Skincare and poll on personal hygiene
Poll Personal hygiene
I suddenly just want to post something on LJ all the time, where does this instability in posting frequency come from? The above poll is just for fun, as I often find most of the things listed a nuisance. This brings me to skincare, which seems superficial but is actually something I have to think about every single day. I have atopic syndrome and my skin can get very sensitive at times, so I need to be careful when choosing the products I use on it. I'm lazy, but slacking on skincare quickly comes back to bite me in the butt in the form of eczema, a pimple or two or some other annoying problems. Here I've listed my favourite skincare products.
ACO Cliniderm Dry & Sensitive Gentle Cleansing Cream
"Extra gentle, moisturising cleansing cream with pearls of natural sun flower oil. Fragrance free." The best facial cleansing product I've ever tried. Now they don't make it anymore! Thanks a lot. :(
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub
"Helps to remove blackheads and prevent their return". Not sure about that, but the fragrance is quite strong and fresh, and it feels like rubbing toothpaste on your face. My skin always feels thoroughly cleansed after using this.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light
"A micro-diffusion of Vichy Thermal Spa water enriched with a rare combination of minerals from the very heart of rock. Its soothing and fortifying benefits are unique: it helps stimulate epidermal skin cell renewal, protects the barrier and soothes irritations." My absolute favourite facial cream. Moisturises the dry parts of my skin enough but doesn't make the rest of my face greasy. Pleasant fragrance. At about 20€ a pot, unfortunately a little costly for a student...
ACO Face Young mattapinnan jättävä päivävoide
Facial day cream for oily and combination skin. "Light and moisturising, leaves a matte finish." Perfumed, smells like shampoo to me. Works fine, better for my budget than Vichy (about 10€ a bottle).
Clinique All About Eyes Rich
Fragrance free eye contour cream. "Diminishes the look of circles, shadows, puffs. Intensely moisturizes." The best EVER. At 40€ a pot (15ml!), WAY too expensive. Such a shame!
ACO Face Plus silmänympärysvoide
Fragrance free eye contour cream for mature skin. Against wrinkles, suitable for sensitive skin. The next best thing, works for me, and a lot cheaper (about 10€ per 15ml).
ACO hoitava huulivoide
Moisturising lip balm. Quite basic, works fine.
Bepanthen voide
A fragrance free thick ointment for damaged and dry skin. Suitable for minor cuts, lips and sensitive areas. A miracle cream, works on almost everything apart from eczema. Excellent substitute for lip balm, although I find my lips get used to it quickly and seem to require more and more.
