As someone with incredibly dry, sensitive skin, I could never find a solution for skincare. I'd tried it all: drugstore cleansers, washes that were labeled as " For context: I'm allergic to salicylic acid, an ingredient found in most skincare products - it makes me break out into red bumps! When I found out one of my favorite actresses, Millie Bobby Brown, was releasing a skincare line aimed at those with sensitive skin - I was overjoyed. I've been using the Cleanser and Moisturizer for about a year and seen a major improvement in keeping my face clean AND a lack of allergic reaction. Back in December, I was lucky enough to get in contact with Florence by Mills, and they were kind enough to send me products from their newest drop, which I've taken photos with and reviewed down below. A SUPER special thank you to them for sponsoring this post!!
Low-Key Calming Peel-Off Mask
- While I understand the apprehension with Peel-Off Masks, I can assure you that this one is definitely worth your time. Visually, the pink shimmer is so pretty to look at. I apply with a silicon mask applicator, spreading a more-or-less even coat on my face. Even though I do look a little funny in rose-gold (and because I love you all SO much, I'm willing to embarrass myself on the internet), I felt the cooling of the mask settle in and it felt so relaxing. After about 10-15 minutes, I peeled it off (a process that was completely not abrasive), and saw my skin calm and clear! There was no irritation, and the result truly lives up to the name.
- Key Ingredients: -Water Lily Extract: A soother that helps leaves skin feeling soft and nourished.
-Chamomile Extract: A calming force packed with antioxidants hat soothes angry
skin to bring happier times.
- Witch Hazel: An oil-balancer that helps soothe skin and keep pores clear and
happy.
Episode Toners
- Because of my dry skin, I use the Episode 1: Brighten Up Toner. I apply with a cotton pad on my face after using the Cleanser in the shower, and after three weeks of using, I notice a BIG difference in my skin. The small black pores on my skin have disappeared, my skin overall is less prone to breakouts and just feels smoother, more moisturized. Overall, I truly love this product (and hope I don't run out soon!
- Key Ingredients:
- Agastache Mexicana: A friendly plant full of antioxidants that help give skin a
brighter glow.
- Lavender Water: Like meditation for your skin, lavender helps calm and balance
oil so our skin can find its light.
- Cucumber Water: Like a trip to the spa, cucumber helps skin cool off and relax.
Jasmine Lily Face Mist
- I'm a huge fan of the Rose Face Mist - I have about three bottles in my bathroom cabinet! While the two mists are used for effectively the same thing - a quick spritz on the go to brighten your skin if it's feeling irritated - the scent and extracts vary. I personally like the scent of the Jasmine Lily Mist better, and feel like it calms my skin on a bad day slightly better than the Rose Mist.
- Key Ingredients:
- Thyme Extract: A herby ingredient chock-full of antioxidants that protect against
nasties lurking in air pollution.
- Bladderwrack Seaweed: A sea plant that brings the chill and puts moisture back
into dull, tired skin.
- Lily & Jasmine Blend: Botanical BFFs that help balance and hydrate, hydrate,
hydrate!
Oh Whale! Clear Lip Balm
- This lavender tube with the little white whale at the end stole my heart as soon as I opened the package. I am someone with chronically dry lips, especially in the cold winter we're having, so I am always reapplying lip balm. Whilst not the most long-lasting protection, the flavor is good and I feel like my lips are thoroughly moisturized!
- Key Ingredients:
- Argan Oil: Extracted from a Moroccan nut, this oil feeds skin with omega
fatty acids.
- Avocado Oil: Like a hug for your lips, this moisturizer keeps them soft,
smooth, and flake-free.
- Shea Butter: A soothing plant butter that seals in moisture so your lips stay
happy for hours.
Tinted Glow Yeah Lip Oil
- Though not pictured, can be seen on me in all of the photos! I absolutely ADORE this product. This is a lip oil, so it goes on a lot smoother than a normal lip color or lip balm - and stays ON! It doesn't flake or get dry and clumpy - and gives my lips a nice color enhancement. I use it as a lip balm during the day and as a color to go out (under my mask, of course!).
- Key Ingredients:
- African Mango Butter: A nutrient-dense hydrator that adds serious
moisture and shine to lips.
- Paracress Flower: A floral extract that smooths and softens dry lips.
Swimming Under The Eye Gel Pads
- These eye pads right here, these, I swear on. As someone who is always either on her computer or phone, sleeps a little less than she should, and doesn't drink as much water as she should, my eyes tend to get tired easily, and the bags underneath my eyes can attest to it. I could never afford these under the eye pads, so I was so blessed to be able to be sent the pack to try. I excitedly applied them with the applicator that comes in the package, and left them on for a little too long, but only because they relaxed me so much. After using, my eyes were definitely less puffy and strained, but overall, made me feel SO relaxed. Would recommend to everyone who, like me, needs a little more self-care for their eyes!
- Key Ingredients:
- Coconut Extract: A tropical wonder that helps soothe and de-puff.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: A super moisturizing form of hyaluronic acid that ditches
dullness.
- Pine Extract: A good source of antioxidants that help feed skin.
