Honey Face Mask

Here I have a quick recipe for skin care all made with things you can find in your kitchen! Are you interested yet?  Keep on reading!

I’m going to share with you this easy natural recipe for face scrub which I love and do very often (actually once a week!). I think it works great for me and I hope it works great for you too!

It’s one of those awesome Granny’s wisdom things to keep our skin healthy and good looking! So I think most of you happen to already know this, but if you don’t I sincerely encourage you to try it! It makes skin smother and clearer and... glowing!   It takes honey, sugar and oat flakes. Remember it is for skin care, not for eating ;)

You will need:

• a teaspoon of white sugar
• a teaspoon of oat flakes
• a coffee spoon of honey

First mix sugar and honey, mix it until it became hmm… pasty! Lol! Then add oat flakes. Mix it well! Then with your hands previous cleaned (<-That’s sooo important!) spread it all over the face and neck covering it gently. I often stay with it a little while letting it dry up a bit, like 5-10minutes before beginning the actual scrubbing. Then scrub for another 3 minutes. Scrub always with circle movements. And always gently, giving yourself a relaxing and nice face massage.

* Doing it in the morning help drains those overnight-accumulated liquids that happen to puff our face when we wake up.

Honey is awesome for skin! It has antibacterial and moisturizing properties. Oat flakes can actually clean and make skin clearer while sugar crystals provide the proper exfoliation.

I always use a moisturizing cream after doing this, and I encourage you to do the same! (Moisturizing is a very important part of skin care. They not only prevent skin from losing water to the air but it also give us an extra protection from make ups, dirty and air pollution).

I think that's it for today!

I hope you try and like it as much as I do!

Thank you so much for reading!

Have a nice week!

Avène Cicalfate Crème Rèparatrice Review

Dear readers,

How are you doing today? I hope you're having a nice daaay!

(In case you're not having a good day, just remember God has a weird sense of humor! I always think that when I'm having bad days - seriously I can't believe my bad luck on such days Lol! Looking back to them usually makes me smile. Like what are the odds that those things happen right there on that moment. Unbelievable, unbelievable! Lol!)

Now today I want to tell you a little about this moisturizer I've been using and I think it's a must have if you have sensitive skin like me. It's Avène's Cicalfate Repair Cream! Honestly I haven't used anything from avène before, so I didn't know what to expect. I saw it on a drugstore and decided to try. Now I'm amazed and I have to say it was a good surprise!!!

And here it is:

I think it has a good size, comes a good amount of cream. I've been using it once a day almost everyday for like 2 months now, so I think it can last for 3-4 months. Which is very, very good!

Avène Cicalfate claims to purify and to sooth irritated skin rapidly (that's why I bought it! *laughs* At that time cold dry air was really bad to my skin) and it has anti-bacterial agents that encourage healing process (very important!). It's also fragrance-free and paraben-free - yey!!! It has done wonders for my skin! When my complexion was a mess, I used to apply this in the morning and before going to bed. And that's it! Just twice a day, and my complexion became clearer and stronger and smoother. I must say that this one has a thick texture, I mean it sinks on partched skins areas and really does what it's supposed to! But at least for me, once my complexion got better I started feeling my skin getting a little oily, so I changed my skincare routine: I'm applying Avène Cicalfate only at night. Luckily it's working very well! It keeps my skin healthy and glowing!!! - Totally recommend it!

I'd rate Avène Cicalfate a ... 10! Yes! It's a life saver!^-^ Whenever your skin is damaged, you can definitely count on this one! It is that good!

That's it for this review! Now I'm looking for a lighter moisturizer one with hyaluronic acid - which is great for normal to dry skin types. One I can use on daily basis, by the morning before bb creme/ foundation. When I find some of those I'll be testing them and most important: letting you know all about it! (:

Thank you for stopping by!!!

(..and let's keep on fighting!)

Erborian BB Crème Light Review

Hello guys!

Today I have a review about a bb cream I've been using lately and it has been so nice to my skin that I felt I needed to write about it. And if you have sensitive skin like me, then keep on reading this review you're sure to like it!!!

As I said for all ladies with sensitive skins out there I hope this post can help you!

Sometimes depending on the weather (long exposure to sun or cold winds) my skin can become very sensitive and drier than usual. When it happens I get chapped lips, my skin itches, I get smile lines and thin lines under my eyes ,the skin around my nose and eyes feel so thin and fragile - and it's chaos! Really!

So I can't put on my face just any foundations or moisturizers. Even some oils can be rude to sensitive skin. So what to do?

I usually look for lighter moisturizers and sunscreens. But since those do not cover redness and even out the skin I decided to look for a bb cream with a lighter texture that would really treat my complexion. And I was so lucky to discover Erborian BB Crème Light!

Erborian is a French-Korean brand that claims to blend traditional korean beauty herbs with french comfort and luxury. Their products are formulated with only natural ingredients. Providing all natural skincare and make up.
This light version is specially formulated to treat sensitive skin. It only comes in one shade: clair.
BB Créme Light contains a highly concentrated combination of herbs used in Asia for their anti-aging properties. It claims to unify your skin tone, conceal all imperfections, moisturize and nourish, providing a “baby softness” and velvety texture for our skin. It has a solar protection of SPF 25 which is great!
Erborian BB crème light is very nice and much more gentle to sensitive skin then every other foundations I've tried before - I recommend it!
Using it my skin always look moisturized and healthy  without giving that oily look. It has a light texture - just as it promises to be - therefore it doesn't last that long (around 6 hours and then I have to reapply it). It gives a nice coverage, hiding that redness from irritated skin and evens out skin very well, but it may not cover some break outs and dark circles. It's texture is very soft and some spots may need a concealer.

Can you see that bb crème light makes complexion looking more healthy and younger? - Or this photo isn't very good?

Actually I like this shade a lot, it blends very well with my skin color. I've been using it everyday and my skin got much better (Yey!). I've been applying it after a layer of my favorite Avène moisturizer and these two have been doing wonders for my skin. 

This formula is incredibly effective and very gentle. Also very well tolerated by sensitive skin.  I'd rate it: 9/10!

And that's it!Hope it was useful!I'd love to know if you've ever tried this BB cream before or have any opinions about it! Oh, and I'm here if you have any questions!(:

Note: Erborian bb cream lasted me 7 months.

Thank you so much for reading!!!

Have a nice day!!!
