Dr. Organic Deodorant Review

I hope all of you ladies that are reading my post now are feeling good today. Good about the fact that you are a woman, proud of your achievements, and proud to be you!

For today’s review, I have chosen deodorants from Dr. Organic.

For two years now, I have completely stopped using antiperspirants and other pore-clogging deodorants. They are the worst! I remember having coarse and kind of sticky armpits even after taking a shower. I remember how I needed to use a deodorant otherwise after one or two hours I started to stink. I remember how many of my clothes had stains. I remember all of it and I am happy to not deal with it anymore!

My first non-clogging pore deo was Organic Hemp Oil Deodorant from Dr. Organic. Now I am going through my fifth packaging. The product comes in different smells: Hemp, Lavender, Olive Oil, Rose, Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera, and many more. They are lightly scented and free of SLES, aluminium, parabens and alcohol!

I have to admit that when I switched to this deo my body had to adjust and I sweat a little bit more at the beginning. Fortunately, after a while, everything came back to normal, and I do not sweat that much anymore. Of course, if I have a very intense physical activity or I am very very stressed I start to sweat, but I smell with the scent of the deodorant. I used this product when I was in India (35ºC – 38ºC) and Nepal while trekking, and I was totally satisfied with its performance. I did not stink or swim in sweat! What is more important, now, my armpits are smooth and soft. I do not have a feeling of stickiness and coarseness anymore! I love that! I feel like my skin is cleaner and healthier. I regret that I did not switch to a more natural deodorant before. I was afraid that I will sweat too much and stink. If you have the same concerns as I had before DON’T! It is totally worth it! Your skin will thank you for that, you will feel better, and after a while… smell the same as when you were using antiperspirant. I know now, that I will never come back to a traditional deodorant. Actually, I am slowly switching to 100% natural deodorant like a salt stick or salt spray.

The product is available in a sturdy plastic 50ml bottle for 8.59€.

If you are searching for a healthier deodorant that does not clog your pores, Dr. Organic is a perfect alternative, and a good start! I totally recommend it.

Strengthening Hair Serum from Naturtint Review. Is it really natural?

There was a time when I was using plenty of hair products and still my hair was not looking so great. Every two days I was shampooing my hair followed by a rinse off conditioner, and leave on conditioner. After I completely dried my hair with blow-dryer I still had to apply serum mostly in form of an oil. Even though I was using all of these products that suppose to moisturize, rebuild and do all other “magic”, my hair was still looking terrible.

Two years ago, when I decided to switch to more natural and environmentally friendly cosmetics my hair started to regain its vitality and after some time became more strong and shiny. Now, I wash my hair once every three to four days and use only a shampoo, rinse off conditioner and leave on spray from Naturtint.

Something about the brand and the product

The strengthening serum from Naturtint aims to rebuild, strengthen and give shine to hair. The product contains 10% of active ingredients from certified bio farming. Those special ingredients are baobab extract, sunflower floral water, and active vitamin and amino acid complex. The first ingredient is a natural anti-ageing complex and stimulates hair capillaries. The latter one works as a natural split end sealer. The last ingredient repairs hair in general. Naturtint serum as all other products I review on my blog is cruelty-free. Additionally, the product is free from artificial colourants and perfumes, SLS, SLES, parabens and acrylates however it is not 100% natural. The serum contains 97% of natural ingredients.

The 3% include:

  • Palmitamdopropyltrimonium chloride and Quaternium-80 are antistatic agents and hair conditioning agents, have a low overall health hazard.
  • Creatine and Allantoin panthenol are skin-conditioning agents and have a low overall health hazard.
  • Sodium benzoate is a preservative commonly used in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, has a low to moderate overall health hazard, use restrictions in Japan, not suspected to be an environmental toxin, does not accumulate in the environment.
  • Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative, has a low to moderate overall health hazard, can induce allergies, not suspected to be an environmental toxin, does not accumulate in the environment.
  • D-limonene has a low overall health hazard, there is a limit on concentrations that can be used.
  • Linalool and Citronellol are fragrance ingredients, have a moderate health hazard, can induce allergies, there is a limit on concentrations that can be used, not suspected to be an environmental toxin, does not accumulate in the environment.

