Oils for Oily Skin

When I was around 12 and I first started having problems with acne, I started following all the stupid advices from "smart" articles and magazines about health and beauty and from the commercials for the newest "anti-acne" products. One of the things you can hear very often when talking about acne, is that acne acne = oily skin. And so you should avoid all products with too much oil in it  Now, few years later I know that pure plant-based oils help healing my skin much better than all the expensive "specialized" cosmetics.

Chamomile & Sea Buckthorn Calming Toner

One of my New Year's resolutions was to reduce all the products packed in single-use plastic. There's always a way to make a homemade alternative to (food, cosmetics etc.)  these store-bought products. For example toners, make-up removers and other skin care products are very easy to make at home - just choose the right oils and herbs and create the perfect toner for your skin type.

How To Switch To Natural Cosmetics

Every single day, there are so many advertisements all around us, advertisements for miraculous skin creams, unsolicited lipstick, mascaras for super huge lashes, cleansing toners for instantly clear skin ... It's an ilusion. Mostly, these products have just nice packaging and the product itself is full of chemistry, that only destroys our skin in long term.
For me, switching to natural cosmetics was a bit difficult at the beginning. So why is it so important to make this change and how to make it as easier as possible?

Natural Hair Dye

I've never liked my natural hair colour. I know everyone should accept how they look naturally ... but I just can't help. I alway feel better when my hair don't look like straw and when they kind of go with my black eybrows. So when I was abot 13, I dyed my fair for the first time. And after the colour got washed away, I bought another one .. and then another one and eventually I completely damaged my hair over the years. I try to use only natural cosmetics most of the time, but hair dyed used to be a big problem for me. For a long time I had no idea, where to get a hair dye, that would look natural, that would last for a long time and that wouldn't damage my hair.

DIY Oat & Geranium Toner

I've always love making my own cosmetics at home - face masks made of all ingredients found in the kitchen or making my own "lipstics" from crashed eyeshadows and vaseline as a kid ... My cosmetics preferences change a bit so today I'd love to share with you a recipe for all-natural face toner made of oats and geranium oil. Oats are one of my favourite ingredients for peelings, mask and toners. It moisturizes the skin perfectly, makes is much smoother and it also help really well against acne :)

The Best Acne Cure

Acne is quite a "normal" thing in the age of 12-15 - during the puberty. It's caused by hormonal imbalance, because the body is changing and growing.
But when you're about 15-16 years old and the acne is not disappearing and it's getting even worse... That's not normal anymore. The cause may be somewhere else. I've started suffering from acne about six years ago and from day to day I still struggle with that.

Weleda skin care

Get rid of acne, dried skin, pimples and body odor naturally :) Weleda is one of my favourite natural cosmetics brands. You can buy it in almost all drugstores and even some supermarkets, however it's a really high quality cosmetics. Perhaps that's why has been on the market for almost one hundred years! 

Note: On this blog, I would never recommend anything I didn't tried on my own skin.

My Little Miracle For Beautiful Skin

Acne, eczema, oily or super dry skin ... Have you ever dealed with any of these issues? Many people suffer from problematic skin these days. Usually the problem os somewhere inside the body and the skin condition is just like a mirror. But of course, you can also affect your skin health from the outside. For few year until now, my skin's been awful. I was suffering from acne, my skin was very dry, flaky and dull. Now I can finally see a positive change. It's not due to some super expensive cosmetics product of any specifit brand. Nope. My skin actually became better after I said goodbye to all of the cleansing gels, creams, toners ... and I threw them away.

Why Do You Pay For Destroying Your Skin?

Skin protects our body, it separates us from our surroundings. Every day it has to deal with weather and temperature changes, it's exposed to air contaminants ... And we often don't make it easier at all with all the chemicals we put on out face. A year ago I wouldn't believe I could ever give up my store-bought cosmetics and use vinegar and sugar instead. Now I see that was a great decision. What has using natural cosmetics brought me and why you should give it a chance too ?

Dangerous Cosmetics

We get so much dangerous chemicals into our bodies everyday - and very often we don't even know about that. Not only we breathe in the polluted air, and eat chemically treated fruit and vegetables - you can also find it in almost all cosmetics products, foundations, creams, shampoos, toothpasts and so on ...
