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 smell disappears one you wash it off. At first, I used it daily for a few weeks and my skin problems were gone! After that, I only used it once a week or when I a foundation caused me break-outs. Since you only have to use such a small quantity, this 250 ml tube won’t be empty anytime soon.

To conclude, I am very satisfied with this.

Ingredients:
AQUA, SODIUM TRIDECETH SULFATE, SODIUM LAUROAMPHOACETATE, COCAMIDE MEA, ACRYLATES PALMETH – 25, ACRYLATES CAPOLIMER, SALYCILIC ACID, LAVANDULA AUGUSTIFOLIA EXTRACT, MINERAL SALTS AND AMINO ACIDS FROM PELLOID MUD EXTRACT (PELL AMAR), EDTA, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERINE / PHENOXYETHANOL.

François Lelord, Christophe André – Comment gérer les personalités difficiles (How to manage difficult people) – my review

This is a book written by two French psychiatrists and psychotherapists. It helped me a great deal to understand various people in my family or my circle of acquaintances whose behavior was hard to take at times. The personality types discussed here are: people with anxiety disorders, those with histrionic personality disorder, obsessional personalities, paranoids, narcissists, Type A personalities, schizoids, depressives, dependent, passive-aggressive and avoidant personalities. The authors give concrete examples of patients’ stories (of course, without divulging their real names), they make a list of traits for each one of the disorders, so that they’re easier to remember, and they tell us what is advisable and what is not recommended in each case. They also use humor and anecdotes, which makes the book easier to read even for a neophyte like myself. At the end of each chapter there is a short quiz for the readers to see if they suffer from that specific disorder. The causes of these...
