Top 3 Ingredients For Dry Skin.

Hiii wonderful people! I hope everyone is having a good time and that everyone is safe at home. Today I’m gonna share with you guys the “Top 3 Ingredients For Dry Skin”.

What is Dry Skin?

Dry skin is skin that doesn’t have enough moisture in it to keep it feeling soft and supple. People with dry skin may have rough-feeling patches that flake off or look scaly. It may or may not be itchy (pruritis). Severe dry skin may crack and bleed. Dry skin isn’t usually serious. In most cases it’s caused by factors like hot or cold weather, low moisture in the air, and soaking in hot water.

These are some of the signs and symptoms of dry skin:

• Dehydration.
• Flakes, rough texture.
• Cracks in the skin.
• Itch.
• Skin feels painful, may sting or burn.
• Wrinkled with a rough, loose texture.
• Skin infections.
• Peeling skin.

Ceramide

Ceramides are made up of long-chain fatty acids that link with other important molecules to promote cellular function. Ceramides help create a barrier to prevent permeability. This locks moisture into your skin, which helps prevent dryness and irritation. Ceramides can be applied day or night, typically in the serum step of your regimen. They can also be used throughout the day!

Hyaluronic acid

I’ve said this before, but hyaluronic acid is an amazing product for inner dryness / dehydrated skin! It goes by other names like sodium hyaluronate, or sodium acetylate hyaluronate, so don’t get confused if you can’t find the exact words inside your products.
Hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types — even those who have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts. It’s also safe to apply the acid to your skin if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Hyaluronic acid products often have different number of ‘layers’, which means it contains different types of hyaluronic acid of different molecular sizes. The different molecular sizes will allow the product to penetrate and hydrate the different layers of the skin and keep your skin plump and hydrated from within.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHAs)

Applying alpha hydroxy acid in a lotion, cream, solution, or skin peel can decrease wrinkles and some other signs of aging or sun-damage. Dry skin. Applying lotion or cream containing alpha hydroxy acid can improve dry skin.
To reduce your risk of irritation, the Cleveland Clinic recommends using AHA products every other day. As your skin gets used to them, you can then start applying AHAs every day. The peeling effects of highly-concentrated AHAs may make your skin more sensitive to UV rays for up to one week after use.

Top 3 Ingredients For Oily Skin.

Hiii everyone! I wish you all a blessed Tuesday full of joy and happiness! Today I wanted to talk about the Top 3 Ingredients that are a MUST and goes super well for people with oily skin!

What is an oily skin?

Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. These glands are located under the skin’s surface. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin. It is vital for keeping the skin healthy. However, too much sebum can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. An oily skin type is exactly what it sounds like –excess oil on the face produces a persistently shiny or greasy appearance.

1. Salicylic Acid.

Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble BHA, meaning it penetrates deep into the pores, breaking up dead skin cells and clearing congestion. Because it can penetrate so deep, it’s an effective whitehead and blackhead buster. Adding salicylic acid to your skincare routine for oily skin can help to clear out excess oils and reduce sebum levels.  While the frequency of application will vary from product to product, most will recommend use twice daily. But always be sure to read the product label and you use it as instructed!

2. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid, also called hyaluronan, is an anionic, nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. Serums that contain hyaluronic acid are hydrating but great for oily skin as they leave minimal emollient residue. Avoid serums that are heavy, oil-based, or contain many botanical seed oils. Serums that contain AHA can be helpful for oily or acne-prone skin. Use a moisturizer infused with hyaluronic acid at the time when you’d usually moisturize. Ideally, this would be twice a day and always after cleansing, exfoliating, or applying serums.

3. Kaolin Clay

Kaolin clay is enriched with kaolinite mineral that is ideal for all skin types. But it’s mostly suitable for people with oily skin. Kaolin clay doesn’t strip away the natural oil from your skin. It only removes the extra sebum oil and prevents pore clogging. It’s used to draw out impurities and toxins from the pores. Because of its antibacterial properties, kaolin clay may be useful in treating acne, too. The minerals in kaolin clay can remove oils, secretions, and contaminants from the skin. While Kaolin clay is gentle enough to be used every day, it also depends on your skin type. For people with oily and acne-prone skin, it can be used as a face cleanser to remove excess sebum and impurities from the skin. For people who have normal or dry skin type, they should ideally use it 1-2 times a week.

