HOME MADE DEO: Which are the wonders of coconut oil?

I have thought about this one. A friend of mine suggested me to do my own deo at home. How could it be possible? She said it was very easy and so she described. The description is similar to this one: Ingredients 6 Tablespoons coconut oil 4 Tablespoons baking soda 4 Tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch Essential oils (optional) I think as the next thing, I will try this coconut deodorant that is super easy. It does not contain any kind of unnatural stuff such as sls, paraben, silicone... so that is great news as well. It does not have many costs, that is great for the budget.  Have you ever tried to do your own? Does it function? Let me know.

How to make natural cosmetics at home

Here is how I have made my own exfoliator, mask and tonic.  The exfoliator (the brown one) has cacao, coffee, yoghurt, a bit of lemon, honey and a bit of sugar in it.  The mask (the yellow one) has yoghurt, the residues of a cucumber when I made the juice (I did not throw them away but used them for the mask), honey, Curcuma, a bit of lemon.   The tonic is basically the cucumber juice. If you want you can add a drop of lemon inside. If you think that would disrupt your skin, do not do that.  I have put them in the fridge, tried all of them one day after or after I had kept them in the fridge for a while. Especially the mask and the tonic are great to use! It is super hydrating for dry skin. The coffee exfoliator wakes you up in the morning! Moreover, it is without any preservatives, any conservatives... So that is the great part! And the colours are great, too! 

Belif: A brand that surprised me!

So, okay, I am a consumerist. Otherwise, I would not have done this blog, right? How do you know I am a consumerist? -I am caught by advertisements -I go out to buy something and buy something that I do not need -I always buy things before they finish -I am attracted to all the new things that come out... brands, trends, fashion, etc. Yes, so that is how I discovered Belif . Just bought a small sample where there was hydration cream, eye cream, a mask, and a serum altogether. They were quite small. Hence, I took them with me when I had to travel for one month. Still, remember that it was a bit expensive but wanted to try it. I did not regret it, except for one thing that I will tell you soon. It is good! It is really good, just do not like the smell. It smells to chemical but it works. Well, I want to know more about the ingredients of Belif. So the ones that I used were these: so there is this serum  Hungarian Water Essence  so there is this moisturiser Acqua Bomb t

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
