MY AFFORDABLE FAVORITE MOISTURIZER

Hello  beautiful people

Today I’m going to  share with you guys my favorites moisturizer, I have been using these products for years and really works on my skin. Moisturizer is the last step of your skin care but very important because it’s complete all the other steps.

Our skin need hydratation to show his glow, but to get  a good moisturizer for africain skin can be very challenging. Here Are my favorite one at this moment. As an African woman finding the right moisturizer is alway a struggle. Product on the the market are not always customize for women of color. Most of my friends fear to try unknown brand because they assume it will not work for them and it is not for woman’s of color, I understand where they came from because I have been there to. I also think that we have a wrong idea about skin care for woman of color but that’s another topic. In fact we need to read and teach ourselves about our body’s and how to care for it instead of buying the wrong product that could damage our skin. Time has thought me that, so since I’m obsessed with skin care product I have been trying some of them on the  market and have found the one that work for me. 

L’Oréal Aloe water 

Aloe Vera is a skin care must have, every woman should own an aloe Vera moisturizer because of the healing action that it gives to your skin and the hydration. My favorite one right now is hydra genius aloe water from l’Oreal Aleo water it is my first aloe Vera  moisturizer and I can assure you ladie it works. Since I started using it my skin is softer and hydrated. The texture is very light and watery and also absorb very quickly. My other favorite part is that it is affordable.

Pond’S

I can not leave without my correcting cream from pond’s it helps with dark spot sun burn and evens skin tone, in 2 week you will start seing result if use consistently morning and night. Reduce the appearance of dark spots in 4 weeks. The texture is creamy but oily. I have been using it for years and alway gives my skin a beautiful result, use it after cleaning over my face and neck, you can get it using the link Pond’S

Yve Rochet Sebo Végétal 

My first time using a zero blemish gel cream from Yves Rocher but I wish I knew her befor. I refused to try yve rochet product because I label her to not be appropriate for my type of skin which was true until I try this bad girl. My new best friend, she is my best skin care buy this month.It’s perfectly moisturize throughout the day , skin is beautiful tightened and complexion is visibly even and bey bey blemish. Use it morning and night 

Cien Med

Cien Med for face   is a Cold winter cream for dry or  very  dry and sensitive skin. It is a saisonal product I think they should have it all year because it gives such a good moisture and soften your skin. The exciting part is the price it cost me less than 2 euro but definitely do the job.

Garnier Bio Active 

Garnier Bio Active Is also one of my aloe Vera moisturizer, the testure very light, take time to absorb but worth it . It is a protective care, the texture is very watery, can be use morning and night. I really enjoy her too .

These product are really good and have help improve my skin care through the years. I switch beetween them and also use them together. I love using L’Oréal aloe water and Yve Roches sebo végétal. The key is consistency and do not be afraid to try product on the market just know your skin type. I hope these tips will help, can you please share with me your favorite moisturizer in the comment side. And let me know if you want me to do a review on any product you want to try. 

Thank you lovely reader.

ONE YEAR HAIR JOURNEY

HELLO guys

We woman have a relationship with our hair, we want it long and healthy, and each of us have a method that work for her. It is been almost a year since i big chopped my hair , I will be sharing with you guys what I have been doing.


It is not easy to keep up with a complicate hair routine and get my mom duties done, so I try to keep it as simple as I can. I big chopped my hair for the third time last year around this time of the year I do not remember the exact date but It will be one year next month.



The picture below shows how my hair  looks 1 ou 2 week after the big chop

The first month of my big chop I did not do  much to my hair, I shampoo and condition my hair every week , I moisturize it and oil my scalp 2 times a week, which help with grow. When it started growing I will tread my hair to stretch it and put on wig for protective style.

when I got better length I could braid my hair and reduce my wash days to 2 times a month, moisturize and still oil my scalp at least 2 times a week, I was not very consistent with oiling my scalp I could skip weeks sometimes because I felt lazy and have too much in my plate, but it was ok, hair still grow. I also use hair mask and prep my hair before shampoo once in a while.

As my hair grows I try new product that I found on the market to make my journey more fun. At this date this is how my hair looks.

I'm very proud of my grow below are product that I have been using since I started this hair journey, I really think that products matter because for afro hair its could be hard to keep moisture in your hair. These products  help me keep my hair moisturize  and also shampoing and conditioning it every two week is a must. we also need to seal the moisture with oil mean that you have to apply oil on your hair after you apply your leave in conditionner or moisturizer. My favorite oil is coconut oil, I started using argan oil few weeks a ago, its also work pretty well for dry hair and scalp massage.

Shampoo is FRANK PROVOST Paris
Conditionner: Camille Rose
Hair mask : Garnier Ultra doux
Moisturizing curl activator and coconut curling CREAM : CantU
Coconut oil    : Shea moisture

I used vitamin and stopped 2 weeks later because I felt bloated and lazy to take it everyday. Below is the vitamin I used.

I'm not an expert so I will suggest you to ask your Doctor before you use any vitamin.
this could be a good one, so I will try to be consistent with it to see the benefit of it and will share with you guys my result.
                      
Last but not least always wrap your head with satin scarf at night for bed time, I do not always use one or it fail when I m sleeping, but it is a must have for your hair journey, its help reduce breakage at night.

Drink a lots of water and healthy diet to help with grow.


This is  what I have been doing this past month on my hair, I feel that having a regimen for my hair help me to retain length and moisture in my hair. I hope this help and pleas share with me what you guys do for your hair regimen.

HOW I KEEP MY POOR CLEAR

hello ;
Today I will be talking about how I keep my face clear, As a black Woman I suffer from a lots of skin problem from discoloration, blemish, pore and so much more but I also enjoy skin care product and the idea of perfect skin even though there isn't  a such thing that's perfect. Because of that I use a lot of products from the gentle to the harsher, from the cheapest  to the most expensive, in fact I have come to the conclusion that it is not the product  neither the price that matter the most in skin care but it is how consistent you are the better your skin will look. I still buy product as long as I find myself attracted to it or to the price and try them until I find my soul mate skin care produit. right now my favorites are shown in the picture below. I have been using thes products for months and some for years.