* data on ingredients sourced from EWG Cosmetics Database

My personal opinion and how the product worked for me

I have used this product on and off for the last year (I have used one bottle). First I am using my shampoo, followed with a rinse off conditioner, at the end I apply Naturtint spray serum and leave my hair to dry naturally. I have to admit that the fragrance is amazing, very floral, even my boyfriend loves it. My hair looks healthier and straighter. The product really works well for split ends. It does not add extra weight to hair even with heavy use of the product. Honestly, I love the product and recently I have even purchased a second bottle, but soon I want to look for something that is 100% natural.

Environmental footprint

+ cruelty-free

+ vegan – no animal byproducts in the ingredients list

+ recyclable PET plastic

+many ingredients come from organic farming

+ 3% of ingredients are not natural but DO NOT have negative impact on the environment

? no information about carbon footprint

 

The product is available in 125ml bottle for 9.99€.

With this review, I wanted to show you that even though the product states to be natural and can be bought in a “natural” shop it does not mean that it is perfect. Even though the product is in 97% natural it still contains few ingredients that MIGHT induce allergies. Anyway, it is way better than other products which contain all bad ingredients and are harmful to our bodies and the environment.

Now it is your decision which products you want to include in your daily hair or skincare routine. Is it enough for you when the product is 97% natural or you opt for 100% only?

Teaology Tea Infusion Shower Gel Review

Few days ago, I received Teaology Black Rose Tea Micellar shower gel as a sample. I just finished my yoga practice and decided to give it a try. The moment I put the product on my body I got amazed!

Something about the brand  and the product

I have heard about the brand a few days ago so I do not know much about it. The only information I could find was that the company is Italian and offers unique skincare line infused with tea. There are many products in the Tea Infusion Skincare line including shower gels, face masks, lotions, moisturizers, bath salts, anticellulite products, masks, scrubs, and hand lotions. There is no end. Each product is formulated without parabens, paraffin, mineral oils, SLS, SLES, artificial colours, and formaldehyde donors. According to the brand, this Black Rose Tea Micellar shower gel can be used as a shower gel or be directly poured into the bath. The secret ingredients are black tea infusion and rose water that have moisturizing and detoxing properties.

My personal opinion and how the product worked for me

There is not much you can really say about shower gel, right? Any product of that kind suppose to clean our body from dirt and sweat and should leave us with a fresh feeling. As something extra, a cosmetic can work on our senses and have a pleasant smell. That is it, nothing complicated! I am that kind of person that does not get crazy about simple products like shower gel. I am more of a hair products crazy person. But this time is different. The first time I have tried this shower gel I felt in love with it immediately! I do not know if it was a consistency or a smell or both, but I know, I am hooked! The consistency is very dense, almost transparent in a form of a gel. It foams very well. I definitely used too much product. When I started to spread the gel on all of my body the smell hit my nostrils. I started to smile and the only thought going through my head was “OMG, OMG! I love this product!” <— I am totally serious, it was exactly like that! After I left the bathroom, my skin felt hydrated and I could smell this amazing scent until I went to bed, which happened at least 4 hours later.

Environmental footprint

+cruelty-free

+not 100% natural but none of the ingredients is toxic for the environment and is not suspected to be persistent and accumulate

-no information if the packaging is recyclable –> probably not

The product is available in the 250ml tube for 16.27€

As I mentioned I am never going crazy about shower gels but I got obsessed with this one. I cannot wait to hit my yoga practice and a shower straight after. I will definitely repurchase this product.

Have a nice Friday evening!

Biotique Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream and Bio Morning Nectar Whitening Lip Balm Review.

Nobody likes the feeling or look of a dry skin. In the winter season, our face and hands are highly exposed not only to cold air and wind but also hot and dry air inside our houses. Is your bed located close to the heater? Maybe you wake up in the morning with dry skin on your face and lips? Even, if most of the time our skin is oily or normal it can happen that we need an extra moisturizer during those winter days.

Today I’ve decided to review Biotique Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream for normal to dry skin and Biotique Bio Morning Nectar Whitening Lip Balm.

I have already reviewed two other products from this brand and I totally love them! Just to remind you Biotique is an Indian brand offering various skincare products e.g. face wash, face toner, moisturizer, lip balm, shampoo, shower gel etc. On each product, it is written that the brand is “based on 5000-year-old Ayurvedic recipes known to integrate and celebrate body, mind and spirit. This is the heritage and harmony of all Biotique products, blending proven Ayurvedic therapies with the science of 21st-century bio-technology“. According to brand’s philosophy, products are not cosmetics but they have therapeutic properties. After all, the ingredients list is very short (5 to 10 ingredients) and none of the product contains  parabens, silicones, phthalates, mineral oils, SLS, SLES etc.

Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream

Because of the harsh weather and dry air in my house recently I got slightly dry patches on my cheeks, under my eyes, and on my forehead. My usual moisturizer was not solving my problems that’s why I reached for Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream. The product contains wheat germ, sunflower and almond oils, vitamins A, B, C, D, E and extracts of carrot and galangal. On the packaging, it is written that the cream moisturizes and strengthens skin for a more vital, resilient, younger appearance.

In general, my skin is normal to oily so I do not know how the product would work on completely dry skin but on mine worked wonders. I applied it only on my cheeks, under eye area, and neck. After a week I had to stop using it on under my eyes because the product is very heavy and potent, and as we know skin around our eyes is very sesnsitive. Basically, the cream was too heavy for me for this part of my face. I continue using this cream on my cheeks and neck and I really love it. I do not wake up anymore with dry skin in the morning and my cheeks are smooth and nourished. Also, I have noticed that the visibility of fine lines on my neck diminished.

The consistency of the product is very thick but smooth. An application is really easy and the product is not sticky. My skin absorbs it very fast. The scent is light and resembles any scent of “winter” creams. The packaging is neat and very sturdy. But what I love the most about it is the hard plastic top (after removing the cap) that protects the product from drying. We all know that natural products have shorter use life after opening so in my opinion, it’s an amazing protection.

The product is available in the 50g container. I bought mine when I was back in India for 230 Indian rupees (around 2.9€), but on their website, you can purchase it for 13.99$ (around 11.5€). The difference is quite shocking, right?

Extra cap protecting products from drying out.

Bio Morning Nectar Whitening Lip Balm

It is and anti-ageing balm that moisturizes and revitalizes lips. It fights collagen loss and fills-in creases to smooth-out dry lines for noticeable smoother, younger looking lips. Additionally, it has SPF 30 UVA and UVB filter.

I have been using this balm for couple of months now and I am thrilled. I have started it when I was trekking in Nepal. The product works perfectly either against the sun or cold weather. It is advertised as an anti aging whitening balm, but for me it works wonders in any harsh conditions. It is very thick but once gets warmed up in your fingers it spreads really smooth on lips. The consistency is thick therefore if you use it too much it leaves a visible white film. If used in smaller amounts it can look like a shiny balm. The product also have an extra top protecting against drying out.

I am not a fan of balms but this one I totally love! It’s universal so you don’t need to spend money on few products. It works in winter and summer! A little bit goes a long way.

The lip balm comes in 12g packaging and in India it costs 175 Indian rupees (2.2€) whereas on their website it’s 12.99$ (10.7€). Delivery available worldwide.

I love both products, but after a winter time, I don’t really see a purpose to use this night cream since my skin is normal to oily. If you have a dry skin I’m sure you will love the product so I really recommend it. On the other hand, I totally love the lip balm and I am definitely going to repurchase it!

What about you? Does your skincare routine change during winter season? Do you use different products? Let me know in comments.

 

Have a nice evening.

Natural and organic cosmetics? What does it really mean?

You are standing in between shelves in the local drugstore or scrolling down green webshop and thinking which cosmetics should you choose?

Natural?

Organic?

Vegan?

Cruelty-free?

You are racking your brain what do all these names mean? Don’t worry! I am here to help you.

Natural

In the perfect world, it would mean that a cosmetic contains only natural ingredients and that their molecular structure has not been changed due to any chemical modifications. Actions that preserve a natural state of an ingredient include distillation, maceration, solvent extraction and squeezing.

Unfortunately, the world is not perfect and the word “natural” is abused by beauty brands. The term is not really regulated therefore to truly know if a product we hesitate to buy is natural we have to study the ingredients list.

Some companies state that their product is natural even though it contains parabens, silicones and all other chemicals. However, there are some “good” brands that try to ease our shopping struggle and write in what percentage their product is natural. You can find percentages starting even at 88% and finishing at 99.9%. But do not get fooled! Even if the product is 98% natural it does not mean that it cannot contain silicone. My advice? ALWAYS read the ingredients list.

