My Current Skincare Routine / Favorite Products / Saviors

Let's just sit, relax and listen to Hozier's 'Work Song' on repeat, shall we?

 I decided to show you my updated skin care routine - slash - favorite products, because it has been ages since I did an article about beauty. Well, something changed, something did not. I have to say, right now - my skin is soft as a baby's butt. (haha) I cannot believe it either. I finally found out what types of products my skin likes. You may know I have kind of sensitive complexion. My two problems mostly are - I have oily skin, that means that on my T-zone start to show up some spots, or my skin is too dry. That means I have little flakes on my nose and red cheeks. Not good. However these products make my face look flawless. 

1) Saloos Lavender Hydrophilic Makeup Remover Oil (50 ml)
 The best product ever! It gently removes all of my makeup. It is like magic in the small bottle. The oil nicely soaks into the skin so your face doesn't look like a mirror. (haha) I always just pour a little bit of water on a cotton pad and after that I add only three drops of lavander oil. It does not irritate my eyes, which is really huge plus. 

2) Lush 'Mask Of Magnaminty' (85 ml)

 Once a week I want to spoil myself, relax, regain lost energy. This is the time when it comes to the face mask. My favorite one is 'Mask Of Magnaminty' from Lush. You can use it also as a peeling when you don't have much time, or when you are exhausted and there is a threat you will fall asleep looking like a Fiona. On you couch...or bed...or wherever you lie when you have a face mask on...
 I can deffinitely see the difference after using this product. It may look a little bit odd, however my skin always looks fresh and feels so clean! No more clogged pores.

3) Ayumi Naturals Rose Water (180 ml)

 Rose water is not only great in the kitchen, but also good for you skin. I use it as a toner or as a subtitute for parfume. Is smells like garden full of roses. And spring...or summer. It is one of my must-have products. After using this, my skin looks way more refreshed.

4) La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo[+] (40 ml)

 Recently, I had been looking for the right moistruizer, which fights acne and hydrates at the same time. I can proudly say: I've found one. About a month ago I was scrolling through 'What Olivia Did' blog (One of my fave.) and she had there an article about her favorite skin care products. At that time I was really desperate, because my skin started breaking out again. From that time it stands on my mirror shelve. It helped my complexion so much! Every evening I just squeez a little bit on my index finger, dot it all over my face and blend. It miraculously soaks into my skin in seconds.

5 Tips: How To - Healthy Hair

1) Coconut oil and eggwhite hair mask

 Coconut oil is for me like a gift sent from heaven! From the moment I discovered it I cannot live without it. You can never have enough of coconut oil. In any event, not so long ago, I have learned that eggwhites can also moisturize your hair and make them feel silky an look shiny. This combination is just perfect! I can tell you, I have the most fine, prone-to-damaging and dry hair ever. It is hard for me fo keep my hair moistruized. Since the time I have been using this homemade mask once a week I am telling you, I can definitely see the difference. My hair looks more healthy, shiny and more thick. Despite the fact that it may sound disgusting to you (and the smell), this mask is perfect!

 Melt one teaspoon of coconut oil and mix it with one eggwhite. Then apply all over the entire length of your hair. After that you can put it into a bun (so you do not have eggwhites on your shirt) and leave it there for twenty minutes. All you need to do now is wash your hair normally as you do. Easy!

2) Brush your hair before every washing

 It is very important to brush your hair before washing to prevent from any tangels. After washing your hair will be looking more silky and shiny. I am using my blue Tangle Teezer before I wash my hair  (with my head down) and afterwards (when I release it from the towel turban). I know that people say, that you should not brush your hair when wet, however with Tangle Teezer there is no damage done.

3) Use moistruizing and protecting hair products

 It is important to use the right products for your particular hair typ. I have tried so many hair products - I stopped counting how many years ago.  For me, the hardest task is to find the right shampoo. The one I am using at this moment is DOVE Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo. I actually love Dove products. A few weeks back I realized that I used one of their shampoos in the past, and it suit my hair really well - I LOVED it. So I thought I could repurchuase it - I run out of shampoo anyway - no regrets than. The shampoo contains African Macadamia Oil and that helps my hair to look more moisturized and healthy. It is not a good choise for those of you, who have greasy hair. However it is one of the cheapest shampoos, which will make your dry hair look heilthier. I also purchused conditioner from the same line. 

 Now. Protecting your hair from heat is definitely the most important thing. Especially for those of you, who are using heat tools every day. Sometimes you can see the steam coming out of your hair locks which is being curled/straighten - not good. To keep the moisture in my hair I am mostly using the Schwarzkopf got2b Guardian Angel or Syoss Heat Protect Styling Spray.

4) Dry only the roots of your hair 

 I learned this trick a while back. If you only blow dry the roots of your hair, it will create more volume. The rest of the hair just let dry naturally.

5) No bun, no damage done

When you hair is wet, it is more vulnerable and prone to breakage. I know that having long hair is sometimes uncomfortable, and you just want to put it into a bun. Stop being lazy and leave your hair down. Trust me, the ends of your hair will not be so splitted. And after all, your hair in a bun will not dry anyway.

Do you also have some secret tips, how to keep your hair healthy?

Bratislava // Day Trip (+ BLOGGER OF THE YEAR)

 Last Wednesday me, my mum and my sister went on a trip to the Bratislava. Only for one day, however it was totally worth it! We woke up in the morning, the sky was grey and it seemed like it was going to rain. The perfect day to travel! (haha) We got there about 11:00 am. Our first stop was (because we are girls) Eurovea, which is huge shopping center. When we came near the JOJ TV, my sister fangirled a little bit. I have to say, my first stop was H&M Home. I just wanted to buy everything and take it home with me. I really could not decide what one (or more) to choose to keep me company at home. Meanwhile my mum and sister decided to go for a lunch, but I was so hypnotised, I just stayed there for another ten or fifteen minutes. When I calmed down from excitement a little bit, I decided to look around. I have found this amazing shop "Koton", where I bought a few things. Then went back to the H&M and finally got something I wanted (and needed). I am so pickey, that sometimes it annoyes me too (I feel sorry for my family).

 After my little spree and their lunch we went to the historic city center. The second we walked outside the wind almost blowed us away. It is really fun to watch people fighting with the wind. Hair in they mouths, eyes almost closed...Oh mother nature, you are so powerful!
