Beauty Tips For Body Care
Guaiazulene (also called just azulene, I believe) is a derivative from chamomile. Like blue tansy, it’s a calming and anti-inflammatory ingredient, plus its blue!So, my question: I have rosacea and am planning to start tretinoin soon, so I’ve been thinking of adding a serum or facial oil with blue tansy in it for the comforting and calming properties. Basically, I found three options: - Buy Herbivore’s Lapis oil or Sunday Riley Luna oil (very pricey and I’m slightly concerned about Herbivore’s lack of preservatives - though I guess that shouldn’t be too much of an issue with an oil) - Buy Acure’s blue tansy oil (much cheaper, but recent reviews suggest the re-formulation has made it less suitable) - DIY my own facial oil with up to 4% blue tansy oil (reputable sources of genuine blue tansy oil are apparently difficult to find, plus it’s a fairly high upfront cost)Nothing ideal so far. But then I found the Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drops, which don’t contain blue tansy but does contain guaiazulene. They’re cheaper than the Herbivore or Sunday Riley or the upfront costs of DIY, they’re well-reviewed, I like other Dear Klairs products so I trust they’ll be good, and there’s a Midnight Blue cream in the line as well that looks promising. Seems like a no brainer, but I guess if the guaiazulene isn’t as calming/healing as claimed, then it’s a false economy.I know that blue tansy has been kind of a trendy ingredient for a few years now, but I’m just wondering how much of a difference it actually makes. Blue tansy is a type of chamomile, after all, so it’s not entirely surprisingly that products with either ingredient are advertised as having similar properties. I’m curious to know what you think!