Top 3 Ingredients For Combination Skin.

Hiii everyone! I wish you all a happy and blessed Saturday. Today I’m gonna share the “Top 3 Ingredients For Combination Skin”

What is Combination skin?

Combination skin is simply having oily skin in some areas of your face and dry skin in other areas.  It usually feels oily in the T-zone (the area that includes your forehead, nose, and chin) but dry everywhere else. It can also be oily and dry in different locations, but if you notice two or more different textures on your face, it is a sign that you have combination skin.

1. Propolis.

Propolis is a powerful tool to fight off acne not only due to its antibacterial nature but also for its anti inflammatory properties. It eases the redness of the skin and soothes the skin by cooling the temperature of the skin. Propolis also works as a great supplement when you are using products that contain vitamin C. Because vitamin C is the most potent, therefore, most famous ingredient when it comes to skin brightening and lightening, allowing vitamin C to perform its full capacity is important if you desire better complexion.

2. Green Tea

Green tea also ha This is due to the tea’s high content of polyphenols. Green tea’s anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce skin irritation, skin redness, and swelling. Applying green tea to your skin can soothe minor cuts and sunburn, too. Green tea also makes a great final rinse for your face. Once you’ve cleansed and scrubbed your face with your regular products, use a mug of green tea as a final rinse instead of water. This will help tighten pores and the natural astringent properties will ensure all-round tighter skin.

3. Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid can come from sugarcane, but because the synthetic form is easier to stabilize, that’s what you’ll find in most skincare. A small molecule, it penetrates the skin really well for maximum cell turnover and also encourages the skin to naturally hydrate itself.
Dr. Downie recommends using an exfoliating cleanser—ideally with 15% glycolic acid—to prevent further signs of aging and unwanted breakouts. User beware: the acid is probably best for those with oily to combination skin since this acid can be irritating.

4 Important Vitamins in Skincare.

Hiii everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Today I’m gonna talk about the 4 type of vitamins that are super important in skincare!🌸

Why do we need vitamins for our skin?

• It normalizes the activity of tyrosinase ( an enzyme that plays a vital role in the production of melanin).
• It assists in the promotion of healthy collagen and elastin formation by stimulating fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen in the dermis)
• Leaves skin looking firmer and more youthfully radiant!

Vitamin A Derivatives (= Retinoids)

Both the upper and lower layers of skin need vitamin A. It seems to prevent sun damage by interrupting the process that breaks down collagen. Since it’s an antioxidant, it may give your skin some protection against sunburn (not as much as wearing sunscreen). Also derivatives of vitamin A, that are often described as retinol: Retinyl Acetate, Retinyl Linoleate, Retinyl Palmitate and Retinyl Proprionate (It’s important to remember that all vitamin A derivatives must convert to retinoic acid). Let’s not forget that Vitamin A reduces appearances of fine lines & wrinkles, it improves acne and stimulates collagen. But remember to use it moderately because Too much vitamin A can be harmful and toxic!

Vitamin B3 (= Niacinamide)

Niacinamide (= Vitamin B3) is a stable vitamin that offers a wide range of well-documented topical benefits. It helps hydrate skin, promotes skin elasticity, decreases redness and blotchiness and acts as an antioxidant, fighting free radicals. Vitamin B3 also reduces hyper-pigmentation and sebum production + It maintains skin barrier function!

Vitamin C (= L- Ascorbic Acid)

This protein is naturally present in your skin and helps keep it from sagging. But your body slows down collagen production as you age. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it protects skin cells from damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure. It also inhibits melanin production in the skin, which helps to fade hyper-pigmentations, boost UV protection, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and it also stimulates collagen! Interesting, right?

Vitamin E (= Tocopherol)

Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment. It protects the skin from various deleterious effects due to solar radiation by acting as a free-radical scavenger. It also helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health and may be beneficial at reducing UV damage to skin. + It also has emollient properties.

Top 5 Must Try Body and Face Care Product Brands.

Hiii everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! As promised, I’m posting today a random but interesting blog about the best skincare brands (in my opinion)!

