Double cleanse

I have recently started double cleansing, first with a cleansing balm, and then with a water based cleanser. I do this about twice a week and I fnd that it leaves my skin very clean and clear. For this tip to work effectively, you should ensure that you are using the right cleansing products that would not leave your skin dehydrated. I have been trying out some new luxury skincare products that are really good and I would writing some beauty review posts soon so keep your eyes peeled.

Wash your face with lukewarm water

Still on cleansing, this should be done twice a day, once in the morning and before bedtime at night. It is best to avoid using hot water when cleansing the face as this can strip tye skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated. Always cleans with lukewarm water or cold water if you can manage it. This also applies to the body, hot water can damage the skin if used excessively, so for glowing skin, stick to lukewarm water temperature.

Apply skincare products in the right order

Always start with the thinnest/lightest to the thickest when applying skincare products. So for example, it is cleanse, tone, serum, moisturiser, and face oil. Also, give about 2/3 minutes for each product to be fully absorbed into the skin before applying the next product.

Massage your skincare products into the skin

When applying your skincare products, take your time with each product and step, to ensure the skincare products are fully abosobed. Apart from the fact that face massages are really relaxing, they also help boost circulation which helps your skin glow. This is one tip I am doing a lot more of and I am love it.

Use sunscreen and stay hydrated

Using sunscreen every day helps protect the skin from harmful rays and prevents premature skin ageing. Some moisturisers have sinscreen, some don’t. So always check to see if you need to apply separate sunscreen and include this in your daily skincare routine.Also, remember to drink the recommend amounts of water to ensure overall health.

October 20, 2024 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Hey perfume lovers! Another perfume review for your reading pleasure. I know it can be tricky sometimes when it comes to shopping for fragrances. Sometimes, trying them in the stores doesn’t just to cut it. So perfume reviews do come in handy, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy writing them. Today’s perfume review is all about the amazing Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

I have been using this lovely scent by Christian Dior for many months, and I like it! It has a lovely, intense floral scent and it is really good. I have always been a huge fan of Christian Dior perfumes, especially the J’adore range. I think Dior perfumes smell amazing and are ever so long-lasting, and this lovely bottle right here did not disappoint. It is such a sweet feminine scent.

Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum Description

All the gold of J’adore in an essential, pure concentrate. For L’Or de J’adore, Director of Dior Fragrance Creation – Francis Kurkdjian showcases the beauty of the J’adore flowers by heightening their nuances and accentuating their colors.

A full and voluptuous perfume essence that creates a dialogue between notes of orange blossom, jasmine grandiflorum and centifolia rose absolutes. Blossoming in their full glory in a floral quintessence that is both powerful and sensual, these flowers are the true gold of J’adore.

Full of roundness and curves, the iconic J’adore necklace has been restyled to reflect the warmth of the scent, transforming into an organic and precious metal that undulates and hugs the glass of the L’Or de J’adore bottle.

PROS
  • I love the intense floral scent. It smells divine.
  • This fragrance is so long-lasting. It stayed on all day and I didn’t have to respray.
  • The bottle is so pretty. It looks amazing in my perfume collection.
  • I love the fact that the fragrance is not overpowering. It’s a great daytime fragrance and it works great especially in the spring and summer months.
CONS
  • None. I adore Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

Overall, I rate this fragrance 8/10. It is definitely a fragrance I have enjoyed and I am still enjoying. If you are after a new scent to test out, I highly recommend Christian Dior perfume  and I am yet to meet anyone online or offline who doesn’t love this fragrance.
