My personal skincare routine

My skin is a bit on the dry side (which doesn’t prevent it from breaking out at times). Throughout the years, I’ve used a large array of products: creams, lotions, oils, makeup removers, anti-aging stuff, etc.

I’ve selected what works best for me. First of all, I use makeup remover everyday, even if I don’t put on any makeup when I go out. The only makeup remover that I can tolerate is Vivanatura’s “No tears” cleansing cream (Cremă demachiantă “fără lacrimi”) – it is a Romanian product with almonds and silver, consisting in 98,4% natural and natural-origin substances. It cleanses my skin gently and hydrates it, since it contains sweet almond oil. It is the only cream that doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Sometimes I use The Pellamar BioActive Acne gel, when I get pimples. After that, I use various natural oils or types of butter. I use a different product per month (or until its recipient is empty). Right now I use pure shea butter. I don’t have a favorite brand, just make sure it is not mixed with something else and it’s as organic as possible. It’s supposed to have anti-aging properties, it stimulates cell regeneration and softens wrinkles.

Before that, I used sweet almond oil and I was very satisfies – this is my go-to. It gives my skin a smooth and healthy complexion, it hydrates it, it removes dark circles, and it is good even for eczema.

I also use coconut oil, which is solid and melts upon contact with the skin. It also calms and hydrates my skin.

Recently, I’ve discovered something very interesting – pomegranate seed oil. It really reinvigorates my skin, it improves its texture, it absorbs into it rapidly, it soothes it when I have skin issues and it is also moisturizes dry lips.

Most of these products have a decent price and I am very satisfied with their quality and effects..

Pellamar Gel - BioActive S Acne review

Pellamar is a Romanian company that creates skincare products containing sapropel – therapeutic mud from a specific lake. It claims to be non-comedogenic and paraben-free, to cleanse the skin, remove impurities and excess sebum without drying the skin. It contains lavender flour extract, which is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and helps heal wounds, burns, etc. The mud extract has a hydrating and protective role. It contains key amino acids: alanine, proline and glycine that have the effect of slowing down the aging process. Salycilic acid acts as an exfoliant, deeply cleans the pores and can improve the skin's structure and color. I started using this gel last summer, when the pimples and dark spots and other weird stuff on my skin started bothering me. I use a pea-size amount of product, mix it with a little water and spread it evenly. I leave it on for a couple of minutes then rinse it off with warm water. It doesn’t smell great (due to the mud component) but the sm...

Maybelline Dream Satin BB Cream review

I don’t usually use foundation so I’ve always tried to find a product that makes me look good and has SPF. Since I started to get sun spots, I realized that I can’t go out in the sun anymore without something that protects my skin. I used sunscreen but I didn’t like the smell or the way it looked on me – sometimes when I sweated it turned white. I love this BB cream – it makes me look fresh and healthy, even when I’m tired or I don’t feel well, it makes my skin look dewy. I don’t use a primer or anything else, just blush on my cheeks. It lasts for a long time, I’ve been out for 6-8 hours and I still looked good when I returned home. The description says it is an 8-in-1 BB Cream, it brightens, smoothes and hydrates, it gives skin a dewy finish, it adjusts to skin tone and blurs imperfections – I agree with all of this. It has SPF 30. I use a small amount and blend it in with a foundation brush or a make-up sponge. List of ingredients: TITANIUM DIOXIDE, WATER, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE...
