Because I have combination skin, I've been looking for products that would help keep oil (sebum) under control without drying the skin. That's how I came across The Body Shop's Seaweed Line. I looked into other products but I found them either beyond my budget, or too strong for my aging skin.
I've been a fan of The Body Shop but mainly for their bath and body products, not for facial skin care. I have recently come to the resolve that my Asian skin should use Asian products because they're what works. But since seaweed is an ingredient which was first used in Asian skin care, I figured products The Body Shop's Seaweed Line would be worth a try.
According to their website,
Designed for combination skin, our seaweed helps to restore balance and control excess oil to help give you a shine-free, matte finish.Having read that, I watched out for the soonest sale event and I got the Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash and the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. I was tempted to get the trial/travel pack but I opted to get the regular sizes for these two products since they're the ones that I need most. Besides, I can test the claims better by using a combination of at least two products in the skin care line rather than just one.
