The only products I trust on my face from cleanser - toner - serum - moisturizer - sunscreen
I love the way this cleansing balm melts into the skin. I use its cute attached spoon thingy to scoop some out while preparing the bath/shower. I leave it on, then rinse off as a milky liquid. It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or soapy or grea...
3.3 oz Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm - Banila Co | Ulta Beauty
the only soap i use on my face is a rose soap with or without collagen. No additives or extras. 100% natural. I usually get Bioscha or thalia, but prefer any of the handmade ones you find in herbal stores all over Türkiye. Not stripping, nor drying. ...
Gül Sabunu Fiyatları ve Modelleri
I have very sensitive skin and don't wear any makeup. So having fresh, clean, healthy glowing skin is always a top priority for me. When I find what works, I stick with it. I found this Klairs toner 8 years ago and I am yet to use any other toner. It...
Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner
I recently added this to my routine and its been such a different experience. First off, it is not as thick as my go-to Klairs but it works wonders for calming irritation and redness. It is quite mild. Think of it more like a flower essence in toner ...
Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner pH 5.5
I only use The Ordinary Serums on my sensitive skin. The hyaluronic absorbs fast but keeps your skin hydrated for hours. Seal in the moisture with niacinamide/vit c and face cream and you are good to go, Libra. Face Card never declines
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) 23% Off
The only sign you need to go ahead. 5 years on and never trying other brands
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Can you guess my real age? I love the mildness of The ordinary's retinol on my sensitive skin, and it does a very good job of keeping my face looking younger
High-Strength Retinol 1% in Squalane for Fine Lines & Texture
Now this is a mixed recommendation, if you are older 40+, okay this is a powerful serum to fight the signs of aging - smoothening wrinkles and fine lines. Making the skin tighter, plumper and more hydrated. it does a very good job of moisturizing and...
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum
I love the way it gives my face a rosy pink tinge after application then absorbs with a glowy finish. The pink is so cute to apply too. I love it especially for aftersun care.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
If you see me in public transport, just know I apply this once I get home after washing my face. I fell in love with it after being gifted in the store as a bonus for my purchases, and immediately added it to my long Yves shopping list. It smears on ...
Detoxify from pollution - Yves Rocher
I’ve been using Ordinary’s Vitamin C cream for some years now. And it is a mixed review. It sure does some work. But its formulation is quite greasy and leaves a sheen. Also it sometimes leaves little white residues upon reacting with a moisturizing ...
Vitamin C | Shop by Ingredient
added this to my routine about 6 months ago and the lil blue bottle with squeeze drop cap - not this one - is so good. Mildly tingly and I love the way the luminescence helps you track where you haven't received off
L'Oréal - Bright Reveal 12 Percent Niacinamide Dark Spot Serum
I used the natural moisturizer factor cream until I found a more hydrating option. I have highly sensitive combination skin, and this couldn't keep my skin feeling hydrated the entire day. But I loved it when I had no alternatives. And when layered w...
3.3 oz Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturizer - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
this is my best face cream that hydrates my sensitive combination intensely without dryness or clogging. I preferred it to The Ordinary's mosturizing cream which i found a bit granular. This face cream introduced me to the world of Yves rocher and it...
Face Care Products - Yves Rocher
THIS! THIS! THIS! is everything my skin loves for night time sleep. It's a mask plus a serum and cream all in one. The intense hydration lasts for 24hrs after you wake up. Trust me if i have tried it during those weekends that flow into one another. ...
Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum 1 fl. oz
I found Unseen Sunscreen at the same drugstore where I found Klairs for the first time. Bt I have since changed my sunscreen brand. I like Supergoop's sunscreen because it was safe for my sensitive skin, but I still tanned with it. It also wasn't clo...
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 Invisible Sun Protection - Supergoop!
My go-to sunscreen after I moved and couldn't find Goop's unseen. I have both the face and body as regular fixtures in my bag once the summer sun starts to peek. I actually have multiple tubes of the face - the spf 50 in different bags so I don't lea...
