Soothing and boosting hydration for my parched skin with the Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask

July 26, 2023 Paris B Leave a Comment

I’ve been having a very busy few weeks, as I’m in the midst of moving and setting up a small production facility for my little business, and I’d be lying if my skin care routine is not suffering from neglect.

But realising this, I had planned ahead – us skincare enthusiasts never give up on our skin care, we just modify our routines to suit our lifestyle! 😀

Realising that I’d be under stress, have less time to myself, and be exposed to the environment more than before, I upped my hydration for the day and for the night. When my body undergoes stress, my skin tends to dry out so I knew I had to maintain my hydration and moisture so it remains balanced. I’d treat any other concerns later!

What I’ve been doing more of is masking and that’s where the Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask comes in handy. What a mouthful it is! So I’ll call it the Antipodes Flora Probiotic mask.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Decorte Age-Defying Liposome Power Duo for face and eyes

April 13, 2023 Paris B 2 Comments

If there’s one thing that every skincare brand can agree on, is that aging is synonymous with loss of moisture in the skin. As we age, our skin barrier weakens, and allows moisture to escape more quickly, which then leads to dry, dehydrated skin, and the resulting fine lines and wrinkles.

Japanese brand Decorte has something to address this.

Decorte uses a new Multilamellar Bio-liposome, which is an ultra-fine 0.1-micron microcapsule that encapsulates moisturizing ingredients. These microcapsules (1 Trillion microcapsules in a single drop, apparently) penetrate easily and deeply into the skin to boost moisture from within.

The Liposome technology isn’t new, and Decorte has been using it since 1992 in their serum. This year, it’s a new formula.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence

shiseido eudermine activating essence launch

A few weeks ago, I was at the launch of the upgraded Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence. It is a product that has been in Shiseido’s line-up since 1897! I didn’t know about it, did you?

It was formulated then, using the most advanced Western pharmaceutical technology of the time, and the name is derived from the Greek words “eu” and “dermine” (derma), meaning “good” and “skin”. I guess it’s self-explanatory there!

What Eudermine is, is an essence, that you apply on your skin after cleansing and before your serum and moisturiser. It can be used day and night.

I think most people aren’t strangers to the concept of an essence anymore – it is more about what this essence will do for your skin.

The humidifier: A must-have gadget for keeping dry skin hydrated and comfortable

If you have dry skin, and sleep in an air-conditioned room, have I got a tip for you!

No, it does not involve any new skincare. In fact, it doesn’t even involve any use of special skincare (although I would still use a nightly skincare routine – it’s not a replacement).

I discovered it purely by chance, but it’s one I’m happy to share so you don’t have to suffer dry skin anymore.

What you need is a humidifier 😀
