fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate – Butter in a jar | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I blame it on the tea theme that I immediately think of butter when I look at the fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate. Afternoon tea – scones – butter… Does that make sense? Or is it just that I am quite hungry at the moment and would think about food anyway? I am not sure.     Anyway, the fresh…

fresh Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence – Brighter smoother skin with tea? | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I am a huge fan of tea in various flavors – I drink black, green and white tea, I drink it plain, with sugar, with milk, but somehow Kombucha, the star in the fresh Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence, never really grew on me. At least not as beverage.     Kombucha is fermented black tea, and besides the benefits of fermented…

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Spray B 5 – Underrated | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER &nbsp: Out of the La Roche Posay Cicaplast line, the La Roche Posay Cicaplast B 5 Spray surely is not the best known one.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When it comes to cleansers, texture and scent is as important to me as the actual performance is – I love something luxurious for the mundane task of getting rid of the daily makeup and grime, it helps me unwind at night. Now the First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser is unscented, but the texture, a pearly white whipped cream like…

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream – Unexpected Love | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER If you had told me five years ago, a texture like the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream would win my heart, I would not have believed you. I believed there were only two kinds of face creams out there: lotions or gels to suit oily skin like the one I had, or real, heavy creams for those with dry skin, way too rich for me…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  PRODUCTS MENTIONED ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   The Geek and Gorgeous Hydration Station Gel Cream has a few surprises that might make it interesting for you despite the abundance of lightweight and hydrating gel moisturizers out there. One of them is that despite the texture it is completely free of silicones – of course nothing wrong with silicones in skincare, I am a huge fan, but sometimes they increase the risk of…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I admit it has been a while since I had a microdermabrasion facial – or any facial, for that matter – so I can’t say for sure if the Murad Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial does, as claimed, is as effective as microdermabrasion in smoothing texture.   I have however tested it for a good two months now, so I am confident…
