I tried the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana Skincare, a night face mask for sensitive skin and now you can check my full review about it.

The Neuro Sensi Mask is part of a new line of products by Arkana, a polish skincare brand that I already tried some products before (and that I loved!), and this night mask was developed for vascular and hypersensitive skin.

My skin can be quite sensitive, it can get irritated and red easily, so I thought this was a great mask to try in any occasion that my skin could be more sensitive.

I’m usually very careful with the products that I try at my skincare routine, but a little more than a month ago, my skin got very irritated with some products I was trying or it had some allergic reaction to some or any of the ingredients, so I stopped what I was trying and went back to good products I already tried and liked, so I also decided to try this Arkana facial mask for sensitive skin.

My review of the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana Skincare:

The Neuro Sensi Mask is an overnight mask (the kind of face mask you apply in the evening and sleep with it) that is targeted to do a night repair of hypersensitive and capillary skin, helping with the typical problems of this type of skin. It’s supposed to bring daily soothing and comfort and it’s allergen-free fragrance.

The application of this mask is recommended to be night care for those whom has hypersensitive and capillary skin, it can be active support of therapies of rosacea-prone skin, it can also be temporary care after esthetic treatments and it can be used in a daily application instead of a night cream.

As I mentioned, I started to use it when my skin was feeling irritated and it had many red spots (which is not very common on my skin, unless it had some allergy reaction or was irritated by some product) and it definitely helps to soothing and comfort the skin!

From the first day, I noticed that in the morning after my skin was calmer and less red than in the evening. And it was definitely helping my skin to recover from its redness during the following days.

Since I had some irritation on my skin, this was the only product that I was applying after washing my face in the evening. It made my skin feel soft and it helped to improve the redness in my skin caused by the irritation.

The texture of the Neuro Sensi Mask is very light and easy to apply. The product is easily absorbed by the skin. Once you apply it, you don’t feel the skin grassy at all and I have oily skin during the hot summer in Milan, so I would say it’s great even if you have oily/combination skin.

Overall, I’m very happy with the results of the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana, it helped my skin recover while keeping it smooth and with a silky texture. Luckily my skin it’s back at its normal!

It could be definitely a great night care option for after treatments, and for sensitive skin. I’ll keep using this night mask whenever my skin is more sensitive or when it needs some help to feel healthier after any irritation or redness.

I’ve been using the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi Beauty for about 3 months, so I think it’s safe to say I really liked this facial cleanser! I mean, I even forgot to try other cleansers I had in stock to try and review. 🙈

First thing I should say, I have combination/oily skin and I was a little afraid of trying a hydrating cleanser, but truth be told, even oily skin needs hydration! And everyone with this type of skin must be a little less afraid of hydrating products. I would even say that for a couple of years, from the time when I started to care more about hydrating and moisturizing better my skin, I think it’s actually less oily than it was before.

So I can say that even combination/oily skin could benefit from this cleanser, especially because I’ve been using it for so many months, that I can say it didn’t make my skin any oilier even in the long term.

• Hydrating Milky Cleanser (U$17,99) – Pixi (Review)

Pixi Beauty came out with this skincare collection called Hydrating Milky with many skincare products enriched with coconut, jojoba and probiotics. This line is suitable for all skin times.

And one of the first steps is the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi (to be used first in the morning and after the makeup remover in the evening). It’s suitable to be used in your morning and night skincare routine and that’s how I’ve been using it.

It has a creamy texture that gets really soft when in contact with the water. You can use it by itself to wash your face or you can use it with any face washing device you’re used to using (like I did in the video in the end of this article).

Buy it here: Milky Cleanser by Pixi (U$17,99).

It gives me a clean sensation and a soft feeling, it didn’t make the skin oily, not even after using it for 3 months.

I usually prefer foam cleansers, but I must say I was surprised by this Pixi cleanser and I fell in love with it.

It has some fragrance in its formulation, but I feel it very lightly. It didn’t cause me any irritation and I think it’s a very light smell, so it’s definitely not annoying like in skincare products with strong fragrance.

