This particular cream comes from NOVExpert and is a part of Expert Radiance Program. While I love night creams, because often they are more concentrated and meant to take care of your skin while you sleep, I definitely do love a peeling nigh cream. I am a huge believer in exfoliation and even better when it is chemical yet gentle. When I first got his NOVExpert The Peeling Night Cream into my hands, I had no idea that this works that good. If I could refer to it with only one sentence it would be 'like getting a facial during you sleep'.

This night cream is based on glycolic acid and everything else is truly natural. The amount of exfoliating complex in it reaches up to 10%, besides that it has papaya extracts, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and botanical glycerine along with vitamin E. It is 100% hypoallergenic. A product like this should be a first heavy duty anti-aging product in your twenties. While it does firm skin, smooth lines and brighten up dull tired skin, it also helps to combat sun damage, pigmentation and acne. I started to use it mainly because of my acne scarring and to keep my pores clear. 

As an intensive treatment, it should be used every night for a month. Less intensive routine would be every other night for two to three months. I saw results within few nights. My skin was actually bright and shiny in the morning. This does make your skin peel a little, but it is nothing painful or major at all as it is designed to be really gentle. At first, it is actually quite common as your skin is getting used to the peeling complex in this cream. Whenever I had some flaky skin going on, I just exfoliated mechanically with the gentle exfoliant or used my Clarisonic in the morning. 

My skin has definitely gotten a lot of boost from the other skincare products I have used, but this makes everything even better. I have used this for about two months and I have felt my other serums and creams working more intensive and better while I use NOVExpert's Peeling Cream every other day as my night cream. This has been the best I have done for my skin in a while and would suggest everyone to give it a chance if possible!

If you are the one who also struggles often with sun- or windburned lips that can easily cause a nasty and painful cold sores. This is the little affordable magic in a pot. Whenever I feel I might get a col sore and my upper lip starts to itch or sting, I usually end up consuming enormous amounts of melissa tea. Which is good, of course. Because melissa tea has its own benefits and should be loved not only for that, but it is well known fact that melissa helps to boost your immune system and fight viruses.

Its base is the best local beeswax along with flax oil, safflower oil and of course the essential oils of melissa. It is 100% natural and handmade in Estonia, so imagine my surprise when I got to know that the best things don't have to come from far away. 

Lip balm itself is more solid than creamy, which is good, because humid weather can destroy easily melting products fast. This won't leave lips greasy, but applies very thin and so refreshing protective layer on them. Melissa's scent is so comforting, balmy and soothing. Within one application you can considerably reverse any damage that has already happened and go live on with your soft pout how it is actually meant to be.

You can layer and layer good skincare and take your time to work its magic, but if it doesn't you probably put so much bad stuff on your skin during daytime, your skin can't take it anymore. Whenever I have troubled skin times I turn to natural makeup. Especially natural face makeup! Couleur Caramel is a lovely French cosmetics brand that does its makeup clean, pure and full of good ingredients that actually take care of your skin. These would also be perfect items to use in your summer makeup routine as I can't imagine what could be worse for your skin than sweating under sun having silicones, parabens, parfums and other chemicals on sitting on your skin.

Couleur Caramel Smoothing Velvet Primer enhances the complexion, improves foundation application and sets makeup by prolonging its hold. It has sheer texture that smoothes skin tone and makes its texture velvety smooth. I apply it only on my oilier areas as it has a mattifying effect, yet it leaves skin its healthy look. I imagine that this would be a life saver product for people who are overly oily. As I also get drier areas I sometimes prefer to use tiniest amount and mix it with my foundation, then I apply the mixture on my face and I will get poreless airbrushed finish in a natural way. This primer is a true multi-tasker and can also used throughout the day on makeup when unwanted shine comes peeks through and makeup need little correction in general. While this is not all, it contains lots of natural oils that are beneficial for skin. This product restored my belief into makeup primers as I always thought you can't get a good pore concealing primer without nasties in it. Turns out you can and while using it you are able to enjoy its sweet dessert-like aroma!

Couleur Caramel Natur'fluid Foundation is a light coverage foundation to achieve a natural finish with. It allows to even out skin tone while hydrating  skin completely and giving you radiant a complexion. The application process itself feels always so good and comforting on skin, almost like putting on skincare. What can be better? During the day it will sink more into skin, so it won't be very long-lasting, but whenever I reapply it on areas where I might need more coverage, it won't look cakey or unnatural. Perfect summer time foundation! Mine comes in shade 12, natural beige. 

Couleur Caramel Dark Circle Concealer has turned out to be my hero product! This concealer gets so creamy with the heat of your fingers, yet dries perfectly matte but not dry looking on skin. It diminishes everything from dark circles to acne scars, blemishes and redness. A lot of times I don't even use powder to set it as it finds the right way to cooperate with skin and stay on long hours. Having a huge benefit of not getting into fine lines, but adapting with skin's texture, I love this so much that can't go a day without it. Whenever I choose not use makeup on that day, I only dab little bit this product on problem areas and I am good to go. Mine comes in shade 12, light beige.

As it is soon to be weekend it is right time to talk about pampering yourself. I usually take the time to do face masks, scrubs and hair treatments on Friday or Saturday evenings. This is the time to myself. While there are different masks I do I want to talk about the most special one. It is Vestige Verdant - an all organic bioactive anti aging mask that heals and soothes your skin.

