I tried "Skincare Diet" using Innisfree Rebalancing Blueberry Line

Par



Few months ago, I experienced a major hormonal breakout that lead me to change my whole skin care routine and decided to start a skincare diet. As the opposite of the K-beauty 10-Step Routine, the skincare diet overthrow the complicated skincare routines and focus on the basics of a skincare routine, eliminating all the non-essential products from the routine.
For my own skincare diet, I ditched all the oil cleansers, serums, ampoules and oils for a  water based cleanser, a toner and a lotion.
I chose the Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing line because of my love of blueberries and because bluberries are extremely rich in antioxidants that prevent free radicals from damaging and destroying skin cells. Another reason for my choice was the minimalistic and clean ingredients list of the different products in this Blueberry rebalancing line.

I will review and talk in more details about each product I used during my skin care diet period :

Blueberry rebalancing 5.5 Cleanser





Innisfree claims that Blueberry rebalancing 5.5 cleanser is a mild foam cleanser that control the oil-water balance and the PH level of the skin during cleansing. It is supposed to protect the essential moisture in the skin, keeping it supple and healthy.

As a first step of my skin care routine, I lather a small quantity of the cleanser on my wet clean hands to create bubbles, apply it on my damp face and then massage it gently for about one to two minutes.

I noticed that even if this product cleanses the skin very well and get rid of all the dirt, it is still very mild and gentle in comparison with the other foam cleansers in the market. It also maintain the skin natural moisture so you won't feel dryness right after cleansing.

Below is the list of the ingredients so check it out :

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin (20,000 Mg), Diglycerin, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Blueberry Extract (500mg), Allantoin (100mg), Butylene Glycol, Orange Peel Oil, Lavender Oil, Raspberry Ketone, Sodium Methylcocoyl Taurate, Benzyl Glycol, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoate, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Disodium Edetate, 1,2-hexanediol, Acrylate / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polyquaternium-67, Sodium Acetate




Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing Skin:


Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing skin is marketed as an excellent daily toner that restore oil-
water balance and the PH level of the skin. It claims that this watery toner delivers moisture to the skin with an irritation-free and fresh formula.

Right after cleansing, I apply it on a damp face by taking an adequate amount then dabbing it on my skin. When I am feeling generous I dab seven layers of this toner (7-toner method) to pamper my skin with all the good ingredients and the moisture that this toner offers.

When I purchased it I was a bit concerned since I have a very dry and dehydrated skin and this toner consensticy is very watery and light so I was surprised to find out that this light weight toner is actually very moisturising and give the skin a healthy glowy look.

I am sharing with you the list of ingredients, don't forget to check it.

Ingredients: 

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Propanediol, Glycerin, Glycereth-26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyquaternium-51, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis(Orange) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, C12-14 Pareth-12, Methyl Gluceth-20, Triethylhexanoin,Diphenyl Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin




Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing Lotion:






 The Blueberry Rebalancing Lotion is packed with triple hyaluronic acids to replenish and maintain moisture in the skin .    It also leaves your skin with a clean and refreshing finish for a radiant glow. It is supposed to keep the skin healthy by building a skin comforting PH level and oil-water balance.

After using the blueberry rebalancing skin, I gently spread an appropriate amount of this lotion and pat it into my skin for better absorption

I personally have always prefered creams over lotions since they don't really give a good amount of moisture to my dry skin.

But let me tell you that now, I am in love with the innisfree rebalancing lotion properties, including the consistency and how it easily absorbs into the skin, the amount of moisture it delivers without it being too heavy or sticky and the glowy dewy finish it gives me.

A quick check to the list of ingredients will keep your skin happy.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride , Propanediol, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) , Cyclomethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract (500mg), Sodium Hyaluronate, Squalane , Glyceryl Stearate , C12-14 Pareth-12, Methyl Gluceth-20 , Behenyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol , Carbomer , Dimethiconol , Tromethamine , Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer , Butylene Glycol , Polyisobutene , Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil , Ethylhexylglycerin , Fructooligosaccharides , Saccharide Hydrolysate , Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate , Pullulan , Disodium EDTA , Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil , Sorbitan Oleate , Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside , Hyaluronic Acid , Centella Asiatica Extract , Houttuynia Cordata Extract , Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract , Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid



I strongly recommend the Innisfree Blueberry rebalancing line for anyone with dehydrated, dry skin and sensitive skin since after using these products for a few months I noticed that my skin barrier is stronger and my skin condition is getting better. 
It is a great skin care routine that is also easy to follow and maintain and that sits very well under makeup giving you a glowy healthy looking skin.

Disclaimer: If you have any allergy reactions to essential oils than it would be better to patch test all the products before applying them since all of them have essential oils on them.

Have a good skin day everyone !

The "Duo" that saved my dry skin this last winter !

Throughout my teens, the only step I could spare my skin was cleansing twice a day. I always thought that having dry skin was a great convenience as it allowed me to enjoy a pimples-free skin as a teenager.  But as soon as I entered my mid-twenties, my skin started getting rough, tight, flaky and itchy. And it gets worst every winter which means it was time for me to step up my skincare game.  During this year's quest for hydrating skincare products, I came across the Goodal Green Tangerine Honey Moist Serum (50ml) + Ampoule Pack (30ml).  The Goodal Green Tangerine Honey Moist Serum is a highly nourishing and hydrating serum enriched with Jeju green tangerine and Canola honey to give the skin long-lasting hydration. This serum protects the skin from free radicals as it is rich with antioxidants (Argan oil and  Curcuma Longa Root Extract) and bioflavonoids derived from Green Tangerine.  After the toner, I would apply 2 pumps of the serum to my face and neck before

Vitamin C : The OG game-changer in skincare

If you are new to skincare, you have probably come across a few products that use Vitamin C as their main ingredient.  Vitamin C was discovered in 1930 and since then became one of the most well-researched and loved skincare ingredients. It is a superstar component that works as an antioxidant, anti-aging, and brightening nutrient.  Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that if formulated properly will work as an excellent antioxidant as it protects the skin from free radicals that cause DNA damage to our skin layers. It works as a great protective factor into UV rays if used under a sunscreen since it is found that it boosts the UV protection. It also improves the production of collagen in the skin, speeds up the wound healing process, and helps fade pigmentation and dark spots.    Normal skin contains a high concentration level of Vitamin C but it gets lower in aged or photodamaged skin. It has been reported that excessive exposure to oxidant stress via  pollutant

The 7 Skin Method with Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin

In 2017, the "7 Skin Method" went viral as the Korean beauty started getting more recognition in the west. The "7 Skin Method" is to apply your toner or watery essence to your face multiple times (up to seven times) to have hydrated and dewy skin. It is called 7 Skin Method since in Korea toners are usually called "skins".  I have been personally following the 7 skin method for a few years now and I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with dry skin as it will give your skin the hydration boost it needs especially during wintertime.  For this year's winter season, I used the Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin for my 7 Skin Method as it claims that it can be applied once as a toner that quickly penetrates the skin and twice or more as an ampoule with a deep no urishing effect which is just perfect for the harsh weather in winter.  The Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin is formulated with Gi-ney™ Complex, an Innisfree patent formula that
