The Ordinary Skin Peeling solution!

Image
Hello, beauties: As I think we all know by now that I am a skincare junkie. Although skin care products are only prevention methods as no product in a bottle can reverse the clock, I still love skin care and I am always on the hunt for new products. in the last 2 months, I decided not to use peeling products, and I was wrong. The only product that you should never stop using especially if you are someone who spends a lot of time outside like me is peeling serum. My skin got filled with whiteheads and discoloration. so I went online and searched for some new product to use. I know the ingredients I want and I trust Deciem company so ... Today I have a truly amazing product from Deciem. It is revolutionary. Its efficiency is proven since the first use. I love it and I believe everyone with non-sensitive skin should try it. It is like getting your youthful 18 skin all over again and for only   12.3 $ !!! https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-aha-30pct-bha-2...

Juice Beauty Products Review

Image
Hello guys: I was introduced to Juice Beauty by some Youtuber whom I don't recall now (sorry about that). She was talking about their cleanser. I googled the name and started reading more about this brand name. They have  around 4 lines, each specified to a certain type of skin. I was attracted to the Green Apple Brightening Skin care because I believe this line is addresses to prevent young to mid-age skin from aging and to cure all discoloration and environment-related skin concerns.  This line contains CoQ10 which is a co-enzyme which the body produces to act as an antioxidant. Antioxidant make a shield to avoid harmful free radicals  from damaging the body cells. On beauty scale, free radicals leads to pre-mature aging, wrinkles, textures and uneven skin tones. This line of products has also peptides which are small particles of collagen. These particles are tiny enough to penetrate deep in to the skin. Studies showed that applying collagen in its form to th...

What to Expect When doing a Facial Treatment

Image
As a start and according to my aesthetician, a facial treatment is needed every 4-5 weeks. In some cases when the skin is in good condition as in no acne,clogged pores,oils..etc, a facial treatment could be postponed to be every 6-7 weeks. Always make sure to do your facial in an authorized clinic, no salons or spas, and always make sure to talk to the technician who is going to do the facial for you. Discuss your concerns with her/him and make sure she/he have the proper knowledge and know your needs. Facials are divided into two  parts - based on the expected results- : 1- Tools / Machines  2- human effort (technician/beautician) Most tools/machines in facial treatments are the same. Vapor machine, facial cleansing brush, smaller facial cleansing brush, pores closing machine..etc. They are very important steps to clean the pores and prepare the skin for extractions. Also they are crucial in closing the pores at the end of the facial treatment to avoid any ...

My Skin Smoothing Product.. The Best Before Wearing Makeup

Image
I do not suffer from big pores. I never used mattifying primers, my skin is too dry by it is own.  When I first knew about this method, I was searching for a way to reduce the appearance of intense black circles, also to increase the brightness of my skin. "GREEN TEA ICE CUBES" is the solution for  magical skin. I started using green tea ice cubes for about 2 months at this point, and they work like magic! I apply one cube in the morning to help me with the puffiness especially under the eye area, and I apply one cube at night before my night time skin care regime to refresh the blood circulation in my skin.  I truly found incredible results in the overall smoothness/brightness of my skin. These ice cubes helped me with the firmness of my skin and gave me a more youthful look. I like the redness incorporated with the ice application as it shows how the blood is flowing in the skin, this helps in reducing any blue/green spots in the skin especially in the ca...

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. ...

Bioderma sensibio H2O - cleansing water

Image
This is my second bottle, It is super gentle on the delicate eye area and most important, it removes all make up at one swipe. This is the revolution I am talking about Bioderma has invented a new miracle in removing eye make up, it is water based !! Oil based make up removers irritate the eyes and leave oily residue on the skin, these residues clog the pores. While using this cleansing water leaves the skin fresh and oil-free , you can apply your eye cream immediately without rinsing the product, even if it gets into the eyes, it won't affect or irritate them. I know it is expensive compared to other make up removers, but it's worth it and for all makeup geeks, you need to give this product a try.. you will love it that you would barely grab any other product you have. Until Next Time.. Have a beautiful life..