Sun Care: Sunscreen, Lotion & Cream - Yves Rocher
Body Love
My straightforward body care set from soaps to creams, and oils
I use Ghanaian Black soap whenever I have the opportunity to visit any of our local markets. It doesn't dry out your skin and is super great for highly sensitive skin. Combine with African sponge for the most soothing exfoliating shower
Benefits of Using African Black Soap
I prefer these natural sponges to the other colored version. Those tend to give me rashes. But these are a bit harsh on the skin, so gentle when you use. However super duper good for exfoliating dead skin cells
Traditional African Sponge | Mintorganiccare Products
This is my alternate black soap. I always stock up when in Lagos or when a friend visits Lagos. I especially love the mini 10-pack it's easy to travel with, and each bar lasts about a month. I love using these especially in late summer when it gets s...
Figtree Brightening Black Soap with Turmeric 100g
If I am to use a bath gel or liquid soap, then I go with marseillas - smells so good. I love the plum, peach, mint, apricot, cocoa. So delicious and non-stripping on the skin. It is so clean and biodegradable
Le Petit Marseillais Body Wash French Cream
But when you want to KICK IT UP A HOT NOTCH layer all the smells in this fragrance line - from the bath to moisturizing to perfume. Baby. Baby. Yum Yum delicious
Yves Rocher Comme une Evidence Shower Gel 200ml
Once you try Loccitane's oil to shower gel formula with its deliciously sweet almond oil, it will be near impossible to turn away. I am very stingy with this and hate to share not even the tiniest drop. I love it that much
L'OCCITANE Almond Shower Oil - 250ML
in order of delicate mosturising and smell, I would got for Vanilla bourbon - thicker, argan - lighter, coconut - not my fave, calendula - mid-level thickness. Combine with the accompanying body wash and deodorant to layer on the smell in such an inv...
Nourishing Body Lotion & Body Oil - Yves Rocher
This is the only body oil I use and can vouch for. Its glimmering residue on your skin leaves you feeling mosturised and glowing like the star in the city night sky - subtle but there on closer examination. I love mixing with body lotion for a layere...
Monoï Oil Yves Rocher
I love mixing this with my lotion and mosturizers in dry season or winter depending on where I am. I find it the only cure for my dry skin's dryness….when i want to take it a step further, I mix yves monoi oil into the jar then slather on with a pump...
Vaseline
yves rocher had a lavender foot cream that would knock me out within 5 minutes of application. It got discontinued and I am yet to find a worthy replacement. If you can still lay hands on some tubes, grab them fast. Most natural and fastest cure for ...
Foot Soothing Iced Gel - Yves Rocher
The only way you're getting a hand cream from me is if I consider you dear to me. And this followed by Loccitaine are my preferred go-to. I find Yves Rocher quite moisturizing. And smells so good. And La Perla is so amazingly delicious
Yves Rocher Plaisirs Nature Hand Creams Kit
Trial Products
I moved countries recently, and had to find more locally available options for some of my skincare products. These are items I am currently testing, and liking. Once I spring for a replacement/refill, they will be added to the main list and my trial ...
The one I have is the 3% active Vitamin C and it feels so goon on my skin. I also really love the fresh smell as it envelops me. It absorbs quickly and non-sticky. I love the way it keeps me hydrated. Next day glow is a surety
Vitamin C Brightening Serum 30ml - Balance Active Formula
I love the light thickness of this, it absorbs so easily and leaves you feeling mosturised. I like the quantity as well, a full pipette covers the face and neck adequately. And it has no weird smell - just clean honest chemical ingredients
TIAM Vita B3 Source Niacinamide 10% + Arbutin 2%
I wouldn't say this is the best sunscreen I have ever used. But it is the most moisturizing sunscreen I have used. If you are in a hot, and humid environment. you'll appreciate the cooling, and moisturizing effect of this sun protection cream. I like...
Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel SPF50+
Okay, first off I am using the Nicotinamide vIT b3 + Bulgarian Rose oil not the Vit C combo. And it smells heavenly. I am a rose girl. So anything real rose makes me and my skin happier. It is thick and absorbs softly leaving a soft sheen on your skin. Does it hydrate as intensely as my monoi oil, I ...
Medix 5.5 Vitamin C And Bulgarian Rose Instant Hydration Oil 200ml
