Clean Cleaner The Organic Pharmacy

Beauty,Health,19 July 2015

Some time ago I got a very luxurious delivery sent to me and after reading about The Organic Pharmacy and their fantastic reputation I couldn’t wait to rip open the packages and test these bottles containing pure perfection. After using these for a while now I really want to recommend this extremely clean and selective high quality brand The Organic Pharmacy.

Here are my three favorites right now: Rose & Bilberry Toning Gel, Virgin Cold Pressed Rose Hip Oil and Cellular Protection Sun Cream.

This Toning Gel is applied on damp skin after cleansing by damping it gently into the skin. I find a great toner to be one of the most important steps in my daily cleansing rituals since I think it refreshes and hydrates my skin after the most rough phase, cleansing. This rosy toner as well as my absolute favorite product The Rose Hip Oil smell absolutely divine!

All products are free from preservatives, colourants, fragrances and petrochemicals.

Virgin Cold Pressed Rose Hip Oil is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins and made out of 99.95% organic ingredients. This oil reduces signs of fine lines, scars and stretch marks and I apply it a little bit here and there but it is the perfect luxury boost for my face.

As a very sun sensitive and careful person I still have to admit that I really dislike feeling greasy and all creamed up in not natural sunscreens, since I am so picky when it comes to skin care and the products that I use. Even the products from regular pharmacies are not always natural and clean, so this particular bottle has become a new must have during the summer.

The Organic Pharmacy has many more great products but these three have become my favorites and suit my sensitive and dry-ish skin very well.

Let’s cleanse

Beauty,13 March 2015

This morning I took a glimpse at my windows and realized they need to be cleaned as soon as possible. The windows are dirty and dusty but the fact that I recognized that only means one thing, it’s spring! When going towards sunnier days and longer nights I need to shake off this dark and cold winter we have behind us (knock on wood). I want to feel energized, light and clean. A spring cleaning of my home is already in it’s full bloom but now I need to start working on both my mind, lifestyle and appearance. I need to cut down even more on salt and sugar and remember to sweat more every week. Sweating is extremely important, especially for my skin. I do have to point out that I am not particularly found of detoxing in general, I mean diet wise (juice cleanses). But that’s a whole different story :).

As I’ve mentioned before I prefer to use natural products as much as I can. I don’t use any perfume and I want all of my skin care products to be as clean as possible. Both my skin and hair get enough of heavy products when I work, so I try to focus on keeping my daily rituals and products as skin friendly as possible.

This morning I used this Detox ultra purifying mud mask from Mádara . It instantly clarifies (and made my pores appear much smaller) and the mud binds toxins and heavy metals and helps to eliminate them. Having great masks and products at home is perfect when I want to pamper myself but don’t have the time to go to a cosmetologist for a facial.  I can highly recommend this mask especially if you have impurities or oily skin!

I am a true believer in changing products constantly. If I use the same products for too long my skin gets lazy and I feel like the effect slowly decrease. Also, I think it’s important to really make sure to give your skin what it wants at that specific moment. Maybe your skin doesn’t need as much moisture during the summer as it does in January? Right now my skin needs freshness (and miracles for that matter), so these Time Miracle products will be great for me for some time forward. And oh, I am very big on serums especially ones that are silicone free like this anti-age serum!

I’m also currently trying this Deep Moisture Cream and I’m hoping this tinted moisturizer will be perfect when I get some color on my cheeks and freckles on my nose ;).
