Hi Fam,

I have a few products that are coming to the end, and thought I’d share how the products worked for me.

1.The Pai Lightwork Rosehip Cleansing Oil

I had tried this cleansing oil before the packaging was updated a few years ago, and thought it worked really well to remove eye makeup, and was a great first cleanse. However, I’m not sure if they changed the formula when the packaging was updated, but this cleansing oil didn’t really do much for me when I tried it again recently. It does what it needs to do in terms of removing makeup, and being a good first cleanse, but I’ve noticed that it has the tendency to make my skin feel dry right after the first cleanse, which is not something I look for. With a first cleanse I look to remove my makeup, massage my skin, and leave it feeling moisturized. This didn’t do that for me, so it’s not one I will be repurchasing. I do have a travel size of this as well, and it’s been good to travel with for a quick cleanse, as I just go in with the same product twice, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

2. May Lindstrom Youth Dew

If you’ve followed me on here for sometime, then you know I’ve talked about the Youth Dew many times. It is one of my favorite facial oils, and I always have one. Now, I had this bottle open for sometime, and something that I’m starting to understand the importance of in clean beauty is really paying attention to the date of expiration. This makes such a big difference. Just like how organic food goes bad quickly as it doesn’t have preservatives, skincare without preservatives also can go bad and cause adverse reactions. It may not be as noticeable as you probably won’t see fungus, etc but you’ll notice the color change, the texture, and you might breakout as well, which was happening when I started using this oil after a few months. I decided to just use it up as a body oil, and opened up a fresh bottle for my face. The freshness of ingredients in relation to buying multiple products is actually a topic I’d like to write about more as it’s an important one to dive into!

3. Lepaar Elemental Day Silk

I talked about this SPF a few months ago, and safe to say it has been my favorite SPF product to use till date. It’s creamy, moisturizing, the smell is gentle, and it works really well with my skin type. I already have another one ready to open. There is something grounding about this product/brand as they focus on sun-infused plant extracts, and harness celestial energy. You can read more about the brand on their website, but everything that I’ve tried from this brand I’ve truly loved. It rubs into the skin well, and very rarely leaves a white cast. I feel like it’s actually worked to improve my overall skin texture, which is amazing as well!

Let me know if you have tried any of these products before, or which ones you’d like to pick up!
