Five Products for Dry Skin and Dry Lips

Image
I have used a lot during the days we were closed at home, more than makeup products, the skincare products.  Here, I will write to you about five products that I found really nice during this time, useful, hydrating, and with a quite natural texture. A Good Hydrating Cream The first one is a hydrating cream that I started using recently, named the Origins  ultra-hydrating energy-boosting cream. This cream was bought by me maybe one year ago and I started using it now. It was there waiting in my drawer. I was relieved when I read that most of the Origins products are vegetarian and vegan. This cream smells like oranges, it has caffeine and ginseng inside.  It hydrates the skin really well, it refreshes, too. It was 25 euros when I bought it I remember, so it is not super expensive for a medium budget. I like this cream a lot and suggest it, dry skinners, with only one condition: you might need to reuse it during the day. I am going through a period of the month where my skin is more

Three Masks and Three Toners

Image
This week I have tried three masks, well actually, Belif was one of those that I tried before. I will start with Belif... Then I will talk about the Repertoire and Re-charge of Clarins. In the second part, I will be talking about three toners: Garnier Rose, Pixi Rose, and Yves Rocher's new toner. MASKS Belif acqua bomb mask was great. You can just apply it to your skin and then take the access. On the website, it says that this mask is good against dryness, dullness, and redness. It is great for dry skin. So I do suggest it, it did not cause any irritation on my skin. Moreover, it smells like lemon, a bit of chemical, too, I admit. However, in general, it does not cause great trouble. In Sephora it says it is 34 USD, to be honest, I have not bought the whole thing, I just had the sample. I will not buy the whole mask but I can still continue to use samples. taken from Sephora's website Belif acqua bomb mask  The second mask I tried was a sample of Repertoire wit

Staying at Home and Taking Care of Yourself

Image
As we are stuck at home I would like to talk about a few rituals that we all do or at least try to do. I have a couple of suggestions on how to take care of yourself, your environment, and also the products that you are using. Now that we are at home, working or studying, or just being unemployed there are more chances to organize our stuff. I have checked all the cosmetics I have (mostly I have hydrating creams and lipsticks as you will see from the first two blog writings I have ). After having done a bit of these myself, I kindly suggest to do these things when you are stuck home: 1) Check what you have and what you do not need to buy. 2) Check the expiry date and prepare the ones that you will use next according to the dates. 3) Now that you are home, do your skincare every day: cleansing, using toner, hydrating... Try different masks that you have at home to see which one fits your skin the best. 4) Even if you see people just on skype or what'sup, try to make it pos

Four More Masks: Belif, Garnier, Kenzo and Clinians

Belif Moisturising Bomb Sheet Mask Great mask, really happy with it. Super hydrating. It is refreshing. I did not use a hydrating cream afterward and the effect lasted really long. Suggest it! One thing I am not so happy with this mask is the smell, the smell is like lemon but also there is a chemical hint to it. If they can resolve this dilemma, then it would not only be much better but it would be perfect! Garnier Mask with Hyaluron Shot  This mask is amazing! So hydrating, made my skin softer. I can really not complain. Just a bit impatient to wait for 15 minutes but imagining that my skin would not react well I always wait for 10 or 12 minutes. Cause afterward I start to get bored. Great job Garnier! I suggest it. It seems that Beauty crew also gave it a lot of stars. Clinians Gold Mask  This mask was a bit disappointing, it was supposed to be with gold, but more than substance I felt a soft plastic against my skin. Do we really think about the environmen

21 December 2019: Moisture surge overnight mask of Clinique

Image
I tried Moisture surge overnight mask of Clinique , yesterday night, although I should have tried it before. It is okay, it hydrates the skin but leaves the pores open. In the morning I felt that my pores were quite larger compared to the night where I had used the mask. If it is a good thing or not I should ask the skincare experts but I think that compared to a hydrating cream, it does not have an extra benefit. Even if it did, would I have understood it with one use? I guess not. So I give six over ten to this product. Clinique moisture surge overnight mask

19 December 2019: Cleanser Mousse

Image
This time I did not use the product of 18th of December so I cannot evaluate it, I will come back to that one later. Today I will evaluate this mousse cleanser of Clinique: mousse face wash.  In other words, rinse-off foaming cleanser. Was happy with it for two reasons: it cleans well and it does not harm the skin. But, again a big but, for dry skin it is a bit too much maybe, you know when your skin makes the sound of a surface when you touch it; so yes for dry skin it might be too much, so you might, in fact, prefer it if you have oily skin. Still a good product, I give 7,5 to it! RINSE OFF FOAMING CLEANSER MOUSSE

14th of December: Tonic of Clinique

Image
My mom used to use tonic in order to make the skin cleaner and tighter. I remember whenever we used it, the cotton pad would be full of dirt from the pollution. This was almost 20 years ago and I cannot imagine the pollution now... I like the toners honestly. Just that I need to find something that does not dry the skin. I think that the clarifying lotion of Clarins is quite successful as it does not irritate the skin. It is gentle on the skin and it cleans the skin. I am not sure if my pores are tighter but I have to be honest that my skin was a bit dry the next day. I still can give eight to this product as it did not cause any disturbance on my skin. And my skin felt refreshed after the use. I would still not say, I want to have this product for sure! Maybe something milder would be better.

Sprays and Mists for Sensitive Skin

Image
Hello Again, Once more I have four suggestions for sprays. They are all different, they have different functions, but they are all good for sensitive and dry skin. The one I like the most is the last one of Clarins "refresh" . It smells like flowers, roses and lavender. I really liked it a lot. It has a function of hydrating a lot, and I mostly use it before I go to bed sometimes even without putting on the night cream. My number one is this! The second one I liked a lot but it has lost its smell after six months was Kiko spray... ( Green me hydrating face mist ). This one is supernatural, it smells like grass, its consistency is almost white and I think it functions in hydrating the skin. The third one I suggest to you is the one I finished already and bought a new package as stock in my cosmetics shop, in our little house. So basically, this one is one of the best known from Avene , the spray with minerals for dry skin... Acqua Termale Avenè Spray ... I know
