Sweet dreams are made of these ... Beauty products :D
I wanted to share with you my current skin care routine before I go to bed. Some products can easily be found in drugstores (our pharmacies or parapharmacies) and others I had to buy them online because they aren't sold here in France.
To take off my makeup, when I'm lazy I use usual make-up wipes (lingettes démaquillantes) but I've heard that it's not ecological...
My brother brought back from Japan the famous DHC Deep Cleansing Oil in the small format. This product is a 2 in 1. A make up remover and a cleansing oil (obviously). It's almost 100% natural and contains olive oil, jojoba oil... I use it to take off my make-up, but it won't take all of your eye make-up off. The thing I like the most it that it's natural and doesn't leave your face oily at all.
I use the Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 as a weekly scrub and mask. It has Kaolin Clay, Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid; perfect to remove the skin's impurities and calm down some acne. It regulates sebum, clarifies the complexion, etc, etc.
It's through the beauty channels of Elsa Makeup and AlexFashionBeauty that I've heard of Michael Todd True Organics. Their products are as natural and organic (bio) as possible and really target the different types of skin.
For these 2 products + shipping I paid around 40$ (30 euros) with a 10% discount, it is a little pricey but the quality is definitly there ! Plus they included a small version of the Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich facial mask, with glycolic acid, so it's so worth the price !
To cleanse my face, I use the Charcoal Detox Deep Pore Gel Cleanser.
As the brand says on their website : This detoxifying facial cleanser is particularly effective in caring for blemished and oily skin types as well as combination and normal skin. The creamy vegan cleanser is infused with Activated Charcoal to deeply clean pores of toxins and bacteria for smoother clearer skin. Activated Charcoal is an amazingly absorbent substance, widely known for its ability to effectively cleanse the skin, unclog pores, and remove deeper impurities and dead skin cells.Sulfate FREE "no tears" formula does not irritate eyes.
What can I say, I love this cleanser. It does smell a little weird (like plants) but you get used to it quickly. Your skin feels so clean and fresh after !
As a toner, I use the Blue Green Algae Antibacterial Toner.
As the brand says on their website : This organic toner's fragrance of fresh lavendar with a hint of birchwood will have you thinking you just stepped into a luxury spa. Rich in vital nutrients, trace elements and amino acids, blue green algae and organic kelp in a base of soothing aloe vera juice penetrate deeply into the skin to speed the elimination of toxins, promote cellular renewal, naturally nourish and remineralize the skin. Also contains black willow tree extract recognized for thousands of years for its healing power and fresh, warm, spicy tea tree oil a powerful immune stimulant to help fight infections and promote clear skin. A huge favorite, customers love this toner for its antibacterial formula to help improve problem skin. Enjoy!
They said everything perfectly. It does an amazing job ! It does sting a little but that's how I know that my face is clear of all impurities and left over make-up.
Last but not least : hydration ! If I have a blemish I love using the Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot treatment,
To moisturize, I've been loving for about a year now the Lait-Crème Concentré from Embryolisse. I talked about these two beautiful products right here :)
And I read on a blog a few days ago, (I have to remember the name of it !!) that Cicalfate from Avène is perfect to "repare" a spot : it has an antibacterial and renewing effect on the skin.
Have you tried any of these products, what do you think ? What's your skin care routine ?
