Healthy Life and Healthy Skin

I know that I had not written for a long while because I kind of lost the motivation to try more products and present them to you. However, I have continued on the skincare and I can give some tips on the skincare. I believe that I can rightfully give these suggestions since I noticed something about my skin in 40 days spent at home because of quarantine. I have these suggestions: 1) Eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, vegetable soups... to be more specific, eat an apple each day. Try to eat fresh fruits or salad each day. Even if it is spring, try to eat a lot of soups, made with different vegetables and tomatoes... 2) Drink a lot of water, not too much but keep a bottle of water at your desk where you work and as you take little breaks rather than coffee, try to drink water with a piece of lemon inside 3) Try to keep active. I have noticed that when I moved inside the house as I did the cleaning of the house and so on my skin got hydrated itself... the sebum was much more balan

Skin care routine from professional brands and from youtubers

How do we do our skincare? What is the order of things? Which products shall we use? How often should we do skincare? These are all questions that are answered a bit vaguely. However, I made the research for you and here are the results. MY SKINCARE  I just want to insert here my skincare and what I do. So the first and the last rule is not to overload your skin with too many products and too many applications... It is enough that you do two or three steps (cleanser, facial mist or toner and hydrating cream for eyes and the face) but could care to use good products (definition of good products: what helps your skin rather than how much it costs or how much advertisement is made about this product). However, now I will describe the situation in which I use more than three steps... So if I wash my face, first I use the cleanser of Lancome Miel en mousse . I have to say that I suggest this product before, but this product by itself, without some hydration can still cause dryness on

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

Samples and Ideas

These days I have tried a few samples from different brands. They either come with the products or they are given to you when you shop at different places. I had this wonderful shopkeeper lady in Ici Paris in Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, she would give me a lot of samples of different brands. She introduced me to really good products like that. And also she did not give just any product but what fitted my skin, or what I could have desired. So I miss her really, there was a period I went to the shop and I could not see her, so I did not shop from there for a long while. Cause I did not trust the others as much as I trusted her. To cut the long story short... The first one is the BB cream of Missha , it was really good. It smells nice, it is kind on the skin and it is good coverage. It is something that women got crazy about so I also bought the real one. Let's see, I think I will like it. Missha BB cream - 29 USD The photo is taken from the website Another sample I have

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

Masks as Promised: The first Round with Five Masks

HQ Face Mask  HQ Mask with seaweed This one is really hydrating, it smells light but still perfumy. You can live it on or rinse it with water. I left it on after I took away the residues. It is called 'intensive moisturizing mask with seaweed' . I have felt that it has really hydrated my skin. Happy with the experience. Need to remind you that I do not buy each mask, I just buy the ones that have hydrating qualities for dry skin. Too cool for School - Hydrating Mask with Coconut Too cool for school ceramide mask It is very refreshing and hydrating but the holes for the eyes are so small that it bothered my eyes a bit. I am a kind of uncomfortable person even in comfortable situations and even when pampering myself. So I was not super happy with this tight cut for the eyes and the mouth. Other than that, it was a nice coconut smell, it was hydrating and can feel the effect even after I took off the mask. Good experience, like it! It has so many masks th
