Nei.

Ikke skal gjøre det. Jeg vil ikke!

I figure, if I keep up with this mantra, it’ll ultimately come to pass…but so far, no dice.

These are the current additions to my skin care routine — what I’ve been liking, as well as what I’d define as just “eh.”

Just to add a bit background, in situation you don’t understand me from a slice of watermelon, I have combo skin as well as tend to break out around my mouth, chin as well as forehead, as well as I’m in my mid-40s (about to turn 46, as a matter fact). ideal now I’m battling the great fight against the occasional hormone-related breakout, along with, ugh…hyperpigmentation. SUNSCREEN IS MY HOMEGIRL.

With that said, let’s go…

The normal Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

I just recently chosen up this hydrating product from Ulta, as well as I’m lurving it. I’ve checked out that integrating a hyaluronic acid serum into your skin care regimen can be excellent for dry skin, but, apparently, there’s a technique to making this idea genuinely worth your time, which is that you have to apply the product when your skin is damp, then promptly comply with up with a moisturizer to seal in stated hydrating yumminess.

What’s the offer with hyaluronic acid? Well, it’s a sugar discovered naturally in our bodies, as well as its task in the skin is to hold onto water, so it keeps things plump as well as hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is likewise discovered in our joints as well as eyes as well.

As a skin care ingredient, it’s believed to act as a humectant since of its capability to draw as well as hold water, keeping your skin moisturized throughout the day!

There are great deals of different hyaluronic acid serums at different cost points (I’ll link some down below), however I chosen up this since it was only $7 for a 1-oz. bottle, as well as I’ve been steadily utilizing it for the past month. I’m about a quarter of the method with it now, as well as my normal dry areas don’t feel as tight as they did before I started, so I’ll happily get one more bottle.

Yes, it’s an additional step…but if your skin’s been feeling parched, it’s absolutely worth it, IMO.

A few hyaluronic serums

Vichy Mineral 89 everyday Skin Booster Serum as well as moisturizer ($28 for 1.69 fl. oz.)

SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier ($102 for 1 fl. oz.!!!)

Neutrogena Hydro improve Hydrating Serum ($22 for 1 oz.)

First aid appeal Facial gleam Niacinamide Dark area Serum

This serum for fading dark areas as well as hyperpigmentation, among other things, is from very first aid Beauty.

Niacinamide, a.k.a. water-soluble Vitamin B3 is a heroic component that gets mega-love in skin care circles since of exactly how well lots of people believe it works for different skin types (even sensitive), as well as it seems to do whatever as well as then some, from lessening big pores, moisturizing and, yes, evening out skin tone. Its rock star condition is likewise because of exactly how well it layers with other active skin care ingredients, like peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, retinols as well as acids.

This specific serum is lovely. It works well with all of the other things I’ve had in the mix, as well as likewise works excellent under copious layers of sunscreen (you gotta reapply all throughout the day, my love) as well as makeup.

I’ve been utilizing it for a couple weeks now, as well as it seems to assist with fading post-acne dark spots. It’s pricey, though, at $42 for a 1-oz. bottle, so I’m going to wait a few a lot more weeks to figure out whether or not I’m going to keep it in the mix… I do like it so far.

Biossance Squalane + BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner

WHY IS IT SO difficult TO discover A great BHA TONER?

Jeg vet jeg vet. everybody likes the Paula’s option BHA Toner as well as talks about it like it’s the one BHA toner to policy them all, however even though I’ve gone with a lot of bottles as well as have been desperately wanting to drink the Kool-Aid, I don’t believe it does all that much for me.

I just recently started checking out other choices as well as stumbled onto the Biossance Squalane + BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner.

With this one, you truly have to dig into the component listing since it really doesn’t consist of salicylic acid.

Instead, it has willow bark extract, which consists of salicin, which is where salicylic acid comes from. Biossance states that it’s a natural BHA as well as acts a lot more as an “anti-inflammatory” ingredient, while likewise carefully exfoliating, tightening pores as well as balancing oil.

I do feel like it’s extremely gentle, as well as it does a respectable task of not irritating my skin. It likewise seems to assist calm it down… I had some upset red bumpy patcHes fra å overdrive retinolen, så vel som denne toneren virkelig hjulpet huden min chill-the-eff ut.

Jeg liker det, men liker ikke det. Ja, det er ikke utrolig aggro, som jeg setter pris på, men jeg føler meg ikke som om det beveger seg raskt nok.

Jeg må si, selv om det virker som slik at denne flasken varer lenge. Jeg har brukt tre eller fire dråper hver morgen i en måned, så vel som jeg knapt har gjort en pute i den.

Bunnlinjen? Hvis du vil ha en mild versjon av en salicylsyre-toner, kan dette være din syltetøy.

Jeg skal fortsette å prøve å finne en BHA-toner som stenker mine sokker av … Hvis du har en du elsker, er jeg alle ører! Så langt er disse på min “se på IT” -listen:

Typologi rensing Toner 1% salicylsyre: Dette er $ 24 for 7,2-oz, så det virker som om du får en stor del av bøyningen din. Jeg liker at den består av faktisk salicylsyre, sammen med aloe vera (som huden min liker). OMG, gjorde jeg bare rammet “Legg i handlekurven”! Nøyaktig hvordan skjedde det? Lol!

Naturium BHA Liquid Exfoliant 2%: Det er YouTube Drama rundt denne linjen, så vel som grunnleggeren. Jeg vet ikke, men ordet “skyggefulle” har blitt kastet rundt. Uansett, jeg er ikke utrolig entusiastisk om dette produktet, men komponentens oppføring virker anstendig, så vel som jeg raskt kan plukke den opp på målet. Det er $ 20 for en 4-oz flaske. *trekker på skuldrene*

Skinceuticals LHA toner: Effin ‘skinceuticals. Hvorfor må du være så god? Jeg har hatt mye mer enn min andel av euforiske øyeblikk med sitt vitamin C-serum, som er den primære grunnen til at jeg er nysgjerrig på denne toneren, som er på den pricierenden på $ 40 for 6,8 oz. Den består av en blanding av lipo hydroksysyre (LHA, som er et derivat av salicylsyre), glykolsyre samt salisylsyre. Ugh, vil ha!
