There are certain The Ordinary products that are always out of stock: Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution Whether it’s on Sephora, Amazon or elsewhere… Some have caught on and seen a business opportunity, clearing out stores and selling them 3 times the price on Vinted or Rakuten.

Which cosmetics to bring back from Montenegro?
I scoured the entire internet and couldn’t find a single article about cosmetics in Montenegro. So I’ll just do it myself, I guess.I searched everywhere but couldn’t find a single Montenegrin cosmetics brand. Sorry. Because of the freezing cold and my nearly empty moisturizer, I had to go on a little shopping spree with the goal of finding THE moisturizer for this winter. Suitable for combination, acne-prone skin. Where to buy cosmetics? There’s a chain called Cosmetics Market. You can find them either as standalone stores or inside shopping malls. It’s the equivalent of CVS in the US. They sell everything: skincare, makeup, hygiene products, home products. You can find…

Body Acne: How to Treat It?
As promised, here’s an article about body acne: its causes and solutions. This will be my last post in the “acne“. From now on, I’ll be sharing my Beauty & Cosmetics articles on my blog Mehach, which is dedicated solely to cosmetics. Sebaceous glands are more concentrated on the face (and scalp) than on the rest of the body. So, if there’s ever an excess of sebum, it’s more noticeable on the face than elsewhere. However, when you do get body breakouts, I find they’re tougher to treat because they’re not regular pimples but often very deep, and you don’t know how to get rid of them easily. There are…

Maskné – How to Treat Mask-Induced Acne (The Ordinary, Niod, Whamisa, Benton, Antipodes, Uriage)
Many of you have been following my advice for treating adult acne – or hormonal acne, and I thank you for your trust. Today, I’m going to share tips and a full routine to treat the famous “maskné,” a portmanteau of mask and acne, which we’re seeing more and more in people since masks became mandatory whenever we step outside. Hormonal acne is often the cause of breakouts on the cheeks and jawline. And maskné is too, so people can’t catch a break because they don’t know the real cause. After a long stretch without hormonal breakouts, I found myself, after driving across France, masked and in the middle of…

[Review] Novexpert Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum
Today, I’m reviewing the famous Novexpert hyaluronic acid booster serum, an organic product with amazing hydrating effects. Since I don’t have wrinkles, the effects of this serum are limited to hydration for me, but my friend Marjorie has seen incredible effects on her frown lines. So I asked her to share her experience. As usual, this post is NOT sponsored. Hello,My name is Marjorie, I’m 36 years old and have a 6-year-old son 🙂 I got to try the Novexpert booster serum thanks to an advent calendar. My first serum. At first, I thought: “A very nice bottle, but is the effectiveness up to par with this beautiful flask?” My…

I tried Face Treatments & Massages in Rome (Italy): Addresses, Prices
We continue our worldwide facial treatments tour today with my best addresses in Rome.I must admit that I haven’t tried every spa and treatment out there, but I’m so used to spas that when the service is exceptional, I know it right away, and I don’t need to go to the neighbor to compare. In Rome, I’ve noted 2 addresses for you: Facial massage: Kobido at Spring Touch After several Kobido massages in Paris, I saw a real before/after difference: glowing skin, nasolabial folds gone, fresh complexion. I wanted to find a Kobido masseuse in Rome and it was the best decision ever. There’s only one certified Kobido masseuse in…

Routine for Damaged Skin Barrier
In my long article about adult acne, I talked about the need to rebuild the skin barrier before and treat acne spots. But I didn’t give complete routines. Here is the routine I’m currently using to rebuild my skin barrier, which was badly damaged by wearing masks & the heatwave during my road trip. In general, you know the skin barrier is damaged when your skin hurts a lot, is redder than usual, more inflamed, and there may or may not be breakouts. After a rather painful breakout in August, skin that suddenly felt tight, and rosacea which I’ve never had before, here I am (finally) without any breakouts. My…

The Best Facial in Rome (Italy): Kobido with Simona Primavera, Facialist
I just came out of a facial so relaxing and so well done that even though I have plenty of other travel diaries to write, never mind, I have to tell you about my facial in Rome first! This post is not NOT sponsored, I paid for everything out of my own pocket. La traduzione italiana è disponibile qui I’ve had facials on almost every continent, and the best ones, in my opinion, are treatments with intensive massage. Of course, the products vary from spa to spa, and so do the machines used, but the ones I love most must include a personalized massage, both to get the lymph moving…

[Review] Niod NAAP Non-Acid Acid Precursor 15%, an Exfoliant without AHA/BHA/PHA
Well, this will be my last article on NIOD, because I’ve already bought half of the products from this brand, I need to stop at some point 😉 And also, I only have one face, and one suitcase, I need to calm down. I didn’t plan to buy this product at first, but after my skin barrier got damaged, I stopped all acids. I tried 2 products from NIOD and liked them. I can’t stand not having an exfoliant in my routine, so I gave NAAP a chance. At first, I didn’t even want to write an article about this product because NOTHING happened during 2 weeks of diligent use.…

[Review] NIOD SS Sanskrit Saponins for Dilated Pores – Before/After Photos
I already have a cleanser I’m in love with (the blue one from Rosette) but the reviews on Niod Sanskrit Saponins are so impressive that, weak as I am, I gave in and bought the 90ml version. On Lookfantastic, they have promos all the time, so I got it for €19 with the code OCTOBER20, compared to €27 on the official site. If you’re not familiar with the brand NIOD, I wrote a super long article about the brand’s philosophy and bestsellers here. What’s it for? Fans of double cleansing or Asian layering know: first you remove makeup, then you use a cleanser.Niod Sanskrit Saponins falls into the second category.…