1. CeraVe (For Body and Face Care)

Why?

CeraVe is a brand created with and recommended by dermatologists. Adding that Cerave’s short ingredient lists make it especially beneficial to dry and irritation-prone skin types. Rooted in the science of dermatology, CeraVe products are formulated with a blend of three essential ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II), fatty acids, and other lipids to help restore the skin’s natural barrier. The brand is commonly seen as being good for sensitive skin, effective, as well as being budget-friendly and available at drugstores!

2. Dove (For Body and Face Care)

Why?

Dove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever originating in the United States. It’s a brand that has tremendous brand loyalty–even in an age where it’s hard to achieve consumer loyalty. Dove has its benefits in:

• Effective Skin Cleanser.
• Provides Hydration.
• Dove Soap Is A Natural Moisturizer.
• Dove Soap Provides Complete and Balanced Nourishment.
• Dove Soap is Anti-Allergic.

And that’s why Dove is still the No. 1 dermatologist-recommended brand for body wash, bars, antiperspirants and deodorants in the US today!

3. The Ordinary (For Face Care)

Why?

If you want to step up your skincare game, The Ordinary features a wide and inclusive collection of serums, oils, cleansers, and more. It’s simply high-performing, results-driven skincare without the frills of scent and made up names, whether you opt for an oil, acid or serum. Oh, also the names of the products refer to skin-care ingredients–not results—they all sound like something out of an advanced medical textbook. (I recommend using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + vitamin B5 (an anti-inflammatory that can help decrease puffiness), which costs less than $10 for true and deep moisture!)

4. Vaseline (For Body and Face Care)

Why?

According to researchers , petroleum jelly is one of the most effective moisturizers on the market. However, the brand Vaseline also sells lotions and creams, as well as oils and serums, that contain smaller amounts of its classic petroleum jelly product. Dermatologists recommend using petroleum jelly to: Relieve dry skin, including your lips and eyelids. Dry skin can flake, itch, crack and even bleed. Since ointments are more effective and less irritating than lotions, consider applying petroleum jelly to dry skin, including your lips and eyelids. As you guys can remember. As I’ve mentioned before in my recent post that I love to use vaseline for my stretchmarks because it hydrates them and it makes them feel super moisturizing.

5. Neutrogena.

Why?

The company is known for being dermatologist recommended, and their product line includes skin care, cosmetics and sun care. Great for acne-prone skin: Neutrogena is best known for solving acne problems for men and women. They have moisturizers, cleansers, kits and cosmetics for facial and body acne. But also Neutrogena has its benefits in the treating of:

• Sensitive Skin
• Anti-Aging
• Uneven Skin Tone

In my opinion these are the 5 brands that are THE best for face and body care and I honestly don’t know what my skin would do without them!

My Favorite Face Care Products.

Hii lovely people! Welcome back to my blog. Today I’m gonna share and talk about some of my favorite face care products!

P.S: I don’t use too many facial products hahaha, so there won’t be like a bunch of products mentioned.

Proper skin care is important because our skin is the largest barrier against infection that we have. Keeping our skin healthy and moist helps keep this barrier strong so we use some skin care products to help us with that!

Face Scrub:

REVUELE 3 in 1 Charcoal Gel, Scrub and Mask

This charcoal gel is THE boss when it comes to face care. Thanks to the activated carbon microparticles – the most effective natural exfoliant, this product gently exfoliates coarse cells, frees your pores and removes blackheads. Plus the cleansing gel deeply cleanses your skin, regulates sebum production; removes acne and oily sheen. And the mask is the white clay known for its absorbent and calming properties, renders your skin matte and evens out your complexion. There’s also an application method written behind the tube. The result: your skin is deeply cleansed and free of acne, blackheads and oily sheen. It’s totally worth it!

Face Sheet and Face Mask:

SENCE 1 Pre-treated Charcoal Face Sheet Mask

SENCE BEAUTY SPECIAL EDITION Blackhead Peel-Off Facial Mask with Charcoal Extract.

SENCE Animal Themed Face Sheet Mask.

