Conclusions about Natural skincare


No, things aren’t going that well!
I was so excited to try out all natural and good products, but it seems my skin doesn’t really like them. Or my nose. I do blame my skin, because my mind was set on doing the right thing for myself and the environment. Unfortunately sheer willpower doesn’t control how your skin reacts to the products, how it feels when you apply them, nor can it control when the fragrance is so strong that you might faint. No matter how many times you wash your hands.
I have tried a few different ones, amounting to a very ridiculous percentage of existing products, I understand that, but since in my case I need to order most of them online and there is no way for me to try them out before buying a full size product, meaning it´s a waste of money and product. I have no one to give them to, afterwards. Most ones were not moisturizing at all, many had very strong scents that made feel nauseous and some others were very drying. I know it takes time to adjust a new skincare routine, but for me personally, it was becoming to expensive and wasteful. There is nothing I hate more than to throw away an almost intact product, even when it hurts my skin!
So that means I returned to my pharmacy products., which had to be bought anew… slowly, since money doesn’t grow on trees. I got the Caudalie Vinoperfect serum, that brings a 25ml sunscreen SPF 50 as a gift. They have a new formula that doesn’t hut people or the ocean. Let’s just wait and see what it does to my dark spots and uneven skin tone. Does moisturize, my skin, well enough. The Avène Triacnèal has also made a comeback into my routine, three days a week.
It’s already a bit late and I want to wake up early tomorrow for my power walk downtown, so describing my new routine will be done on another day, but everything is written down on my paper diary. Practicing the “passive”, it’s what we’re studying in German.

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...
