Sharing with you guys my experience with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender. Unfortunately, it’s a “No” for me. I felt a bit sad when I concluded that this was the culprit behind my blemishes because I enjoy Lavender – as a color, flower, tea and scent.

I started to develop small bumps all over my forehead back in July. It was about the time when I started incorporating this facial spray into my routine. I initially though that I was reacting to the the shampoo I was using since the blemishes were near my “hair line”. I switched to a gentler, hypoallergenic shampoo because of that – but it was still there. I also thought that my skin was reacting to the salt in the air because I am currently living near the shore.

My next step was to change my toner – because at that time, my fave toner was not in production because of the pandemic. In it’s place, I used the Alcohol-Free Face Toner from Neutrogena. When I switched back to my fave Toner – VMV Hypollergenic’s Superskin 2 Monolaurin + Mandelic Acid Toner for Combination Skin, I still had the tiny raised bumps on my forehead AND I was starting to get acne.

I then decided to switch to a mattifying toner because I thought that, since I am living by the sea and the weather was very hot and humid, I was getting oilier than usual. I started using VMV Hypoallergenic’s Fine Finish Pore-celain Effect Mattifier for Oily Skin.

My acne, blemishes, raised bumps and black heads were still there.

I was quite worried, confused and exasperated already – especially when I got cast for a commercial and my skin was not at it’s best. You can actually see my blemishes or me covering my blemishes in some of my most recent vlogs – especially on my brush series for the month of September.

I was not suspicious of the Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender because “it was just water”. It was only when I eliminated it from my skin care routine I found it to be the culprit.

On a lighter note, My fave Chamomile and Lavender tea blends are from the companies Bigelow Benefits and Celestial Seasonings. I drink a cup after a long and grueling day at work or when I have an upset stomach or when I have a headache. This tea combination really helps me relax by stabilizes my mood and it helps me sleep soundly.