In general I LOVE using all of the SENCE products. SENCE is a Dutch/ European beauty brand and let me tell y’all that it’s the best brand I’ve ever tried yet. I use all of their face sheet mask and peel-off masks. Their products are super hydrating, exfoliating and fresh and it helps super good with all types of skin, acne, blackheads, wrinkles, glamour boost, white heads, purifying and cleaning of your skin. They also have some cute and fun facial sheet mask that comes in shapes of animals like the one above!

Lip Scrub:

About the lip scrub, I don’t buy it, I make it myself with honey and sugar, which is my favorite!

Anti-acne and pimple:

REVUELE SOS Anti-acne and Pimples Spot Treatment

This gel is my hero. It helps me out with my pimples especially when I’m on my period and I know that my face is going to break out at the fullest. It needs to be applied on the pimple, not on your whole face. It provides active antiseptic and healing effect directly on the inflamed area. Absorbs subcutaneous inflammation reduced irritation, dries pimples and blackheads, prevents their reappearance and eliminates visible signs of skin inflammation. Plus it’s alcohol free!

Face Cream:

NIVEA Mattifying Day Cream Combination to Oily Skin.

This facial day cream I use both in day and in night and the reason is because the night one kind off makes my skin itchy. But this cream makes your face feel super hydrated and healthy, it’s a blessing for me cause not every face cream I’ve used before this one, had the same effect. So I totally recommend this one and it’s super affordable!

My Favorite Body Care Products!

Hi beautiful people! I’m back with a fresh new blog! Today I’m going to talk and share about my favorite body care products!

Good body care is important for the following reasons: It helps your skin stay in good condition: You’re shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it’s important to keep your skin glowing and in good condition! Maintenance of the hygienic state of the skin under optimal conditions of cleanliness and comfort.

Dove Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk Exfoliating Body Polish.

This body polish is THE best. I’m super in love with it. I always use it with an Exfoliating Glove so I can scrub my legs before shaving them. You can literally see all the dead skin cells being removed. It makes my legs super soft, clean and exfoliated! And I can also notice the dramatic skin color difference! 100% recommended 10/10!

Dove Purely Pampering Coconut Milk Nourishing Bodywash

Dove Purely Pampering Shea Butter & Warm Vanilla Nourishing Bodywash.

These 2 bodywash / shower gel are top tier. They smell super good (especially the she butter and vanilla one) They have a really soft & relaxing scent and you don’t even have to use allot, because with just a single drop of it, it makes foam immediately. It removes all the dirt and I also love how it doesn’t make your skin dry or dehydrated. Also 100% recommended, 10/10!

Dove Sensitive skin Unscented Beauty Bar

Yes, I use 2 soap when I shower; The shower gel and the “Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar”. If you’ve seen my blog about “How to stay clean and fresh during your period“, I talked about how you shouldn’t be using a scented and colored soap bar for your vagina, because it can create odors, yeast infection and can also ruin your pH balance. So I recommended to use this unscented, white soap bar. I also use this one of course and it’s SUPER helpful and useful.

Dove Nourishing Body Care Shea Butter and Warm Vanilla Pampering Body Lotion.

Dove Nourishing Secrets Restoring Ritual Body Lotion

What can I say? These 2 are my tops! Especially the coconut body lotion, it’s AMAZING! If I get out of the shower and I don’t put on my lotion all over my legs, arms, chest and tummy, I CANNOT CONTINUE MY DAY! I will feel as If I’m forgetting something and I will actually feel and see that my skin is dry like Sahara Desert. It’s super moisturizing and it doesn’t have a strong scent. It makes you feel clean but it also gives you that security that your skin is in good condition. And it’s super affordable just like the 2 products I mentioned before!

Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant.

I’ve heard people talk about the other vaseline lotions like the “aloe soothe” one or the “calming lavender” one. But it can never be compared with the “Cocoa Radiant”. I cannot explain how good and moisturizing this lotion is. It’s super FANTASTIC ! I don’t know why but I mostly use this one for my stretch marks, I just feel that It does a super good work with them. It has a soft scent and texture. (As you guys may see, I use lotions and shower gels with soft scent, because it just makes me relax.)

Basically this was all for today and YES I know that I didn’t mention face products nor what I do with my face, but it’s because I’m planning to do talk about that in another blog, so stay tuned!

Well beauties, this was all for this blog, I hope you liked it. Thank you for reading !
