REVIEW - Clinique Super City Block SPF40

Everybody should be using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA protection) EVERY day. Yes, even in the colder months, on rainy days and if you don't work outside. The reason for this are UVA rays. I will write a full-blown sunscreen-post in the future, but for now I will give you just the basics - once you get the principle, it is no rocket-science!

REVIEW - The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter

Ok, good things first: It is a rather affordable cleansing balm/butter and works great to remove all traces of make-up, sunscreen,... off your face, without leaving your skin tight. It feels lovely on skin and has an interesting consistency, as it melts in your fingers and on your face, it's fun to use and also ideal for a good face-massage. To my surprise it can be easily removed with a flannel in no time (no rubbing necessary), without leaving your skin dry, stripped, or tight and without a greasy residue, so definitely a good treat in the colder, drier winter-months!

REVIEW - La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser

First of all: I LOVE this cleanser! After years and years of using cleansers for "sensitive" skin (what a joke...), I was so amazed by a water-based cleanser that finally didn't leave my skin SUPER-tight. By that point I even thought that the tight feeling was just part of the game and kept wondering, why my dry patches, where my make-up likes to cling to (super-sexy), never got any better. So one day my pharmacist gave me a trial size of this lovey and I took it home to try it out a few weeks later.
