Natural Beauty Inside Out
I recently came across this Instant Eye Tuck & Dark Circle Treatment plus Illuminating Eye Care from Easy-Eye Solutions and I just have to bring it up to the attention of those with severe dark undereye circles, eye bags or puffy eyes who have not found anything to work for them.
Here’s something new that I just came across while browsing a forum last week – that washing our face in the shower is bad for our skin, given the water pressure and the toxins in the water itself. Is this true?
I think the water pressure makes sense and a strong pressure is particularly bad for those with sensitive or acne skin as that might cause the bacteria to spread. But if the water stream is gentle, I really don’t see a problem. And I’m not sure if the water from the shower head is different from water from the tap. It’s from the same source and whatever toxins will be the same isn’t it?
Fair trade. Socially green. Ethical ethos. It’s eco chic fashion these days even with lingerie, like the rather new Ecochic label under Triumph, a new range of underwear with fabric made from bamboo fibres. It supposedly absorbs sweat better and has anti-bacterial properties. A pair of briefs is reported to cost $17.90 while a bra cost $59.90.
I was clearing my cosmetic storage the other day and found a stash of cosmetic samples that dated back to at least a year ago. I never tried them, even though I had initially wanted to. Actually, come to think of it, if the samples are not in containers or bottles, I’m less likely to try them out.
I was never into Korean cosmetics; not even at the height of the BB cream hype. My experience with their products is limited, and even though I do step into some of the Korean beauty stores occasionally, I usually step out empty-handed. So it’s rather odd that I’m currently crazy about Korean skin care products. Yes! Since going for the Korean traditional anti-aging facial and learning more about the range of Korean herbal natural cosmetic products, I’ve been addicted! And today, I want to tell you more about them, plus offer three lucky local readers a gift!
