Hylamide Serums from DECIEM Store.

Image
I was introduced to hylamide store by one of the posts on Instagram. I was already in the hunt for a new serums brand. I went to DECIEM website, it is very appealing and user frendly. After checking all the products offered in the said website, I went for Hylamide brand. I ordered Hylamide Booster C25 and Hylamide Subq eyes. According to the website, Hylamide C25 does the following: " Concentrated and completely stable 25% Ethylated Vitamin C booster offers a fast-tracked approach to a visibly radiant, healthy-looking skin tone." It says 25% VITAMIN C ! What more do you want!!?? The first time I used the booster was weird to me. Its consistency is like dry oil! It feels runny and very rich and it leaves residue on the skin for a few seconds but it is not oil. It is a homogeneous, well blended clear liquid which the skin or at least my skin absorbs it like drinking water. I don't know if it is some kind of a trick and it evaporates like essential oils for example, ...

Home Derma Roller Experience

Image
When it comes to skin, the largest organ in our bodies and the most damage-able and age showing, we as women think alot and take care alot of our skins. Because none like to show age, loss of firmness, dullness and LINES. As a skin care freak, I tried everything on my skin, products, clarisonic, peeling, serums, etc. This costed a fortune. But i don't regret it, because skin needs some care. I was introduced to derma roller long time ago by kardashians scandal on "Blood Treatments". I did not get the concept behind it that time. After few years and through my research on skin improvement methods, I came across skin needling. so i intensified my researches and decided to go for it. The logic behind skin needling: Our skin is divided into three layers. The second layer is responsible for the production of collagen (collagen is the material which closes the wounds to prevent beleeding) .  All skin care product don't have the mechanism to penetrate beyond the ...

Gel Nail Polish (Gelish)

Image
When you think about the idea of having a color on your nails that is semi-permanent, you might feel a cringe. Commitment is uncomfortable ! LOL But in this case, it is good to commit... Before starting Gel Nail Polish I had chippy nails which brake as crazy every time I touched anything. My nails were affected easily by water and weather. I never saw them grow healthy, ever. So one day I was in the nail saloon starring at my nails. I started thinking about how hard it is to keep my nail color for the next few days before chipping. The lady working there advised me to try gel nail polish. The gel color stays for 2-3 weeks and act as a coat to protect the nail from weather and water. Of course I agreed without hesitation. Steps in gel Nail Polish: 1- Pedicure: It is always recommended to do you nails with a clean base and nice shape. 2- Base coat: It is a protective coat they use on you nails. The coat is dried using LED light machine. 3- Color of your...

La Roche Rentin A Face Cream

Retin A (and I am not a doctor) is an acid form of vitamin A. It has huge popularity and uses in medical and beauty industries.  Let's focus on beauty.  Retin A Creams have peeling effect on the skin. They are mostly used to improve the surface and the look of the skin. It is also widely used to cure wrinkles.  Basically Retin A encourage the skin to peel off is surface cells, which helps in reproduction of collagen in order to come up with new surface cells. This collagen production helps in the appearance of younger and healthier skin. Retin A also helps in the glow of the skin as you are going to have a new skin that is not effected by any harmful conditions yet. I do not have wrinkles yet and my skin texture is fine. I bought this cream as I am obsessed in skin glow and age fighting. I used La Roche Retin A cream for almost 3 months now and I like its results so much. It revealed a whole new skin of mine, very glowy and healthy and healthy and very less ...

How to Make your Body Moisturizing Experience Packed with Nutrients and Brightening Agents

Image
whether using ordinary body lotions or organic oils, these tips work for both ways. Sine our bodies expose to many harsh environment conditions. Their moisture levels and health conditions are effected. So it is a must to take care of our body skin as we do to our face.  P.S: Hands are as age detector as under eyes wrinkles! I use mostly coconut oil to moisturize my body immediately after shower. Coconut oil fatty acids lock the moisture inside the skin cells. This returns necessary hydration to the skin and gives it young look.  I add the following to my coconut oil moisturizer or body lotion for maximum hydration and brightness effects: 1- A few drops of fresh Lemon Juice: I add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice as this steps helps in packing up my moisturizer with good quantities of vitamin C, the main agent in collagen reproduction in the skin. This also helps in lifting the skin and eliminating stretch marks. Vitamin C is the skin's oxygen. ...

I wear Make up everyday... Am I damaging my skin?!

Image
YES... Imagine that your skin is a creature who has some pores to breathe from, and you just cover this creature and block all the air from entering... Can you imagine what will happen to the creature? That is exactly what is happening each time you cover your face with tons of foundation, powders, concealers and other products. Not to mention that each of them has its own wide range of chemicals and mineral oils. Those products that we wear penetrates its toxic chemicals into our skin, clogs the pores, encourages aging and dehydrates the skin. Even at the end of the day where you want to take off your make up, you start rubbing and adding more chemicals "make up removers" to the skin. Long story short, as much as makeup makes us feel good about our appearance, in the other hand it is damaging our skin badly. NOW WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO AVOID THAT!!! Ofcourse not!!! I am not going to ask you or eve ask my self to put away make up! I LOVE MAKE UP!! However we can ...
