Lady taking your bath

Taking your bath in the morning has different health benefits which you might be overlooking. Here are reasons why you should have your bath in the morning.


Skin Care Improvements


While it is critical to remove the day's makeup, oil, dirt, and pollutants before bed, if you only cleanse your face and body at night, you are missing a trick. stimulating skin cells in the morning by cleansing and massaging the face with warm water is also critical – especially for oily or acne-prone skin.



Cortisol Levels Are Reduced


Taking a morning bath allows you to meditate and regroup before beginning a hectic day. It is a period of mindfulness that can help maintain healthy cortisol levels – the body's stress hormone.

Our cortisol levels rise naturally in the early hours of the morning, peaking around 8 a.m., in the ideal situation. However, when we are stressed, cortisol levels can spike abnormally high, causing us to wake up before our alarm or to wake up already feeling anxious. Along with attempting to eliminate stressors from your life, a relaxing morning bath may help lower those skyrocketing cortisol levels and help you begin your day in a more relaxed state of mind.

Makeup applications should not result in outbreaks. However, if brushes are not cleaned consistently, applying cosmetics may cause more harm than good. Dirty brushes can store bacteria that can be transferred to the skin and result in eruptions of acne.

Not only are filthy bristles unpleasant for the skin, but they're also hard on brushes. Makeup residue can eventually deteriorate the fibers. As a result, clean, well-maintained brushes will last longer than ones that are not cleaned regularly.

Additionally, clean bristles perform better than filthy ones. Brushes with a thick coating hinder powders from dispersing evenly across the face. When makeup is applied with clean bristles, it applies more evenly.

Makeup brushes should be cleaned every one to two weeks to maintain skin clear, safeguard the quality of the brushes, and promote even powder application. Clean and disinfect brushes with a homemade solution.



Ingredients


1 and a half cups distilled water
rubbing alcohol 2 tbsp
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons castile soap
20 drops tea tree essential oil
Vitamin C is a dermatologist-recommended component with scientific backing that may help decrease the onset of early skin aging, prevent UV damage, and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne.

Vitamin C is a dermatologist-recommended component with scientific backing that may help decrease the onset of early skin aging, prevent UV damage, and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it combats damaging free radicals (toxins) that come into contact with your skin from external sources such as air pollution or from within the body as a result of regular metabolic processes. Free radicals can cause damage to the skin, and topical vitamin C can help battle free radicals and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.


Skin benefits of vitamin C

Vitamin C has been shown in a few clinical tests to improve wrinkles. Daily usage of a vitamin C formulation for at least three months enhanced the appearance of fine and coarse wrinkles on the face and neck, as well as the texture and appearance of the skin overall.

When combined with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, vitamin C may also help protect the skin from damaging UV rays. Combining vitamin C with other topical compounds, such as ferulic acid and vitamin E, has been demonstrated in clinical studies to help reduce redness and protect the skin from long-term damage caused by damaging sun rays.

Additionally, vitamin C can help lessen the appearance of black spots in our skin by inhibiting the synthesis of pigment. Although the majority of patients in clinical trials reported improvement in their dark spots with no discomfort or side effects, additional research is needed to establish vitamin C's brightening effects.

Additionally, topical vitamin C can aid in the treatment of acne due to its anti-inflammatory effects, which aid in the regulation of sebum (oil) production in the skin. Vitamin C treatment twice a day reduced acne lesions in clinical trials when compared to a placebo. While no major adverse effects associated with vitamin C use were observed in any of these studies, it is crucial to keep in mind that there are only a few clinical trials examining the effects of vitamin C, and additional research is necessary to corroborate the data presented here.

 Pillowcase weekly  hygiene

Beddings

Do you want to have flawless facial skin and glow? then you need to keep in mind that your beddings should be a very big part of your skincare routine. You buy the good products, spend lots of money and lay your head on a dirty pillowcase, well you aren't getting anywhere with that, which brings us to the big question could your pillowcase be a contributing reason to your acne?

And if you think washing your sheets once a week is excessive, wait till you hear how frequently you are supposed to wash pillowcases.


