I have dark melanated skin, and finding products that will absorb and not leave a sticky residue or white cast has been a challenge for me since teenage years. I’m 27 now and my skin has never looked so hydrated, dewy and smooth since perhaps pre-puberty. The cleanser is gentle enough for me to wash my face as many times as needed (I have an excessive amount of sebum and dead skin build-up for some reason) without harshly drying out my skin—which is something I desperately needed to make sure my skin is clean enough for other products to absorb (why I used to have an issue with residue/white cast). After cleansing, I spritz my face with the toner and apply hyauronlic acid as the base to help my skin soak up the rest of the green tea products. I spritz my face with toner again (making sure I keep my face moist to aid in absorption), then apply the serum and massage it into my skin really well. Then I spritz again (sounds like a lot of moisture I know, for my combination skin, it works wonders for what’s dry and doesn’t irritate the oily-prone t zone), then use a little bit of green tea lotion and message that really well. Oh yes, don’t forget the neck! And then spritz one more time and allow my skin to absorb it all. I’m left with dewy, smooth and hydrated skin that lasts ALL day!! I have never seen my skin look this nice!
