Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash You Will Love

February 3, 2020 · 14 Comments

REVIEW: Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash is a remarkable K-Beauty wash that leaves skin supple.


Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash is different from other vegan washes you may have tried.

We knew eating Kale was good for you, but who knew it could be so beneficial as a face wash? We found out when we tried Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash, an exceptionally gentle but effective wash that cleanses skin without stripping it.

Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash

Why Kale for Cleansing

Kale is gentle but nutrient rich.

Let’s take a closer look at what Kale and the other natural ingredients in this formula can do.

Sigi Skin Ingredient Spotlight


Kale for skin

Kale

Kale

Brassica Oleracea Acephala Leaf , AKA Kale, contains Vitamins A, B, C, and K, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Topical kale application promotes collagen production, tightens pores, detoxifies the skin and fights free-radical damage

Eucalyptus Definition on on StyleChicks

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus Oil is purifying, cleansing, clarifying, and immune-boosting oil. It reduce harmful bacteria and infections on contact. It can be a strong oil, but is well buffered and delicate within this formulation for benefit without stripping or stinging skin.

Bergamot fruit

Bergamot

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia, better known as Bergamot has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Linalool and carvacrol are compounds in bergamot oil. Both are excellent anti-inflammatories for skin issues such as acne and skin irritation.[1]

Soybean ingredient on StyleChicks.com

Soybeans

Soy Extracts

Soybeans are both an emollient and an anti-oxidant. Soybeans are are in Vitamin E which softens and reduces inflammation.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor

Castor Oil is a humectant. It draws moisture into the skin, making it plumper and hydrated. It softens skin with its’ high Vitamin E content. Castor Oil gently treats acne without drying the skin.

Castor Oil is typically too thick and sticky to apply directly to the skin, but in this formulation, it works effectively with no residue or unpleasant scent.

Glycerin

Glycerin helps skin retain moisture.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E oil softens skin, making scars pliable again. It reduces wrinkles with its’ humectant abilities.

OUR SIGI SKIN EXPERIENCE

I first used it one morning, as I mentally was going through my to-do list and generally distracted. I had patch-tested it for reactions a few days prior, so I knew it had a nice jelly-like texture and subtle Eucalyptus scent.

But then as I applied it to my face and started massaging it in, my mental to-do list melted away as I realized that the texture and sensation of this face wash was a world of difference from my standard cleansers, all of which I considered pretty great.

I literally said “OH WOW!” out loud.

So…continuing the recommended 120 seconds of face washing felt like a glorious but fleeting spa treatment. I delighted in making small, gentle circles around my face with my fingertips

Another surprise came when I washed it off: despite the medium-jelly consistency, it washed off clean and without any scrubbing. My face was truly clean: no vestiges of last night’s skincare routine.

And for as gentle as the cleanser is, it had taken off a mild layer of dead skin that was leaving my skin a little dull. My face had a healthy glow, which is a great way to start a morning!

As I went about my morning routine, I noticed something interesting, even though my skin felt truly and deeply clean, it wasn’t at all tight feeling.

That is usually the trade-off: there are a lot of good cleansers that give you a deep clean feeling, but also strip your skin of moisture and leave it feeling tight.

Not so with Sigi Skin Kaleanser Face Wash. My skin was moisturized and so, so soft.

Why BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner with Stable C is Special

November 15, 2019 · 14 Comments

Maybe you saw BeautyStat on Good Morning America, or read about it in Allure, Violet Grey, Coveuteur, or WWD. And now, on StyleChicks. Because here at StyleChicks we’ve tried plenty of high-end Vitamin C topicals. But our BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner experiences got and kept our attention. What happens after using a bottle of BeautyStat? We are here to tell our BeautyStat tales. First up is Lyn, her chief skin compliant is dark spots and hyperpigmentation due to sun damage.
BeautyStat Universal Skin Refiner contains a Stable Vitamin C for superior performance

BeautyStat Universal Skin Refiner contains a Stable Vitamin C for superior performance

Lyn here. I knew right away this product was unique. I was interested to see what one bottle could accomplish. BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner is a unique stable C that doesn’t oxidize. This Vitamin C is potent and fresh to the last drop. Often with a Vitamin C serum, you don’t really know if it is working by the end of the bottle and you have to invest in a second bottle and hope for the best. But with BeautyStat, I knew.

Me and Vitamin C

Skin-obsessed and well over 35, Vitamin C serum has been part of my daily routine for years. I didn’t have a particular preferred brand, some Vitamin Cs worked better than others. I was getting along well until … dark spots appeared. Lots of them.

Out, darn (age) spot! The backstory

Sunscreen fanatic here. But somehow, I got dark spots on the top of my cheekbone, where light hits. Visually it appears as one larger-than-an-inch birthmark-like patch atop each cheekbone. They are far darker and bigger than freckles and they are not cute like freckles. They show in photos and IRL even when I spackle concealer over them. The unfortunate placement is like a permanent contour where there ought to be highlighter. It alters the visual contours of my face and makes me look drawn and older.

The dark spots defied all my standard remedies. I tried niacinamide, retinol, at home dermabrasion, dermaplaning, Vitamin K, topical Alpha Lipoic Acid, and glycolic peels at home and at a spa.

Meanwhile, I had been using Vitamin C serums entire time. So I expected nothing to change dark spot-wise from using BeautyStat. I was wrong.

My beautystat Experience

Universal C Skin Refiner is aptly named. The morning after I first used it, I noticed a skin texture refinement. It was like after an AHA peel without the peeling, dryness, or irritation.

BeautyStat won’t pill under my sunscreen or makeup. It is not greasy, sticky, or tacky.

My sensitive skin tolerates daily BeautyStat use, even around the eye area.

I apply a thin layer on my face, throat, collarbone. Then go back in dabbing extra on my dark spots, acne scars and eleven lines.

Stable C is potent. I recommend sensitive skin users buffer with a moisturizer to tolerate daily use. BeautyStat makes one that I haven’t tried, so I can’t opine on it. I used a light lotion with no actives (Cerave or Clinique DDML). I experienced no dryness or flaking even with daily use.

Just a bit spreads evenly and smoothly on my face

Results

My face has overall spot fading and skin texture improvement. But most notable is the breakdown and reduction of the very dark pigment of the collective age spots patches. Now normal pigment skin appears between the spots so it is no longer a mega spot. The spots no longer obstruct my cheekbone. The discolored spots are visible in bright sunlight, but far less so in indoor lighting.

I don’t know how long it will take to remove the dark hyperpigmentation completely. But BeautyStat made more progress in a few weeks than I got in two years with any other dark spot treatment. Bravo!

Will another bottle of BeautyStat vanquish my dark spots for good? I sure am game to find out.
