Vitamin C

Hold up! This Medik8 C-Tetra Serum might be the only Vitamin C serum you need!

May 1, 2023 Paris B 2 Comments

I came across many raves for the Medik8 C-Tetra serum, where people who had tried it swore up and down that this was THE Vitamin C serum they’d be using from now on.

I got curious, because I love me a good Vitamin C serum, but I always had one in rotation, so it took me quite a while before I got around to picking up a bottle and trying it.

I have to say though, that it has been impressive! 🙂

The Empties Edition: Discovering a really nice hydrating serum amidst the empty bottles

December 19, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

I’ve been sticking to my resolve to use up products as much as I can, without leaving too many half-opened jars and bottles lying around. The only way I know if a product works for my skin, or if I love it, is if I’m able to finish it.

Better yet, I finish it, and yearn for a new bottle or jar! 😀

Here are some of my recent empties, because everyone loves a post about empties 😉

My 3 Pillars of an anti-aging skincare routine

November 29, 2022 Paris B 14 Comments

You know what I love about skincare products and information these days? It’s that there is so much information out there, and so many products and brands that help us achieve what we want for our skin.

I used to broadly focus on 2 areas of skin concerns in the past – hydration and anti-aging. While trying to find products that suited this ‘anti-aging’ category, I realised that ‘anti-aging’ is such a broad category, with so many products that claim to be it. For my purposes, I decided to narrow it down further.

These days, there are 3 specific types of products in my skincare routine that I maintain to address my ‘anti-aging’ concerns. These concerns are primarily lines, skin firmness and dull skin.

Why would it concern me if I don’t make a fuss about growing older, you ask? Well, because I’m vain – as are most people! 😛 😀

The Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum joins the legions of Vitamin C serums to try

November 7, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

I’m a huge huge fan of Vitamin C serums, as many of you know, but I had not been using one in my skincare routine for a while. I put it down to laziness.

Wot? Me, lazy?

Yes, it happens to the best of us 😛

I try not to stockpile Vitamin C serums, because it’s quite an unstable ingredient, if served at maximum potency. Extremely effective, but unstable.

When doing my skincare audit of my stash, which I do from time to time, I dug out the Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum. Incidentally, when I shared a picture of it on Instagram recently, there was so much interest in it, I just had to bump up my review 😀
