Face off

One of the many struggles of being a girl is not only which products to use, but what brand. I personally struggle with this whenever I go to the drugstore to pick up a new shampoo or foundation. I rarely go into this type of situation without doing my research, for example reading reviews on the product online or watching videos from my trusted beauty vloggers on youtube.
Shannon is one of my favorite bloggers to watch. https://www.youtube.com/user/shaaanxo. She has a YouTube channel (like many other girls) that is devoted specifically to product reviews, hauls, and makeup tutorials. She is one of my go to's when I need a review on a product I'm looking into to buy because she stays up to date on brands with new products coming out.
Today I'm doing my own review, where I'm taking two of my favorite and most trusted face products and putting them head to head in a comparison show down.
The topic today is moisturizer, and were going to be comparing Clean and Clear's Advantage Acne Control moisturizer (my winter favorite) with Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer (my summer favorite.)
What I love about C & C is that they have products that are oil free, and devoted a special line to help treat and prevent acne. This product feels good on the skin and doesn't leave you feeling oily like some moisturizers do. But it also doesn't leave my skin feeling tight, however if you have just washed or exfoliated your face, it can take a few extra pumps (especially in the winter time) to get your face fully hydrated. They also only sell this product in a $ oz. bottle, which I go through in less than 2 months. I wish they sold a larger size.
Next, Aveeno has a good product for summertime because they actually joined your daily moisturizer with sunscreen to help protect you from the harmful rays. It has SPF 30, which is pretty high for a daily use product. This is good and bad because while it can help you prevent sunburn, it will make your face appear whiter in pictures because if how it reflects a flash. This product can also make your skin feel oily and shiny, so it works best for people who tend to get dryness even in humidity. I take this product with me to the beach and pool and use it on my face as well as my body.
Both products have their ups and downs but I would say Clean and Clear is My favorite go to product for daily use.
