Which area of your face would you consider to be the worst place for pimples? I’m prone to breakouts on my chin and jawline. However, I can take those any day to avoid the dreaded nose pimples.

In my opinion, pimples on your nose are always the worst! It gives me instant flashbacks to when I had a big pimple on the center of my nose during Christmas (and yes, I did feel like I was a cute Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). These types of pimples can expand and be painful to touch. Don’t forget to mention they can be a huge effort to heal during the blemish stage. Ugh, they are truly something else.

Your Nose Also Needs a Pinch of Pimple Patch Love, Too

Did you know that there are pimple patches for your nose? Honestly, neither did I until I discovered the spotless nose patches from Glam Up.

Spotless Nose Patch sells at $16.90 USD on their Amazon storefront for 12 patches. Like other hydrocolloid pimple patches that you’ve seen and used for your skin care issues, these nose patches absorb sebum and oil and pull out whiteheads. Using these nose patches is supposed to help lessen the frequency of annoying breakouts on your nose.

I received this product from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @glamup.official in exchange for my honest review. These nose patches were used every few days over the course of two to three weeks in order to come up with the following opinions.

Glam Up’s Spotless Nose Patches are made of high-grade hydrocolloid patches that are vegan and cruelty-free. They are also formulated with the following key ingredients:

• Centella Asiatica: This ingredient is used in the skincare industry to deal with inflammation and redness. It can also slow down the aging process of your skin.
• Heart Leaf Extract: Hearleaf is perfect for sensitive skin types because it can provide moisture to the skin, reduce inflammation, and minimize the appearance of blemishes.
• Niacinamide: A beloved ingredient for skincare of all skin types, niacinamide can slow down the aging process by retaining your skin’s moisture and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can also be used to reduce pore size and sebum production to minimize breakouts.

Nice On My Nose and My Skin

Perfect Sizing

The 90mm size for the pimple patch was perfect and was great coverage for my nose, crevices and all. I think all nose types can use these nose patches since they appeared a little large to accommodate nose bridge shapes. This nose patch also covers the tip of my nose where whiteheads can be hidden, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover this while applying it.

Hygiene-First Focus

The patches are neatly packaged in separate baggies so that you can take them out for single use. Each patch is in a see-through plastic and paper pouch and attached to a slip of plastic for an easy-peel application. Sometimes I do have an issue with peeling the pimple patch from the plastic because the clinging can warp the shape. There is no issue with warping when using this.

These nose patches are bigger than the smaller, targeted circle patches. Because the plastic film attached to the nose patch is split in half, this means that you can easily apply the patches to your nose. You can peel one side to put on your nose and then peel the other half to complete the process. It may be difficult to peel the plastic off the smaller cuts that accommodate your nose tip, but you’ll get the hang of it over time.

When using pimple patches, you usually want them to be thin. These nose patches are thick, which is totally fine since they are for nighttime use. The thickness of the patches ensures that the product clings well to your skin and lasts through the night. It also doesn’t rip apart during removal, which is important if you want to eliminate the possibility of breakouts from clogged pores.

Comfortable Throughout the Night

These pimple patches are unscented, so you don’t have to worry about the possibility of a headache. The patches were super comfortable to wear overnight and didn’t affect my breathing or my comfort. If your nose does wind up feeling itchy, you will have to bear with it and try your best to scratch your nose or pat the itchiness away.

Pushes Pimples Out

I woke up to not seeing the absorbency like what happens with pimple patches, but I saw the effects once I took it off! The gross accumulation of oil is really visible once you remove the patch from your nose. The patch absorbed so much oil and actually brought my whiteheads to the surface, making them easy to extract.

Some of the oils were absorbed into the patch and some of the oils were at the skin’s surface. I had to use my pimple extractor to get these buildups out of my nose. That was when my nose was finally super clear and super smooth. My pores definitely looked smaller afterward.

Strong Enough for Whiteheads

If you have huge pores and are prone to blackheads and whiteheads, then you can definitely them pulled out by these strips without it drying your skin out and hurting. Removing these nose patches were not painful at all. If you remember those god-awful charcoal strips that left your nose feeling dry as a dessert, then you will understand what I am comparing these patches to. As long as you just fold the nose patch downwards, you will not feel any pain and you will not be tugging at your skin.