I’ve been also trying the Hydrating Milky Makeup remover from the same line (which melts makeup, but feel like an oil-based product when you apply it to the skin), so I think the creamy Hydrating Milky Cleanser is a great next step to remove all the oil from the makeup remover and clean well your skin.

By the way: never forget to use a cleanser product after makeup remover, to make sure your skin is clean and ready to apply any other skincare products.

Here’s a video in which I used most of the Hydrating Milky collection by Pixi, including the Hydrating Milky Cleanser, so you can even see its texture while in contact with the water and while applying it to my skin:

As someone who has oily skin, there was a time I was kind of afraid even to think of using a skincare product that was oil-based, until I tried the first facial oil 2 years ago and I loved the texture! It is not because the product is an oil texture one that it will leave your skin oily, in fact even if you have oily skin, you can use oil-based products with no problem at all and they can be great for your skin.
So today I’m doing a full review of the InLight Face Oil, a product and brand that I’ve met at the Cosmoprof last year and that I was testing for a couple of months, using it daily during my morning and night routine.

 

• InLight Face Oil: Review

I’d like to just mention that InLight Beauty is an organic cosmetic brand, and that this Face Oil is 100% organic, meaning that all ingredients present in this product are 100% natural and organic. And I’ve been really enjoying getting to know more natural and organic brands, because I love skincare products and since they are super present in my daily routine, it’s always better to pay attention to what ingredients and chemicals I’m applying to my skin.
So back to the InLight Face Oil: it’s a protective elixir for daily moisturising and it’s recommended for all skin types, including sensitive and/or damaged skin by sun and ageing.
The brand introduces this face oil with the following benefits:
– To help to balance production of skin sebum
– For long lasting moisturising feel
– To create a protective barrier and base for makeup
– To leave your skin feeling velvety soft
After using it for a couple of months, I really feel that my skin feels moisturised and smooth, this oil is not heavy and it didn’t leave my skin feeling oily. I applied it every day morning and night and my skin was never feeling oily because of the product.
I also liked it as a base for my makeup, the foundation apply very easily after this oil.
 

This face oil has a really light texture and it’s easily absorbed by the skin, it doesn’t make your skin look or feel oily and since it’s easily absorbed, it also don’t make your skin feel sticky or anything like it. It’s color is yellow, but it goes clear and transparent when you apply it into your skin.
You just need a few drops to apply this oil to your face and neck, by the way, never forget to apply your skincare in you neck as well! The packaging recommends from 2 to 5 drops for face and neck and that’s really it, you just need a small quantity of product.
You can apply it and after go with any other product that you feel the need to apply, or you can apply your daily sunscreen if it’s in the morning.
I usually apply oily products after I wash my face and apply an eye cream, so the third product will be the skincare oil-based product I’m using at the moment. In the night I do the same thing and sometimes I apply a face exfoliator before applying this oil.
I’ve been really enjoying using oil-based products and I really liked this Face Oil from InLight, for being light textured and actually making my skin smooth and moisturised after every application. Since I tried it for a good couple of months, I can also say that it didn’t leave my skin oilier even when I was applying it on a continuous basis, even on a long period of time.
 

• InLight Face Oil Ingredients:

 
* This product was sent me by the brand and, as always, all reviews on this blog show my real and sincere opinions on any products after I used for at least a month.

One of my favorite skincare products at this moment is the Combray Facial Oil (a regenerating face oil) which is a facial oil with only two ingredients and it has made my skin AMAZING! It is an antioxidant and multifunction oil.
 
And if you also have oily skin and you were scared just to read the word oil, wait a minute, because I also have oily/combination skin and the product is recommended for all skin types. Yes, I was also afraid of oils at first, but once you find an interesting product, you understand that even oily skins can use oil products, but attention, just apply the right amount to your skin and choose the right product. Anyway, let’s go back to Combray Facial Oil review. (This is a spontaneous review, I really liked the product, it’s not a sponsored blog post).

