Daily Skin Care + German 25-02-2019


CHOCOLATE today. Shame on me, but I simply cannot resist Kinder Bueno!!!!!

Morning routine: Innisfree Green Tea foam cleanser; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost eye and concentrate; Alga Maris Crème Solaire SPF 50 Visage UVA and UVB from Laboratoires de Biarritz (Bio & Ecocert); SO Bio Etic BB cream(Bio & Ecocert) and the usual make up.

Night routine: Nuxe cleansing oil; OLD FORMULA Logona Klärende Reinigungsschaum; Cattier Pink clay MASK, The Body Shop Tea Tree oil; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost oil balm night.

The spot seems a bit smaller, but I see something else coming along also on my right cheek, but it might be hormonal.
I also have been felling my face a bit dry at night, after I wash it. It starts to pull as soon as it gets dry and needs the moisturiser straight away, though I let the tea tree oil sink in and dry a little before piling up the Nuxe oil balm. I did notice it feeling dryer when I started using the Innisfree Green Tea foam. At this point I’m not so sure what should I do.

German lessons keep getting more difficult and I brought 2 books from the library at the Goethe-Institut in Lisbon. One is still from level A2 “Till Eulenspiegel”, and the other B1 “Tatort: Krankenhaus”. By the way, does anyone love the German TV series “Tatort”, like I do? Learning German can be such a nice excuse to watch good TV!

ISDIN Fusion Water SPF 50+ Review and thoughts

Imagem
Definitely my favourite sunscreen to date. I’ve tried an array of products over the years and this is the 2 nd that left a very good impression. The first one, by the way, was The Body Shop’s sunscreen for the body that existed over 15 years ago, when I was still a teenager. The reason: after my usual beach period in the summer, not forgetting I was a stupid teenager that didn’t care about the sun that much, I was the exact same colour as before. No bikini marks anywhere and no tan! Most people like to tan, but I like to enjoy the beach without tanning. I cannot say for sure that the ISDIN Fusion Water does the same, because as soon as the sun starts warming up in Spring, I either wear hats (if you see someone wearing a hat on the street it’s probably me, nobody else wears them) or hide in the shade. What makes me love this sunscreen is it’s velvet touch and light formula . It really mattifies the skin even when wearing foundation. Actually, your foundation would have to be m...

Sunscreen talk

The more you read, the more you research, the more confused you get. That’s how I feel, anyway. Sunscreen is such a complicated science , I think it should be a subject on it’s own available to everybody at school, from a very early age. There are, and will always be, different opinions and for those of us that didn’t go to medical school, it becomes a very big problem. Are they stable, are they safe, are we applying the right amount of product, are we cancelling out SPfs by using other products or even spreading it properly all over the exposed areas, or applying it frequently enough? After many reading and video watching, both always bearing doctor’s opinions, my only conclusion is that most of us are doing it wrong and will continue to do so. "How is it that in the 30s there was 1 in melanoma case in 1,500 people and nowadays there is 1 case in 50" (I think I got the data right, refer to this video on Caroline Hirons youtube channel, her advices and videos have been su...

Pixi Order arrival and daily ramblings 23th May 2019

I received my order from LookFantastic, that I paid with my own money, yesterday! Two Pixi products: Glow Mud Cleanser and the H2O Skin Drink . Of course I used the cleanser yesterday, instead of the Innisfree one. It was a complete different, and still is, experience for me: it doesn’t foam. For me it’s something new, don’t’judge! I’ve always used foam cleansers, without the harsh foaming ingredient SLS, but they still foam up. This does not and it will take some time for me to get used to that fact, it feels as if it’s not doing the job properly. Yet, I used it again this morning and evening. And the glow tonic after. Although while applying the tonic it did sting a bit, it’s been almost an hour and no more stinging or itchiness came about, like the other three times. I’m happy! Next it’s the Caudalie Vino Perfect Serum. However, yesterday night, after cleansing my face, I noticed a small red spot close my nose, on my right cheek. It was there this morning and I used the Vichy...
