A few months ago, I experienced a major hormonal breakout that lead me to change my whole skincare routine and decided to start a skincare diet. As the opposite of the K-beauty 10-Step Routine, the skincare diet overthrows the complicated skincare routines and focuses on the basics of a skincare routine, eliminating all the non-essential products from the routine.

For my skincare diet, I ditched all the oil cleansers, serums, ampoules, and oils for a water-based cleanser, a toner, and a lotion.

I chose the Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing line because of my love of blueberries and because blueberries are extremely rich in antioxidants that prevent free radicals from damaging and destroying skin cells. Another reason for my choice was the minimalistic and clean ingredients list of the different products in this Blueberry rebalancing line.

What were the key products that I used during my skincare diet?

Blueberry rebalancing 5.5 Cleanser

Innisfree claims that Blueberry Rebalancing 5.5 cleanser is a mild foam cleanser that controls the oil-water balance and the PH level of the skin during cleansing. It is supposed to protect the essential moisture in the skin, keeping it supple and healthy.

As a first step of my skincare routine, I lather a small quantity of the cleanser on my wet clean hands to create bubbles, apply it on my damp face, and then massage it gently for about one to two minutes.

I noticed that even if this product cleanses the skin very well and gets rid of all the dirt, it is still very mild and gentle in comparison with the other foam cleansers on the market. It also maintains the skin’s natural moisture so you won’t feel dryness right after cleansing. Below is the list of the ingredients so check it out :

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin (20,000 Mg), Diglycerin, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Blueberry Extract (500mg), Allantoin (100mg), Butylene Glycol, Orange Peel Oil, Lavender Oil, Raspberry Ketone, Sodium Methylcocoyl Taurate, Benzyl Glycol, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoate, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Disodium Edetate, 1,2-hexanediol, Acrylate / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polyquaternium-67, Sodium Acetate

Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing Skin

Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing Skin is marketed as an excellent daily toner that restores oil-

water balance and the PH level of the skin. It claims that this watery toner delivers moisture to the skin with an irritation-free and fresh formula.

Right after cleansing, I apply it on a damp face by taking an adequate amount and then dabbing it on my skin. When I am feeling generous I dab seven layers of this toner (7-toner method) to pamper my skin with all the good ingredients and the moisture that this toner offers.

When I purchased it I was a bit concerned since I have dehydrated skin and this toner is very watery and light so I was surprised to find out that this lightweight toner is very moisturizing and gives the skin a healthy glowy look.

I am sharing with you the list of ingredients, don’t forget to check it.

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Propanediol, Glycerin, Glycereth-26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyquaternium-51, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis(Orange) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, C12-14 Pareth-12, Methyl Gluceth-20, Triethylhexanoin,Diphenyl Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing Lotion

The Blueberry Rebalancing Lotion is packed with triple hyaluronic acids to replenish and maintain moisture in the skin.    It also leaves your skin with a clean and refreshing finish for a radiant glow. It is supposed to keep the skin healthy by building a skin-comforting PH level and oil-water balance.

After using the blueberry rebalancing skin, I gently spread an appropriate amount of this lotion and pat it onto my skin for better absorption

I have always preferred creams over lotions since they don’t give a good amount of moisture to my dry skin.

But let me tell you that now, I am in love with the Innisfree rebalancing lotion properties, including the consistency and how it easily absorbs into the skin, the amount of moisture it delivers without it being too heavy or sticky and the glowy dewy finish it gives me.

A quick check to the list of ingredients will keep your skin happy.

It is a great skin care routine that is also easy to follow and maintain and that sits very well under makeup giving you a glowy healthy looking skin.

Disclaimer: If you have any allergy reactions to essential oils than it would be better to patch test all the products before applying them since all of them have essential oils on them.

Have a good skin day everyone !
