All About That Base
My friends always make fun of my skincare addiction. As much as I love clothes, there is something about shopping for new skincare products…My skin is sensitive & a bit dry and doesn’t respond well to certain products, so it needs special care. I always look for organic ingredients and avoid using damaging chemicals. After years of testing I have found a couple of favorite products! Jet lag? These products will make your outer beauty jet lag proof! It is all about that base…
1. Pai Camelia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser $ 39,-.
Includes an exfoliating muslin cloth. The products are all organic, without damaging artificial ingredients like perfume. Perfect for sensitive skin. I love the cloth!

2. Philosophy Hope in a Jar $15,- & Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash $15,-.
Hope in a Jar is a major dicovery, thanks to Oprah. It makes my skin extremely soft & I love the lavender scent. The wash is gentle. I use it twice a week. I’m a huge fan of Philosophy and the words added to the products. During the day I use the Amazing Grace perfume.

3. Kiehl’s Miraculous Night Recovery Eye $ 36,-.
What an ‘eye-opener’! This is, without a doubt, the best eye cream I have tested so far. During the night this miracle worker gives your eyes a mini lift. Bye bye puffiness & circles!

4. Estelle & Thild Biohydrate Thirst Relief Vitamin Serum $ 35,-.
Estelle & Thild is my most recent discovery. I bought this serum for the night, but it is so soft that I use it during the day too. All of the formulas are free from pesticides and toxic residues and are certified organic.