Organic

It simply means that the plant ingredients were grown using organic farming practices. Organic farming is an agricultural system where food production is based on naturally occurring biological processes. Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are prohibited.

There are few certificates that ensure that the product is organic (about certificates in the next post).

 

Vegan

Vegan cosmetics are those that do not contain animal products or byproducts. The most common examples are stearic acid (substance taken from a pig’s stomach), lactic acid (found in blood and muscle tissue) or beeswax (melted honeycomb).

 

Cruelty-free

If you love and care about animals you should always buy cruelty-free certified products. You might be surprised how many different products are tested on animals before being allowed to the market. It is not only our cosmetics but also household cleaning products, tissues, band-aids, condoms, washing powder and softener, and even a post-it notes. Basically, every product that might have longer contact with human skin can be tested on animals.

Next time, think twice before reaching for something. You do not want to have innocent animals on your conscience, do you?

 

 

So what is gonna be your next choice? Natural? Organic? Vegan? Cruelty-free? Or maybe all in one?

Weleda Bath milk review

img_0435-1.jpg

It’s Friday evening and you are tired after all the week?

This day like no other is perfect to take a relaxing bath. You can use salts, oils, milk or bath bombs.

I don’t know about you but I love baths! It’s my time. Time with my thoughts, wine, and music.

Today, I will review bath milk from Weleda.

All the products offered by the company are cruelty-free, non-toxic, paraben-free, synthetic fragrance-free, SLS-free, and GMO-free. They offer a wide range of cosmetics including face, baby, body, and personal care products.

The Arnica Sport Bath Milk is recommended for active people since it helps in recovery of your muscles. It has soothing and calming effects on your body. The brand offers various scents of their bath milks. Sport bath version is available only in Arnica scent. The product is 100% natural and certified.

After filling all my bathtub with water I added 2 to 3 caps as specified on the packaging. The scent is really strong and does not remind of any of my other “sweet” baths. The smell is strong and herbal. At the beginning, I was not convinced to this smell but after a while I really liked it. It felt like I am giving my body and my senses special therapy. It is probably just me, but every time I am using cosmetics that have a really strong herbal smell I fell like it is a medical treatment.

The milk does not make any foam as visible in the picture but it is definitely taking away the stress and reduce tightness in your muscles.

The product comes in 200ml and costs 13.79€.

So who is ready to take a bath tonight? I am heading to take mine. Enjoy your Friday evening.

Beauty Kitchen Seahorse Plankton BB Cream Review

Recently, I go for more natural makeup or no makeup look at all. That is why Seahorse Plankton Beauty Boosting BB Cream from Beauty Kitchen is one of my favourite products now!

Beauty Kitchen claims that seahorse plankton as one of  the ingredients improves production of collagen and protects against environmental damage. The product blurs imperfections creating an even skin tone and blends perfectly to match all skin tones and types. It is 100% natural, sustainably sourced, and suitable for vegans (cruelty-free). Moreover, for all of us green freaks, Beauty Kitchen states that the packaging has neutral carbon footprint, which I totally love!

The product has light consistency and spreads easily on a face. You can use it after moisturizer or instead. I use it after my moisturizer or sunscreen because the product sits better and more even on my skin, plus I find it easier to apply. The color of the cream is orange, but do not get scared. Once applied on a face it really adjusts and blends with your natural skin tone. At the moment of application, the smell is very strong, but it fades immediately leaving that fresh feeling. The product gives me summer sunkissed look slightly blurring my pores (which are not so big anyway) and small redness.

Honestly, I cannot say a bad word about this product. Since I have stopped applying foundation on my skin I cannot get over this BB cream! No powder, highlighter or any of today’s hyped makeup products! I love how naturally and effortless I look using this product. I am already in the middle of my second bottle and definitely, will purchase this product in the future.

The product is available in 30ml packaging for 14.99 €.

I am faithful to my product but do you have your favourite BB Cream? Or do you prefer to use foundation in your makeup routine? Let me know in the comments.

Symbols on Cosmetic Labels Decoded

You are on your way to lower your environmental footprint of cosmetic products. Last week you have committed to reduce your water and energy use. How is it going? Have you noticed some changes? Is it challenging? I bet it might be difficult to suddenly change your old habits but what we won’t do for the sake of our planet.

What now? Are you ready to take next step?