Perhaps you picked at a pimple, underwent surgery, or scraped your knee. Now you're left with a scar–an unsightly reminder of the skin injury–and you wish it would fade away soon.

Therefore, let us examine how a scar forms. Then it will be clear how to minimize the appearance of a scar.


What Causes the Formation of a Scar?

When your skin is injured, your body heals in four distinct phases:

Hemostasis is the process of forming a blood clot in order to halt the flow of blood.

Inflammation develops as a result of the body producing chemical signals at the site and the area's blood vessels dilate. This brings nutrients and inflammatory cells into the wound to aid in healing.

New blood vessels develop during the proliferation phase to replace injured ones. This is referred to as angiogenesis.

This brings nutrients and inflammatory cells into the wound to aid in healing.

Fibroblasts migrate to the wound site and secrete collagen, the proteins that give the growing scar tissue its shape (initially called granulation tissue). Collagen accumulation generally peaks three weeks into wound healing. Additionally, 

The ultimate process is remodelling (or maturation). During this time period, granulation tissue develops into scars. Changes in the wound region allow the collagen fibres to lay closer together, resulting in a thinner scar. The scar's strength reaches its greatest level at the conclusion of this collagen organization process, which takes about six months. When the amount of collagen in the skin is insufficient, the remodelling process may result in a concave, or pitted, scar. If there is an excessive amount of collagen, a raised scar may result. The scar may take up to two years to mature completely. This is frequently measured by the degree of redness resolution in the scar tissue.

Rosehip oil has been utilized for millennia by Native Americans and ancient civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians for its therapeutic qualities. Its reputation as a key component for a radiant complexion has increased in recent years.

Let's go deeper into the uses and advantages of rosehip oil and why you may want to incorporate it into your beauty routine as well.

What Is Rosehip Oil Used For?

Rosehip oil is extracted from the fruit of the rose shrub, the rosehip. The fruit resembles a bulb that develops now at the base of a blooming rose blossom. The rosehip continues to develop when a flower falls off.


The biggest organ in the human body, the skin, is continuously exposed to the environment. What is going on inside us is reflected in our skin. Because the skin is made up of cells that are continually regenerating, you must eat the appropriate nutrients to keep your cells healthy. Use nutritional supplements to add radiance to your skin, especially during the summer. 5 ways to help your skin stay radiant all the time 

All cells require vitamins and minerals to replicate and repair DNA in the case of damage. Keep in mind that you are exposed to solar radiation while outside in the sun. To deal with the damage produced by continuous sun exposure, your cells require proper nutrition. Here are 5 nutritional supplements to help you keep your skin looking beautiful and glowing at all times.



Biotin
Biotin, often known as vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that aids in the production of glucose, a sugar that provides energy to cells. It is also in charge of amino acid metabolism and fatty acid synthesis in order to keep the structure of skin cells intact. Dry, flaky skin, redness around the eyes, nose, and mouth, and hair loss are all symptoms of low biotin levels.

Antibiotics and medical conditions might prevent nutrients from being absorbed in the intestines, resulting in biotin deficiency. Biotin levels can be raised with the aid of supplements. A daily dose of 5 mg of biotin can assist restore normal biotin levels by helping your skin cells to generate lipids that protect them from inflammatory damage from the environment.

I decided to change my body cream in summer and I am loving the feeling. The body cream I use in winter was a bit heavy for my skin in summer so I switched to Mixa intensive care dry skin. Tho on this cream it is written Rich body milk, intense nourishment, dry and very skin but it suits the weather perfectly. I wanted a cream that won't make my skin or so oily. It suits my skin in summer but in winter it will be too dry for my skin. The effect lasts for 24hrs as it nourishes your skin intensively to prevent dryness. 

 Menopause brings about a variety of changes to your skin, one of which is breakouts. You may be curious as to why this is happening and what you can do about it.

During menopause, many women experience changes in their skin. For some women, this means dry skin, age spots, or a bruising tendency. Others see a decline in estrogen levels while male hormone levels, such as testosterone, stay constant, resulting in acne breakouts.

