Natural Beauty Inside Out
I’m still on a blogging hiatus because of some work I need to clear off but I miss this space and wanted to say hello! Since I was going to say hello, I thought I might as well just ask you a quick question regarding your preference of eye products as it’s something that I’ve been mulling over recently.
Hello VivaBellas! Since Chinese New Year is just two days away and it’s a festive period where the main preoccupation is eating, I thought you might like these sweet polymer clay earrings and rings handmade by Shay Aaron, a brilliant artist from Israel who makes the most astonishingly lovely miniature food items. I don’t know about you but these make me hungry.
Guess what I did when I ran out of my cream cleanser and could find no yogurt in my fridge? I snitched some of my son’s vanilla milk powder and made myself a milk paste as as a pre-cleanse. I’ve never tasted my son’s milk to find out if it’s tasty but it smells good though and it cleansed my face really well.
During the course of my research about Astaxanthin, I found out to my delight that the ingredient not only protects our skin against the sun when applied topically, it can also provide significant benefits to UV damaged skin, including reduced wrinkles and younger appearing collagen. In fact, a study had shown that topical Astaxanthin acts as an effective “skin whitening agent”, reducing melanin by 40 percent, and greatly reducing freckles as well as age spots (source). And as I set out to hunt for this ingredient, I realized that I had already used a product containing this ingredient without being aware of it until now!
Do you use makeup regularly? It’s pretty time consuming isn’t it? I mean, even the most basic makeup needs at least 5 minutes of your time. So wouldn’t it nice if you don’t have to apply makeup and still look great the moment you wake up from your bed? Well, this is actually possible if you’ve got permanent makeup on. Yes, makeup that you cannot wash off with just cleanser and water. Just imagine the amount of time you can save on applying and removing makeup to your eyebrow, eyeliner and lipstick!
