Beauty certainly doesn't only come from skincare, nutrition plays pretty important role in the condition of our skin, nails and hair. When you aren't very strict with what you put in your mouth and worry that your busy day gets the best of your meals, it is necessary to reach for vitamins and supplements. The best you can do while taking additional nutrients in a form of a tablet, is to search the greatest natural options that doesn't harm your health in any way. Lamberts for example carries a wide selection of minerals, vitamins, supplements to combat any of your needs in a professional and natural way. I started out trying Colladeen Derma Plus that is supplement formula for a healthy skin.

It comes in a box of 60 tablets that should last you for a month. What is in them? Anthocyanidin from grape seed and bilberry extracts, lutein and green tea are the three main ingredients that you put into work while taking two tablets a day. Colladeen has been especially formulated to fight against sun damage, increase natural collagen production which gives skin its elasticity, strengthen hair and nails in general. 

It was the end of the summer when I started taking these. Summer ended pretty quickly and temperature dropped literally overnight. While my skin wasn't dry or troubled during summer months, I always get so much dryness and flakiness when it gets cold. That usually messes up the skin and you can only opt for richer moisturiser and hope it will pass soon. It usually does, because your skin gets used to the colder weather and will clear up eventually. These supplements made the whole dry skin situation non-existent. I continued to use my usual moisturiser and didn't even notice the weather change as war as my skin goes. As a bonus to much smoother and healthier skin, my nails grow fast. I like my nails shorter and classier, it only means I need to cut and file them more often. I can deal with it though!

It is the middle of the fall right now and even though I am currently out of these tablets, my skin is still happy! I am only left with a bad remembrance of my skin acting up exactly one year ago when the situation was same, temperature dropping, central heating turned on, weather changing. I can honestly say, you will get longer term results with these supplements. While good skin care is important and supplements should go hand in hand with it, Colladeen will give a new breathing and a restart for your skin.

I bet everyone who has been in contact with makeup and skincare has at one point heard or even tried Bioderma micellar water. It has the 'holy grail' and 'cult product' status and I have always wondered if it really does live up to it. When I got more into it, I discovered there is not only one Bioderma cleansing water available, but one for every skin type. Of course, the pink one, which is orginally meant for sensitive skin type and called Bioderma Sensibio H20, is the most famous one of them. The other one is comes in a bottle with neon green cap and the solution itself is light blue. It should be perfect for oilier problematic skins and carries a name Bioderma Sébium H20. Long story short, I put both of them into a test to see if they really are so good as many people, mostly makeup artists, claim them to be.

Bioderma Sébium H20

Scent wise it is pretty neutral and I didn't notice anything when it comes to it. It should be used with a cotton pad and as it has active ingredients in it, you can feel slight residue on the skin afterwards. This won't clog pores, make your skin irritated or uncomfortable, but rather treats the skin problems. If you don't just have few breakouts here an there, but oily skin is a constant struggle for you, I bet your skin would benefit from it more than mine did (read: you will see actual results).

Bioderma Sensibio H20

Even though I don't have sensitive skin, my skin still loves this and I definitely prefer it to the Sébium H20. Why? I value the 'no residue' effect, the fact it calms down my skin (winter will be the time of irritations) and when comparing the two, this one feels more like water to me. Definite repurchase if you ask me and probably in a bigger size!

I have talked about Circaroma before, but never ever I have tried their balancing skin care range. Circaroma makes a wide range of organic skin care products, formulated for every skin type and many of their products are award winners. Their balancing range has been created to bring equilibrium to skin. It is especially great for normal to oily skin types and you can pick out everything to cleanse, tone, exfoliate, moisturise, replenish.

Balancing Facial Cleanser Palmarosa & Orange Zest comes in a pump bottle that holds 100ml of a light creamy cleanser in it. It smells very comforting, yet has the uplifting zesty scent to it. Lotion has a rejuvenating palmarosa and cooling orange zest that work together with hydrating rose water, moisturising jojoba and coconut oil. All that to give deep cleansed and purified skin that feel comfortable and soft. 

While creamier cleansers can put some people off, you should reconsider. As you have read before, I have been totally blown away by the cream cleansers. They do get deep into pores and natural oils dissolve any dirt, grime and even blocked pores. You won't be greasy afterwards, but are left with hydrated and smooth surface. This cleanser will keep your oil glands at bay and your skin won't overproduce the oil anymore. In turn, you will have less breakouts and irritations on your skin!

Replenishing Facial Mask Rose Flower & Lemon Zest is purifying mask based on kaolin and bentonite  clays that will deep cleanse skin while also taking care of it. While clay cleanses, the blend of deeply fragrant rose flower and toning lemon zest combined with soothing almond and jojoba oils will nourish and put all the goodness right back into your skin. When you first apply this mask, you can feel the creamy texture that comforts your skin immediately. It won't sting or pull your skin like some clays do. As it dries, the mask will mostly sink into your skin and you are left with light layer of clay on your skin that isn't dried out at all. It is easy to remove and you can feel how your skin can actually breathe afterwards. This mask would be a perfect step in your skin care regimen during the colder months as it not only draws impurities, but also balances, keeps it healthy and radiant. Gentle enough to use daily, but powerful enough to see the results within one use!

