My first Glow Recipe product is the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask (and it might be my last)

I will not deny that I purchased the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask purely out of curiousity. Most sleeping masks usually target hydration problems, and I was curious as to how the retinol in it might work (or not) and more importantly, if it would sting, as products with retinol are wont to do.

Glow Recipe makes these cute little products that are aesthetically pleasing, but few of them, if any, have caught my eye. I believe that they are inspired by the whole Korean skincare trend, and took their own spin on things by using fruits as the basis of their ingredients. But I guess pastel coloured lotions and gels just didn’t appeal to my senses.

However, I was curious enough to try their new Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask! 😀

A sample of the Filorga Meso Mask got me smitten immediately!

I love the Filorga Meso Mask!

I think that’s all I want to say haha!

I was gifted a few sample sachets of the Filorga Meso Mask quite a few years ago from a Belgian blogger who no longer blogs (Phil, I hope you’re still reading!) He sent me a lovely, giant skincare package of his favourite products from french pharmacy brands, and I loved them all!

I especially loved the sachets of the Filorga Meso Mask, and the next time I had an opportunity, I picked up a tub in Paris. We didn’t have it available here in Malaysia at the time, and it was hard to find it online. But we do now! 😀

Let’s see if the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask provides 72 hours hydration as claimed

I have lazy skincare days.

So do you – admit it!

The fact also, is that I am lazy about using a mask. In fact, while I had loads of time on my hands during our lockdowns, I barely used any masks at all! Contrast this to a couple of years ago, when I was using a mask practically everyday (and seeing results!)

So, being lazy with my skincare routine and being lazy to use a mask, I decided to go all out and be the ultimate lazy-bum – use an overnight mask! I picked the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water, which I’d had for a while, and want to use up.

Sun damaging your skin? Here’s how I protect mine after prolonged sun exposure

January 19, 2021 Paris B 7 Comments

I was always an indoors person. Never very sporty or outdoorsy. It was easier for me to look after my skin then. Staying indoors is generally better for your skin, because of the reduced UV and sun exposure.

But then, I got a dog and all hell pretty much broke loose LOL!

Having a dog comes with many responsibilities, and one of them is daily walks. That meant I was being moved out of my comfort zone, and out into the sun.

Initially, I wasn’t paying much attention to my skin. I’d rush through my morning skincare routine, slap on any ol’ sunscreen, and head out the door with puppers.

But as time went by, I noticed my skin was becoming more dry, dull and my pigmentation had gotten worse. I knew I had to do something.