You probably hope that it is a time to go shopping. Well… Not yet! Before getting into shopping fever I want you to know all basics. That way you will have some background and you will not make mistakes and buy products that are not really environmentally friendly. You have to realize that today’s market demand for green beauty products is huge. Often, many brands use that to increase their profits by calling themselves natural even though their cosmetics still contain chemical ingredients. But that is a subject for a separate post.

If you have followed my tips and red labels of cosmetic products you might notice that except ingredients list there are several symbols on packaging. They can give you an indication is good for you and the environment in the situation when you do not know all the ingredients or are not completely sure about them.

  • “12M” defines for how many months you can use the product after its opening e.g. 36months, 12 months, 3 months etc. Products that are 100% natural can be used mostly for 3 to 6 months whereas cosmetics packed with chemical conservatives have a longer shelf life of up to 36 months.
  • “PET”, “HDPE”, “PP”, “LDPE”, “OTHER” or “ALU” symbols mean that the packaging is made out of plastic and can be recycled to produce lower grade products. A number and letters describe the type of plastic and the way it can be recycled. Not all recycling facilities can recycle every type of plastic. If you already decide to buy a product in a plastic container opt for “PET 1” since it is recycled in most facilities. The last symbol “OTHER 7” has traditionally not been recycled. Symbol “ALU” represents recyclable aluminium.

img_0320.jpgimg_0340img_0338-1img_0330img_0336img_0332

  • Bunny. Today there are many “cruelty-free” symbols however not all of them mean that the product is truly not test on animals. In European Union the only valid symbol that confirms that the company did not tested the cosmetic or its ingredients on animals is “Leaping Bunny” symbol (on the right). Other symbols mean that the company might still test their products or ingredient on animals. The only limitation is that they cannot do these tests or sell these products in European Union.
  • “DO NOT LITTER” simply reminds you to handle your waste consciously and choose proper disposal.
  • “Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans” means that the product was neither tested on animals nor contains animal products e.g. honey.

  • Two arrows in a circle is a symbol used in Europe and it indicates that the manufacturer pays a recovery and recycling organization to oversee ecologically responsible management of their packaging waste.

img_0323

  • “15-25 degrees” in order to keep all cosmetic properties the company advise you to store the product in the temperature range specified in the symbol.
  • “e” is used in European Union and it indicates that the average volume or weight of products is exactly the same as the number on the label.

img_0326.jpg

Image result for e symbol

  • Flame symbol warns you that the product is highly flammable (mostly deodorants, hair sprays) and you should keep it away from flames or high heat.

Image result for flame symbol

  • “EAC” – the manufacturer indicates the conformity of the product with the basic requirements according to the applicable technical regulations.
  • “ISO 9001” or “ISO 14001” describe management practices of the company. ISO 9001 indicates that the company delivers consistent performance and takes care of its employes. ISO 14001 outline environmental management system and it helps improve the environmental performance of the company through the use of resources and reduction of waste.

Now when you will go to the store you will finally know what all these symbols really mean. Not all symbols describe if the product is environmentally friendly but definitely some of them will help you make more conscious shopping decisions. Besides aforementioned symbols, there are also plenty of certification but this topic I will cover another time.

How to start your transition towards lowering your beauty environmental footprint?

You made your decision, and now you are all about the environment? You are done with cosmetic products that not only can be harmful to your body but also to nature?
Congratulations! You are past step one. What’s next?

You might be tempted to throw your old cosmetics away and get into natural shopping fever. Let me stop you right there! Following environmentally friendly beauty regimen is not only about using natural non-toxic products, but also using less of everything in general.

If you really want to lower your environmental footprint you have to start from the beginning. Be honest with yourself and think how much water do you use grooming yourself in the morning and taking a shower or a bath in the evening. Do you have an estimation? It’s a lot. Am I right? In the next coming days, try to lower it down. Here are few tips that you can implement in your life right now!

1) Whenever you’re brushing your teeth close the tap and fill the cup with water for rinsing. You use more water, if you rinse your mouth by collecting it into your hands and leaving the water run in between. You might just save one cup per brushing, but on a scale of a year if you brush your teeth twice daily it’s already 91 litres.

2) Take shorter and colder showers. You will not only use less water but also less energy to warm it up. Your water and energy bills will be lower. In a scale of a year, you might save pretty high amount! Moreover, your skin will have better blood circulation and will look more firm. Your body will thank you for that.

