If we just keep some rules in mind and follow them we can diminish the apparition of pimples and win the war against acne. So here are some steps that helped me in those situations and I hope to be helpful for you too.

  • Don’t sleep with your makeup on! It’s essential that your skin is perfectly clean during the night. You can use a makeup remover product that also has antibacterial action, morning and evening.

My recommendation: Try the Solutions Plus Pure Pore – Fection Self – Foaming Cleanser from Avon ( 150 ml) with bamboos and bisabolol extracts. It’s an oil-free product that will give you a tingly clean feeling. Cleanses deep down to remove dirt and make-up, leaving skin feeling refreshed and energised.

  • Clean the pores! For this you will need a mask specially created to reduce and prevent the apparition of pimples and dark spots.

My recommendation: Use twice a week, Clinique Oil-Control Cleansing Mask (19,50 $ for 100 ml), the new acne solution. This clay-based mask will help heal your blemishes, prevent breakouts and also will keep your skin shine-free. This is a good mask to use even for those ladies who don’t have acne problems but have an oily skin like mine, because its medicated formula gives your skin a deep clean, unclog  pores and rid skin of excess oil. Anyway it’s a mask designed for all skin types so it can’t have undesirable effects on your skin. All the process takes me about 7 minutes, while I apply the mask evenly on my face ( avoiding the eye area), then I wait 5 minutes and after I rinse off thoroughly with warm water. My skin feels smoother and clearer after this. I also like it because it has an oil-free formula and it won’t irritate my skin.

Review – La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex-SPF15 (skincare program)

In this hot summer day I just remembered about Christmas. I could trade almost anything now for a couple of hours in the Christmas Day. I have to admit that in the last few days temperatures reached +40 degrees Celsius and as much as I love sun, tanned skin, summer clothes and spirit of seaside vacations,  I’m not a fan of these high temperatures. But this is not the only reason why I want to turn back time.  The main reason is the gift received on Christmas Day (La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15) which I just finished few days ago.

I received many great gifts among the years but this one is by far the most appreciated and useful one.  It came like a rescue for my eye’s skin area, because I was searching to replace my Clinique all about eyes soin total regard et contour which I was using for almost a year.  I was dreaming about La Prairie since autumn, after hearing and reading all the great results that other women experienced, but I never think of it as a Christmas present to me. I have to admit that its price is kind of expensive, around 100 Eur on EBay and even more in beauty shops, but trust me its completely justified.

The radiance – making massage

massage face 142x150 The radiance   making massageIf you have a night with a big event, a cocktail party or just an important date you want to look your very best. So how about a  20 – minute facial treatment using a lot of massage techniques for lymphatic drainage?

How to do it:

  1. Warm your facial oil or cleanser in the palm of your hands. Pat the product on to your face and neck.
  2. Start in the centre of your forehead and, using medium – pressure circular movements, work your fingers out towards your temples.
  3. Then start at your nose and work outwards along your cheeks.
  4. Finish by splitting your index and middle fingers into an open “scissor” and sweep along your upper and lower lip, down across your chin to your jaw line and down the sides of your neck to your collarbone.
  5. To de-puff eyes, apply your eye serum on to your index, middle and ring fingers and sweep from the inner to outer corner, over your brow bone and down the inside bridge of your nose. Do both eyes in circular motions, keeping product a safe distance from your eyes. Repeat three times.
  6. Ensure you do this massage for 30 seconds morning and night and your skintone and texture will improve.

Preview: La Prairie dermo caviar

I know I haven’t been such a good girl this year but Santa still got me a Christmas gift, and I was quite surprised to see that was exactly what I desired but never dared to hope.

I received the Dermo Caviar skin cream from La Prairie. I’ve heard many good things about the products from this brand but I also know they are quite expensive. If it wasn’t for Santa I probably could never spent so much money on a cream. The gift was ordered from ebay so as you can see from the photos the box is not in so good shape but the content is intact. Along with the skin caviar cream I also received 60 dermo caviar applicators.

Dry and dull hair? Try a hydration treatment

889 hair style 112x150 Dry and dull hair? Try a hydration treatmentEverything is perfect, until you see that your hair is no longer silky and shiny like it was used to be, but dry and dull.

Why?

Among the genetic factors and external aggression ( frequent hair dying, to powerful hair dryer) another causes would be daily exposure in the sun without adequate protection and salty sea water that had affected your hairs.

Does our eyes need special treatment?

1087 eyes 112x150 Does our eyes need special treatment?Yes! Definitely yes! Look carefully, deep into your eyes, and tell me: what do you see?

An ultra-delicate skin which looks like thin paper? I think it’s time to learn to take care of it! The skin around our eyes it’s between 5 and 10 times more thinner than the rest of our face skin. In the same time, it’s also the less irrigated because the blood and lymphatic vessels are more fragile and fewer. Unlike the body skin, nose or chin, the skin around the eye does not have sebaceous glands, which gives a dry tide.

Smoking, coffee, cold, wind, unmakeup , excessive exposing in the sun and loosing nights are some of the negative factors that affects the teguments around the eyes. So not only that the skin around the eyes is much more delicate, but we spend our whole life sensitising even more. As a result, it’s the firs area that shows ageing effects. This appears not only as wrinkles and thin lines, but also as bumps and dark circles that we need to treat them adequately.
