Step by Step Skin Care Regimen Using Garnier, Estèe Lauder, SHILLS & Ponds Flawless Radiance

Image
Hey there! I hope I find you well. My last posts have been about Skin Care, especially cleansing, toning and moisturizing. We all know that skin care is very important because looking good starts with beautiful skin. With beautiful skin you will feel more confident with or without makeup. My  bff Gamu Belle has shared her skin care regimen with us (yay!). I found it very informative, helpful and creative. I hope it will also be of great help to you. Here is what she shared, enjoy! 1st Step: Scrubbed with Garnier Skin Active-Pure Active 3 in 1 2nd Step: Exfoliated gently with Beauty Formula’s Australian Tea tree wash. This product is not drying, even for oily skin. 3rd Step:  Applied SHILLS Natural Science Black Mask, using fingers and making sure to leave out the little eyebrows I have. Waited 20 mins for it to dry and then peeled it off. Didn’t see blackheads on this but my face looked clean with all access oil sucked out. With this product my skin ...

Rose Water Toner: Yay or Nay?

HELLO! My last post was about skin care, and I made reference to Rose water and how I use it as a toner after cleansing my face. As a toner I think it gets the job done, however, there are some things that I do not particularly like about using Rose water in general.   Before I started using it I read several reviews about how Rose water should be a beauty essential for everyone, about how it’s magic in a bottle etc. In a way it is magic in a bottle and a beauty essential mainly because it can be used on both the skin and hair. It definitely refreshes the skin, it also tightens pores, balances skin PH, and skin feels softer and smooth. In a nutshell, you do notice a difference, mostly good. However, I feel it can be a bit hash on the skin and I didn’t like the smell. I felt like it burnt my skin  and gave me a bit of a rash. My skin also felt a bit itchy when I first used it. I seriously thought that’s how it works, but when a rash appeared a few days later I w...

My Dudu Osun Black Soap Hey there! I hope that I find you all well. I have decided to write something on skincare, specifically dealing with blackheads, breakouts, scars, acne and clearing dark marks. I know there are so many ways of dealing with these skin problems; however, I am going to write about the Dudu Osun Black Soap. I know the name sounds scary and intimidating, but it is just a natural soap made from Pure honey, Shea butter, Osun (Camwood), Palm kernel oil, Cocoa pod ash, palm bunch ash, Aloe Vera, Lime juice, Water and Fragrance. I have been using it for a while now, and what I can say is it’s absolutely amazing. I would recommend it for anyone with problem skin and looking for something affordable and very effective. It is also readily available in most beauty shops and also online. As a matter of fact I have recommended it to a lot of my close friends and relatives, the results were phenomenal every time. I personally used to have dark marks and scars, ...