Would I repurchase?

The price is definitely worth it for these nose strips, which can be used once every two weeks, in my opinion. I love pimple patches and these definitely lived up to the hype. If you want to reduce blemishes or early-stage pimples without irritation, these nose patches are a nice addition to your skincare routine. I wish I had these when I was younger.

The post My Nose is Spotless Now Because of the Glam Up Spotless Nose Patch appeared first on Style Oh My.

Have you ever tried using a vitamin C derivative? 🍊If you remember my post a while back, I mentioned that I have been trying to get rid of my stubborn blemishes from hormonal acne. Pimples along my chin and jawline are usually the hardest for me to remove because it takes months sometimes for my blemishes to fade out. I used to use Vitamin C serums, but I took a step back because I didn’t enjoy it oxidizing quickly and didn’t notice any obvious difference.

I’ve been back on the Vitamin C serum lately and that’s all thanks to Korean skincare brand Dear, Klairs. They seemed have heard my prayers because I received the new Freshly Juiced Vitamin Charging Serum from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @klairs.global in exchange for my honest review! I used this product for two to three weeks in my skincare routines before coming up with my thoughts down below.

Wait, There’s an Alternative to Vitamin C?

Freshly Juiced Vitamin Charging Serum ($33.59 USD for 30 mL on Stylevana) is a Vitamin C derivative serum that gives you brighter, tighter, and bouncier skin. The derivative or alternative part of this product comes from 3-O- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. This ingredient, unlike vitamin C, can be more stable while providing the same anti-aging effects of protecting your skin from UV damage and free radicals.

Unlike typical vitamin C serums, Dear, Klairs designed their Vitamin Charging Serum to be safe to use for daytime and nighttime so that your skin does go through any peeling or warmth flares. Your skin can be more sensitive during the day because of the high acidity levels in pure vitamin C serums. There is also supposed to be no iron-like scent or oiliness to this formula to make the serum pleasing to use and wear during the day.

Here are the ingredients that are in this serum to charge your skin for elasticity and juiciness:

• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A vitamin C derivative that is less irritating than vitamin C, this alternative can help brighten your skin tone for hyperpigmentation and boost collagen production for a firmer skin barrier.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Niacinamide is commonly used for improving skin texture and hydrating your skin. It acts as an antioxidant by soothing signs of inflammation and making your skin more elastic. If you want plump-looking skin, this is the ingredient to look out for.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): This ingredient serves as an emollient that nourishes the skin to make it more firm and supported for pimple healing. It also locks in moisture so that your skin does not turn red or become dehydrated from environmental stressors.
• Adenosine: Adenosine is used to smoothen the skin and keep it hydrated. It’s a popular anti-aging ingredient because it can lessen the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet.
• Beta-glucan: Used to deal with signs of aging and pigmentation (melasma, blemish, freckles). Beta-glucan also has anti-bacterial properties that can clean your pores at the surface and prevent or heal breakouts.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Vitamin E in tocopherol makes this a great ingredient for maintaining a healthy, moisturized skin barrier throughout the day.
• Centella Asiatica (Madecassoside): Centellas asiatica has anti-bacterial properties that help clean your pores, reduce signs of irritation, and reduce your skin’s water loss.

By the way, you can purchase this product at a cheaper price and with 10% off your total if you buy it with my discount code INF10OHMY at Stylevana. If you purchase at least $59 USD worth of your Kbeauty essentials on Stylevana, you can get 15% off your order with that same discount code. I do receive a small percentage of the commission if you use my code.

Dear, Klairs, I Love This Vitamin C

Sleek and Shiny Packaging

I’m in love with the packaging of this serum. It is a sturdy plastic pump that easily dispenses the product without making a mess. I also love the use of the iridescent wrap on the label to carry out the idea of making your skin brighter so that your true beauty can shine Either that or because holographic packaging is always fun to look at.

The plastic pump also hides any sign of seeing the product to minimize potency loss. Vitamin C serums can go bad or become ineffective because of exposure to air and sunlight. Keep this tip in mind the next time you are on the lookout for vitamin C serums.

