it has antioxidant properties. It also can be used to provide moisture to the skin so that it is more supple and smooth.
• Superfood Proteins: Superfoods help with boosting your health, and that includes your skin’s health, too. They help firm up your skin by promoting collagen production and boosting hydration so that your skin is protected against blue light damage.

An interesting part of this formula is that it is supposed to protect your skin from blue light. I also noticed this with another skincare product I had tried and was confused if this was a trend or a marketing ploy. However, blue light seems to have some interesting effects on your health that you didn’t realize.

Why Should I Care About Blue Light Exposure?

Blue light is usually associated with sunlight exposure, but it also can come from our screens. Computers, phones, TV’s, and so on. We are pretty much reliant on technology for day-to-day tasks, so we may need SPF more often than we initially thought.

There have been some studies that report blue light can help with some skin conditions. These benefits are more associated with a short period of exposure to powerful wavelengths of light. The positive findings are also correlated to sources of blue light that aren’t artificial.

Recent findings have shown that prolonged exposure to blue light from artificial sources like tech can actually worsen our skin by speeding up the aging process. This means that you would be more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles due to the production of free radicals in blue light. Free radicals are defined as unstable oxygen molecules that can mess with cellular structures. These structures include your DNA, lipids, and proteins, which are essential for your skin to remain firm and protected from outside factors.

If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, blue light may also be the cause or exacerbator. Since the blue light is weakening your skin barrier, this means your skin is lacking the support aka the cellular structures needed to help your skin heal faster. The next time you turn on your phone or laptop, consider putting your devices on dark mode to lessen the blue light. You can always take action by starting with skin-boosting skincare like this moisturizer.

It Was a Slam Dunk

Stand-Out Packaging

Packaging is so cute and is super sturdy plastic! Love the flower applicator for a clean application. Typically, I’m not a huge fan of the pump packaging style because I like knowing when I run out of product to restock. I can look past that with this one because squeezing out the product is very easy compared to other pump package products I have used in the past.

Easy to Use

I used the moisturizer for my day and nighttime routines. In my opinion, 1-2 pumps of product were enough to cover my face and neck immediately after using toners and serums. During the wintertime, I’m more careful with making sure my creams aren’t too thick for breakout prevention. Using the moisturizer on wet skin was no issue and my skin looked and felt great.

If spreadability is your concern for skin care, you will like this one. I have a medium skin tone and I did not have any white cast. It took me less than 20 seconds probably to make sure the product was absorbed into my skin.

Sensitive-Skin Friendly

Using the moisturizer was a dream. The cream is very lightweight and has no scent, making it friendly for sensitive skin types. There are no essential oils in this formula that can cause concern for unexpected breakouts. When my skin was in its dry and flaky period, I am sure that my skin and I would have thoroughly enjoyed using this product if it hit the market in 2019.

My Skin Did Improve

On top of my skin not breaking out while using this formula, I do think that my skin definitely improved. The moisturizer left my skin with a natural finish so it won’t clog your pores. Sometimes, I would forget that I had moisturizer on because it didn’t have that heavy, oily residue that can be an issue. It just felt like my skin, but a million times better.

Since my skin felt great using the product, I can say that I did see an improvement in terms of blemishes and breakouts. My skin did not turn red or have an increase of breakouts (or “purge”) during use. My blemishes did look lighter since the moisturizer has a great ingredient list to protect my skin.

What’s Not to Like with This Moisturizer?

Literally, nothing to dislike about the Slam Dunk Moisturizer. Going back to my previous point, I think the only issue is the pump packaging for some people. I personally like knowing how much product is in the package, but some people might prefer this because it is hygienic or aesthetic. The formula is great and worth a try.

Would I repurchase?

Usually I’m not a fan of not being able to see the product to see when I run out, but I actually love the packaging. It’s a cute way to keep your product clean and ready to keep your skin clear and nourished. I was pleasantly surprised with how good my skin was looking after consistent use. This is a great product for beginners to skincare or even for the skincare obsessed (like me haha).

I wish I can tell you that I finished the product in this review, but my mom took it from me because she wanted to try it for herself. It’s her favorite skincare product for the same reasons that I have, so I think the moisturizer is also a great choice for mature skin.

The post Bubble’s Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer is the MVP (Most Valuable Product) appeared first on Style Oh My.