3) Tomorrow it’s Saturday and you don’t have any plans? Don’t wash your hair, and if you already do, limit the use of a hair-dryer. Your hair will rest from excessive heat, and again you will lower your water and energy use. Do you want to go step further? Try to wash your hair in the evening, and let them dry naturally. Extra tip: They will dry faster if you will sit on the floor around the heater. Plus, it’s good to have a natural look once in a while, right?

4) Study your products. Before buying anything new, check your bathroom cabinets. Check brands you are using, read the ingredients list on products. Maybe already there are some products in your cabinet that are free from silicones, parabens or other toxic chemicals. If you will study cosmetics you already have, it will be easier to avoid those “bad guys” in the future.

5) Do not throw away your current cosmetics into the garbage! If you do it chemicals will end up in the environment anyway. Moreover, the energy and water were already used to produce these products. It’s better to slowly use it till the end. Or, if you really don’t want to use any bad products give it to somebody or check if there is a place where you can recycle them in your neighbourhood.

When you are successful with all of these steps you can move further. You probably already know to avoid parabens, silicones, aluminium or phthalates in your beauty products. But believe me, there’s more! Take your time! Research those ingredients, what they really do to you and the environment. Find new brands that have in their offer natural, organic and cruelty-free lines. Learn the difference between being natural and organic. Discover certifications.

I’ve told you… There’s a lot to learn, and the transition towards low environmental footprint can be long, but it’s worth it!

I hope I helped you a little bit. In the next posts, I will elaborate more on the issues mentioned in this post. Don’t worry, I will not leave you alone. If you’ll lett me I’ll help you transition with me.

Remember, slow but consistent actions are the most effective!

Have a relaxed weekend!
Yours environmentally friendly friend,

Valentine’s Day. Hej organic face mask review

Do you have plans for tonight, want to look fresh with a lot of energy but don’t have much time to get ready?

A face mask is always a good idea!

It does not matter which one you gonna choose. A face mask will always give you that extra glow and (at least) impression of fresher looking skin.

Today, I’ve decided to try one of my new masks from Hej Organic. It’s Valentine’s Day, so I wanted to look bright and full of energy in the evening. I tested the “go glow” mask. The brand states that the mask is a must-have for a flawless complexion, it gives power and energy. Perfect! I thought. I’ve red everything written on the packaging (I love to do that ❤️) and was hoping that cistus, rose 🌹 , pineapple 🍍, grapefruit 🍇 and argan oil will give me the boost to my tired from winter air skin. All ingredients should moisturize, smooth, soften and give fresher look to my skin.

I hold the mask for a little bit more than 15 minutes. The scent was strong rose. After I took off the mask, my skin was slightly glowing. Circles under my eyes (I don’t have to dark or too big) got a little brighter. Definitely, my skin got more flawless. At the beginning, I thought the effect was not amazing. I felt like it was another average sheet mask. Nothing more, nothing less. But, when I looked in the mirror around 45 minutes after I used the mask, I could really see my skin glowing. I’m not talking about slight glow. I was really radiant! At first, I couldn’t believe it, but even my second half noticed that. Moreover, when I touched my face it was so smooth and soft! I was positively shocked. Well done Hej Organic!

Sadly, I didn’t like the sheet. I’ve tried a lot of different sheet masks and always they were perfectly cut that I could easily put them on my face. Unfortunately, not with this one. 🙁 I had problem to put the mask around my nose and under my eyes. I’ve tried really hard to adjust the mask, but every time I placed it nicely on one side of my face, the other was getting wrinkly and didn’t touch my skin.

I was really excited to try this mask especially that I love to try new brands that DO care about the environment! I was happy that the product contains organic ingredients, it’s vegan, cruelty-free and the sheet is made from 100% organic cotton. Plus, the company is located country next to mine, so the carbon footprint is not that really big.

All in all, I have to admit that ingredients worked very good and my skin looked brighter, more radiant and less tired. However, I want my sheet mask to fit very well to my skin. After all, active ingredients get into our skin easier thanks to the sheet.

Nevertheless, you have to remember that everybody has different face shapes, so if you really want to try it go ahead! Maybe it was just me and the mask will fit your face perfectly.

Anyway, it’s Valentine’s Day today and I am sending all the love to you all! ❤️❤️❤️ Spend and amazing evening, and make the Valentine Day aura an every day habit, not just a one-day event.
