We use our makeup brushes everyday, so they get dirty and nasty. If we don't clean them often we will get bacteria and all nasty things on the skin. The bacteria that buildsup on the brushes can lead to breakouts and we don't want that to happen. It's not enough that you have good sponges or brushes you have to clean them too to get the best application possible.



How often should you clean your brushes?



• Eyeshadow brushes or brushes that are used on the eyearea should be cleaned at least twice a month.
• Concealer and foundation brushes should be cleaned once a week. 
 With clean makeup brushes your makeup application will be better and blending will be easy. sponges and brush hairs hold onto oils and bakteria. 
 •You can clean your makeup brushes/sponges with washers that are made specifically for cleaning brushes. I think the best way to clean them is to use a gentle bar soap. 

1. Wash with luke warm water
 2. Place a drop of your cleanser on the palm of your hand or if you ha…

Oily skin happens when the sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin.Sebum is vital for keeping the skin healthy. However, too much sebum can lead to oily skin, clogged pores,and acne. There are more cholesterol and saturated fatty acids than in a normal skin. The oilyness is basically everywhere, T-Zone or middle trianqle (nose, cheeks, chin, forehead). You can spot oily skin type if you have a lot of sebum, breakouts, bad microcirculation, thick skin,enlarged pores and poor skin color.

So Summer went pretty fast and it's time for fall. Not that excited about that. In this post I am going to tell you all about Ida Warg tanning products. This brand wasn't familiar to me when I recieved the products. Ida Warg Beauty sells hair care and tanning products. The tanning products look simple and classy. All of the products are 100% vegan and fragrance free!! So about the products... 

 SELF-TANNING FACE LOTION 

 This first product has to be my favorite from all the products. This product is for the face. I don't like to use body tanners on my face, because it makes my skin break out. This product is designed only for the face. You apply the product to clean face and wait for three hours. After only three hours you get a nice sun kissed face. It applies to the skin well and looks natural. It suited me well. I have been using this a lot and I will buy this product again. 
 SELF-TANNING SPRAY 

 This product was a difficult one. It gave a nice color of tan but it was rea…

I do this routine one to two times a month depending on my skins condition. It is really important to examine your skin on a daily basis and see what it needs. Everyone has their own routines and needs so this is just my routine, yours might be different to mine. Hope you enjoy reading this!



EYEBROWS...
First I like to personally get over with the annoying part which is plugging my eyebrows. I plug them neat and then it's time to wash the face


Cleansing...
The first actual step in this routine is to cleanse the skin from left over makeup or any dirt. If I have makeup on before I do the facial I do double cleansing ( I use both oily- and water based cleansers) . I apply the cleanser on my face and also neck. I like to work the product on my skin for few minutes so everything comes off.
I was my face with Hohde - Cleansing Emulsion. This product leaves your skin smooth and feels fresh.  It cleanses the skin effectively and it is gentle. All of the Hohde Products are made from Finnish …

Dry skin type can include both oily and those who suffer from lack of moisture. The skin is thin and and can be flaky. The color of the skin is a little pale, but when treated properly it's clear. When it gets irritated it becomes red and it feels rough when touching. Because it's dry it can be itchy and might feel tight. It becomes worse in the winter time.


Home Treatment
° Avoid everything that dries the skin.  ° Use toner ° Choose a rich cleansing emulsion or cream ° Light peeling (creamy) ° Rich care cream ° Power drop under you cream
It is very important to pay attention to the season changes when choosing the treatment products.

Dry skin may be caused or made worse by: °Your genes°Aging or hormonal changes°Weather such as wind, sun, or cold°Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds°Indoor heating°Long, hot baths and showers°Ingredients in soaps, cosmetics, or cleansers

In normal skin type the skin is beautiful and healthy looking. This skin type doesn't normally have a great excess of shine, and it also doesn't tend to be cracked or flaky. The skin isn't dry or oily it's in between.
There are no impurities, maybe some comedoes on the nose or chin area. The natural moisture effect is normal (moisture on the skin is good and it is not dry at all). Blood circulation is good. Skin is soft, smooth and firm.




Have to do....
Keep the moisture effect good
Keeping up the elasticity and try to slow down aging
Protect the skin and avoid excessive uv-radiance




Home treatment
When you treat normal skintype you should choose normal and dry skin  product. With a normal skin type you should use products that don't make their skin feel overly greasy and avoid products that cause exessive dryness. Following a proper skincare routine can keep your skin looking vibrant and healthy for the future.
