If there is one thing to know about Bubble Skincare, it should be that they don’t play around with their products! They definitely know how to leave a big impression and how to make skincare fun or approachable.

Recently, I was gifted their dry skin set a while back to provide honest feedback, so I genuinely wanted to give a few weeks for testing and come up with my thoughts on their products. This is actually the last post I have talking about my dry skin bundle from Bubble. If you’re curious about their other products that are suited for dry and mature skin, be sure to check out my reviews for their Cloud 9 Facial Oil and their Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer.

Bubble’s Over Night Hydrating Sleep Mask was the product I was most excited to test out since I received this during my dry skin winter. December to February is usually when I turn to nourishing, creamy formulas to maintain my skin barrier and keep it firm. It is also when my pajamas and my blanket are my preferred uniform of choice.

Sleep is So Underrated

Beauty sleep is so, so important. It is not fun to brag about your sleepless nights partying or grinding on work that you had to get done. If you prioritize your health and your beauty, then sleep has to be a part of your daily schedule. No excuses.

There are multiple reports stating that sleep serves as a recovery period for your skin to heal. It is a chance for your skin to fight the aging process by increasing blood flow to encourage collagen production and reduce damage from UV rays. Lack of collagen results in skin that is more dehydrated and dull. If you want to avoid wrinkles and have a faster healing time for breakouts, then you need your sleep. Even at least five hours should be your goal.

Heal Your Skin While Catching Z’s

Now that we know that sleep is an essential recovery period for our skin, let’s talk about further supporting our skin with our skincare regimen. Bubble’s Overnight Hydrating Sleep Mask retails at  $20.00 USD for 50 mL on their website. This leave-on mask is supposed to level-up your skin by soothing, hydrating, and brightening it while you sleep. It also is supposed to be creamy, yet lightweight so that you don’t clog your pores and end up with pesky breakouts.

You might want this sleep mask for yourself because of these awesome ingredients:

• Maple Sap: Maple leaf is especially beneficial for dry and sensitive skin types due to the high amount of antioxidants in it. The antioxidants will help with barrier repair by protecting your skin against environmental aggressors that can affect its aging process.
• Mandelic and Kojic acids: Mandelic acid has anti-microbial properties that can reduce the likeliness of breakouts and blackheads forming. It also has anti-aging benefits by activating skin cell turnover for a youthful glow. Kojic acid is also used for brightening skincare products because it can suppress melanin overproduction in the form of blemishes and discoloration.
• Sodium PCA: A common ingredient in skincare and cosmetics, this natural ingredient helps your skin by drawing in moisture and trapping it for long-lasting, healthy skin.
• Biosaccharide Gum: Biossaccharide gum is a complex sugar derived from sorbitol (from bacterial fermentation). It is what helps your skincare products provide a film for your skin to stay moisturized and for your skin texture to smoothen out.
• Arnica: Arnica is from a flower called the Arnica montana. It is used for healing and soothing wounds and bruises, so this benefit can also be applied to skincare issues.
• Triglycerides: An ingredient binder and a preservative, triglycerides are ingredients that steal the show. They also have antioxidant properties that can minimize the early signs of your skin aging.

Fun to Use and Sleep in

Packaging Points

Again, Bubble knocks it out of the park with the packaging! It’s great quality and sturdy, plus the switch mechanism on the pump is so smart for traveling. The vibrant-colored packaging for each of their products adds a nice pop of color to my skincare collection. The brand’s focus on color also makes it enticing for skincare newbies and changes the idea that skincare can be boring, so I definitely see this item as a great product for teens, too.

A Little Product is Enough

1-3 pumps is the perfect amount for covering your face and neck area. I would use the mask right after putting on toners and serums so that my skin would have an easier time absorbing the product. The cream is a lightweight, milky texture that takes a bit of time to blend into your damp skin. The mask serves a protective barrier to seal in the goodness of your skincare while you sleep.

No Breakouts

My skin didn’t break out with this product and I do feel like my skin is left with a cooling sensation to reduce redness. There has been some improvement with my blemishes since they have slightly faded out. Pimple breakouts were less frequent and, in combination with their other products that I’ve tested, my skin has been feeling super duper smooth and calm.

A Nice Break from the Usual

I’ve also been loving that this can be an alternative to moisturizer for the nighttime. If you’re looking to switch to overnight masks every once in a while, consider starting with this one! It has no scent and doesn’t clog your skin.

I think using 1-3 pumps of the mask is okay for the wintertime. However, if you plan to use this during the warmer times of the year, I would recommend using 1 pump on wet skin to prevent breakouts. I usually go for more lightweight formulas during the summer, so you can adjust your usage for the summertime, too.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! I have no complaints about the product and I would say that using all three products from their skincare set gave me my smoothest skin ever. I was very impressed with how baby skin smooth my face was feeling. Even my mom was enjoying this sleep mask since she also has dry skin. Safe to say, it’s both mature skin and dry skin approved!

Would you try this product for yourself? Let us know down below.

The post You’re Not Sleeping Correctly Until You’ve Tried the Bubble Overnight Hydrating Sleep Mask appeared first on Style Oh My.

Have you ever tried facial oil? I’ve only been in my skincare comfort zone, per say. Skincare aficionados and influencers always say that the classic trio of face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen are must-have’s, so I always stuck to that. Plus, I would hear that oils can be clogging to pores and make sensitive skin more likely to break out. I just stayed away from them … that is, until now.