While you may be tempted to reach for teen acne remedies, your skin may not be able to take these harsh treatments as well as it did when you were younger. Look for products that can help clear your pores without overdrying your skin, such as those containing salicylic acid. If your acne isn't responding to therapy, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.


A good skincare routine that doesn't disturb your skin so much can help skin problems and also delay the natural aging process. 

1. Protect your skin from the sun

Protect it from the sun. It is one of the most important ways to cake for your skin. Sun exposure causes wrinkles, age spots, and other skin problems — as well as increases the risk of skin cancer.

To protect your skin from the sun you sun protection:

Use sunscreen. Protects Your Skin from UV Rays. The depletion of the ozone layer has increased our risk of sun damage from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen blocks these rays, greatly reducing the likelihood of sunburn, wrinkles, and damage to skin cells.

Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. #mayoclinic

Use hats


Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays. #mayoclnic




Finding the right cream formula for your skin type takes time sometimes. When skincare awareness became a song on the media I didn't really focus on it. I used any product with beautiful labels and nice scents but the result started to play out sooner than I never expected. I use to just walk into any store and purchase any cream, I didn't know the importance of sticking to one product that works well on my skin.

I started battling with dry skin and it started to give me concern. I wanted to find a product that will work on my skin, I also wanted a product I can get at any time without having to preorder, or plan so much before purchasing. When making a particular product your product of choice accessibility should always be put in check.

MAY face маска для обличчя Очищуюча bubble mask


I couldn't perform my weekend facial routine because I was so busy. Today I will be sharing a brand I have used before but with a slightly different product.

Honestly, there is no difference in effect between the May face wowi oxy bubble facial mask and this Bubble 02 oxygen mask. The only difference is that the oxygen mask foams more bubbles than the wowi mask.

If you would like to know more about the Mayface facial mask read on.


According to the brand: The oxygen mask MAYFACE is designed to thoroughly care for your skin. It is formulated with milk proteins for intense hydration and softening. Liquorice root extract quickly and permanently soothes the skin, relieves redness, and smoothes peeling. After application, oxygen is released from the active agent and turns the composition into a thick foam. The mask promotes deep cleansing of the skin, minimizing pores. The oxygenated product helps to facilitate cellular respiration, improves skin elasticity, and rejuvenates it.
Тканевая маска с экстрактом кокоса Bonnyhill Coconut Mask Pack.

I am having a lazy Saturday. I was working on the blog, I needed to fix some things and so I ended up going to bed very late. My Saturday routine is a must so I got up and applied my facial mask.

Today I am using the Bonnyhill coconut moisturizing mask pack. The mask isn't so fitted on my face but it is better than a lot I have used in the past. When I applied the mask on my face it felt cold. It is said that coconut oil is easily absorbed into the skin, and provides moisture and nourishment which the skin needs. Tho, generally, it helps to keep the skin healthy.

The instruction on the mask says: After using your face, use a toner to prepare your skin. Apply the mask sheet on your face leave it for 10-20 mins and pat leftover essence lightly until fully absorbed.

What I did: After applying the masking for about 20 minutes, I removed the facial mask and used the sheet to scrub my face, slightly massaging my face to increase blood circulation.

КОЛЛАГЕНОВАЯ МАСКА ДЛЯ ЛИЦА "ЭКСТРАКТ КРАСНОГО ЖЕНЬШЕНЯ" VIA BEAUTY FACE COLLAGEN MASK

COLLAGEN FACE MASK "RED GINSENG EXTRACT" VIA BEAUTY FACE COLLAGEN MASK.


I had a very stressful week, I did a lot of impromptu things that affected my mood and appearance. I am happy I can finally sit down and share the beauty mask I am using this weekend. As I write, my eyes are swollen with eye bags. I have been itching to use a mask before I start breaking out due to the extreme stress.

Today, I am using the Viabeauty collagen series. This mask was all I needed this Saturday to refresh my skin. This beauty mask does not really do much with deep cleansing so it is better to wash your face before using it. This mask gives your skin the soft and shiny look it needs. It contains a natural extract that has an instant refreshing effect. I like my skin's shine and soft appearance after I used the mask. Using a mask is a beauty care procedure that provides additional nutrition and hydration of the skin.



