Products We Love: Being True Harmonizing Collection


Oily-skin haters rejoice! One of my favorite products recently, has been the squeaky-clean feeling, freshly-scented, mattyfing harmonizing line. I'm oily prone andI'm also break-out prone; using a line like this that will control my oil situation without completely drying me out is really, truly ideal for me.

How to Fight the Oil: and WIN!
I start off my skin care regime with the harmonizing gel cleanser. The cleanser has Lavender essential oils (did you read our post about that?) and natural astringents to gently cleanse without stripping my skin. So I splash a little water on my face, put a small amount of the cleanser on my fingertips and lather away. Not a super-thick lather, but it smells amazing and it definitely gets everything off. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. ($35 for 200ml)

Not a part of the harmonizing line, but because I'm breakout prone I also use the clarifying toner. This toner is perfect for oily skin, and it removes the residue that tap water leaves behind. Trust me- your skin care routine is not complete without a toner!*If you're oily but not break-out prone then you may need our soothing tonic which is non-drying and for more sensitive skin. Apply a small amount with a cotton round and voila! You're ready for round 3. ($30 for 200 ml)

Round 3 is my favorite part: the oil control hydrator. Notice how it's not called a moisturizer? Because it doesn't have that super-rich, lotion-like feel to it. It moisturizers with antioxidants and antibacterial properties without adding too much oil to the skin. Three or four pumps from the bottle covers my entire face in a nice, easy, light matte finish. I especially love it for the day because it strikes just the right balance between oil control, without making me look like I have incredibly dry skin! ($52 for 30 ml)

And finally is the weekly pampering option: The harmonizing oil control mask (kit includes ritual bowl and brush for application). It contains argille clay, arnica montana extract, as well as lactid acid. Used in combination all of these ingredients help to heal and brighten the skin, while providing oil control and making skin oddities and enlarged pores less noticeable.

The result? Immediately clean, fresh, and controlled skin.

You're welcome.
