Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Beauty Update – Skincare

December 27, 2019

I thought it was time to give a mention to what I’m doing for skincare and makeup as I think it’s been awhile. Mostly, I’ve been using the same products for around two or three months. Here’s what I’ve been using.

I went ahead and purchased the big tube of Fresh’s Soy Facial Cleanser and the Son and Park Beauty water back in July. The beauty water was finally available after months of being MIA on the Sephora website, so I figured it was a good time to get everything. I have been using the cleanser daily since then and I still have enough left for another month or so. The beauty water is also still chugging along, although I did have a couple weeks when I used something else. I only use it for a toner so that big bottle is lasting.

For moisturizing I used Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Cream during the day and the Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Night Cream at night. I bought the minis near the end of August and they lasted two months and I replenished again and at the beginning of December I tossed them (they were almost gone anyway) because they didn’t seem to be moisturizing enough now that colder weather is in. They worked great earlier though and I do like them. After that I started using the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream and it’s okay. I don’t feel it’s super moisturizing but it’s fragrance free and works with everything else so I’m going to use it until the end of December when I’ll get something else. I have the L’Oreal Collagen Cream but oh boy it’s got a lot of fragrance in it. So, I’ll have to keep looking for a heavier cream for the winter.

I purchased the Cotz Face Moisture Lightly Tinted Sunscreen in July or August and I’m getting down to the end of the tube – I still have enough for the rest of December at least. Again, another product that you don’t need a lot of so that tube’s going to last. I use it every morning after moisturizing and this sunscreen also has the feel of a primer which I like. I’ve not really jumped on the primer bandwagon yet but this is one I could use all the time for sun protection and a primer. It’s an all mineral sunscreen so my skin doesn’t react.

For exfoliation I tried the Fresh Strawberry Exfoliating Wash (got the mini) and it’s not bad. It’s like a more liquid version of their brown sugar scrub that’s in a jar. It smells really good, but I’m not really sure it’s making a difference. As a physical exfoliant is gentler but still grainy. Sensitive skins will want to sample first. I also found this cool brush at TJ Maxx for exfoliation and I like it. I’ve only used it once (need to road test a little more), but it’s super soft and nonirritating. It feels really good on the skin. So, I think I’ll add that in more often and see how it works out.

And that’s it on the skincare. I’ll post on the makeup next since this post got a little long.
