Pacifica Skin Care for Dry Skin + First Impression

So I’ve been dealing with extremely dry and itchy skin. I’ve been searching for some ‘moisturizing’ skin care products to alleviate these symptoms. I’ve seen Pacifica skin care products whenever I’m out shopping. I thought I would give them a try this time. They have good reviews and all. Plus, they are vegan and cruelty-free. Why not? I ended up picking up….

• Pacifica Rose Flower Hydro Mist
• Pacifica Cosmic Shield Hydration Lock Face Cream

I’ve had a chance to try both of them, so I can give my thoughts on them right now.

*Reviews*

Pacifica Rose Flower Hydro Mist:

This is a hydrating spray or ‘hydro mist’ as it states on the bottle. It is indeed moisturizing, but it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It takes a few minutes for the product to absorb into the skin. I only spray my face once (in the morning) after I apply my makeup. It’s because my BB Cream can make my skin look dry and cracked. Yuck! It seems to be working. The only thing I don’t like about this spray is the fragrance.

Pacifica Cosmic Shield Hydration Lock Face Cream:

I was hoping to find a good face cream. This cream is more on the runny side. The texture feels more like a thicker serum than a face cream. It absorbs into the skin very well and leaves it feeling hydrated. I do have oily skin, and it did feel quite heavier on my skin than expected. I know anything that feels heavy on the skin will eventually break me out. That’s what happened. I ended up with a pimple near my hairline after using this. I stopped using it on my face. This ‘face cream’ isn’t for me. It sure works very well as an eye cream. It’s lightweight in texture, goes on delicately, and very hydrating. Same with this product (as the hydro mist), it has fragrance. Meh. I prefer my skin care products without fragrance.

Those are my thoughts on these skin care products. Check out my ongoing Tretinoin Journey! ^.^

Drinking Water for Clear Skin. My Results.

I’ve been drinking water consistently for 2 weeks straight. I mean, a lot of water. I would squeeze some lemon or lime in my water for an antioxidant boost. I would add organic raw apple cider vinegar. Make tea. Or, just drink plain ‘ol water to hydrate myself. The more I did it, the easier it became. When I would run out of water, I would refill it whenever possible. Yeah, I went to the bathroom a ton, lol. I do have electrolyte packets too just in case I drink too much water. There is such a thing as too much of something.

Has drinking more water affected my skin? YES! My skin doesn’t feel too dry anymore. It feels and looks supple. It still does have that natural sebum appearance that I’m always trying to get rid of, lol. When I wash my face in the morning and at night, my skin doesn’t feel tight. It looks really nice and hydrated. Keep in mind that I am using skin care products to maintain a clear complexion too. Without them, I don’t think water alone would clear my skin up. My skin is way more difficult than that. Increasing my water intake does help. It’s just a part of being healthy and taking care of yourself from the inside out. 🙂

Also, I’m moving towards to not wearing makeup on a daily basis. I would have a debate if I should wear makeup or not when I’m getting dressed. When I do wear makeup, it just doesn’t feel right on my skin even though it’s a thin layer of makeup. Maybe I’ve grown accustomed to my natural skin. I’ll try to wear makeup again some time next week (maybe, lol). I didn’t mention this, but my hair feels very healthy too. It feels fuller. It could just be an illusion, since my overall health is fantastic! Everything feels so good. HAHA. 😀

I recommend drinking more water if you’re not. Remember not to overdo it. Stay hydrated. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Good luck! ✌
