What’s everyone’s new year resolution(s) ?
I have 2-
1 = Get back to the gym and WORK for it!
2 = Find good products to reduce redness in my cheeks.
Last year you lovely people really helped with the hydrating products (even the work air-con no longer affects me).
It’s time to tackle the red!
Centella asiatica is what is in all those cica products that Dr.Jart+ and now even L’oreal are promoting. But this salve is legit. Not at all greasy, good enough for oily areas but still moisturizing. As a beauty editor, it’s something I buy again and again.
Help needed from people with oily skin!!
The boyfriend has finally agreed to let me help sort out his skin regime as he only uses an exfoliating scrub. But he has a completely different skin type to me. He wants me to make a custom kit for xmas so I’m starting early…. don’t want to spend massive amounts in case he doesn’t like them.
More info: he has oily red skin. Not sensitive and it’s quite smooth.
I was thinking of getting a foam cleanser, some sort of peeling gel, toner, moisturiser and sun cream. His main conerns are reducing oil, reducing redness and quick easy products.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
😣😓
Hello Maggie👋🏼!! Just like your boyfriend I also have oily skin, here I let you some things and suggestions to keep in mind while choosing his skincare regimen.

First of all oily skin can be characterized by enlarged pores, oily shine (especially in the T-zone), and frequent acne. The goal for a regimen for this specific this skin type should be to balance skin’s moisture level. Stay away from arsh, drying formulas with ingredients like alcohol 🙅🏻, which will cause the skin to produce more oil, to make up for the moisture loss. Stick with water based, light-weight formulas that work to hydrate and regulate oil production.

thank you so much!
i’m using a few of those products now – might get him to try some and if he likes them – i’ll buy him some for the kit! 🙂
If not, then you’ve given me loads of examples (you’re the best!)
on a side note – is the Banila Co clean it zero balm similar to the Heimish clean it zero and Clinique take off the day balm?
No problem, well that’s even better, you can see how those products work for him, and be sure what to, and not to buy for him. About the cleansers, I can only speak about the Banila Co Clean It Zero Balm and the Heimish Clean It Zero, because I haven’t actually tried the Clinique Day Balm.

On that note, both of these cleansers are a great choice as your first cleanser. Being balms, there is no mess involved in having to deal with a liquid oil cleanser, which can get messy sometimes. Both have a silky smooth feel as you cleanse, though I feel the Heimish cleanses a bit more deeply. Both remove makeup gently, there is no need to rub heavily or hard for me to remove my mascara or…[Read more]
Hi Maggie,
I have oily/combo skin. In respect to cleansing balms, i have only tried Clinique’s take off balm and camomile balm from Bodyshop and found the Bodyshop one works just as great as Clinique’s one. But i personally use the balms only to remove my make up as i find i need something stronger for getting rid of the oil and impurities on my face.
I keep always going back to Neutrogena’s 2 in 1 face wash and mask, this face wash never disappoints me and saved my skin several times. Then I would recommend Klairs supple preparation toner and Cosrx all in one moisturiser. For the sunscreen, I use Biores one (it is so light on the skin) but i have also heard good things about…[Read more]
It was surprisingly good!
My pores looked smaller and it does even out the skintone a little (made me look a bit lighter)
My make-up did last longer. But i would suggest letting it set for 1-2 mins before applying foundation.
just a massive difference in price. In UK benefit is around £25.00 ~ £30.00.
This was around £6.00!

Whenever I have irritation or redness, this is what I turn to: https://beautytap.com/product/centella-asiatica-salve/
