BEAUTREE PLA Bubble Exfoliating Cleansing Pads

BEAUTREE’s PLA Bubble Pads are a natural and earth-friendly 5-in-1 solution for cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, brightening, and soothing the skin. PLA stands for Polylactic Acid, which is the bioplastic the pads are made from, and it’s created from 100% renewable and non-GMO corn starch. Furthermore, it’s completely compostable, so the environmental impact is minimized through the entire life cycle of each pad.

They key superfood ingredients that combine to give the pads their cleansing benefits are blueberry, oatmeal, and moringa extracts. Blueberry is a potent antioxidant and conditioner, oatmeal soaks up oils and acts as an anti-inflammatory, while moringa leaf has significant anti-aging benefits. In addition to using only eco-friendly ingredients, they’re scent-free and BEAUTREE has also completed extensive testing to ensure there’s no risk of skin irritation.

The pads are provided dry, and only require a small amount of water to activate, so they’re really convenient to store and easily portable as well despite the somewhat large container. I really appreciate the integrated pocket in each pad, which made it easy to use both sides of the pad without wasting any product on my hands. 

I had no problem working the soft side of the pad into a bubbly lather, and it definitely cleaned up my face and neck very well. I love the exfoliating side as well, as it’s easy to vary the effect by changing the pressure applied and it seems to work great for targeting the neck and decolletage areas. 

Overall, it left my skin feeling softer, gently exfoliated, clean, not dried stripped of oils. If necessary, I also think it’d be no problem to rinse them off and add some of your own cleanser if you need a bit more to finish up during your skincare routine. 

However, I did find that it’s not sufficient on its own when cleansing from a full face of makeup; you’ll almost certainly want to double-cleanse and bring the pad in after makeup removal.

All that said, BEAUTREE Cleansing Pads are very safe and effective, and the exfoliation is light enough that you could use them on a daily basis. I highly recommend them if you’re on the lookout for natural and environmentally conscious cleansers! Also, check out their BEAUTREE Blemish Calming Treatment Pads made with different ingredients like eggplant, broccoli and tomato to help combat acne!

Bye Bye Blemishes | Erno Laszlo



Bye Bye Blemishes! This set has been my go-to summer night routine and still is as we head into the fall. I’ve struggled with acne my entire life, even into my thirties, so making the choice to select this starter kit from Erno Laszlo has been a perfect fit. I wanted to give Jessica from the Laszlo team a big thank you for reaching out and inviting me to be a part of the “Laszlo Icons.”


This is not my first experience with the brand as I had tried and fallen in love with their Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar, which is a powerful cleansing bar that instantly refreshes and balances your skin’s oil with 26 minerals. A definite must in anyone’s routine! 

Now back to the kit. What’s inside?
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Cleansing Clay Mask
Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion (Toner)
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse
Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream


Plus other little goodies like an adorable scrunchie, stickers and Marilyn Monroe’s skincare ritual. It's evident that Erno Laszlo has been around for quite some time helping such icons as Monroe, Greta Garbo and even Audrey Hepburn.


To start I used the
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse which includes a formula of super fruits like pineapple, Jujube and kiwi that help clarify and smooth skin. This cleanser reminds me of the Sea Mud Bar, but with an easier application and a nice lather.


I followed this with the Exfoliate & Detox Cleansing Clay Mask, a mineral enriched, pink hued, creamy mask that was easy to spread and set comfortably on the face for the 15 minutes. It is a relatively lightweight mask that works hard to remove impurities but leaves your face soft and hydrated from the rosewater. I love masking so I was happy to see this included in the kit!


Next, I applied the Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion, which is a toner that removes surface oils and heals skin with anti-inflammatory botanicals that support natural tissue repair. Even though it contains Alcohol Denat. it did not strip my skin of hydration, but I have oily skin so maybe it could be harsh for sensitive skin.


Lastly, and of my favorites of the set, is the Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream. This one is a lightweight formula that soaks right into the skin without any greasy feeling and works hard to match one’s skin pH and restores naturally found fatty acids for a glowing complexion. It can also be applied to the neck and decollete area for an encompassing nightly moisturizer.


I’m honestly upset that I love these so, because each product is quite pricey for my teacher’s budget, but definitely worth the investment for my skin. After a month of use and the stresses of daily life and the process of moving I found this ritual to combat stress acne successfully. Overall, if you can indulge, I would suggest you try Erno Laszlo out even if it’s just the Sea Mud Bar. These are exceptional skincare products that work strikingly well!

