How I Cut My Night Skincare Routine Time in Half
I never sleep with my makeup on, regardless of how tried I am. I usually take it off with some makeup remover and then wash my face two times before applying my usual toner and night oil. However, this process can be very tedious. This changed when I decided to give the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm a go. I applied a decent amount of product with the applicator (included in the box) onto my palms to warm it up and then gently massaged it onto my skin. Once, my makeup had been removed, I took the product off with…
How Retinol Worked on My Skin in Unexpected Ways
Retinol is a hot topic at the moment. I kept hearing about it but, I didn’t quite know what is was. A couple google searches later, I learnt that retinol was essentially vitamin A and that it is used to tackle various skin issues. Amongst its uses, anti-ageing and acne really stood out. Being 21, I’d never incorporated anti-ageing products into my skin routine so far and wasn’t keen on doing so either. However, I definitely wanted to test out its effect on breakouts. Growing up, acne and breakouts weren’t a massive problem for me but, lately, I’ve noticed…
Game-changing Sukin Skincare Products You Need to Try
We often tend to look at the ingredients that are used to make the food we eat but, we never pay attention to what goes into the products that we use on the largest organ of our body, the skin. The Australian bran, Sukin Naturals, advocates the use of more natural ingredients and craft beautiful products that are free from additives and any harsh chemicals that can cause damage to our skin. Sukin Naturals recently launched their skincare range in the United Arab Emirates. I was quite excited as had heard so much about the amazing quality of their skincare…
Body Yogurts: 15 Seconds To Glowing Skin
Walking past the Body Shop store’s window in Dubai Mall, a set of tubs neatly stacked on top of each other immediately caught my eye. Upon a closer look, I read the words Body Yogurt written on the colorful product. I decided to pop into the store to find out more about it. Stores like The Body Shop and Lush always have this beautiful and calming scent that lingers around the store and draws you in! As this product had just launched, the body yogurts were placed in the middle of the store with testers in view. I immediately…
Superfoods and Skincare with Elemis
According to Merriam-Webster, a superfood is a food that is rich in compounds (such as antioxidants, fiber, or fatty acids) considered beneficial to a person’s health. Therefore, in order to class something as a superfood, there must be some scientific research proving the properties it possess. Some say they boost energy and prevent the occurrence of various diseases alongside their anti-cancer properties. Here is where the problem lies, most of the research that backs up the claims is often riddled with flaws. For instance, the consumption of chia seeds was initially thought to have an effect on cardiovascular risk factors…
#Selfcare with Rodial
I’ve always been someone who used to wear makeup all summer long, no matter what the weather forecast was for the day. After an hour of stepping out in the heat, most of my makeup would simply come off with the sweat. It wasn’t until last summer, I vividly remember that hot day (you tend to remember the only 4 hot days a year you get when you live in England). I woke up with an almost clear face, lacking redness and spots. I’d like to think it was a miracle, but in hindsight, it had probably been the result…