PS: I recommended this facial mask for daily use.

According to the brand:
This mask is said to have natural extracts that saturate the epidermis with useful microelements, giving the face a natural glow and a rested look. The tool has an instant tonic and pleasant refreshing effect. The active formula of the mask contains the healing extract of red ginseng, which activates the skin regeneration process and improves blood microcirculation, maintains optimal epidermal moisture balance, smoothes out fine wrinkles, and prevents premature aging.

  •  


How to use:

 Apply the mask to cleansed skin for 20 minutes, then remove the mask and wash with warm water. It is recommended to apply the mask daily for 12 days as a start-up routine, then one mask per week.

You can purchase this mask from Makeup.ua, prostor, Eva, and avacado.ua if you are in Ukraine. In other countries in Europe, you can purchase from any drugstore.





It is a beautiful Saturday morning and I am excited to start my Saturday facial routine. Using a mask has become one of the most effective and easy ways to keep my skin glowing and acne-free. During weekdays I stress a lot and stress easily shows on our skin. Stress increases cortisol production from the adrenal glands, which in turn increases sebaceous gland activity, to produce more oil and sebum which is not healthy for our skin.

Using the facial peel-off mask to correct the outcome of stress on my skin is very effective and can be done twice every week. In today's beauty mask Saturday session, I am using the bio gold cleaning film mask by via beauty.


This gold mask by Via Beauty helps to cleanse, narrow the pores, and smooth the skin giving it freshness. Bio-gold acts as a unique conductor of nutrients, helping them to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, increasing the speed of cell division, and stimulating the production of natural collagen. The mask gives the skin a younger look while eliminating wrinkles, it saturates the skin with moisture and oxygen and activates cellular processes. After the first application, the skin looks more fresh and toned.

Selfie Project #Shine Like A Star Mask Treatment That Will Make Your Skin Glow. 

Good morning from this part of the world. I woke up, said a little prayer and I am up and thankful for being alive. I woke up to a bit of dry skin but it is Saturday and just like I wrote in my previous article about the bubble mask, I started a weekly routine to use facial mask twice every week and so far I have been keeping to that.

Todays, face mask introduction is the Cleansing peel-off *Star* mask which has a unique combination of amazing brilliance and spectacular effect. Deeply cleanses the skin, unclogs and tightens pores, and reduces sebum production. It contains bioactive charcoal which absorbs impurities and toxins, leaving skin clean and naturally matt.

The application is very easy, tho I used my hand to help regulate and circulate it to the right areas of my face. It doesn't take long to dry off and give that shiny effect. The glitters in the mask make it even more fun to apply.





Five hits of this mask
1. It peels easily and doesn't aggressively adhere to the skin.
2. The mask has a good smell.
3. The glitters do not itch or stick to your face.
4. It cleanses deeply.
5. Perfect for an after selfie look.

RATE THIS MASK FROM 0-5, with 5 being the highest.


I just added a beauty bubble face mask to my beauty routine. I am trying not to push my face too hard but the product reviews keep coming in and I get to wear makeup more often these days. Well, I tried a mask that I like. I didn't know what to expect at first but I liked the after effect and feeling on my skin.






Taking care of your skin is more than just not applying makeup. During this lockdown, there are lots of factors that can influence your skin appearance. I am busy during this lockdown but I try to take good care of my skin even when I decide not to bath very early in the morning since I am not going out.


My lockdown daily skincare routine.

1. No makeup all day, only when needed
Morning
  • I Clean my face with wet wipes
  • Wash my face and apply very little coconut oil with Nivea cream moisturizer.
  • I Take my bath by noon. I apply very little coconut oil and Nivea cream moisturizer.
  • At night I clean my face and apply Nivea cream moisturizer.
2. Eating good food can help your skin.
I love eating and during this lockdown, I eat in between meals but that isn't so good. It is good to eat healthily and avoid eating late at night. Simple carbohydrates like the refined sugar found in most cakes, cookies, candy, and non-diet soft drinks cause insulin levels to spike and create a wave of inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation leads to a breakdown in collagen and elastin, the fibers that give skin its elasticity and strength.


