Going Natural

Hi! I am new to this sub so I hope this post is ok. I wanted to share a my recent experience with deciding to try more natural products and leaving the big name cosmetics/skin care brands behind. So, I've always had oily skin. I've never really been able to find makeup to look good on me. At first I just kept trying different brands thinking that it wasn't right for me. After nothing worked, I decided that I needed to focus on skin care instead. Since I was so oily, I bought oil controlling moisturizer, primer, cleanser. This resulted in either my skin getting dried out or becoming even more oily. What the heck? Guess I'm just a freak of nature. Finally at age 38 I decided to search for some lesser known skin care brands since the popular ones just didn't work. I came across some natural, organic and/or small batch made ones along with natural blogs and thought I had nothing to lose. It costs money, though, so I had to save a bit to dive in. As of now, I have discovered that my skin type isn't really oily, it's dehydrated (!) and all the oil controlling products were just making it more dehydrated. Why isn't this ever addressed? I hardly ever see info about this and all the info just classifies skin as dry, normal, combo, or oily- not the reasons why, which can differ and create many more skin types and thus different kinds of treatment/products each person should use. Anyway, my skin is much more normal after using some natural products that actually penetrate my skin instead of just sitting on top (bye bye silicones in skin care!). I'm so excited to find what works and wanted to share! Final note, the first brand I tried was Odacite. I didn't see anything yet on here (although I haven't really read much yet) about it so wanted to say that I really like their serums and mask and plan to buy more soon. Got a sample of the mint mist and two private collection serums (i.e. expensive!) and I'm purchasing the mist when I can. Not affiliated, just one of the companies that has helped change my skin for the better! Glad to be on board with natural!