If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s got to be our major dislike for acne. Those pesky pimples and blackheads always kill the vibe when I’m putting on my makeup. We can’t all have glowing, blemish-free skin …

My Dry, Acne-Prone Skin Story

It wasn’t until last year where my skin suffered big-time with acne. With major life and diet changes, your body will get the best of you and change up your skin for the worst. College isn’t only the culprit of the dreaded Freshman 15, it’s also the culprit of no-good acne for some.

I would most commonly get cystic acne popping up around my jawline and my cheekbones.

College was when my skin went from clear and smooth to dry, flaky, and severely acne-prone. I would most commonly get cystic acne popping up around my jawline and my cheekbones. Going from clear skin to insanely flaky and pimply skin was a huge shocker (to say the least).

My skin became so bad that I would get asked by relatives “What happened to your face?” I would even get a couple awkward glances from strangers while working out at the gym. Having a severe acne outbreak really made me insecure and stressed!

Since there are not many videos or articles you can find on the Internet that tackle dry, acne-prone skin, I am here to help! My skincare journey towards returning to clear skin took probably 10-12 months. No one else should suffer that long.

After lots of experimenting and research, here are just some staple skincare products that did WONDERS for my skin within 4 months.

10. A moisturizing Micellar Water Makeup Remover for the cleanest face of your life!

Whether you’re caked in makeup or going au naturelle, a powerful skin care routine always starts with how you are removing all that buildup and pollutants. If your makeup remover doesn’t do its job well, then how the heck will your other skin care products work?

What’s so great about micellar water? Can’t any makeup remover work just fine?

Everyone’s skin is different and not all products are suitable for all types of skin. It usually takes me 1-2 makeup wipes to get rid of dirt and makeup on my face. By the end of it, my face is stinging and looks cherry tomato red. That is never a good sign for sensitive skin!

On the other hand, micellar water manages to clean and tone your skin while removing makeup and buildup. It manages to keep my skin moisturized because of glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which are well-known to help retain skin’s moisture levels.

One micellar water makeup remover I absolutely love is the Micellar Water Ultra Cleanser by La Roche-Posay! The 750 mL bottle is $24.99, and has enough product to last me 2 to 3 months. Honestly, it’s SO worth your money!

Here’s why people love La Roche-Posay’s Micellar Water:

9. A Reliable Cleansing Balm for the most stubborn makeup and pollutants

Wait. You just talked about makeup remover. Do you really need another remover product?

When going heavy on the makeup, it’s important to remove it without pulling and tugging so much on your face. Dry skinned people are more likely to wrinkle faster, and with sensitive skin, it’s a double whammy for irritation central.

If you’re cautious about removing your makeup, like myself, you must keep a cleansing balm on hand. Cleansing balms contain oils that are necessary to keep your skin hydrated. This is especially important because removing makeup can be abrasive and take out moisture from your face. After washing the balm off, if you still think your face isn’t clean, then you can use some micellar water!

A great cleansing balm to purchase would have to be the Thermal Cleansing Balm by Omorovicza. Just a quarter-sized dollop of this balm draws out impurities and dissolves hard-to-remove makeup like waterproof mascara. With power like that, it makes sense why it is a winner for the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2020!

Here’s what people love about the Thermal Cleansing Balm:

8. A Gentle Facial Cleanser that will keep you out of Irritation Central for good…

Why is a foaming face wash/cleanser bad for dry skin?

A foam cleanser or face wash actually takes away moisture from your skin. This is great for people with oily skin. However, a foam cleanser and dry skin are enemies!

Don’t be fooled by the sudsy foam. Making your skin more dry will only lead to more cystic acne and breakouts. Using foam cleansers was such a huge mistake for me!

Instead of a foaming cleanser, go for a creamy or oil-based cleanser. Make sure to check the ingredients in your cleanser for more hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Dry, squeaky-clean-feeling skin is a big no-no for dry skin!

A great facial cleanser that promises to keep skin moisturized is the Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser by La Roche-Posay. So many people praise the product for it’s great formula filled with ceramides, niacinimide, and glycerin. It also has the 2018 New Beauty Beauty Awards and the 2017 SELF Approved Beauty Awards up its sleeve … no big deal, right?

