Clear skin is essential for the warmer weather. I tend to wear less makeup as the temperatures rise, so my skin needs to look flawless!
This starts with clean skin, exfoliation and a great serum is needed, too! Below are some products I have recently been sent for my honest review. I love most of them enough to use often and my skin looks great!
Beauty 360 Exfoliating Dual-Action Facial Cloths with Blood Orange ($7.99 USD) The dual-action Exfoliate Facial Cleansing Cloths feature two sides: one to gently exfoliate and the other to cleanse skin. These wipes are formulated with detoxifying Blood Orange Extract and purifying Cornflower Extract with Vitamin E to moisturize skin as they effortlessly remove makeup and wipe away the day. Ideal for normal, combination, and oily skin. Dermatologist tested.
Beauty 360 Soothe Facial Cleansing Cloths with Volcanic Water ($7.99 USD) — Fragrance free and perfect for even the most sensitive skin, the non-irritating Soothe Facial Cleansing Cloths are infused with mineral-enriched Volcanic Water to calm and purify skin as they effortlessly remove makeup and wipe away the day. Ideal for sensitive skin. Dermatologist tested. Biodegradable.
What I think: I am very impressed with these cleansing cloths. Both really clean my skin well and remove all makeup, even eye makeup. The Exfoliating cloths have a rough side as well as the softer side. And it is pretty rough, I have to use it gently so it doesn’t harm my skin. My favorites are the Soothe cloths. They cleanse and soften skin. My skin is not dry after use. They are good for day or night use.

What I think: I like how light this serum is. It immediately sinks into the skin. But it has a very strong scent of alcohol, and SD alcohol is the first ingredient in the serum. So I don’t think I am going to continue use. I’m afraid to dry out my skin and the scent is unpleasant. But, if you don’t mind the scent, this is very light for summer months.
