Recently I was in the market for a cruelty free, paraben-free skin care system that actually works well for my skin type. I've used several of these products in the past but none of them truly did wonders for my skin type. I have oily combination skin and am prone to break outs during that certain time of month which is totally annoying as some of you can relate. I typically shop for natural beauty products at Whole Foods Market because they have such a huge selection of top notch products. There I found the Alba Advanced skincare line which is priced amazingly affordable for it's quality. I purchased the Sea Mineral Cleansing Gel ($10) a hypoallergenic face wash, which turned out to be a perfect match for my skin type. I especially love how this product is gentle enough for my sensitive skin, yet effective enough to wash makeup off without leaving residue behind. Along with the Sea Mineral Cleansing Gel I purchased the  Sea Kelp Facial Toner ($10) and the Deep Sea Facial Mask ($10). For the past month I've been  using the toner twice each day after cleansing and the mask only once a week and I haven't had a single breakout since. I am looking forward to purchasing more of the Alba Advanced products and highly recommend them to people with a similar skin type. They're affordable, paraben-free, hypoallergenic and they do not test on animals, now that sounds like a winner to me!