Here’s why you have to get the Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser:

7. A Light Exfoliator that will make your skin thank you!

Regardless of skin type, you need an exfoliator! Acne can be caused by hormones, buildup, dirt, and dead skin cells. Your face needs a clean slate before putting on all those creams and serums!

People with dry skin can often have easily irritated, or sensitive, skin. Exfoliating, like cleaning your face, can get rid of essential oils on your face that are key for hydration. Physical and chemical exfoliators may do too much to your dry skin, if not properly moisturized.

If you forget to moisturize your face often, you can try an exfoliant that is light on easily irritated skin and keeps it hydrated. Dry skin and sensitive skin can sometimes need a slower journey to getting rid of acne. It’s all about progress!

Try out the Superfood Blackcurrant Jelly Exfoliator by Elemis for a gentle, effective exfoliation on your skin. Its glycerin base prevents stripping your natural oils. A little bit of this product can go a long way just by adding water. Plus it’s formulation with black tea and Nordic bilberry gives a antioxidant boost for a wonderful glow!

Here’s why you must get Elemis’ Jelly Exfoliator:

6. A Concentrated Vitamin C Serum for your most radiant skin EVER

Skin care experts love using Vitamin C for radiant skin. People with dry skin should use Vitamin C to help with skin cell renewal and saying bye bye to those stubborn blemishes. Cystic acne blemishes are already a pain in the you know where. It took me such a long time to go from a blemish babe to having a clean and clear complexion.

There are many ways to integrate Vitamin C into your skin care routine. There are face masks, powders, and even creams. Personally, I like using a Vitamin C serum since they are lightweight and easily absorbed into your pores.

Just one to two drops a day of a Vitamin C serum is all you need to keep blemishes at bay. Just make sure you go heavy with the sunscreen. Vitamin C makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight since it is acidic.

The Vitamin C Concentrated Serum by DERMA E has been a product I recommend to friends who want to renew the appearance of their skin. Besides boosting hydration and encouraging collagen health, it helps diminish the appearance of uneven skin tone. This cruetly free, vegan formula just HAS to be part of your list of skin care must-haves!

Here’s what people have to say about DERMA E’s Vitamin C Serum:

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.

ON MY 4TH BOTTLE!

I LOVE this product and recommend it to all my friends! I am on my 4th bottle and will continue to repurchase … it has brightened my skin, tightened my pores, and made my skin very hydrated … I have been using this product for probably 2 years and I love it 🙂

– Katie, Sensitive Skin Type

5. A Niacinimide Serum that helps your parched skin quench its thirst

What’s niacinimide? Why is it an important skin care ingredient for dry skin?

Niacinimide is a form of Vitamin B3 that helps your skin grow. This helps with skin renewal to not only get rid of blemishes, but also build up your skin layer to retain moisture. As you notice already, moisture is important for people with dry skin who have acne problems.

I have grown to LOVE having niacinimide in my skin care routine. It has played a big part in evening out my skin’s texture and appearance. The bruising from blemishes took such a long time to get rid of, but now they don’t stand a chance of staying on my skin. Niacinimide is so underrated!

Paula’s Choice has been a skincare favorite for many, including myself! Their Booster Serum contains 10% niacinimide and will help reduce the size of pores and wrinkles. Their formula is absolute perfection for reducing pores that are prone to blackheads.

Here’s why people love the 10% Niacinimide Serum by Paula’s Choice:

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.

Shocked

I have had congested pores for the past year and tried many treatments to help. After 1 WEEK pores noticeably reduced and as a bonus the rosacea/redness around my eyes VANISHED … it has changed my whole face. Obsessed.

4. A Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a lightweight way to get calm, hydrated skin

Yes, micellar water contains hyaluronic acid to keep your skin moisturized during your cleansing sesh. There’s no such thing as too much hyaluronic acid … especially for people with dry skin.

It is super important that you are keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized 24/7. Dry skin already is in need of moisture so that it can prevent acne and blemishes. Hyaluronic acid works to also retain moisture so that your skin can continue to look perfect!

Lotions, moisturizers, and creams with hyaluronic acid are great at preventing your dry skin from feeling like a desert. If you want to keep your skin as light as possible to prevent clogged pores, I highly suggest incorporating it as a serum! I sometimes combine it with my Vitamin C serum so that my skin feels more soothed.

