Starting with a clean slate where to apply your potent skincare doesn't have to be harsh or abrasive, getting your skin literally squeaky. As a matter in fact, it should be supportive, not acting against your skin, as gentle as possible when sloughing away that dead surface and assisting your natural protective mantle of your skin. All that can be achieved with a nicely picked out cleansing balm. The term itself sounds satisfying to me. A good cleansing balm feels like a much needed nectar for your face while cleansing and exfoliating the skin. It leaves no noticeable residue, but gives you velvety and soft to touch skin after rinsing off. You will get the most out of your cleansing ritual when you use your balm hand in hand with a good bamboo cloth and warm water.

And after the first experience you will think, why you didn't try this so basic yet effective cleansing ritual before. Why all these complex cleansing systems and products when a good natural product can do so much for your complexion? All that will be perfect to finish with a natural highly potent facial oil that can deeply penetrate your skin due to a good cleanse.

Móa Daily Cleansing Ritual has been delightful to my 'all over the place, because season is changing' skin. It hydrates, smears off any makeup, soothes senses and skin, cleanses even deepest impurities and calms down any irritation or redness. Giving yourself a short face massage while working the balm into the skin assists in better blood circulation and tones the skin in general. Soothing yarrow and tea tree will make sure the process is calming and aslo good for the senses. Bamboo cloth coming with it has nicest quality, it is thick, has two different sides and is gives amazingly gentle deep cleanse by getting rid of any dead skin and impurities. Velvety, balanced out, much more calmer and softer skin guaranteed!
But this green pot of balm has its secret powers. It isn't just a face cleanser, but so much more. It can be used as a multi-purpose healing balm for anything that may going on with your skin, from cold sores and scars to scratches or rashes. 

One of the newer additions in Móa Magic Organic Apothecary is their Aphrodite Facial Oil which is a special blend for radiant skin. This beautifying facial oil absorbs into the skin without leaving any trace behind. This would be a perfect starting oil who are afraid of the face oils being greasy or too much to handle.
Based on the rosehip oil, it fights any premature aging, smooths the texture of pores and lines. Rosehip oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamins A and C, so it will help to naturally assists in skin's regenerative process. Damask rose essential oil helps with imprefections, such a dryness, blemishes, redness, any sensitive areas. Organic yarrow essential oil helps with uneven skin tone and pigmentation. Rose geranium balances and cleanses, marshmallow extract soothes and calms the skin. All this blended together makes a powerful liquid you should apply few drops morning and evening. I find it so soothing to massage it evenly into my skin while breathing in comforting scents of natural oils. Must be my favourite step of my skincare!

While we all know skin care products can take little patience and time to see the results, this facial oil blew me away in a good way. Or was it the cleansing balm? Or these two together? Who knows! My skin feels visibly smoother and glowing within few weeks. I will continue using this little simple ritual during my mornings and evenings just to give it a chance to amaze me even more. 

Another great Estonian company that creates amazingly pure and natural cosmetics - Moshi right in front of you. But not just 'every other' Estonian company, because Moshi is quite special. It draws attention, brings out emotions, is honestly outspoken yet really affordable. All the bottles of Moshi's products are carrying simple labels with different statements - you can easily find the one that goes by your heart the most or get yourself surprised by having the random one that will inspire you whenever you walk into your bathroom. Moshi states produly: we don't offer colourful pictures or synthetic ingredients. Too good to be true? Not at all!

I picked out two quite different products to write my first post about this sleek yet simple creator of natural beauty. One bottle holds dreamy goodness of softest body scrub and the other brings all the joy to the strands that are in need of a good moisture kick.

Sugary body scrub has been infused with wild mango and the scent of it feels just like walking under the mango trees. You can expect this scrub to nourish and deep condition your skin while gently sloughing off all the dead skin. Sea buckthorn oil along with sesame oil and olive oil, enriched with vitamins, will leave even the driest body silky smooth. Whenever I am using it, I like to take my time and rub it all over my body as long as sugar starts to melt and all the good oils get decent time to absorb into my skin.

Deeply nourishing hair oil ties together coconut oil, avocado oil, lavender and geranium - very simple, yet effective and without any unnecessary fillers that keep the actual goodness away from your hair shaft. This oil is slightly green in colour, due to deeply moisturising rich avocado oil and smells very relaxing due to essential oils of lavender and geranium. Dollop of added natural essential oils will also keep your scalp healthy and on its best behaviour! 

