Tonight's routine is a mix of something old and something new. As mentioned in my last post, the sun this summer was brutal, so my goal in the coming weeks is to treat my skin to bring back the glow. Below are the steps:
CLEANSE
First Cleanse
E NATURE MORINGA CLEANSING BALM (CLAIM)
This sherbet type cleansing balm melts with the heat of your hand, dissolving dirt, make up and other impurities for a through cleanse.
Active ingredients:
Moringa seed extract
Iris extract
Rose extract
Verdict
I swear by the double cleansing method. The first thing I was taught in school was how to double cleanse skin (I would never forget that day I was so excited to finally touch skin). I am always in the look out for the next great balm or oil and it’s that quest that lead me to E NATURE moringa cleansing balm. Besides being a cleansing balm, this balm has extracts that tickles my very sensitive skin. I started testing it out just over a week ago but so far, no irritation, burn or break out. Keeping my fingers crossed.
SECOND CLEANSE
SALICYLIC ACID EXFOLIATING CLEANSER COSRX (CLAIM)
A salicylic Acid exfoliating cleanser that reduces acne breakouts and promotes clearer skin.
Active ingredient:
SALICYLIC ACID 0.5%
Verdict
Simply mild enough for sensitive skin but effective enough to reduce breakouts. Personally, I used it for the exfoliating qualities and I love it. Details in future post.
TONE
CENTELLA WATER ALCOHOL FREE TONER COSRX (CLAIMS)
Centella water alcohol Free Toner that replenishes lost moisture to refresh skin and prepare it for treatment.
Active ingredients:
CENTELLA ASIATICA LEAF WATER
Verdict
I got this toner this week so it’s still in the testing phase but love the way it claims my skin after a long day in the sun. Full review coming soon.
TREATMENT
MISSHA TIME REVOLUTION THE FIRST TREATMENT ESSENCE -INTENSIVE. (CLAIMS)
Soothing/ Smoothing/ Balance sebum level/ Moisturizing/ improving skin tone/ firming/ wrinkle repair/ boosting.

MOISTURE/OIL TREATMENT
SUNDAY RILEY ARTEMIS HYDROACTIVE CELLULAR FACE OIL(CLAIMED)
Complexion-balancing blend of clarifying, toning, detoxifying oils for a clean+ healthy glow from within.
VERDICT
Unfortunately, this face oil has discontinued. As a matter of fact, I just used the last drop from my back up tonight. Anyways on to the next Sunday Riley facial oil.