There are plenty of hyaluronic acid serums that you can choose from to get your moisturizing fix. One of my favorites right now is the Hyalu B5 Pure Hyalruonic Acid Serum by La Roche-Posay. It helps with anti-aging and visibly plumps your skin to give it a dewy, radiant look. This serum will make it oh-so easy to give your makeup a flawless application.

Here’s why people praise the Hyalu B5 Serum by La Roche-Posay:

3. A Lightweight Moisturizer to seal in all that moisturizing skincare goodness!

Speaking of clogged pores, moisturizer can make or break the effectiveness of your products! Too heavy of a formula can prevent your skin from breathing.

All that hard work you put on your skin only to be covered with a dollop of a heavy moisturizer would be a waste for people with dry skin. Vaseline on my skin would lead to more cystic acne breakouts along my jawline … sometimes even a huge pimple on my nose. Sigh.

The solution? Go for a lightweight moisturizer! My skin has always loved the application of a gel or water-based moisturizer. Not only does it feed my dry skin’s desire for H2O, it leaves my skin feeling baby butt smooth.

The Hydrogel Cream by The Honest Company is a reliable moisturizer that you can trust! A little bit of this moisturizer is able to spread throughout your face and neck. Staying moisturized is easy as long as you have a great, award-winning product like this one. A dewy look is every dry-skinned person’s dream!

See the amazing review for the Hydrogel Cream below:

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.

24 Hour Hydration

I have dry and dehydrated skin but get clogged pores easily. Normally I have to layer a hyluranoic serum or oil underneath my moisturizer because my skin is so dry … I have never found anything that truly hydrates my skin like this cream. It gives me hydration and a glow that lasts all day and all night but doesn’t break my skin out. It even fills in some of my fine lines and plumps them. It absorbs into my skin and preps it perfectly for makeup. This moisturizer is truly a game changer!

– Julia Chung, Dry Skin Type

2. A Blemish Fighting Serum because cystic acne on dry skin is SUCH a pain (geez)

It’s always a blessing to have a blemish remedy in your skin care toolkit! It’s great at keeping pimples unbothered by the dirt and pollutants that can come from outside.

For my dry skin, I have always seen the most progress with my pimples and blemishes when using salicylic acid. That ingredient always gets the job done quite well.

The best part about a blemish fighting serum is that you can apply it once a day. I’ve worn it throughout the day, or while sleeping, and I can quickly see my pesky blemishes fade away. By the end of the day, my pimple or blemish had definitely shrunk. Bless the skin care gods for this genius product!

Check out bareMinerals’ Blemish Remedy Acne Clearing Treatment if you need a go-to for clear skin! Not only does it contain salicylic acid, the serum also has zinc and licorice root to reveal your most beautiful skin. The Blemish Remedy is a sweet treat for you and your skin!

You have to see what people are saying about the Blemish Remedy Treatment:

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.

Amazing results!

I bought this product only a couple days ago, and I’m already seeing results. My acne was cleared out and my skin feel incredibly smooth. My acne scars were also lightened! My acne has been a problem to me for years and i’m happy i found a product that is actually affordable, natural, and works well.

1. A Hydrating Face Mask that is heaven in a bottle!

Who doesn’t love a good face mask? Putting one on gives you a few minutes to not only reward yourself, but make you feel luxurious. Any day can be a good day with a great face mask!

Like any product for your skin, you have to make sure you find a mask that is meant to moisturize your dry skin. You deserve the best ingredients that will take your skin care game from 0 to 100.

You should know by now that you gotta get hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and niacinimide are your go-to’s for the best, moisturized skin of your life! Those are just a few of the wonderful skin care ingredients that are known to moisturize dry skin.

Any face mask goes on your face before you pack on your lightweight moisturizer. Lately, I have been using the THIRSTYMUD Hydrating Treatment Mask by GLAMGLOW! I love how it contains honey, which is known to reduce redness and hydrate the skin. It’s the perfect mask to apply on a Friday night to destress from all your work.

GLAMGLOW sells the mask in three different sizes so you can carry it literally anywhere!

Transformed My Face

This mask is absolutely fabulous. A little goes a long way. I use it every other night and my skin feels plumped, smoother and highly moisturizered in the morning. No other night cream I’ve tried compares.
