I tried Green Beauty...

I have said this before, but I will say it again. I love trying new products especially  hair, beauty and health-related products! A few weeks ago I was watching Amy Lee’s Youtube video about her morning routine (which I will put the link below) she did  in collaboration with Follain. Follain is like a Sephora for green beauty, all of their products are non toxic and vegan. They had a special offer for the first 100 customers and I was excited because it was only for $16 for 4 products with free shipping and handling. So I decided why not? I got the products in two days and the packaging was quite lovely. When I open the box I love the  small and neat packaging, it gave me that luxury feel. It was wrapped neatly in a white tissue paper (the kind you put in gift bags) with a gold seal that says FOLLAIN. I have been wanting to try green beauty products for quite some time, but the prices always deterred me.

I ordered a cleanser by a brand called OSEA, a moisturizer and face wipes from URSA MAJOR, toner from INDIE LEE, and last but not least a hand washing soap made by Follain themselves. For the first week, I strictly used the green beauty products, I also used a rosehip oil every other day. In that first week, my face started to break out which turned out to be because of my upcoming monthly visit. I also wore my regular makeup just to see how  the products performed when it came to removing makeup. After that week, I tried the green beauty products with my regular products just to see how they mixed. Overall I did not like the products

First impressions: I did not see much of a difference in my skin. I have combination skin. Around my nose and T- Zone area, I get oily, but ever since I started using oil overnight after I have washed my face with a cleanser and toned my face. I wait for my face to air dry and then I put apply oil to my face by patting it in.  After a few days of using the green beauty products, I notice that the texture of my skin was not as smooth as it used to be. This may have also been due to the face that I did not have a mask to try; I usually do a facial mask 3 times a week.  Last week, when I mixed the green beauty products and my regular products into my routine, I still did not see much of a difference. Overall, I did not like the products that I ordered. I have been making changes to my skincare routine, but I think for now I will stick to products that cruelty-free.  Likewise, I will keep looking for green beauty products that are in my price range.  Although, the products did not work for me, that does not mean that they may not work for you. Also, I am not a skincare specialist just a skincare enthusiast. Your skin is your largest organ, you MUST take care of it.