Bubble reached out to me to try out some of their skincare products in exchange for my honest review, so I decided to try their most popular dry skin solutions! After a month of using their Float On Facial Oil, I can say that I get the hype as to why people use facial oils. I may be super late to the party. However, it’s not too late for me to take you onto Cloud 9 with me.

Before I give my thoughts while using facial oil, let’s first discuss who is the right person for these skincare essentials.

Why Might an Oil Be For You?

Facial oils serve as skincare tools that help support your skin’s functions. Specifically, it adds an extra layer of moisture to protect your skin barrier and ensure that it is moisturized and healthy. This means that facial oils can not only support your skin in terms of extra moisture but in terms of supporting a foundation to reduce the likeliness of breakouts and wrinkles. You can say that it is an anti-aging addition to your skincare regimen. Oils can also help with hyperpigmentation and blemishes since it adds moisture (lipids) to strengthen your skin and retain its water. Hydrated skin is essential to say bye to those blemishes.

Like our skin, oils can also be formulated differently. You can’t just go crazy and put every single facial oil on your face or else you’re setting your skin up for disaster. There are oil formulations that are for dry skin and there are oil formulations for oily skin and sensitive skin, so make sure to do your research and find what ingredients are most compatible with your needs.

If you are trying hard to integrate oils into your skincare routine, treat it like every new addition to your skincare collection and take baby steps. Do a patch test on your skin the day before in case of irritation. Start with 1 drop every other day and work your way up to using it every night.

A Dry Skin’s Dreamy Savior

Bubble’s Float On Facial Oil is a product that is suited for all skin types. It is designed to be lightweight and to make your skin look healthier and nourished by calming it down from outside pollutants and stressors. Currently, the facial oil retails at $19.00 USD for 30 mL on their website.

This facial oil can be used during the day, during the night, or whenever your skin feels it needs a touch-up. It is here to save your skin and change your skincare game because of these awesome key ingredients:

• Safflower Oil: This ingredient is perfect for dry skin since it hydrates while soothing the skin from inflammation.
• Neem Seed Oil: Neem seed oil has antioxidant properties and is also known to reduce inflammation and help with wound or blemish healing.
• Prickly Pear Oil: Not only are prickly pears yummy, they also contain Vitamin E and amino acids that help with skin cell generation and younger-looking skin.
• Buriti Oil: This oil contains fatty acids and Vitamin A. It is a great ingredient for anti-aging if you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
• Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Cactus) Flower Extract:  Cactus flower has antioxidant and anti-microbial properties that help you by soothing and calming your skin.

Floating High, Floating On

Metal Packaging

Unlike the other products I received from Bubble, the facial oil comes in a sturdy metal container. The container also isn’t see-through to maintain the potency of the facial oil and also to ensure outside temperature doesn’t affect it.

The packaging probably stole my heart because of the pipette. I love the pipette since you can release oil with the button that is on the top of the lid. You have to twist open the top in order to reveal the push mechanism for obtaining and releasing the oil. I haven’t tested this oil for traveling, but the twist lid seems to be a good solution to the flimsy pipettes with silicone handles.

Lightweight Formula

The oil is very lightweight and has a light castor oil-like scent that isn’t overwhelming. There is no color to this oil and it feels a little slippery on my skin. When applying 1-2 drops of oil after using moisturizer, my skin easily absorbed this and loved it. A little bit of the oil can go a long way. You will know you used the proper amount for you if you aren’t tugging at your skin during application.

Smooth, Silky, Softness

I was not expecting my skin to love this facial oil so much! I was wowed when using the facial oil because it felt so nourished and healthy every single time. No annoying greasy feeling, just a super soft, silky finish! My skin felt baby skin smooth when topping the oil over their Slam Dunk moisturizer. My face just had a very slight slipperiness from using the facial oil that wasn’t a bother.

During my experience with this product, I can say that my skin did not break out. My dry skin can get red pretty easily, so I was in disbelief when I was left with skin that looked calmed down, smooth and glowy, and perfectly moisturized to beat the cold. There were multiple times when I stopped myself in the mirror to admire my skin. You can say it was love at first sight for me with this oil.

Your Skin’s New BFF

My skin never broke out. In fact, I think it felt better because it was silky smooth. Since the facial oil is an emollient that helps support the superpowers of my moisture-focused skincare routine, it helped my skin stay healthy. I can honestly say I had the best skin ever with the facial oil because it left a huge impression on me.

Would I repurchase?

Bubble really converted me into a facial oil follower with this one. I wasn’t expecting to love this one (in fact, I was initially apprehensive to try it because oils would clog my pores). Now, I don’t think I can see my winter skincare routine without it. It’s part of my holy grail skincare list and I wish I had this when I first dealt with a damaged skin barrier.

I also had my mom try this product out, and she loved it just as much as I did. Her skin felt so moisturized and she also reported no breakouts on her end. I kind of had to prevent my mom from taking this one because she took my moisturizer (sorry, mom). If we’re fighting over the same product, you know it’s the real deal. Don’t worry, I’m planning to get one soon once I run out.

Bubble really knocked it out of the park with this one and that’s my honest opinion! Seriously, give this one a shot. 💙

The post Get Your Skin to Cloud 9 with Bubble’s Float On Facial Oil 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.
