Made with over 46 grams of pure honey, this wash-off mask provides my skin with a boost of hydration and nourishment!
Honey is a natural humectant and thanks to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, it is also beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Other key ingredients include Macadamia, Sunflower, and Jojoba Oils, Shea Butter and Propolis extract.
The texture is thick and a bit sticky, but not messy to apply and washes-off easily. It can be left for 10 minutes up to an hour, and it leaves my skin plumped, soft and deeply hydrated. Since this mask sits on the skin, it is important in my opinion to apply just a small amount.
It also claims to remove whiteheads and brighten the complexion, because of its gentle exfoliating properties. I haven’t noticed any visible results so far, but hopefully I will with longer use.
The packaging comes with a spatula to grab and stir the mask, as the honey tends to separate from the oils.
The only con for me personally is that the scent is too sweet and overpowering, so I cannot leave the mask on for more than 15 minutes.

Open Formula specializes in clean skincare made with minimal ingredients. All their products are affordable, vegan and cruelty-free.
This 100% natural Rosehip Oil has been a great addition to my routine now that my skin is on the drier side.
Rosehip Oil is rich in fatty acids, and it helps creating a protective barrier on the skin to trap moisture and prevent water loss.
Few drops are enough to cover my face and neck, it absorbs nicely and provides a nice glow.
After a few weeks of usage, I have noticed that my redness has reduced, and my skin is more hydrated.
This oil can be used on hair too as a heat protectant, and to prevent breakage and split ends.
It has a subtle scent which doesn’t bother me.

Open Formula is a brand that specializes specializes in clean skincare made with minimal ingredients. All their products are affordable, vegan and cruelty-free.
This tinted moisturizer has a lightweight texture and a subtle pink tint which provides a soft coverage and a natural glow.
It doesn’t leave any white cast or greasy feeling, and it doesn’t clog my pores.
Now that’s my skin is on the drier side, I like layer it on top of my regular moisturizer; whereas in summer it would work perfectly on its own.

This moisturizer contains some great ingredients! It has a high-stable Vitamin C complex enhanced with biotechnology to brighten the complexion while strengthening the skin’s barrier.
Thanks to Squalane and 5 types of Hyaluronic Acid, it also provides long lasting hydration and has anti-aging properties.
I really liked the lightweight texture and the fact it didn’t cause any irritation. However, it didn’t wow me like other products I tried from this brand. I wasn’t a fan of the scent (citrusy but still “chemical”) and it left my face sticky for quite some time.
However I will keep using it as a serum, and follow my routine with a creamier moisturizer to minimize the tacky sensation.

Using cleansing balms or oils has been a game changer in my skincare routine to achieve a clearer complexion and diminish clogged pores.
This balm has a lush texture which literally melts on my skin dissolving all traces of makeup, SPF and impurities. It easily rinses off with warm water and doesn’t leave any greasy film nor stripping sensation.
The subtle citrusy scent is very pleasant and after usage my skin feels silky smooth and soft. This cleansing balm is packed with plant-based active ingredients, including:
✿ Moringa Seed Extract to remove dirt from inside pores
✿ Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil to make the skin radian and luminous
✿ Panthenol (B5) to moisturizing and brightening
✿ Centella Asiatica Root Extract
I am loving this balm so much and I highly recommend it!

If you have dry or sensitive skin and you're looking for an exfoliant to start with this Prep Water is the perfect product! It contains 5% Mandelic Acid which is more gentle and less irritating than other AHAs. It is antibacterial and helps with pigmentation and skin restoration.
Other notable ingredients include Panthenol and Centella Asiatica Extract to provide moisture and soothe the skin.
As the name suggests, it has a lightweight watery texture which doesn’t leave any residue. I’ve been using it for about a month as a first step after cleansing (almost like a toner), 2 to 3 times a week. This product helped with:
✶ Removing dead skin cells
✶ Providing moisture to my dehydrated cheeks
✶ Making my skin tone more even
✶ Clearing pores
✶ Preventing breakouts
I didn’t experience any irritation or flare-ups, just a mild tangling sensation the first 2-3 applications.

This product combines the benefit of a toner and serum, and it is perfect for troubled and irritated skins. Even if I don’t have acne, I struggle with clogged pores and blackheads and this treatment keeps these issues under control.
The gel-like texture is not sticky and doesn’t dry my skin, but instead it makes it soft and hydrated.
Clear Genius Toner + Serum helps controlling oil production, clearing out pores, calming and soothing the skin from dehydration or irritation thanks to the CLARITY 5 COMPLEX which includes:
• Salicylic Acid
• Witch Hazel Water
• Niacinamide
• Zinc
• Cica
I really like the idea of combining toner and serum, because not only it is cost-effective but also helps saving time.
As I have a mild rosacea on my cheeks I use exfoliants mainly on my t-zone, and overall I am really happy with the results: my skin is clearer and my tone more even.

This cleanser works for all skin types thanks to its not-drying and gentle formula. This Green Juice has a wonderful fresh and uplifting scent, and it is packed with cold-pressed antioxidants and superfoods to help repairing the skin and protect it from environmental pollutants:
🥬 Kale, rich in Vitamins C, E and K
🥬 Spinach

It has a rich gel texture which creates a light lather when rubbed on wet hands. Compared to gel face washes I have tried in the past, this cleanser doesn’t strip my face and never makes it feel dry.
I love using it as part of my morning routine because it does a great job at removing excess sebum built up during the night and my skin feels truly clean and refreshed. A must have during summer months!
Superfood Cleanser comes in a recyclable glass bottle with a convenient pump applicator. A small amount goes a long way so it will last you forever!
