Not removing your makeup completely – mistake for the skin

Hi my Reader 🙂

I wrote a few posts regarding the skin on the face and the mistakes that we could do by, what it seems, meaningless things. I decided to make it a series on my blog and point out everything that I can think of, and nearly everything that I am „victim“ of (see what I did there 😀 ), knowingly or unknowingly.

The topic for this post is going to be:

Mistake for the skin: not removing your makeup completely 

Depending on the products that one is using, no one can know if they are removing their makeup properly. I had that problem when I was using one lotion and I discovered it when I bought another. I used the one that I already had and because I was curious, I used the other one after and noticed that the first one removed my makeup, and even though the sponge that I used was clean, I still had makeup coming off when I used the other one. (Well this wasn’t confusing..at all…)

What to do? 

Depending on your skincare, you can’t really know if you are removing your makeup properly. So, try other lotions just so you can know if the one that you are using regularly is not causing you that dry patch, those pimples or even addictiveness of the skin toward the product.

What not to do? 

If you have oily skin, try not to overuse products that are drying the skin because you will regret it. (click here to read about it)

I can’t stress this enough but don’t fall into hype. Don’t try to mattify your skin to the point you can’t use anything else than products for extremely damaged, dry and dehydrated skin. Trust me, I learned this the hard way and will not stop bringing it up.

One more thing 

Take care of your skin, because you will miss it if you mess it up. I know that this is cliché but – drink water and tea as often as you can and you will avoid dehydrated skin.

Share your experience 

Write about your experience in the comments. I and maybe someone else will certainly benefit from it 🙂

Until the next chapter, stay positive and do something good for you and for someone else.

Clean phones = clean face. Tip for acne – free skin

Hi my Reader 🙂

This tip for clean face will save you from the agony of irritated skin. Don’t worry, cleaning your software part of the phone (although it wouldn’t hurt) is not included 😀

Phones are the great collectors of dirt. Just think about where has that phone been for one day. Touching it while you use door knobs, public transportation, money… Or just tossing it in the bag or just with sitting on the desk it collects dirt.
I creped you out, didn’t I? Good, now let’s get to the cleaning part.

I came up with a way of cleaning my phone:

Alcohol on cotton pad. Few drops of some strong alcoholic beverage will also do the job. Don’t worry about the smell – it evaporates after a while. Just make sure that you wipe it out with a drop of watter afterwards because the alcohol can cause damage if its let to leave a residue.

I used to break out around the area where I was holding my phone. Then I read about an article that phones can cause breaking out. And then I was a bit mad to myself because in between the running and studying I didn’t think of that. But, better late than never.

I hope that this will help you, because I sure know, it helped me…a lot!

Hope that you are having a great star of the spring.

Remember to do something good.

Ziaja med face cream & DENOVA pro lotion

Hi my Readers 🙂
This post will be about skin care for the face.

       I have been a fan of Ziaja for a long time. I use their products all the time and one of the small numbers of things that I keep repurchasing is one face cream of Ziaja. I will try to make posts about their products (at least the products that I use) and make it easier for you to make an opinion whether you should buy some of their products, or not.

Keep in mind that I bought all of these products by myself, this opinions are my own and might not meet the results that you are searching for due to the difference in the skin.

       When It comes to skin care on my face, I try to combine two items from the same line so I can use them together and see the results. When I was buying this two, they were out of stock of some products, so I combined 2 products from DENOVA pro and the original Ziaja company. In case you didn’t know, DENOVA pro is a branch from ZIAJA.

 

Ziaja med face lotion & DENOVA pro face cream 

 

Ziaja med face lotion

Zaia MED, antibacterial face toner (description from the official web page):

„ Gently cleanses the skin. Helps reduce sebum and soothe acne lesions. Restores skin natural pH. Reduces feeling of epidermis tension. Prepares the skin for further cosmetic treatment. Fragrance, alcohol and colorants free. “

The bottle contains 200 ml. of product. It cleanses my skin, removes the residue of the makeup that I may wore. The interesting thing for me is that is fragrance and alcohol free and I like that because it makes me think that it really works, is not more damaging my skin and does not leave a weird taste around the areas of my mouth.

 

DENOVA pro face cream 

DENOVA pro, antibacterial cream (description from the official web page):

• Reduces bacterial growth.
• Works to normalize sebaceous gland activity, helps control the excessive skin oiliness.

Active ingredients: compound of the oleanolic and nordihydroguaiaretetic acids, nori algae, provitamin B5 (D-Panthenol), Salicylic acid, vitamin C.

The packaging contains 60ml of product. I really like this product but I use it sparingly because they don’t bring it in my country anymore and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. For those who like matte skin, this mattifies it reeealy well, it’s perfect for a long-wearing makeup (under the foundation) and the most beautiful thing is that works well at cleaning acne. I get acne from time to time and I use this cream locally (only on the acne) and it dries them overnight. So, If you have really oily skin and you can’t find something that doesn’t make your makeup slide off your face, this is a product that I think it will work well.

 

This two product together make a good surface for applying makeup for oily skin: the lotion cleans the oiliness from the skin and the cream helps the face stay matte all day long.

 

I hope that you will find my opinions helpful.

Remember to do something good today.

Stay positive =)
