I figured that for the end of the year it's nice to share a bunch of current/yearly favorites. I have found pretty amazing products! But as always, I choose my current favorites however I like.
I go back and forth between many products because my stash is still bigger than I'd like. Soon I'll probably share some favorites I didn't remember to include here :')
Currently my skin condition is ok, maybe 7/10 by my standards? Obviously nice products and finally some consistency with my skincare work wonders.
But, I also started drinking one cup of spearmint tea almost every day about a month or two ago. I suspect it might have had a positive impact on my skin by balancing my hormones. Of course I can't know for sure (there is some science behind it) but I'll keep drinking it because there's no harm and it's not too expensive. I read that green tea or zinc or many other things might help balancing hormones as well when you have too much androgens but are all natural remedies just nonsense? I don't have enough knowledge on this subject.
Face
Medik8 Press&Glow
Very nice, gentle everyday acid toner. Would recommend for sensitive skin.
Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense
Actually a hydrating and calming serum that doesn't meddle with other products, doesn't pill, I can notice how it helps when I have applied lots of retinoids/acids, also it doesn't break me out (I seem to have that problem with serums...).
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cleansing Oil
The best cleansing oil I have used. Just right amount of oiliness and rinses off clean.
Avene Cicalfate+ Repairing Protective Cream
Just perfect thick calming night cream.
A-Derma Dermalibour+ Soothing Barrier Cream
The same, just perfect thick calming night cream.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Perfect day cream especially for winter. Doesn't smell, doesn't pill, not too heavy or too light. Doesn't break me out!
Differin Adapalene Gel
Classic for acne treatment. A bit drying for winter time.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6
Expensive, but I do really like it. Very nice calming formula, not as drying as Differin. Nice to alternate between these two. No pilling, no irritation.
Institytutum Resurfacing Glow Toner
I keep saying that my skin can't tolerate glycolic acid but finally was brave enough to try Glow Toner! (Got it from Advent Calendar some year.) It is actually really nice. I had to up my moisturizing game a little but I can definitely appreciate the results. Been using it once a week or every other week and my skin is glowy everytime.
Make Up
Missha Perfect BB Cream 23
A classic, neutral shadeBB cream. Good for winter, a bit too "oily" for summer use. Mine is expired btw by several years but I have kept using it... Soon I'll have to repurchase.
Dior Face and Body W1
Good light foundation for oily skin. I seem to have the old formula, people are saying the new one isn't as good. Stays on very well all day even if I sweat.
Got2Be Gel
My go-to, best for my oily skin and stubborn hair.
Maybelline Sky High Cosmic Black
Great mascara. Stays on, doesn't smudge, easy to apply. Easy to wash off. Haven't tested in extreme weather conditions though. Sky High Waterproof is amazing but impossible to wash off as well!
Dior Lip Glow Oil Mahogany
Perfect nourishing every day lip oil. Doesn't taste of anything, no scent. If Dior would release a brown lip oil I would definitely purchase that one as well.
Dior Lip Maximizer Mahogany
Perfect shade, I love it. Great lip gloss, obviously not as nourishing as the oil.
Body and Hair
Dior Blooming Bouquet EdT
My everyday scent. Light and feminine. Doesn't last very long on my skin though.
Moroccanoil Hair Treatment Oil Light
Smells so nice. Feels nice as well, doesn't weigh down my thin hair.
L'Oreal Elvital Glycolic Gloss Serum
Great serum, smooths my hair immediately and doesn't weight them down. Don't like the sweet scent though but can live with it. I do like the shimmer in the serum :)
Vichy Dercos Anti Dandruff Shampoo
My favorite shampoo currently. Contains sulphur derivate. Doesn't even dry my hair. No other shampoo keeps the scalp itchiness away like this one (for now at least). Definitely recommend for oily scalp!
Rexona Maximum Protection Antiperspirant Sport Strength
My staple and currently the only antiperspirant that works for me.
