4 products I turn to, to calm and repair irritated skin

November 21, 2019 Paris B 10 Comments

In the last 2 months I’ve found myself battling temperamental and irritated skin. It has been rather unusual, as I’d gotten my routine to a level where I was comfortable with how my skin was faring.

And it was faring very well indeed!

And yet, there I was, facing inexplicable breakouts and dry, irritated and bumpy skin on my cheeks. My skin was dull and I’d lost any healthy glow I’d worked so hard to achieve. It’s frustrating when you have your skin just where you want it, and then have it go bonkers without knowing why.

It reinforces my belief that achieving and maintaining good skin is not a goal. It is work in progress. So I went back to square one, and thought I’d share some of the products that helped my skin along the way.

When using the May Lindstrom The Pendulum Potion Complete Cleansing Oil, time slows

August 19, 2019 Paris B 6 Comments

I had a sample of the May Lindstrom Pendulum Potion when it was first launched. I cannot remember now how I came by it, but I guarded that little bottle with my life, because I loved it!

Yet, because it was so pricey, and May Lindstrom products became a little harder to come by on my usual shopping sites, I bided my time, using it sparingly.

But, I recently treated myself to the full-sized bottle, after coming across a website promotion that I couldn’t pass up on. It was one of the best purchases I’ve made to date 🙂

My Skincare Routine August 2017 : Healing Sensitive Skin and Products I used

August 14, 2017 Paris B 31 Comments

I’ve been meaning to update my day and night skincare routine for a while (my last was in 2014!) Goodness, I hadn’t realised that it was so long ago! I’d been trying to write a post about my skincare routine for a while, but what with one thing and another, never got around to writing it.

I also get a lot of requests to share the products I’m using in my routine. The thing is, a lot of my basic routine remains pretty constant. The products change from time to time, depending on my skin needs, how I feel etc.

So, instead of just sharing my skincare routine once a year, which will change, I’ve decided to keep to an evolving skincare routine post. I’ll endeavour to share my routine every 2-3 months. It’ll give you an idea of what I’m using, how they work for me, how I use a product or fit it into my routine, and it’ll give me a point of reference as well. Also, it’ll allow me to highlight certain products that I may not dedicate a full post to. Win, all around methinks!

For starters, here’s my skincare routine that I’ve been doing for the past month or so. I had a much more complicated routine before this. But about a month ago, I noticed that the skin on both my cheeks were taking on a very bumpy feel. It wasn’t visible, but the texture of skin had changed, and any glow I had was gone. Naturally so, for the skin was uneven, even if unnoticable to someone else. I was very upset.

So, one day, I sat down, and stripped back all my skincare. Then, I built back a routine that was very simple and basic. Whether it was the products I used, or the routine I was on, my skin is now back to normal. Hurrah! 😀

SKINCARE TIP: Use Facial Oil as a mask for a one step lazy day skincare routine

April 26, 2017 Paris B 16 Comments

I’ve got a quick skincare tip for you today, which is one that forms the central part of my lazy day skincare routine. Oh yes, I get those, and as diligent as I am with my skincare, there are days when I just want to vege out. You know those days? When even spritzing on a facial mist seems like too much effort.

Yet, you don’t feel right not putting on your evening face – the layers of lotions and potions. Some days I power through the malaise. Other days, I cheat 😉

Well, I’ll share with you what I do in this instance. You only need 2 ingredients (faster than baking a cake!).