Usage of this hair oil is quite similar like you would do with any other hair treatment oils: you can use small amount as a leave-in hair serum on damp ends or you can distribute good amount of oil through the hair and scalp as a pre shampoo treatment. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes (2 forgetful hours in my case) and after washing it off, take your time to admire the softness of your strands. 

Bonus tip: use on dry hair as a serum, small amount rubbed between palms will tame away any frizziness or fly-aways. It will also keep your usually dry curls soft and smelling good. 

Want the smoothest softest skin in a natural way? Tune in! I am going to talk about the perfect combo that your skin will love and you will adore. JOIK surprised its fans with many new products and two of them are meant for the skin of our bodies, the area we often neglect when it comes to taking proper care of it. What can be the best way to encourage us to pamper ourselves more, than making body products that are natural, smell like desserts you are constantly thinking of and at the same time work better than you expected? 

Latvian organic cosmetics company Mádara stepped up in their came last year and released three totally new skin care items, facial oils, to combat different struggles your skin type can have. Back then it was winter and I felt needed more from a facial oil than dry oils can give and put it aside. Recently I started using their Superseed Radiant Energy Organic Facial Oil and think you couldn't get more fitting skin care product for the spring time when your skin is probably tired and in a desperate need of a good energising cocktail.

The idea behind this miracle elixir is to contain 9 powerful radiance-boosting dry oils to give your skin a luxurious and youthful glow. This particular one contains blueberry, cloudberry and cranberry seed oils to boost the skin with antioxidants and multivitamins. Revitalising blackberry, black cumin and parsley seed oils pair up with skin-softening pumpkin, borage and golden jojoba oils. The product proudly carrying ecocert label will sink into skin instantly without leaving any residue or unwanted oiliness behind. It smells fresh like a cocktail of fresh berries would do and gives an instant boost to the dullest and neediest skin. The lightness of this oil makes it perfect for every skin type and would be a wonderful starter product to the ones who are afraid of using oils or think that oils leave skin greasy. This oil will help your skin to regenerate, stay hydrated and protected agains environmental damage and pollutants. 

Coming in a sleek yet simple box, matte glass bottle has a handy doppler that allows to get just few drops you need to cover your whole face and neck area. While this powerful berry cocktail for your face seems little bit pricy at first, it is heavily packed with beneficial ingredients. Therefore Superseed oil will beat any expensive high end moisturiser with its concentration and the fact you only need a drop or two to notice a real difference.

Peat has been a natural resource when heating or growing plants! Now it is doing its star flight in the cosmetic industries. That means, peat in a facial care has gotten so popular in here. This powerful ingredient of organic bioactive face masks combats all the skincare problems you may struggle with. So, there are many new ones on the market containing our country's organic peat, one thing that has always been a part of our bogs. TurBliss is the company that has made its leap into cosmetic industry so fast, as it already won the local women's magazine award as being ultimate beauty favourite. 

The phenomena of this company isn't only the unique, sleek and creative packaging that describes the Estonian nature so well, but also the fact that it offers the widest peat cosmetics I have seen so far. You can opt for different face, body and hair masks, that have infused with organic plant waters to take care of your personal needs.

My bathroom cupboard has two face masks that take care of my skin hand in hand, keeping it pure, glowing and healthy. Both are incredible in their own special way!

Overall I couldn't imagine my skincare routine without these two anymore. They last long, make up the work of the different face masks I have hoarded into my bathroom cabinet before these came into my life. Whether you need your face mask to beat the pores, breakouts or signs of aging, TurBliss masks will definitely impress you within one use!

This is the perfect time to wear bolder lip shades and put your usual nude ones away. Whenever I decide to wear read, I have managed to reach for one and only shade I must be in love with. The lipstick itself is a perfect creation and everything you could wish for when it comes to perfecting your pout. It is Couleur Caramel Lipstick no 118 'Gourmet Pink'. The thing is, its not too pink, rather raspberry-like red with cold undertones. It suits amazingly with fair complexions, so you don't have to worry about being too pale to wear red lip. It won't wash you away, but brightens up your smile and skin… more importantly, gives you the confidence!

This lipstick not only has the beautiful shade, but also contains goodness to pamper your lips. As it  is plant-based and has organic jojoba oil, olive oil, shea butter, apricot oil, grapeseed oil and many more in it, your lips won't get dry even with the darkest shades. Couleur Caramel doesn't disappoint with the quality either. The lipstick has quite pigmented matte finish, yet feels so creamy, moisturising and long-lasting. It won't bleed, fades evenly and glides on with no effort at all.

The tube is another thing about this lipstick, that deserves the attention. It is not made of plastic, but recyclable good quality cardboard that looks classy and makes it stand out from all the other lipsticks.
