Boscia Charcoal MakeUp Melter

In my previous blog post I talked about an exfoliant cleanser by Cinique which I love to use in the morning to prep my skin. To remove my makeup at night, I first use a makeup cleanser and then the exfoliant cleanser. Usually I use a face wash in the shower but this time I have tried the latest facial cleanser of Boscia, this is not a foaming face wash but a cleansing oil-balm.Boscia Charcoal MakeUp Melter.This cleansing oil-balm melts on your skin and thoroughly removes all makeup. The oil-balm is especially good for cleaning your mascara, even waterproof mascara goes ...

Charcoal for your skin

Activated charcoal is the beauty ingredient of this moment. It's especially added to facial cleansers and masks, but also to toothpaste because it removes tannin (causes teeth discoloration by coffee and tea). Nowadays you can even get juices with charcoal to absorb toxins. The use of charcoal to clean your body is not new, charcoal is used in the hospital for years with alcohol poisoning and drug overdose. Besides that Asian skincare isn't for nothing a trend because they've used charcoal for years as a beauty product. Charcoal for your skin. Charcoal is a perfect ingredient for cleaning your skin.

Tarte Skincare Frxxxtion Stick

I'm a big fan of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation, a lightweight foundation with a natural finish and enough coverage. Tarte is a brand that makes you greedy, beautiful products with even better packages! I was curiously for a while about the Tarte Frxxxtion Stick, an exfoliating cleanser but in a stick. A special product with a triple action; peeling, cleanser and face mask.Tarte Skincare Frxxxtion Stick.

Yogavoormama and Favorite Beauty Products

Instagram is my favorite social media channel. The ambience is casual and business contacts are made easy. Via Instagram I also came into contact with Gwen of Yogavoormama.nl. This spontaneous and entrepreneurial mother sent me her Relax Diary and asked if I wanted to write a guest blog on her beautiful blog. I didn't have to think twice about that! Although I only did yoga a few times in my life (yoga during my 1st pregnancy), Gwen and I still have quite a few things in common. Both mother of two children, bloggers and a great interest in health and feeling ...