Thank you Erno Laszlo for this experience and I’m happy to be an honorary #LaszloIcon

clariSEA Pore Clearing + Brightening Peel Off Mask


I am excited to share my thoughts on the clariSEA Pore Clearing + Brightening Peel Off Mask, a detoxifying and softening rosewater infused mask. I have oily and acne-riddled skin, so a good peel-off mask usually makes my skin feel refreshed and clean. It’s made with activated bamboo charcoal powder, which helps trap and remove toxins, debris, oils on the face, for a good deep clean.


I always prep my skin before with cleansing and toning, as directed you can apply to just your t-zone or have an all-over face masking experience. I went with the latter since my oil and pore problems don’t just stop at my t-zone.


There is a faint alcohol-like scent out of the tube, but comes from the Organic Grape Alcohol ingredient, which differs from the typical synthetic or non-organic alcohols we’re used to seeing in products. It quickly dissipates and becomes unnoticeable once the mask is placed on the skin. It was a bit messy and slightly tacky to apply as I just went for it with my fingers, but it was good kind of mess that took seconds to wash off. Next time I’d definitely use a brush instead. I used a combination of circular motions and patting the formula on until I felt I had good thick coverage.


I instantly felt a slight cooling and tightening as the mask dried. It’s recommended to allow between 20-30 minutes for the mask to do its magic. I waited a bit beyond the full 30 minutes as I was multitasking. I noticed it start to flake and peel itself off the skin right at end, which made it easier to find starting points to remove. It didn’t take much to peel the mask off nor was it irritating or pulling on my skin, in fact it was almost effortless. For the most part it came off in big pieces, but the remaining little bits of mask I easily swiped away with a wash cloth and followed it up with a rinse and moisturizer.


There were incredible and highly noticeable results in the appearance and feel of my skin after removing, even prior to moisturizing. My skin feels refreshed, clean and smooth! Hands down, clariSEA has an amazing, natural, reasonably priced mask that leaves your skin feeling radiant, clarified and detoxified!

Huangjisoo Pure Daily Foaming Cleanser Deep Clean


Dr. Huang Ji Soo developed a line of skincare products after being inspired by her mother’s struggle with dermatitis and psoriasis. Her passion is to provide a trustworthy alternative to medicine that can be used by everyone, with or without skin conditions. I was given the opportunity to review Huangjisoo Pure Daily Foaming Cleanser, which is a Deep Clean face wash made with peppermint.



The unique feature of Huangjisoo is that it contains 98% natural ingredients that are extracted from nature and is therefore gentle on one’s skin. It contains a neutral PH so as to not destroy our skin’s natural barrier while still cleansing. This cleanser is also hypoallergenic-approved after extensive testing, leaving a formula that is great for ultra-sensitive skin. It’s also rated EWG Green Grade (1-2), meaning the ingredients are harmless to skin, made cruelty free and pregnancy safe.


Some standout ingredients include peppermint extract with its natural analgesic and antiseptic properties, which relieves, soothes, and boosts nutrients like Vitamins A and C. Wild mint extract opens and awakens the skin to a deep cleaning and leaves a soothing cooling sensation on the skin. Persimmon leaf extract clarifies skin, alleviates symptoms of dermatitis, and softens skin as well.



The bottle stands out for its unique bubbly shape, adorned with purple flowers and a nicely sized foaming dispenser. The Deep Clean product is formulated to address such problems as oily skin and enlarged pores. The foam gently but effectively removes excess oils and makeup, while also deep cleaning pores to reduce their appearance and increase the skin’s elasticity. Even over the age of thirty, I still have problematic, oily skin and acne issues, and that’s why I was thrilled to try this out.



I implemented this into my routine after I removed the majority of my makeup with a makeup wipe. However, you can even use this cleanser solely for removing makeup if you so choose. Easily enough, I dampened my skin beforehand and used just a single pump and gently massaged it in a circular motion over my face. I like to finish by rinsing with cool water to tighten the pores, too.



I absolutely love the fun, foamy experience of the micro cloud bubbles that left my skin feeling rejuvenated. I find that it also feels slightly tingly (from the mint) after application, but ultimately smooth and clean. There is a soft, sweet lilac scent, but nothing overwhelming if you are sensitive. Huangjisoo Pure Daily Foaming Cleanser is an amazing daily foaming cleanser that produces noticeable results just after one use. Honestly, my skin feels amazing enough that I cannot wait to try out her other cleansers.