First and foremost, this has been created in Estonia and looks quite luxurious to begin with. Quite big jar holds 200ml of face mask that looks something like mud, but really is based on organic peat. While it claims to be anti-aging it has so much more in it. The benefits list is very long and includes the properties of deep cleansing, moisturising, improving skin's texture, reviving blood circulation, healing allergic or overly sensitive skin, diminishing acne, relieving stress and restoring skin's natural pH balance.

How does it work? As I said it is based on organic natural peat that has one of Vestige Verdant's key ingredients, humic acid in it. This substance is originally so complex, that its molecular structure is impossible to replicate synthetically. So they have harnessed the power of nature with the purpose of making this miracle mask happen. Humic acid detoxifies and is also powerful enough to fight with cellulite. Deep cleansing and moisturising effect comes form a lot of minerals and bioactive ingredients that also give tour skin its natural pH balance. Fulvic acid in it, proven to be powerful electrolyte, will heal anything that may be troubling your skin. Soothing properties come from bioactive hymatomelanic acid that accelerates healing process, improves texture and is known to have the ability to fight with cancer cells.

Onto my true opinion! This mask doesn't have a scent to it and has a quite wet muddy texture. It should be applied whenever needed on a clean surface, but can be used daily if skin tolerates it. When applied it feels so soothing as it is moist and quite cold. Layer should be thick enough to cover the whole skin without your skin peeking through. Right after finished with an application, it is time to relax. Soon, great things will start to happen! After a while you will feel slight tingling or itching on your skin and almost feel how this mask pulls every single toxin and gunk out of your skin. When your skin isn't overly sensitive, you can leave it on up to 10 minutes, but when it is, 5 minutes should be fine. Like with every skincare item you should really listen your own skin and see what works best for you.

Not so good part is washing it off. It might get really dirty and your sink will be in need of a good clean afterwards. You also need to take some time to concentrate on your face and get everything off. I also use a cotton pad with a splash of toner on it to remove even slightest traces of mask afterwards. Once you get used to this mask you will master the whole process and washing it off part won't be so bad anymore. Key is to be as close to the skin as possible and really use your hands to clean your face. Even better if you can do this mask right before getting into shower and all your problems regarding dirty sink will be gone! This is what I do and I enjoy this little ritual so much. 

After you have gotten everything off, you will be absolutely amazed! Yes, there are great mud masks and even better clay masks that deep cleanse your skin perfectly, but with this mask it is whole another story. I can't even describe it without sounding like a lunatic. It feels like your skin is finally breathing and so thankful you just can't keep your hands away from your face. Your pores look smaller, cleaner, skin comfortable in general and the more regularly you use this mask, the more you see the effect. Whatever the product is, you choose to apply afterwards: serum, moisturiser or both, they go on amazingly and work so much better with your clean skin. 

Vestige Verdant ships worldwide and even though the price is little bit pricy it is nothing compared to the results I have with it. This jar is completely full of the mask and mine lasted about 5 months and I still have some of it left as you can see from the picture. In fear of running out of it, I already had to get the new one!

Sea buckthorn - I like its concept, I like its omegas, I like its berries, I like its bright orange colour, I like its taste and what can be better than skincare with this amazing plant that adds the products all the nicest properties. I have used sea buckthorn based products before and had quite great results. Now it was time to put Bio2You products to test and see what the real deal was.

Organic Nutritive Sea Buckthorn Moisturiser with Panthenol is truly organic quite rich moisturiser with a good amount of product in a glass bottle. Being so concentrated that you need only tiny amount, makes it even more valuable buy when it comes to its packaging. Its formulation brings together moisturising, soothing, nourishing, smoothing, protecting and microcirculation improving properties. To be exact, having argan oil, panthenol ProVitamin B5, plant extracts, shea butter and sea buckthorn oil it reduces inflammation, heals sun damage, protects from free radicals, balances skin perfectly and helps it to regenerate its tissue. I was quite sure this moisturiser is going to be the bomb and didn't have to disappoint. I love that it is so concentrated I need tiniest amount - saves a lot of money and you can still use one of the best products when moisturising your face. Whenever I have a break out or two, it really helps it to heal faster and this is usually the time I most definitely grab after this cream. 

Organic Omega 3-6 Serum is probably one of the best of the best products I have used for a while. It claims to be natural skin antidepressant and when at first I didn't get it I now do. This is the serum I won't use daily, but only when my skin feels thirsty, dehydrated or really troubled. It is like a medicine for skin in need! Instantly after applying you feel relieved and your face looks so smooth and calm. I have done a series of days when using this and this really boosts my skin by healing every little dry patch and every little pimple or blemish scar. Omega 3 in it stimulates production of dopamine which is a natural molecule of happiness. I don't know about that, but applying this makes me one step closer to happiness as it smells so soothingly comforting and I always know I will wake up to much nicer skin. This serum also proved itself even more when I was struggling with a cold sore. I usually don't like cols sore creams as they are full of chemicals and only help when applied really early. But this product, reapplied over and over again, healed my full blown cold sore within a day. I was left with little dry mark next to my lip and couldn't be more happy about this find.

Have you tried anything based on sea buckthorn oil? Loved it?

Since I have pretty much ditched shower gels I am always looking for natural soaps and I usually have to have huge selection of them. Handmade soaps can be so special, comforting and beneficial for your skin. You can never have too many of them. I tried Jovely Naturals Exfoliating Coffee Soap which is 100% natural and made in Estonia by hand using only natural oils.
