Hi, guys!

Lately I have been thinking (and cringing) about the mistakes I used to do when it comes to my skin care (especially when I was around 12-15 years old)

Im lucky that I am pretty young, so there is already a huge skin care community and I have so many resources, but I am interested in what you guys did to your skin when you were younger that you absolutely regret doing?
And how did you fix it now that you know more about proper skin care?

For me it was probably DIY-skin care (I’m talking about lemon with baking soda, and other stuff 😩) and constantly trying to pop my pimples, which led to deep scars and hyperpigmentation 😬
I also only ever wore sunscreen in the summer...

Growing up

Hi Guys,

I got a question for the community :D

When you got into skin care and started learning more about how to take care of your skin, body, etc., did you find yourself changing big parts of your life, e.g. cutting out diary/processed sugar, working out more, going vegan, etc.?

Ive heard from many people that as they learned more about what their body actually needs, they started to completely change their life, so I’m wondering if that’s the same with some of you guys!

Lifestyle changes

Hi guys, 
another question for the skin care community! :)

This time, I wanna hear your opinions on eye serums, creams, etc. and if you believe that using one (or more) of these is actually important!

Some people say that eye creams are just overpriced moisturizers, and that you could just use a normal (non irritating) moisturizer for the skin around your eyes, other people completely swear by eye serums and stuff!

What’s your opinion on that? :D

Eye serums/ creams

Honestly, nothing. I kind of expected a bad scent, but it smells like nothing much.
It might be drying if you already have dry skin or a compromised skin barrier, but honestly I dont know why you would go for this product if that was the case, so it would not be fair to deduct stars for that. 
I absolutely love it, just make sure to remove it with a soft, wet cloth or else this will go everywhere when you attempt to wash it off.

Okay, I need to share my thought because I am so impressed by this product. 
I read so many good reviews about this so I decided to try it as I am fighting with some serious breakouts at the moment and even some deep, painful cysts.

I followed the instructions, applied it on a clean, dry face and let it do its job. I mainly applied this on my forehead, nose and chin and my jawline, where the breakouts are occuring.
Let it sit for a bit (I did not wait the whole 10 minutes as I wanted to see how my skin would react), washed it off and immediately after my skin felt cleansed, but not tight or dry, and the swelling of some of my pimples definitely subsided a bit. I had no feelings of burning or tingling when I had this on my skin, and no redness after I removed it, my skin did not react and pretty much vibed with this product.
I was so surprised because I expected to see results only after a couple of days, but I did my usual hydrating night routine afterwards and went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I could already tell that my skin felt different than how it felt like before I put the masque on. Pimples that only just started growing pretty much „died“ without any redness or swelling left behind, pimples that were alread mature also shrinked in size and swelling. My skin felt so smooth I could not really believe that this was all just from this product.

I am so happy that this masque worked so well for me and if you have oily&#47; combo acne prone skin, I would absolutely recommend this to you. It worked wonders on my skin and I cant wait for next week to come so I can try it out again. 
Just make sure to follow up with a hydrating, soothing serum or essence and wear your spf in the morning!

- very stripping
- strong smell
- absolutely hell for sensitive or dry skin, even for oily skin its not a good product
- very abrasive, you will damage your skin

please do not buy this.

- honestly nothing. might see some changes in the beginning, but on the long run you will damage your skin

honestly? I have not had any bad experiences with this product. 
I would recommend using an oil-based cleanser before this tho, because it does not remove make up or sun screen

EDIT: may dry out your skin after long-term use, (i have combo skin), had to stop using this for abojt two weeks because my cheeks were super irritated

- quite affordable in my country (germany) considering its a pretty big bottle
- no fragrance = no irritation
- my skin feels cleansed without feeling tight or dry (I have combo skin, so I was worried that my cheeks would feel dry, which they never did when using this product) 

EDIT: i have now finally emptied rthis and stand corrected: i noticed that it actually did dry out my face after months of using it, so i would recommend using this only every second day or so and to use a more hydrating cleanser on the other days if u have combo skin

- a little actually goes a long way! it foams up nicely and you do not need to use a full pump for your face
- long shelf life (12 months)

edit: please use it for at least 30 seconds on your face to give the ingredients time to work :) this goes for any cleanser! dont just put it on and rinse off immediately

- as it is pretty light, i use shea butter on my cheeks, as they tend to dry out pretty easily (i have combo skin)
- no ingredients to fight acne, so u definitely have to use acne-fighting ingredients before u use this!

Edit: I learned that this product tends to cause break-outs on oily&#47;combo skin and I must admit that I am probably experiencing exactly that 😭 Ill use it as a normal moisturizer for my body, but people with oily&#47;combo skin may experience more acne when using this :( 
Better safe than sorry, so maybe use a different product.

- very affordable where I live (germany), honestly i got a CHONK for only 10 bucks, this will probably last me at least 6 months! 
- no fragrance = no irritation
- skin does not feel greasy after usage, does not sit on the face heavily
- a little goes a long way, a whole pump is enough for my face and my neck
- long shelf life (12 months)

a nice basic moisturizer

- very watery consistency, smell might be unpleasant to some (i dont mind it)

- works well on my super sensitive dry areas
- helped exfoliate my face, thus reducing clogged pores
- face feels super smooth and glows when i wake up

please only use this at night and WEAR SUNSCREEN!