Combray Facial Oil contains only 2 ingredients and it’ss a multifunctional oil, but what does it promise?
It is an anti-aging treatment, which moisturizes the skin, soothes and regenerates it, and protects the softness of the skin.
I should add that I LOVE skincare products, but I had never been so excited about a single product as I am with this one, since I noticed visible improvements on a kind of a bad skin time I went through a while ago, while it was also very cold here in Milan, anyway, I talk more about my experience bellow.

• Combray Facial Oil: my favorite facial oil

Like I wrote above, the Facial Oil from Combray has several functions and properties in one single product.
You probably noticed in this last photo that the bottle is almost halfway through, so I really try a skincare product for a long time, because generally cosmetics are not products that give you immediate results and according to the brand’s information, I read that better results were visible after one month of using the product, by the time I’m writing this full review, I am already using Combray facial oil for almost 3 months every day, twice a day, and I’m really enjoying it.
Combray Facial Oil is rich in antioxidants and it contains only two (magic) ingredients: grape seed oil and another one called Oxofulleram, which is an antioxidant. The product has no other ingredients, preservatives, coloring or perfume and besides it all, the brand is cruelty free!

• Combray Facial Oil: product’s purposes

• Anti aging
• Hydration
• Calming and regenerating the skin
• Protect skin against oxidation caused by stress, pollution and inflammation

According to the brand’s website, they have clinical studies that demonstrate high product efficacy in reducing the appearance of free radical damage caused by oxidative stress, aging, sun, air pollution and inflammation.
In fact, you already start to see a difference in your skin in the early days, but of course I went deeper into the use of the product and I waited two months to be able to properly see the effects of the product on my skin and be able to actually review it properly.
 

• Combray Óleo Facial: How to use it

The product should be applied after washing your face, I have been using it both in the morning and at night and since it has several functions, I have been trying an almost minimal daily skincare routine: applying a cleanser gel to wash my face, an eye cream and the Combray facial oil.
Just a few drops for the face and neck, the recommended by the brand is: 6 drops, I think I have a small face or not for having a very dry skin, I often apply only 4 or 5 drops and that’s enough to my face. You should apply the product on the face and massage it with your fingertips, so that the product is better absorbed by your skin.
As you can see by the color of the oil in the photos, it has a dark color and the only care is actually massaging the product so it is well absorbed by the skin (it does not get your skin colored or anything) and take care of waiting a little at night and do not apply and lie on a white pillowcase straight after the application. But the brand itself has the instructions on how to apply the product and which are the movements indicated on the package.
 

• Benefits and my experience with Combray Facial Oil:

I started using the Combray Facial Oil at a time when it was very cold here in Milan and my skin, that’s actually a bit oily, was dry and even peeling close to the eye area. In fact I was even afraid to try a new product with the skin like that, but since I had met the brand on Cosmoprof last year (a cosmetics beauty fair that’s very respected worldwide), so I thought it was worth the try, since it has purposes like to moisturize and regenerate the skin.
And it was great, it helped my skin recover very well and in the following days and it also helped to keep it beautiful during the very cold days here, applying the product every day, I had no problem at all in my skin getting dry. It was super soft and hydrated all the time, even when I was in Switzerland and we had negative temperatures such as -6˚.C
I felt that in addition to being softer, my skin looks very moisturized and bright, in fact, I find myself in a great skin moment and I believe that the product also played a part on it. I also try to eat very healthy and, of course, that is something that helps to have healthy and beautiful skin. But with regards to the cold weather, I believe Combray Facial Oil has helped a lot in keeping my skin hydrated.

To summarize: I really liked Combray Skincare Facial Oil because the daily application left my skin looking healthy, soft and moisturized even on the very cold winter days. Plus, it’s a multifunction product that makes it easy for anyone who wants more everyday convenience and I also really enjoyed their travel size packaging, I’ve been using it straight on all my last trips.
The Combray brand is from the Netherlands, but Combray Facial Oil is sold and delivered worldwide by the brand’s website and you can get 20% OFF when you buy with the coupon code: MANU20 (the coupon is valid for only one month, so enjoy it while you can). Website: Combray Skincare
