I have been obsessing (perhaps a bit too much lately) over perfect skin. I have drastically changed my lifestyle lately and I have seen only good results. Starting in September, I began a strict sleeping schedule. I have cut cheese from my diet, and I am dedicating time for physical activity at least once a week. And alongside all of this, I have been experimenting with all kinds of skincare products, some of them with no incredible results, but a few that are really worth it.

These are some of the products that I instantly fell in love with and wanted to share with you!

Have been using for almost a week now, the All-Embracing Serum Watermelon + Hibiscus Crystal Infused Hydration from French brand Odacité. The first thing I loved about it was that it was not greasy, as many oils are. It appears that one of the qualities of watermelon seed oil is that leaves skin moisturised and yet has a super lightweight texture. In the morning after using it before bed, I wake up even skin tone and have the softest skin.

Plus, the brand has a passion for using organic and healthy ingredients and has myriad products to choose from for all your skincare needs.

Have been using La Mer‘s The Neck & Décolleté Concentrate for only a few days, but it’s exceptional. The jelly consistency is said to treat the lines and the texture of the neck and décolleté, lines that formed mostly from looking down at our phones all the time, or while sleeping mostly on one side. One of the main ingredients in it is Lime Tea concentrate, an antioxidant that the brand is faithful to, along with the brand’s signature Miracle Broth, a marine ferment, all of which have incredible results on the neck. Not only is my skin glowing, but the product absorbs quickly and leaves really nice soft luscious skin. I would totally bath in it if I could, in order to get the same results for the rest of my body as well. (US shoppers can shop here.)

For the past few weeks, either I wake up with the impression that the upper half of my head is swollen, or I have super puffy eyes. It may have something to do with the artificial temperature in the room this season. One morning I tried the mask eye I had home from Cellcosmet―the collagen mask enriched with plumping cellular serum (15%).

After 15 minutes, the contours of my eyes were smoother and the dark circles lightened. My expression lines were still there, but more filled and I would say much less prominent.

It has hibiscus oligopeptides (the same ingredient as is in the Odacité serum) that intensely hydrates, relaxes and smoothes expression lines; Panthenol, with its well-documented healing properties, and extract of Chrysantellum that has the power of draining and reviving, just to mention a few.
