Daily ramblings 20th May 2019


Early morning was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky and quite warm. It all changed near noon. Cold, clouds, wind, all in all very unpleasant. However I did manage to wear a dress and walk around my legs “naked”. Middle of the afternoon and it’s so-so, but the wind doesn’t want to leave us.

Yesterday, Sunday, my skin did rest at night. No retinol, no acid. Just the Caudalie Vino Perfect serum and the Nuxellence eye cream. My skin thanked me, but my mind decided it should be another sleepless night. Thank you very much!

I did use the “proper” amount of sunscreen today, but without any powder, just a blush. It didn’t become oily or overly shiny. Towards the end of the week the temperatures should rise and I am curious to see what will happen with this much sunscreen on very hot days. Now I’m going to wash my face and apply the Triacneal. My face has been stinging slightly for a couple of hours now, but I’m not going to give up on the Glow Tonic just yet.

Sleep will probably evade again tonight and if that happens swim practice will be out of the table, which isn’t good since it’s been two entire weeks of hiatus already. Going for a third one is not a good option, not to mention the teacher hates it!

Bis bald!

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...

It stings! Daily ramblings 21th May 2019

It stings! My face feels really smooth, but it stings. It’s the third time I’ve used the Pixi Glow Tonic. And the Pixi Peel&Polish was used in the morning. Interestingly enough, my face doesn’t feel smooth or soft after the Peel&Polish. It doesn’t sting, though… Complicated situation. What should one do? For the time being these will continue to be part of my routine as follows: Glow Tonic on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at night time; and the Peel&Polish mornings twice a week , but it needs adjustment regarding which days exactly. This now needs to be topped of with the Caudalie Vino Perfect serum, to moisturise and calm. Today was not a good day for me. There’s this disgusting, rude and vulgar man that keeps throwing himself at me every time he sees me, even when my grandparents are right there next to me! I felt so nauseated, I could barely eat lunch. And now I just want to think about anything else, since bedtime is approaching. Now that I’ve had a good ...

Avène TriAcnéal Expert and rambling

Sehr warm heute! I’m starting to think that some of the red spots that have been appearing lately have more to do with allergies and stress. When I’m too stressed, I tend to get allergic reactions. They are itchy and don’t feel like regular pimples. I’ve been doing the usual: v   Avène TriAcnéal Expert – 3 nights a week: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays v   Pixi Glow Tonic – 4 nights a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays v   Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser has been used every single day and night, for over a week v   Pixi Peel&Polish - two mornings: Tuesday and Saturday Of course sunscreen is used daily. I haven’t noticed anything different yet, except for the occasional red spots that have yet to be understood. But again, the stress and lack of good sleep, could be one of the causes. I’m really curious to try the Retinol Tonic, though, and see what it can do. In the meantime, I’ve grown accustomed to “no lather” Mud cleanser and quite lik...
