Beautiful Skin

"Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Back in December I was introduced to an online skincare company called SIMONE FRANCE. I don't really do beauty reviews but I just couldn't resist. SF is the renowned French-born skin care expert whose products have cared for some of the world's most beautiful faces: Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Iman, Kirsty Hume, Amber Valetta and Elle MacPherson. (So now you see why I couldn't reists?) I told them about my skin concerns (I have struggled with dry and sensitive skin for most of my life) and my daily routine, and they sent back a detailed product recommendation and step-by-step instructions together with all the products. I have been using their products for about 4 months now and I confess that I often get lazy with my skincare, but I’ve definitely seen the results that come from consistent use with products that work for me. And SF is one of them. At least during winter. The daily moisturizer is a bit greasy now but there are different types available. The only thing I wasn't sure about is their disposable cloths. It just feels like a lot of uncessary waste. I find rinsing my face off with water works just fine. But overall, thumbs up!

Ešte v decembri ma oslovila kozmetická značka SIMONE FRANCE, aby by som vyskúšala ich produkty a napísala hodnotenie. Ako viete, takéto testovačky robím na blogu naozaj len veľmi zriedkavo, ak vôbec, ale po tom, ako som si prečítala, že do ich portfólia starostlivosti o pleť patria Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Iman, Kirsty Hume, Amber Valetta a Elle MacPherson, súhlasila som. Podrobne som im opísala svoju dennodennú rutinu a to, čo ma trápi ohľadom mojej pleti, mi poslali celú radu produktov na čistenie a hydratáciu s podrobným postupom, čo a ako. Sú to 4 mesiace, čo používam SF a hoci som už vyskúšala množstvo kozmetických značiek, táto patrila medzi tie, ktoré ma potešili svojimi výsledkami. Moja pleť, ktorá je najmä v zime suchá, dehydrovaná a citlivá, sa naozaj vschopila a už po niekoľkodňovom používaní bolo vidieť rozdiel. Momentálne je pre mňa krém na tvár príliš mastný, ale v zime splnil svoju úlohu. Jedinú vec, čo by som vytkla sú utierky, ktorými som si mala zotierať tvár. Každý deň som by som tak vyhodila minimálne dve do koša, a to sa mi zdalo zbytočné. Umytie tváre rukami fungovalo rovnako dobre a nevytvárala som zbytočný odpad. Ale ako celkové hodnotenie palec hore pre Simone France!
