Daily Skin Care Routine for Oily Skin

Hi guys!  I filmed a video today on my daily skin care routine for oily skin.  I quickly talked about the products that I like to use (I'll list them all below for you) on a regular basis.  I like to stick to a routine as I find it really helps my oily skin.

Products I Mentioned : 

Baby Life Sensitive Baby Wipes $4 

Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It $14 

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser $10 

Life Cleansing Toner $5 

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips $8

Aveeno Fresh Essentials Daily Moisturizer $20 

Aveeno Fresh Essentials Night Cream $25 

Walmart Stipple Brush $6

Water Bottle $10

Hope this has helped any of you out there with oily skin!  I know that it can be a real drag and frustrating when you're prone to pimples!  But fret not, find products that work for you and stick to a routine!  Sticking to a routine is one of the best things (besides plenty of water and sleep) that you can do for your skin.  If you want me to do any specific product reviews be sure to let me know!  And if you have any product suggestions or tips for oily skin, I'd love to hear about them!  Have a good skin day!

Garnier BB Cream

So I have recently jumped on the bandwagon of this latest trend which has been popular in East Asia for years now, the BB Cream (or beauty balm cream). I haven't been using any heavy foundations lately, mostly a tinted moisturizer and I figured I'd give this a go!

I will give you a brief description of what Garnier likes to advertise for their BB Cream. They claim it is the miracle skin perfecter with 5 benefits. "It corrects, brightens, evens, is a UV protector and hydrates." I got the shade Light/Medium and it retails for about $18 at Walmart.

My first impression of the cream was it had a pleasant smell. I can't describe it too much but it does slightly remind me on a floral soap scent, but it isn't too strong and disperses fairly quickly. Straight from the tube it looks too dark, which made me slightly worried that it wouldn't match my skin since I am quite fair but once blended into the face it matches perfectly.

I have recently figured out that my skin type is more normal to dry and I find that this helps a lot. It makes you look really fresh, and I have often had people tell me I look flawless when I am wearing it. I have noticed that lately my skin has also looked brighter from using it and it doesn't clog my pores, which is a huge bonus for me.

All in all I would suggest giving it a shot! I absolutely love it and it has made a nice home in my daily makeup routine.

What are your thoughts on BB Creams? Leave me a comment.
