I was freaking out so much yesterday, because my skin seems to be getting worse as I frantically tried toner and moisturizers that promised to hydrates my skin to the next century. I practically coated my face with extra layers of toners and moisturizers at night, but when I woke up this morning, my skin was still feeling dry, tight, and the flaking I saw yesterday was lessen (I used the cleansing oil twice last night, and I guess it helped a little, as the flaking was all over my face yesterday instead of just on my cheeks and under the jaw).
Urgh, my skin was so dry that it was peeling and wrinkling. It wasn't fun.
Though, as you can see, I'm a little bit happy with the Black Snail cream after all, because the redness is almost gone, and no more itchy skin :)
With this weird skin behavior, I decided to use the two step oil cleansing again instead of just the foam cleanser. I only needed one pump this time, and it covers all my face :) I was doing a little scrubbing motion with my fingers instead of an exfoliator, because I feel like my skin is too dry for that. After that, I added a little bit of water and continue to massage the oil into my skin.
Before using this oil, I wasn't sure how well it emulsify with the water, but as you can see, it mixes with the water and formed a milky, watery mixture, and it's easy to wash off with cool water (I uses cool water instead of warm, because it help not drying out my skin more than it already is).
I followed up with a foam cleanser, and felt so much better! This is definitely an extra step that I don't mind, because the oil feels so good on my super dehydrated skin. It has only a very faint smell of olive oil, and the ingredients is so very simple :) I'm in love with this, and it's only been the second day of using it. With the main ingredients being olive oil, it's a great oil cleanser, and I hope in time it will help my skin regain its water barrier and become hydrated again. I'm just going to stick to using it at night instead of using it every time I wash my face, because don't want to overload my skin with oil, despite wanting the feeling of soft, hydrated skin after using the oil. It might take a little bit of time till my skin return to normal, I'm just hoping it won't be long.
Here's a picture of my skin looking much better after the oil cleansing.
Less redness, more hydrated, and feeling oh so soft <3333333
This oil cleanser might become my holy grail product XD