How to Remind Yourself to Drink More Water at Work

I used to forget to drink water for 1-2 days without any problem! I did not used to like water or its taste. One day I decided to change and drink more to enhance my skin conditions and  my overall health. Fortunately, this was one of the steps that dramatically changed my skin and wellness. It was hard at first so I followed few steps and tricks to always remind and force myself to drink more water. 1- Search for the benefits of drinking enough water and the changes you except: I started by searching on how water effects us, and how much should I drink and what to expect when drinking enough water. Also what is dehydration causing me. Google is filled with such articles. Read as much as you because it is a great motive. 2- Put in mind that drinking water causes skin/hair anti-aging: Enough said! Enough hydration plumbs the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and reveals healthy and young looking skin and body. Water also prevents hair breakag...

Two Products That Changed my skin dramatically

Image
Hello Beauties: In this post I am going to share with you the perfect two products to polish your skin. By that I mean that these products are meant to add something to the "good-condition" skin you must already have. Basically, Those two products are not wonders, they can not clear the acne prone or the highly pigmented skin. They can only - in my opinion- add the extra glow, smoothness, firmness, softness you desire. I have normal to dry skin. I do not suffer from serious issues. I have a breakout once in a while, Some dryness around the mouth area, some redness around the nose area and that is all. Those products are: Perricon MD Blue Plasma  Sanitas Vitamin C Serum I started using  Perricon MD Blue Plasma  one year ago. The texture of this product is little bit thick, it is between the serum and the moisturizer texture. It does not smell very well, but it is not a problem since the smell vanishes after a while. When I started using this product I did n...

Sanitas Vitamin C Serum Review

Image
Totally Worth it. I am a huge fan of serums. They feel like they are the intensive care and treatment of a regular moisturizer. They are  must in my skin care regime. I  totally find differences when using them. This Sanitac Vitamin C Serum is a miracle. Firs of All, vitamin C is great for the skin since it stimulates and helps in creating collagen for firmer skin and much younger look. It is also powerful agent to fight mature and pre-mature aging, wrinkles and fine lines. It helps also with brightening and discoloration. It gives you the baby skin you desire. And in this serum, Vitamin C is packed in it in maximum levels. So little drop could give you the daily need of vitamin C for your skin. So it is worth the money as of do not need to use alot of it at once.  The texture of this serum is very unique. It feels like nourishing oil. Once applied you can feel the hydration in the skin. IT sticks like glue. Also it gives the look of a greasy chicken ...

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 ...

Fruits and Passion Store - Organic face Masks

Image
Everybody can smell the fruity scents this shop has. Actually the smell was behind he reason the shop caught my attention at first place. Their odors are so intense and heavenly fruity. Their products are so attractive and the staff was friendly. So  I took a walk inside the shop, nearly read every product description - you can not stop once you enter their shop-. They are basically an organic version of Bath and Body Works or The Body Shop. You can find body lotions, shower gels, scrubs, face creams, candles, home odors and many more all claimed to be organic. It was a good thing in my opinion as we already use all of these products, so there is no harm of them being organic and chemicals free. Their Masks caught my attention. Not only that their package is so professional and colorful like you are walking out of a spa, but also the ingredients and the description of each mask push you so hard to  buy it. They seemed so soothing and nourishing to me, easy to apply and ver...

Sanitas Brightening Peel Pads

Image
I heard about these pads from one of my friends. They are truly hard to find and I searched alot of websites to order this product. Finally, after many trials I found one and I ordered and I got mine yesterday. Basically I needed those pads to tighten my pores on my cheeks. So yesterday I removed my make up, cleansed my face with Bioderma Facial wash, tonned my face with Botanics Rose Water Face Mist, and used the Sanitas Brightening Pads. When you open the jar you find circular pads stacked over each others, their texture is little bit rough, they have diamond shapes all over the pad. The pad is soaked with the acids you can feel its dampness. So I started wiping my face with it, it felt refreshing at first like you are rolling some mint on your face, Then after few seconds I felt little stings on my face, mostly from the edges of the diamond shape textures on the pad. I also felt some heat on my face - nothing that is painful-. The pad dried completely and I waited ...
