Sky finds beauty

Okay so I feel like I have to go and change my “Best moisturizers for oily skin” post, because well, this Clinique gel moisturizer is definitely not the best . Anymore. For me. I absolutely love this innovative idea from Clinique. How come nobody has come out with this customization idea before and really props to Clinique for that. Clinique iD™: Active Cartridge Concentrate for Pores & Uneven Texture But the gel moisturizer just doesn’t moisturize almost at all. I have super oily skin so I loved how mattifying and lightweight this was, but after two months I felt that my skin was getting super oily already an hour after application and well enough is enough. I‘m not sure whether my skin has gotten drier and more dehydrated or unnaturally oily all of the sudden, but this product just isn’t for me anymore, which is a shame, because now officially I haven’t had any good experiences with Clinique’s products.  I always get super excited about their products and at first ev...

About six months ago my skin was absolutely the worst as I have pics for tracking my skin process. My skincare routine consisted of different acids from The Ordinary, African black soap and rose water. The products themselves are actually great, it was just all too much for my skin. Now either my hormones have calmed down or my skincare routine is better, but my skin has improved a lot. Also I got so much more information about important skincare steps from watching Beauty Within's Youtube videos. So now my skincares consists of Bioderma micellar water AM & PM I absolutely love micellar water. It is so gentle and effective when it comes to removing make-up and any dirt or impurities. I found that when washing my face with other gels and washes, my skin got super dry and flaky. Maybe there's something in the tap water... La Roche-Posay Serozinc spray After cleansing with micellar water, I like to spray this on and let it sink in. I'm not 100% sure it does an...

17 and still struggling. I have tried so many different skin care products and visited 3 dermatologists. Finally I've put together a skin care routine that works for me. I have oily skin (sometimes combination) and acne. Actually now my acne has calmed down. A few blemishes and acne scars. Less is more, so I tried to find simple products. Here is my 3-step routine: 1. Eau Thermale Avéne Cleanance Cleansing Gel I came back to this product, because this is simple and effective. Read my review of this product here . 2. LUSH Tea Tree Water Toner is important, because it closes pores and removes any make-up or cleanser residue. Many facial toners contain alcohol, but that's actually really bad for your skin. This LUSH tea tree water is natural, contains only a few ingredients that are tea tree water, grapefruit water, juniperberry water, limonene, perfume, methylparaben (the last two are safe synthetics). It has a good price at 12€ for the amount.  I spray it ...

I am still a big Clinique fan and finally I convinced myself that I need this so called amazing 3-step skincare system. Fortunately Clinique sells these 3-Step intro kits, so you could try out the mini versions of the products. These are available for 4 skin types and I chose number 3 aka combination oily. Price 29,99€ The kit consists of Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin Formula 50 ml, Clarifying Lotion 3 100ml and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel 30 ml. Step 1: Gently wash face with the Liquid Facial Soap Step 2: Pour some Clarifying Lotion on a cotton pad and swipe across the face Step 3: Apply a small amount of Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel all over face. Updated: I've used the Facial Soap before and it's still really good. It's not too rough, but enough to remove any dirt. The Clarifying Lotion was really harsh at first, it was really drying and my face was pretty irritated. But after a few days my skin got used to it. I see now how it has h...

High school days are a lot longer and when I get home all I want to do is sleep. School has been  draining my creativity. So it's been so hard to get inspired to write posts, even reviews. But a month ago when my skin was worse and I wanted a good moisturiser to protect from little sun we have and keep my skin healthy. Clinique has always been in my radar, but come on over 40€ for a day cream? No, thank you. Well, I am here now with the 40€ Clinique Superdefense SPF 20 day cream. And it is totally worth it! I love that Clinique's creams are all made for different skin types. At first I thought it was just this one cream for all, but then I saw the packages had different numbers on them (1 - Dry; 2 - Dry Combination; 3,4 - Combination to Oily).  So pay attention to the packages! Why Clinique Superdefense day cream? This cream is supposed to protect your skin from pollution and help skin become healthy. All-day hydration creates a moisture barrier so skin could better ...

If your skin isn't changing for the better, it's time to change up your skin care routine. Dealing with acne isn't easy, so when I ran out of my cleanser, I wanted to try something new and hopefully better. I've always wanted to try  Clinique products, but it has been out of my price range. This time I noticed that it had the same price as the Avéne one I've been using. Now I've been using Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin Formula for a month.  Price 21,99€ / on the right: Clinique Superdefense SPF 20 day cream First things first, the packaging is super comfortable to use and high quality. A clean green shade and sleek design, makes me feel so fancy and happy when using it. Of course I use this twice a day: in the morning and evening. I only need a one pump or a half of clear liquid soap to get it nicely foamy and massage it all over my face. I love that when rinsing, there is no residue. The soap comes off super quickly, leaving skin fresh. I thi...
