Some Unknown and Well-Known Tips on Beauty: Opening the old books?

-

Did you know that you could use mineral water as a tonic? It is cheaper and it is definitely natural!

Did you know that you can put cucumber pieces on all parts of your face, of course including eyes and be sure that it will make your skin tonic and hydrated?

Did you know that you could use the rest of your serum that you cannot finish mixing it with your face cream in a plastic or glass cup (that you do not use anymore, that is from your previous cosmetics' packaging for instance) and use it together so that you do not throw away what you had bought in the past?

Did you know that one of the best scrubs can be Turkish coffee remnants?

Did you know that you can mix just one drop of olive oil with some cane sugar, a few drops of lemon and a bit of honey and use it as a lip scrub?

Did you know that you can use old black tea bags to take the morning inflammation away from your eyes?

Did you know that most of the beauty tricks come from how you live and what you eat rather than what you put on your skin?

Did you know that if you boil the roots of the parsley and drink the water, you can get rid of the inflammation (the feeling of being swollen) in your body?

Did you know that it is better not to overcook the vegetables as they lose some of the nutritive qualities?

Did you know that you could use the remnants of half-cut lemon to soften your elbows and to lighten their colour from black back to normal?

Did you know that a few drops of apple vinegar in your water before you go to sleep can help your digestive system work better?

Did you know that you can prepare a mask with Curcuma, yoghurt, a few drops of lemon and some honey to get rid of your acnes? For more details, please see YouTuber Merve Ozkaynak... 

Did you know that you can use your expired face creams for your feet or your body depending on how expired they might be?

To be continued... (I have more beauty tricks from some people I know, will gather and translate them for you from Italian and Turkish...)

Toning Up: Toners for the Dry Skin

-

What is a toner? Toners is something that you use after you cleanse your skin, to get rid of the dirt that has remained after the day is over. It also helps remove makeup after you cleanse your skin. I used to use toners as my mom had one, we could find all the dirt and pollution on the piece of cotton going through that procedure. It was quite true that the toner was a useful piece of skincare. However, it should fit your skin: do you  have oily/dry/mixed type of skin? It matters a lot. If you have sensitive skin, you should use a very very very natural toner. Even cucumber juice would be fine. Something with less alcohol for sure would be the best for sensitive skin. The more natural ingredients there are, the better it is...  A benefit of the toner is that it minimises your skin pores, so that is great news. It cleanses, that is good news, too. It kind of prepares your skin for the moisturiser, so it is a part of the beauty and skincare routine.  Rose Water of Missha: Meditanical R

10th of December: Is it all about eyes?

I have not much to say about this product , it is quite a good one but eye creams show their effect when they are used consistently. I have used it for two days and I think it reduces wrinkles but I am not so sure about the puffs. I guess a good sleep is better than anything if we think about it. All about eyes cream of Clinique I think that I will review it after constant usage... For now, I cannot give points to this product but if I really have to give, it would be eight over ten. Well, time will show!

My Best BB Cream(s) Forever (?) Dior discontinued !

-

The first time I learnt about the BB creams, I was quite uneducated about them. I had no idea why there was such a cream, what it worked for and how it was different from the foundations, fondo tinta, and fond de teint. They are lighter than fond de teint, they are not as sticky as fond de teint and they are more creamy and hydrating in a way... well, depends on which foundations you use, too. I will tell you my first two favourites and then will suggest two other very very good ones. DIOR HYDRA LIFE BB CREAM: GOOD COVERAGE So the first one is this one, you all probably know about it: Dior Hydra Life BB cream . It is such a nice one. It looks very natural and thin on the skin. That is what I look for! It hydrates. Well, I also use sometimes hydrating cream beneath. I chose the colour beige lumière and it fits me really well. The smell is nice but I have to say that it is a bit like the cosmetical smell, something a bit chemical is sensed in it. But no bother... I love it and hav