Hint of Citrus

I usually expect some sort of citrusy or sour smell with vitamin C serums. There is a very slight citrus scent, which is expected since there are lemon, mandarin orange, and grapefruit extracts. I did not find the smell overbearing during the application. It faded away once the serum dried on my skin.

Gel Consistency

The serum is a thicker consistency like a slightly runny gel formula because of ingredients like xanthan gum. It’s also a clear formula, so it blends very well into the skin. I like how lightweight the serum is because you can easily spread one to two drops of this on your damp skin (face and neck).

Smooth and Seamless

I love how after drying that I’m not left with any oily or sticky feeling. It reminds me of hyaluronic acid serums which feel slightly tacky after application but dries into a seamless finish. You would probably forget that you put this serum on because it is a breathable formula that dries well. The slight tackiness to the serum is intentional because it acts as a primer for your preceding moisturizer, sunscreen, and/or makeup. This serum is meant to last you through the day, and creates an even surface for other products to work well and give you a radiant look.

Noticeable Difference

I’ve been seeing great improvement in my blemishes and skin texture since using this product in my morning and nighttime skincare routines. My pesky blemishes have been getting lighter (due to niacinamide and beta-glucan) and smoother (due to niacinamide, glycerin, and panthenol). This serum leaves my skin looking nourished and naturally glowy.

I’ve had no irritation or breakouts from using this product. If you want products for redness, this is also great because of the centella asiatica in it! My dry skin is really eating this serum up and loves every drop of it.

Are There Any Cons?

Some people might want a Vitamin C that can last longer than 6 months after opening, but this is usual for Vit C serums to maintain their effectiveness. This is probably the only con I can think of. Other than that, the formulation is perfect for having the clear skin that you’ve been dreaming of.

Would I repurchase?

The price is high, but I would repurchase because the ingredient list is great. I do notice my blemishes improving and my skin looking more radiant and awake! This was my first time using Dear, Klairs, and was pleasantly surprised with this.

The post A Vitamin C Serum That’s Worth Every Penny: Let’s Talk About the Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Charging Serum appeared first on Style Oh My.

What do you think of when you think of spring? Personally, I think of pastel colors, bouquets of flowers, and lemon cookies. If that’s your ideal spring? Then you might get a kick out of a new eye cream that I discovered thanks to VV Better Cosmetics and Picky.

I was one of the skincare reviewers selected to test out this product for 2-3 weeks in exchange for my honest review. Looking at this product for the first time, one question definitely came to mind: what exactly is bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol: Retinol’s Chill Sibling

There’s been a trend of people discovering and adding retinol to their skincare routine lately thanks to Tiktok and YouTube. It’s supposed to help improve your skin texture and reveal a younger you. We all want the best skin of our lives, but were you aware that retinol can come with side effects?

There are some reasons why people don’t add retinol to their skincare regimen. In my case, I am aware that dryness and flaky skin can be side effects of using retinol during the first few weeks. If you aren’t aware of my skincare journey, I started being more dedicated to skincare because my skin broke out into flaky, dry skin. I had a damaged skin barrier and it took almost two years for me to heal my skin to its healthy state. Other people may not like the ingredient because it can be sourced from eggs, livers, or fish. For example, tretinoin is a stronger form of retinol that typically is derived from animals, making the search for retinol products to be somewhat difficult.

If you want the results of retinol without worrying about the negatives, let me introduce you to retinal aka bakuchiol!

Bakuchiol is from the Psoralea corylifolia plant that has been a staple in Asian medicinal practices. This plant is not only great for our health but for stimulating collagen production in our skin. The ingredient is still being studied for its effectiveness in improving skin elasticity and improving wrinkle appearance, but research findings do show testers having improved skin quality over time. Bakuchiol is worth trying if you’re hesitant about the peeling and dryness that is a common side effect of retinol use.

