To wait and to write and to wait and to write

Dear Readers, I am planning to prepare really well-written content in order to give you more information on the quality of the things that we are using... However, this will take time. Basically, I have slowed down my consumption slightly and it means that first of all, I need to finish the products that I have. One of the main reasons for this is that I have another job now and need to focus on it. The other reason is that I feel that I am spending too much on cosmetics and I am using too much plastic. Both of these habits need to change if I want to grow up as a person, not only as a woman. So I decided to slow down, write more detailed, interesting, original good quality stuff rather than introduce you to everything that I had used in the past... I have seen that natural products gain great attention, which is good news. This means that we are super super hungry for nature. And that is the way to go! Nothing beats the cucumber tonic that you make at home and that you

How to make natural cosmetics at home

Image
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! 

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

Beauty Tips from Blogs and Youtubers: Only Homemade Natural Ingredients

I have decided to make a thorough research of the beauty tips for you. It seems that it will take long writing this time, but I will start and give you the nicest ideas on beauty categorised for the dry skin and skincare in general. They will all consist of natural ingredients that you cook with and that you can find at home. CUCUMBER: YOU SHOULD HAVE IT AT HOME The one I like the most is the skincare by Merve Ozkaynak.  She, first of all, washes her face with water that contains honey and lemon, uses this one serves as a firsthand cleanser. You can feel the freshness when you do that, I tried this one as well. It was quite nice. The second step is the peeling that she made with rice and carrots, so it becomes blended in the frullatore, the blender. I am not sure if this one is good for dry skin, but it is definitely to be tried by oily skin and mixed skin types. The third step is that she uses cucumber water as a tonic and also to clean the remnants of the rice and carr

The Beauty Tips from "Aver Cura di Sé"

Here in this blog, I have a really major ambition to give you all the natural tips on beauty. After having done major research on Italian, Turkish and English resources, I have come up with some detailed answers, and I will be giving links and references to the resources. This will be a long but sustainable blog, so bear with me! So let us start with Diego Dalla Palma : since this blog focusses on the dry skinners, first of all, I will write his suggestions for who has dry skin (the pages that I have translated from his book are 37, 38 and 39): 1. Clean your skin once or twice a day with a very oily soap; the ones that contain glycerin and that are transparent for instance. It is always preferable to have a soap that is not soap or creamy cleanser... 2. Coconut oil or almond oil is one of the best cleansers for the dry skin. 3. The tonic that is most adapted to the dry skin is the one that is non-alcoholic one. As an alternative, you can prepare camomile tea and use the camom
