Autumn Skincare Edit: Bright Hydrated Skin

As the days get shorter and cooler my skin tends to start lacking. It doesn't look as bright and makeup begins to not quite lay the same way. As Autumn kicks into gear so do my seasonal allergies. A chapped red and unfortunately flakey nose is no stranger around these parts. Although I keep my oily/combination skin type all year round that doesn't mean I still don't have to fight skin dullness and dehydration that comes with the fast approaching cooler weather. Fortunately, I don't have to change up my whole routine. I just add a few little pick me up products to perk up my skin and give it a boost of hydration and glow. 

My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask

I've never been into sheet masks. They always seemed way too watery and I could never really get them to sit on my face without them peeling back and slowly off my face like some disgusting rotting piece of flesh (sorry too much?!) This was until I found the My Beauty Diary sheet masks but, more specifically the My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Masks. This sheet mask is seriously the bees knees. I've always heard about Asian sheet masks being way more on point than the ones that circulate around US drugstores and damn it is a true matter of fact. Everything about it feels very high quality.  

Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask

Hello, Loves! For the past week and a half I have basically been on my death bed. If I had anything of any worldly value I would have made my last will and testament but, I don't so instead I just laid around waiting to die.During this time being sick really did a number on my skin so I picked up this Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask to help tame my issues. The mask is handmade, vegan, and preservative free. It's mission in life is to help oily skin by deep cleansing, calming breakouts and redness, and softening and balancing out the skin. 

Biore Self Heating One Minute Mask

Hello, Loves! I love a good deep clean. My skin type as you may know by now is pretty oily and I'm somewhat prone to getting clogged pores on my cheeks and chin. In order to prevent this I try to get a real deep down clean two to three times a week just to get rid of all of the makeup and dirt that my daily cleansing routine may have missed. This Biore mask really does the trick. I use this right after using my daily face cleanser. When the mask comes in contact with water it instantly warms on your face, opening your pores while the charcoal within the mask draws out all of the skins impurities. Although it says you only need to leave the mask on for a minute I tend to leave it on a little bit longer massaging it into each part of my face for about a minute and overall leaving it on for about five minutes. When I take it off my skin is noticeably brighter and my pores appear smaller. My skin also feels cool and fresh, it's an interestingly pleasant tingling sensation. This product doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped or too tight when I'm done but, I feel as though it could be a little too drying for people who have drier skin types.
