In Her Element Rose Radiant Moisturizer

At this point in my life, I have come to accept that I am becoming a creature of habit. When I find a product I really, really like, I am more inclined to repurchase rather than replace it with something else. Unfortunately, you can’t control discontinuations by the brand that forces you to move on. *shrugs* And that was the case with trying the In Her Element Rose Radiant Moisturizer (PHP 695 / 30 g) after being such a fan of the brand’s Rose Gel Serum Moisturizer.

In Her Element Low pH Rose Radiant Cleanser

Back in my teens, the facial cleanser was THE skincare product I was most game to hoard. The rationale was that I would use it 2-3 times a day anyway, so it would run out fast and I would be able to try so many brands. But as my skin started to settle down and beauty tech advanced further, I realized that cleanser formulas varied greatly. It’s not just about the foaming action and scent anymore. You have to consider pH levels and general skin compatibility, in addition to the ingredients list.

So next up for me is the In Her Element Low pH Rose Radiant Cleanser (P495 / 112 ml) which, from the name alone, already ticks one of the boxes.

In Her Element Cocoa Lip Balm

My love for a good lip balm has not waned, even during the pandemic. I regularly put them on before bed, so my going-out habits haven’t affected my usage. (Next to moisturizer, this is probably the beauty product I use up the most these days…) And for all my years trying different formulas, this latest one I got has exceeded expectations. Say hello to the new version of the In Her Element Cocoa Lip Balm (PHP 185 / 5 g).

Quick Specs: made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit (Vanilla) Oil, Choco Vanilla Oil

In Her Element Masknegel Spot Treatment

For the most part, I have embraced being a shut-in. Online shopping and work-from-home conditions make things easier. But on the odd errand, I don’t exactly look forward to the maskne that I just know is going to show up the next day. It happens, even when my face is squeaky clean before donning a mask or even though I’ve only had the mask on for an hour.

I am glad, however, that some beauty brands are quick to get with the program. Let’s discuss the In Her Element Maskne Gel (P445 for 10ml).

Quick Specs: made in the Philippines

Ingredients: (Aqua, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Guar, Madecassoside), Ethyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree Oil)

In Her Element Nourishing Cocoa Balm

Lip balms are probably the most underrated members of my skincare collection. As far back as 2013, I have shared on this blog my dependence on lip balms for keeping the flakes at bay. And I’ll confess to having at least 5 on rotation at any given time. *facepalm* But I digress. The latest one I’ve tried and introduced to my lip care regulars is the In Her Element Nourishing Cocoa Balm (PHP 185).
