Avène Eau Thermale

Early in March, during a treatment session, my dermatologist deliberately decided to be cruel with me (just kidding) and apply a bit more glycolic acid on my face than usual. Oh, I wish she never did that! My skin had never been more red, and it burned like never before. I'm usually ready to do everything to get rid of my acne scars, but that time it was just too painful! When I noticed the burning feeling and the redness still hadn't gone away the morning after, I ran to buy the Avène Eau Thermale, or thermal water. I'd heard many good things about this product and my dermatologist had used it on me as well. I definitely was pleased with the purchase: after a few spritzes, my skin felt much better and looked better, too. This simple product -it's just water, after all- managed to calm my skin completely in a few hours and make it less irrritated. 

After that awful experience, I still use this product when my skin has random red patches, or if I have a breakout and I don't want to use anything harsh on it. You can use it to soothe your skin after shaving, as a gentle toner or to brighten your complexion. It's definitely a multi-tasking product!
I highly recommend Avène Eau Thermale to everybody, especially to those who you have sensitive, blemish prone skin. It's targeted to all skin types, it's not expensive and as I've mentioned before it's a very simple product, in the sense that there's not many complicated ingredients in it - just one, water.

Ageless Derma Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream

The team of scientists and researchers behind Ageless Derma has found a way to effectively fight wrinkles and crow’s feet, and created the Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream to help you achieve a youthful, beautiful looking skin. This revolutionary product is the result of years of studies on stem cells, and it doesn not only eliminate facial wrinkles but also gives back elasticity and smoothness to the skin.

As all Ageless Derma’s skincare treatments, the Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream is made from natural, unharmful ingredients, such as Argireline, Matryxil 3000, PhytoCellTeC™, Sodium Hyaluronate, Syn-Coll, Vialox Powder and Coenzyme 10. Argireline attenuates muscle contractions, helping in the reduction of wrinkles in the forehead and eye area. Studies show that after applying Argireline twice a day for 30 days, wrinkles appear 27% less deep in average. Matrixyl 3000 boosts skin elasticity. PhytoCellTec™ is derived from the stem cells of a rare Swiss apple, the Uttwiler Spätlauber, and is known to improve the longevity of skin cells. It also protect the skin from UV rays and helps in DNA reparation. Sodium Hyaluronate has a fundamental importance in keeping the water balance in our skin, and it’s naturally present in our body. With aging, though, the Sodium Hyaluronate level gets lower, so it leaves the skin feeling more dry. The Sodium Hyaluronate 1% present in Ageless Derma’s Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream fights skin dryness by keeping in all the moisture. Syn®-Coll is a peptide that stimulates the production of collagen by 119% in average. In recent studies, Syn®-Coll has improved the appearance of wrinkles by 350% in a 34 days span. Vialox is a pentapeptide which blocks muscle contraction together with Argireline, and as stated in “Dermatologic Therapy1”, it has the same effects as Botox but is not as harmful: while Botox is injected into the skin, Vialox comes in cream form, so it’s much less dangerous and painful. It’s also really efficient in fighting skin roughness. Coenzyme Q 10 (Ubiquinone) is naturally present in our body and it’s an antioxidant which makes the skin keep in moisture; it enhances elastin production and prevents collagen from being damaged.

Ageless Derma’s Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream is a working alternative to Botox: it’s much less expensive, less harmful and more efficient. Moreover, while most of anti-aging skincare products out there contain irritating, harmful chemicals, Ageless Derma Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream only uses organical ingredients and plant extracts, which can do nothing but good things to your skin.

If you no more want to look older than you really are and aim for a youthful and glowy skin, try Ageless Derma’s Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream and get rid of all your wrinkles!

Real Techniques Expert Face brush

Back in February I'd finally bought the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, one of the most raved about products in the beauty blogging community. The Real Techniques line is designed by Samantha Chapman, one of the Pixiwoo girls. I don't own that many make-up brushes, but I think that I won't have to buy any more face ones after gettting the Expert Face Brush. I'm perfectly serious! This brush is the epitome of versatility. It has very thick and dense bristles, which makes it perfect for a flawless application of liquid foundation; it doesn't have a perfectly round shape but it's rather oval, so you can easily put blush on with it or even contour! The bristles are super soft, the handle assures a perfect grip, and it's even flat on the bottom so the brush can stand on a flat surface. It's just so convenient! From my description, you would expect this brush to cost at least as a MAC one, wouldn't you? Well, I only paid £9,99 for it. Amazing, right? I really want to try all the other brushes from the Real Techniques collection, especially the eye ones!

Have you ever tried anything from Real Techniques? What do you think about their products?
