When it comes to cleaning your skin the “right” way, I’m doing it wrong, because I’m not doing it at all. Or, let me rephrase that, I don’t do it at night, because I’m often too tired, plus I have the feeling most products only dry out my skin – the rookie in me. Probably the fact that I don’t use much make-up anyway, makes it I don’t feel the need to do it daily. Anyway, what did make me wash my face – in the mornings, under the shower – was the Pore Medic Pore Minish Cleansing Bubble. Now I had the product, so why not try it? Remove make up, pour a little cleansing gel in the palm of my hand, lather it a bit, and apply it gently to the face. It started getting foamy and I loved it! I think it must have cleaned my skin in a nice way, because it felt soft and hydrated afterwards. No night cream was needed before going to bed, which is a plus with my dry winter skin!
I’m currently on a little family getaway, but meanwhile we are kicking of the “Winter Beauty Edit” here on Thefashionguitar.com! Now I’m not a real pro when it comes to beauty products, because I never know what to use or when, so it’s only when a make-up artist, or anyone beauty-related tells me what to get that I get something new. Hence, I’ve found tons of perfect beauty products, but do not share them often. I should do that more I think, because I personally love to read about other people’s beauty favourites, so I figured you might be interested in mine.
This time I had the pleasure to try some new – to me – products from Dr. Jart. Remember when I went to Montauk with them last summer? Well, to be fairly honest with you, from that moment on I’ve used their masks and nose pads a lot. However, they have so much more to offer, so it was about time I dove into the deep and did some “try this at home” experimenting.
While finishing my week of isolation, and having a full body scan at the hospital, I’d like to introduce you – upon your many requests – to my skin secrets. Not that I ever wanted to make a secret of that in the first place, but when I receive your comments and questions – always so flattering – about what I do with my skin to make it look this way, you make it come across as a “secret recipe of beauty”. Anyways, so what do I use? Let me start by saying that I’m not a good girl when it comes to beauty routines. I often don’t wash my face in the evening, because I’m too tired or can’t be bothered. I know this might not be the way, but I sleep pretty well at night with the thought that I have a proper morning-skin-routine in place. Moreover I believe that it can also work against you when you take too good care of your skin, and wash it too often – which is for me another argument for only doing the mornings.
Three weeks ago I went for a hair-consult to my new hairdresser in the Meat Packing district and we made a plan. However, I could only get my hair done the week after NYFW earliest. Sh*t! Obviously I didn’t agree with my big roots – neither did at least half of you – so I had to do something radical… Something to drawn the attention away from the roots… And ever since I made my hair platinum I wanted to do something like lilac or grey, maybe even a pastel pink. Yet I never had the balls to do it. But when “worse comes to worst” you grow balls…
