Caudalie Glycolic Peel Mask

I need to do a peel every once in a while to remove dead skin cells and to reveal a luminous polished complexion.I discovered this product by a sample that was offered to me. The morning after I used for the first time I was astonished with the results. 

This mask is a chemical peel that means that you don't have to rub tiny particles onto your skin or use a special tool (physical exfoliant). Glycolic Acid belongs to the a-hydroxyd acid family, also known as AHA. It is very gentle and doesn't irritate at all my face, even if I leave it more than the recommended 10 minutes. 

Formulated with 85,7% natural origin ingredients, it contains Viniferine, the grapevine sap. An efficient natural molecule that improves skin condition diminishing the appearance of dark spots and helps to clarify the complexion. It also has a natural ingredient, Papaya Enzymes that act as a non irritating exfoliant removing proteins on the skin such as dead cells and scar tissue that is still trapped in the pores. 

The application is very easy, after removing your makeup and washing your face spread a thick layer on your face, but not very close to the eye area. Leave it for 10 minutes and then remove it with water. A milky formula appears and after rinsing it your face will be radiant and smoother. Instead of having a very dry feel or a harsh finish, like many of other similar products that I've tried, this one leaves my skin very soft, glowy and comfortable.

Caudalie Glycolic Peel Mask is an at home facial essential when I want a very gentle exfoliation, its scent is marvelous. A spa treatment to relax and take some time for yourself.

Sleep Tight with Lavender

Lately I'm struggling a lot to get some sleep. I don´t know if it´s the heat or the light of these Summer evenings or just that I´m burnout and I need some days off. 
When I don´t rest properly I become a horrible person, very negative and in a bad mood. The remedy, not magic but helpful, is aromatherapy and aromachology. This last science, also known as the psychology of aromas is very interesting. Through scent, we can directly reach the limbic system of the brain where memory, basic instincts and smell are located. Scents can affect our autonomic nervous system in actions like breathing, heart beating...
Lavender scent is known for its calming properties of reducing stress and anxiety. Trust me, I was very skeptical, but I have experienced that active scents of essential oils help me, in a very subconscious way, to find a balance and forget about the daily stress that we create by having this modern urban lifestyle.
These are some products that make me feel relaxed and set the perfect mood for a good night of sleep.


Lush Sleepy Body Lotion 

I love this lotion to wind down because it has the dreamiest scent, really! It´s very sweet and malty, a great combination of lavender, tonka absolute, ylang ylang oil and oatmeal infusion. This incredible cream will wrap you in a heavenly peaceful mood before going to bed. Suitable for all skin types, specially normal to dry.

Dr Bronner's 18-in-one Hemp Lavender Castile Soap

This natural soap is very versatile. It is supposed to be multipurpose for your hair, body, face, but also an organic pet, dish and laundry washer. I honestly think that in my case, it is only suitable for my body as the other parts are very dry and need more specific products. The formula is just great, because it's very concentrated and last ages. You can use just a few drops on a sponge or dilute it. Made with organic and certified fair trade ingredients it doesn't contain synthetic preservatives, detergents or foaming agents. It has essential oils of lavender and lavandin, a very pleasant scent for a bath or shower in the evening. After a long day, this soothing natural soap is just the only think that I want to use to let go and spend a calming night.

Dr Bronner's Lavender and Coconut Organic Hand and Body Lotion 

This lotion has a fantastic scent, the blend of coconut and lavender is wonderful. It absorbs very very quickly without any greasy finish on the body. I love this one, because I'm very lazy to apply moisturizers on my body, I don't have the patience after the shower to wait until I can get dressed. This calming body lotion makes this tedious, but necessary  step much more easy.

L'Occitane Relaxing Pillow Mist

I can't live without this!  Before going to bed I spray it on my pillow, on me and even all over the entire bedroom. This 100% natural scent contains essential oils of lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium. This mist will help you to relax creating the perfect atmosphere to sleep.

Sephora Lavender Foot Mask 


I love a good mask and I can not lie! My feet are a total mess, they suffer a lot and I don't take as much care of them as I should. This mask is a genius idea, two socks soaked in a nourishing formula to repair one of the driest parts of my body. The best ally for cracked and tired feet that need an extra comfort.