These gems are LUMI bioactive skincare, based on the hemp seed oil that is known to be extremely beneficial for the skin, has been created with the principle to create a cosmetic line that is safe yet effective. Hemp seed oil is suitable for every skin type, but especially great for sensitive and problematic skin types. LUMI skin and body care range is quite wide, but only few days ago they let out two brand new products that form their cleansing line. 

After that it is time to the actual cleansing, removing the dirt that may be hiding deep down in the pores and exfoliating dead skin cells. LUMI Moisturising Cleansing Milk is a product that is more milky in texture and has a yellowish shade to it. To get evenly distributed product, it is best to shake the bottle before pumping it on your palm. Again, one pump is more than enough to clean whole face and neck area. The process of rubbing this goodness all over the face and massaging it in your pores is heavenly. It contains lactic acid and gentle cleansing complex that ensures deep cleanse, minus the harshness. Lactic acid is known for removing dead skin cells and impurities very gently. Bioactive herbal extracts will soothe the tired skin and support cell renewal. Afterwards you just need to rinse it off with warm water and you are left with clean smooth face that is ready for moisturising. There will be no tight feeling yet no greasy residue at all. Skin will be balanced, clean and so comfortable. 

Whenever I feel I need to clean out my pores and problem areas even more, I let this cleanser sit on my skin few minutes before rinsing it off. It works magic on my pores and makes them clean, appear smaller and smoother. 

Overall I think everyone who has even slightest skin issues should step aside from harsh cleansers and look into something like LUMI does. When choosing these cleansers you won't have to give up on completely clean finish you like after you have washed your skin. These ones are so effective and at the same time their gentle ingredients won't aggravate any more skin problems like redness, blemishes or sensitivity. Considering the price point, the amount you get and the concentration of the products, it isn't a splurge, but rather nice thing to do for your skin.

This summer I decided to got something more natural when it comes to suncare. I haven't had organic sun products before and Biosolis seemed to be a perfect choice. It isn't plain as many organic products tend to be and therefore you can get totally clean suncare products that at the same time are innovative enough to cover your specific needs. Biosolis range of products is pretty wide, but I chose two products that suit me perfectly and have been using throughout the summer.

Two totally different products both come in neat and high quality bottles with a spray cap on top. They hold much, but are small enough to carry in your bag or fit into drawers when not needed. 

Darker brown bottle holds Biosolis Oil Spray with SPF 6 in it. It is perfect to use when your skin has already been exposed to the sun and you don't need very high sun protection anymore. That been said, it still protects the skin perfectly and moisturises the skin while allowing it to get an even tan. 

It contains natural oils of Sesame seed, Jojoba, Argan, Rapeseed and Karanja seed which contains an ingredient called pongamia which increases the protection and broadens the UV spectrum for even better protection. While it is oil formulae it isn't greasy and sinks right into the skin, leaving it smooth, beautiful and even toned. This spray oil is slightly tinted so it will beautify the skin and leave the appearance of deeper tan immediately after application.

The other product is Biosolis Self-Tanning Spray. While you can find truly organic sun protection when you look good, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on organic self tanner before. First time using it, I wasn't sure about it as all the great tanners that are easy to use, don't smell and deliver the even application, tend to be full of chemicals. 

So I hoped for the best, but didn't know what to expect. The consistency of it is a milky lotion that goes on really smooth like any hydrating body milk does. It comes out slightly bronzed yellow shade, so you are able to see where it goes while rubbing it into your skin. The most satisfying to me was the scent of this lotion, it smells like green tea to me. At all times of the self-tanning process there is no typical self-tanner smell at all. But this product surprised me one more time: the tan it gives is so natural looking, evenly sunkissed while skin is moisturised, soft and smells fresh. Overall I love this product. As it feels very luxurious and works something like higher end product would, I don't use it too often right now. Mainly because I imagine how great it would be during winter time when I desperately need a warmer shades on my body. It works perfectly whatever the shade of your skin is and gives you a natural healthy tan while also taking care of your skin and beautifying it. 

Whenever I finish one of the face masks, I have to try another one. Recently I have looked into Lush ones and so I got Lush's Cosmetic Warrior fresh face mask into my hands. It has ten ingredients that make it perfect for troubled skin to combat any spots, balance skin, cool down the skin and moisturise while gently cleansing.

First of all, this mask can be weird at first as it contains fresh garlic and behind the scent of tea tree oil you can actually sense the garlic too. I wasn't bothered by it as garlic is great antiseptic and skin purifier. The garlic in it is quite gentle and even though you can feel little minced pieces of it in the mask it won't be overpowering at all. The main scent of this mask is refreshing tea tree oil.

This kaolin based white mask is creamy and extremely pleasant if your skin is inflamed or having breakouts in general. It makes skin feel comfortable and while working on your skin you can feel the slight cooling, cleansing sensation in a moisturising creamy texture. 

What else does it contain? It has fresh green grapes to clean and cool down the skin, fresh organic free range eggs to tighten the pores and skin's texture, moisturising and antiseptic properties of a honey, fresh garlic to deep cleanse and tea tree oil to fight spots and bacteria. 

All this goodness make it so perfect and easy to fight with skin problems and only within one 15 minutes use you can feel your skin is clearer, smoother and can breathe better than before.
