The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Luminous Skin

Yes, we know, the beauty world has become so demanding. It seems like every day there is a new launch of a new product, whether a beauty or skincare ones. It’s hard to keep track of the news, let alone purchase all these products and actually play with them. It would quite literally take up your entire day. There are products out there that we don’t even know what they do – like the mysterious SK-II. Yes, ladies, the skincare industry has certainly upped the ante. However, that definitely doesn’t mean that we should go and follow every skincare fad out there.

Indeed, it’s great that the formulas are more effective and provide better results, but you definitely don’t need everything that appears on the skincare counters. Believe it or not, there is a way for you to have an absolutely healthy and radiant skin using minimum effort. This approach to skincare is popularly referred to as ‘minimalistic skincare’, so if anyone asks, you’re not a lazy gal - you’re a skincare minimalist! So, let’s do this, easy and low-key style.

Anti-Age Elixir: Ways to Revive Your Skin

Her skin is like velvet…. This is the first line of the famous A-ha song. The ages have passed and “her” beauty is still described through the description of her skin, her lips, her mouth, and her hair. They seem to resist the influences of fashion and perception of the perfect figure. For centuries we have fought for our right to uncover, and now we have to fight the battle with the Sun, toxins, and time to protect our skin and retain the youthful glow.

Finding The Perfect Skincare Routine

We all know that taking care of our skin is extremely important and something we must do on a daily basis, no matter if its summer or winter. On the web, there are millions of articles about different products and treatments, but not all of them always favour the same way a person to another. What may work for someone may not work for you.                                            

ES: Todos sabemos que el cuidado de nuestra piel es extremadamente importante y algo que debemos hacer a diario, ya sea en verano o en invierno. En la web hay millones de artículos sobre distintos productos y tratamientos, pero no todos siempre favorecen de la misma manera a una persona que a otra. Lo que puede funcionar para alguien puede que no lo haga para ti.

How To Maintain Your Skin Glow During Winter

The cold is one the greatest enemies of the skin since it dries our whole body, but don't worry, because hopefully there are small things we can do to avoid this, Here are some tips for you to fight the chilly weather.

ES: El frío es uno de los mayores enemigos de la piel ya que nos reseca todo el cuerpo, pero tranquilas, que por suerte hay pequeñas cosas que podemos hacer para evitarlo. Acá les dejo algunos tips para combatir las bajas temperaturas.

Sunday Treat: Purifying Mask

The skin is one of the most important parts of our body and how you take care of it will be reflected in your appearance. There are many different ways of doing so, such as cleaning your face every day, moisturiser it and even by drinking a considerable amount of water, which will help to remove impurities and give it a florid look.                                               Today I want to introduce you something that I have been using for a while now, the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean purifying mask, which is ideal for normal to combination skin types. I use it twice a week by applying it with my fingers all over my face avoiding the eye area, I leave it for 3 or 5 minutes and then rinse it. Also, it can be used as a cleanser but since I already have another, which I am really satisfied with, I prefer to use it as a mask at night.

Honestly, there is nothing that I dislike about it, it smells good and it does a great job. My skin looks softer, healthier and it glows more than before I started with this routine. So if you are searching for a facial mask to go with your normal-oily skin this one by Estée Lauder is definitely an option to consider.

ES: La piel es una de las partes más importantes del cuerpo y cómo la cuidamos se refleja en nuestra apariencia. Hay muchas maneras de hacerlo: limpiándola todos los días, humectándola correctamente y hasta tomando una cantidad considerable de agua que eliminará  impurezas y le dará un aspecto lozano. 

Hoy les quiero presentar  un producto que he estado usando desde hace un tiempo: la máscara purificadora de Estée Lauder "Perfectly Clean", ideal para pieles normales a mixtas. Yo la uso dos veces por semana aplicándola con los dedos y evitando la zona de los ojos, la dejo de 3 a 5 minutos y enjuago. También puede ser usada como limpiador pero dado que ya tengo otro, con el cual estoy más que satisfecha, prefiero usarla de noche como mascarilla.

Honestamente no hay nada que me desagrade de ella:  huele bien y hace un muy buen trabajo. Mi piel luce más suave, sana y hasta brilla mucho más. Así que si están en la búsqueda de alguna máscara para pieles normales con tendencia a grasa ésta es, definitivamente, una opción para tener en cuenta.

My Secret To an Oil-Free Skin

Having an I-just-came-out-of-the-gym look it is not nice at all and, although I used to have it due to the shine of my oily skin now I can happily say that it belongs to the past. I have tried many moisturisers but no one did such a good job as this one, so if you have the same issue as me I highly recommend you to try EFFACLAR MAT by La Roche-Posay. And problem solved!

ES: No es lindo tener la cara con aspecto de recién haber salido del gimnasio porque da una imagen desaliñada  y, aunque yo solía tenerla por culpa del exceso de brillo de mi piel grasa, ahora puedo decir felizmente que pertenece al pasado. He probado con muchísimas cremas pero ninguna ha hecho tan buen trabajo como ésta, así que si tienen  el mismo problema que yo les recomiendo EFFACLAR MAT de La Roche-Posay ¡y solución definitiva!
