The Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin Creamy Wash lets you go easy on your wallet and your skin

Paris B 3 Comments

I’m a little confused by the Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin range. I cannot seem to find much, if any, information online about it. Yet, it became available only just slightly over 6 months ago.

Having been previously burnt by the launch of a new product that I found impressive enough to share my thoughts about, only to find that it was quietly discontinued just less than 6 months later, it’s natural that I’m a little wary about new products.

My principle since, is to only talk about new products at least 3-4 months after they’re launched, both to allow me to gauge availability of the product and to allow me a decent period of product testing. I think it’s only fair to you!

Long story short, I am quite impressed by the Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin Creamy Wash, and I hope that it’s not a product nor a range that’s going anywhere any time soon.

Best of all, it’s so affordable! That’s a good thing to hear right? 😀

Boost Hydration: 5 Hydrating Lotions and Serums I love that work (and are mostly affordable!)

Paris B 14 Comments

While I’m at that age when products labeled as ‘anti-aging’ grabs my attention, my primary concern isn’t so much ‘aging’ as it is hydration.

It is my personal experience and belief (non-professional) that keeping skin well hydrated helps it look better, and even to function better and heal more quickly from blemishes.

However, I don’t seek out very heavy formula. Instead, I opt to layer my skincare, sandwiching thin layers of potent hydration, to build that buffer.

5 hydrating serums and lotions that work

In my time therefore, as many of you have oft-reminded me in person and online, I have tried numerous products. Yes, if you’ve read a review here on my blog, it’s gone on my face LOL! 😀

And there are products that I return to over and over, or will recommend, because they are just that good at their job.

Today, we talk about Hydration, and I’ll share 5 hydrating lotions and serums that work. And not only work, they work incredibly well! 😀

For an affordable, gentle makeup remover or cleanser, look no further than the Hada Labo 3 in 1 Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Water

Paris B 10 Comments

We haven’t heard of many new things coming out from Hada Labo in recent times, have we? It’s a brand I personally have an affinity with. If I had to recommend anyone something affordable, effective and easy to find, I usually tell people to try Hada Labo. I am after all also a big fan of their Premium Hydrating Lotion.

So, when I stumbled across news online about a new Hada Labo 3-in-1 Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Water, I perked up.

As good fortune would have it, I received a sample of this new micellar cleansing water and put it to work immediately!

It was quite literally, immediately. I showed it on Instagram Stories where I I used it for the first time, and talked briefly about my first impressions. It was quite recent, but it’s a cleansing product – it isn’t that complicated 😛

So, do I like it?

If you use hydrating products this is the best way to apply hyaluronic acid and hydration serums

Paris B 15 Comments

I don’t usually delve into ingredients because I’m no expert. But there’s one ingredient that I do tend to look out for in skincare products, because it is well proven to be effective, both in science and from personal experience. I first learnt about it when I was first introduced to Hada Labo skincare back in 2009 – that’s almost 10 years ago!

That ingredient is hyaluronic acid, often found listed in ingredient lists as sodium hyaluronate.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with this ingredient by now. If you have ever looked for a product to combat dehydration then you will have come across this ingredient. It is present in most hydration serums, and you can find it in a more “pure” form, in brands like The Ordinary or The Inkey List.

What I’ll share with you today, is what I’ve learnt from experience – the best way to use a hyaluronic acid serum or hydrating serum 🙂