3. Stress and depression caused by restricted movement, less activeness at home, and fear.
Are you aware that stress is a big enemy of our skin because stress tells a lot about our skin? As humans, when we stress, it causes our body to produce hormones like cortisol, which signals glands in our skin to produce more oil. Oily skin is more prone to acne and other skin problems. Stress can also make skin problems worse. Just try to relax your mind and enjoy the moment, do something that makes you happy, be positive, and stay active at home. Part of my skincare routine is staying happy.

Everyone's skin is different and unique. Not every skincare product recommended by another person might work for you so it is better to study the skincare market and know what works for you before purchasing at random. I haven't struggled with my skin for long, I can't remember the last time I had a proper skin breakout. Just go with the flow but make sure your skin is dirt-free at all times. We are all home and very relaxed, but that doesn't mean we should ignore our daily skincare routine. Whether you go out or not your skin produces oil and also dirt and dust settle on your skin which can cause break out and other skin problems if you do not wash and clean your face properly. 


I use a few products which include Goli nutrition supplements which I will be reviewing soon and how it has helped my skin so far. I am not all about the perfect skin, I am not freaked about having the best skin, I do my best by taking care of my skin and I try not to disturb my skin with lots of products. Some people use almost every product they read about online or see a YouTuber review. Trying out products isn't bad but not all products are going to work for your skin so I recommend that you visit a dermatologist if you are facing severe skin issues for guidance, proper medication, and product prescription to avoid making mistakes. Tho, there are products you can try on your own but make sure you read the content of any product before using it if you do not know about a particular ingredient check for it online. 
Anyone visiting Nigeria yet? well whether you are visiting or you are living in Nigeria you need to get the Isana white body creme. Nigeria happens to have one of the best weather conditions I have ever experienced. We have different seasons which includes the rainy season and dry season. We are currently experiencing the rainy season which is not my favourite season. Some states experience heavy rain pour while some experience mild rain pour. I am currently in Abuja which experiences heavy rainfall and sunshine. When it is not raining, the sun is all out playing and so due to the weather change the type of body cream you use on your skin is very important.



Talking about moisturizers, I haven't really used a lot because I try to narrow the kinds of products I use to brands that are more trusted and contain the right contents in the correct proportion. I was introduced to this facial moisturizer by a friend, and it became a game-changer. I hardly pay attention to my skin, but recently more efforts have been channeled into mild skin routines, and the outcome is worth sharing.

Routine: I wash my face with a mild baby soap or face wash. I allow my face to dry with natural air, and after drying, I apply the Ziaja moisturizing cream and cocoa buttercream. Massage the cream in a delicate way.

Ziaja Light formula cream with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E (I recommend for dry skin). This happens to be my favorite product from the brand. This face cream is very useful, and this brand has different products that I use. I might not be able to review or share them on my platform, but you can find them online and at any cosmetic store near you. Cocoa butter is generally good for the skin as it nourishes it because it contains antioxidants. It provides the skin with beneficial nourishing elements that keep the skin moist and bright all day.

Revitalization: After the night wash, I apply it to my skin, and in the morning, my skin looks healthier and smoother. There is a general improvement in the appearance of my skin. It reduces skin irritation but does not exactly remove spots. If you have spots, they start looking faded after long use of this face cream. This product is also said to help prolong a natural tan.

Ziaja Cream For Face and Body

Ziaja Natural Olive Cream (which I recommend for oily skin). The texture feels a little different from the cocoa butter formula. It has a lighter feel and dries up faster. Helps to maintain optimal moisture levels. Softens and smooths the skin. Ensures an immediate soothing action. Paraben-free.

Key Ingredients: Olive Oil, Shea Butter.
Apply a small amount of cream and smooth it over with a delicate patting motion. It is recommended as a makeup base.

I have been able to stick to my night and morning routine, though sometimes I get really lazy, and I am sure you all can relate.

Note: Please recommend any spot-removing product. Drop the purchase link or product name below.
