LIP BALMS: DO YOU HAVE DRY LIPS?

Image
In this post, I will suggest seven to eight lip balms and I will list them according to my preferences. Before I have talked about hand creams and more hydration . Please see those posts as well. So the first one is my favourite one for sure, that is L'occitane lip balm . This repairs and hydrates. It has a very light smell and I use it before night, I suggest it to everyone... The photo is taken from their website This one is definitely my favourite. It costs 8.5 euros as it says on the website. There is one that is really economic with Aloe vera from Equilibra . I have probably told before that I like the brand Equilibra. It is 4.92 US dollars as it seems on amazon.com. The thing I like about this lip balm is that it repairs the lips, it does not let them dry and it is very light textured. Another one that I have almost finished this winter and autumn was Yves Rocher Coconut lip balm , this one is great, too. It feels very coconut oily like... it feels natura

In this blog, I will tell you all the products I love the most, that are economic or expensive, that are from known brands or unknown brands, those that are colourful or nude... but those things that you will never regret having.

Foot-works: what works and what does not?

Not only having sensitive and dry skin but having dry heels, such lucky genes! There is though a solution to that for sure. You'd better take care of your feet which carry your whole weight whole day, that let you discover the world, that allow you to wear beautiful shoes, boots and slippers! Well, to cut the long story short, there might also be natural treatments to dry heels, and will look for them for you. However, before that, I would really like to use some of the knowledge I have about a couple of products.  Let's start with the creams for the feet. There are four suggestions on my side... I will tell you which one worked as much as I expected it to work.  First one is Kiko intensive foot cream . This cream is good for daily use. I use it before I go to bed, and wear my socks afterwards. I expect that at night the cream does all the work. Thought that it would not be efficient but it is quite good. However, I was using it with other creams so could not obser

WHAT TO DO: We will use these CLEANSERS if we have dry skin!

I have experienced and suffered for you! Now here are some ideas on make-up cleansers! I hear you are saying, "you know it all!" I tell ya "yes, I do know somethings and will share it with you". And you hear me well! Have tried so many cleansers. Will categorise them as creams and as the gels that you clean and use with water... So let us start for the best ones with cream and one with oil... If you have dry skin you need to be careful not to tire your skin too much and the products shall be skiing on your face, like buttermilk. The first one is  Mixa ... This product is quite soft on the skin, I cannot say that it cleans perfectly but it does 90 per cent of the job. And it has a very soft smell, does not smell too much of cosmetics although it is cosmetics... it is hard to get I admit, however, I have seen many Mixa products on amazon for instance. The second one is the Turkish one as I am Turkish, this has been always one of the favourites of mo

HYDRATING CREAMS AND A LONG HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE: LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DRY SKIN

Avène Optimale From the age of 19 till the age of 30 almost I used  Avene Hydrance Optimale   hydrating cream ( Hydrance OPTIMALE Légère ) .  It was suggested by a skin doctor who was a friend of my mother. I am thankful to her up to this day. I was using a little bit of it applying it to the whole of my face day and night, and it was enough for a long while. At the age of 30 or so I started to notice some changes on my skin, it can be even the age of 29, but something has changed. Hence, Avene Optimale was not enough, so I had to try so many different products after that. Clarins Daily Energizer Cream Although it is a very good cream and it keeps the skin quite hydrated, hydration does not last long and it has a very cosmetic smell, especially after having used Avene it is felt even more. Although I can suggest it to someone with less dry skin or someone with oily skin maybe… from my point of view,  Clarins  daily energizer did not work. Bes
