This weeks #friyayfaves (by the @the_glow_girl) is the newly launched @klairs.global daily comfort hand wash and hand lotion.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What I really love is that they are unscented! While I do love a smelly hand cream - when your poor hands are so dry and irritated from constant washing and antibacterial gel, anything fragranced is going to irritate them further!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
They're also such a great size! Currently taking up residence by side the kitchen sink.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The downside:⁠⁠
They're from Korea, and when you add in the shipping and duties for Ireland. It's not worth it. But if you are in the US, shipping is a lot cheaper! Plus you can get 15% off with the code SARAH15⁠⁠

I think i've found the perfect combo for SUPER GLOWY skin! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@herbivorebotanicals Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask⁠⠀⁠⁠
Containing White Willow Bark: A natural BHA to clear out the pores, papaya and pineapple enzymes work to gently exfoliate and Blue Tansy Oil: Naturally high in Azulene which in addition to giving the oil its beautiful blue colour⁠⠀⁠⁠
, works to reduce the appearance of redness and soothe dry skin.⁠⠀⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@imfrom_global honey mask⁠⁠
The best mask for hydrated, plump glowing skin! My only problem is Sandy has decided he likes the taste of it and I spend most of my time trying to stop him licking my face!⁠⁠

Sandy is a dog fyi .....⁠⁠

Had an unintentional insta break for the past few

Had an unintentional insta break for the past few days. If I'm not feeling creative, I tend to crash and burn until I have a boost of energy again. I used to get so frustrated with myself when I'd do this, Instagram likes consistency and it definitely has affected my growth. But no more! I gave myself a good talking to last year about what I'm doing on Instagram and the blog. I lost my "why"! And what is that why? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's sharing information about beauty and wellness and especially skincare. I've always always loved researching new products, finding out what works and what doesn't. And I'm still learning new things! So i'm now trying my best to create posts that I love! That I'm proud of no matter the number of likes and comments. And if a few days or weeks go by in between posts, that's fine too. No more pressuring myself!⁠⁠

What does Non-Comedogenic mean?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Simpl

What does Non-Comedogenic mean?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Simply put it means non-pore blocking, but just because a product is labelled non-comedogenic doesn't mean it won't cause breakouts. ⁠⁠
In medical terms a ‘comedo’ or ‘comedone’ is the earliest form of acne, It’s basically a clogged pore.” So, if a cosmetic or ingredient is comedogenic, that means that it has a propensity to clog pores and potentially lead to acne. And, therefore, something labelled non-comedogenic is a product or ingredient that is less likely to clog your pores.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No. Unfortunately, the tests that are done are not standardized or regulated. Plus they are often criticized for their flaws. For example, products are usually tested on the subjects back, which is a very different type of skin compared to the face. - before they used to test on rabbits ears..⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So another marketing term?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Yup, just like the terms "hypoallergenic," "clean," ⁠⁠
"non-toxic," and "natural," "non-comedogenic" falls into the realm of marketing claim rather than absolute truth. To add to the confusion, the internet is riddled with lists of skin-care ingredients and textures that can block pores and are supposedly to be avoided. You might also have stumbled across 0-5 scales, where 0 is claimed to be "non-comedogenic" and 5 is "highly comedogenic."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The problem with these scales is that they are not reflective of daily skin-care habits or formulas. Even if an ingredient has the ability to block pores on its own, it may not block pores when mixed in a skin-care or makeup product.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So what should you do?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
However, a product carrying the label is probably still better than one which does not, especially if you are susceptible to breaking out. At the end of the day, we are all individuals. My advice would be to remain healthily sceptical of any product labels. And remember: Trial and error is key to finding the best product for your skin. And always always patch test!⁠⁠

When the light and the product are so perfect you don’t need to to do any editing!
I never buy body scrubs for myself (always make my own) so it always feels so luxurious when I get them as a gift. And how stunning is this one from @herbivorebotanicals
Do you buy body scrubs?

How is it the last week of January?? Resolutions can start in February right?? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Current AM peptide routine.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After cleansing, I apply a few drops of @bywishtrend Mandelic Acid. As it's winter I've reduced my glycolic acid use and I'm using the much gentler mandelic instead most mornings.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After using an acid I always use the Holos pre and probiotic spritz (not pictured) to help balance my skin's pH.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Then I use my @nuface to tone this skin.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Followed by the @alliesofskin pre and probiotic Niacinamide pore-refining booster⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Peptides & Antioxidant firming daily treatment by @alliesofskin - just love the texture of this so much!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And @theinkeylist peptide moisturiser to seal in all the goodness and of course spf to finish!⁠⠀