A Better Eye Cream for a Better You

VVBetter Bakuchiol Eye Cream was designed to be lightweight so that your skin can look and feel better over time. The company itself is all about building healthy habits, including taking baby steps with skincare to develop long-term, visible results. They even state that “we can never be perfect, but we can always become better versions of ourselves.” As someone who prefers more mild products to prevent breakouts and unexpected irritation, this product definitely caught my attention. Progress is always better than perfection. Nobody’s perfect (Hannah Montana pun definitely intended), and that is completely okay!

Currently, the Bakuchiol Eye Cream retails for $31.99 USD for 30 mL on their website. Using this eye cream consistently is supposed to help brighten dark circles and dull skin to balance out your skin tone. It is also supposed to help support your skin so that it looks healthier, more moisturized, and more elastic. The company recommends their eye cream for puffy eyes, wrinkles, dark circles, and dry skin. You can’t go wrong when a skincare product is cruelty-free, paraben-free, and skin-irritation tested.

To better understand why this eye cream may be effective for your skin’s needs, let’s dive deeper into some of the key ingredients:

• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is used for lightening your skin to combat blemishes and discoloration. It also helps with collagen production to create a healthier skin barrier.
• Bakuchiol: A less irritating alternative to retinol that can provide the same anti-aging effects to minimize wrinkles and discoloration while firming up your skin.
• Niacinimide Vitamin B Complex: Niacinimide and Vitamin B are both used to help blemish control and improve skin texture.
• 8 Types of Peptides: Peptides help with collagen production to even out skin tone and reduce wrinkle appearance. It also helps with reducing inflammation due to their anti-microbial properties.
• Glycerin: This ingredient is common for skincare products targeting dry skin since it provides much-needed moisture and protection for your skin to improve texture and not be attacked by pollutants and other external factors.

A New Way to Wake Up

Lavender Haze Packaging

The packaging is so sleek and sturdy. I especially love how it prioritizes hygiene by having a twist pump. I get worried when it comes to packing my skincare because of the possibility of spillage. With this product, you don’t have to worry about it at all. It really is more of an afterthought because of the sleek design.

Did I Mention There’s Liquid Gold?

The cream itself is a golden yellow gel that smells like lemon cookies! This lovely scent is because the product contains ingredients like fig, lavender, cocoa seed, orange peel, basil, centella asiatica. It was such a pleasant surprise, and with its packaging, it instantly made me think of spring in a bottle! The scent is so nostalgic to me because my favorite lemon cookies smell just like this eye cream, so yes, I might be a little biased on scent alone.

Blends in Easily

The yellowness of the cream actually is an advantage because I personally think it helps balance out the dullness or dark circles in my skin. On top of the subtle sheen finish because of the light lotion consistency, the color helps minimize the appearance of dark circles. My dark circles are not as prominent as other people, so I would love to know about the experience of people who deal with dull skin more frequently than I do.

The cream is easy to spread for your skin to absorb. I would use 1 pea-size pump of product on my under eyes and it would not leave a white cast, just a slightly tacky feeling. This tacky feeling makes it great for making sure your moisturizer, sunscreen, or makeup can stay on your skin.

If you’re not as in love with the scent of this product, no need to worry. The scent also fades away when dried.

Bye Breakouts, Hello Smoother Skin

My under-eye area has not broken out with milia (a usual problem with thick eye creams). The cream is very lightweight and leaves me looking refreshed. Again, one pump is all you need for the skin around your eyes. I’ve also been using a bit of this on my skin to prep for my usual moisturizer and it has left my face looking more radiant, soothed, and smooth.

Since my skin is usually very dry in the winter, I can say that my skin looked soothed and nourished while using this product. I did look more awake after using this product for a few weeks and my blemishes did fade away when using this product on them.

What’s Not to Like?

Not a con for me, but this product can have a strong scent for some people. This cream does contain lavender oil, palm oil, and olive fruit oil. Some people might want to avoid these ingredients, so I do want to state this here.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! The price-to-product ratio is pretty worth it and the formula is nice. I can see myself using the cream for more than 4 months with the 1 pump minimum for my under eyes, so I find it to be a reasonable purchase once I run out. This is my first time trying retinol and trying VVBetter and I loved it! I would say it was love at first sight and definitely persuaded me to consider trying out more of their skincare line in the future.

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.
