Clean skin everyday. My recipe

Instagram has been my new favourite app recently! Hands down! First app that I check in the mornings and last app that I check in the evenings. (I should mention that I enjoy Flipboard a lot as well, wanted to mention this, in case that my friend from Rotterdam read this post as well:)

A wise man said, aka Calvin Klein (instagram quate): "The best thing is to look natural, but it takes make-up to look natural"

True indeed.... probably, we should not let the man in our lives know that...

I would like to add to what the wise man said so nicely, that cleansing, skin care is as important, if not, more important than makeup! 

So, I thought about sharing some of my favourites cleansers, a deep cleansing gadget and a great mask for dry skin.

In the evening, I pretty much do the following procedure, night after night. First item is from Purity, One step cleanser witch I use together with Clarisonic Mia. I use my Clarisonic with the sensitive brush head. I bought it 3 years ago and I am so happy that I did, cause when my then fiance complimented me on my skin, I knew that I made the right decision. 

Clarisonic is a deep cleansing system, and what I seen that it works, is to use the Clarisonic for the second cleanse, meaning that the first cleanse I am doing it just with the Purity cleanser one. 

I gently massage a little amount of the cleanser onto a light damp face. Massage for 30-60 seconds. Rinse and pat dry. For the second cleanse, I use the same amount of Purity that I used in the first cleanse, but this time together with Clarisonic Mia. Press here for more info on Sonic Technology and all the technicalities around this gadget.

You see that it works, when you apply your creams after all the cleansing system that I described above. Everything sits correctly on the skin, in goes in the skin as well....off course it sounds as a great bed time story, but I would suggest trying in the stores if in any doubt. Seeing is believing sometimes!

In the morning, I use the Clarins, Pure melt cleansing Gel. You can already see that I prefer cleansers that go with water. I do feel like I am completely and efficiently cleansing my skin this way. At first touch, this seems like a gel, in contact with the face, while massaging it, it transforms into a oil, and when adding water, it becomes a silky milk that rinses skin clean. It has the same soft fragrance that all Clarins products have, which I do enjoy a lot. The sensation that I have after this cleanse, is pure JOY! The day definitely can start now!

Every now and then, for special occasions, like tomorrow I go to a wedding (I love weddings, it makes me so happy to be part of my friends special day...I DO), and after the cleansing with Clarins gel, I will make a mask, a hydrating one to be more specific, which is from First Aid Beauty, the Ultra repair instant oatmeal mask. After 10 minutes, in witch you can brush your teeth, your skin will be nourished for the day.

Love it!
