{Review } Bioderma Sebium Global

The blog has been quite silent for a little while and I do apologies.

I have not been in the mood to blog with life happening but I felt that this was one review that must be shared!!

As a teenage I suffered from acne, in my twenties I did have occasional breakouts. Now that I am in my thirties adult acne has now become my nightmare!!

It is stress related I assume and I have lost my self-confidence to even leave the house or hurry to cover up as soon as there are visitors at my gate. 

Until I tried Bioderma Sebium Global.

(Please note that this was the only product I was using to treat my acne) 

I had these huge cystic acne pimples popping up in the U section of my face. It looked totally horrid. Yeah I know I wanted to hide in my cupboard!

I started seeing a lot of improvements from week one of using this amazing product.

After a month I noticed that there was huge reduction and inflammation of the acne. And the red spots started fading away quickly And no new acne!

Impressive right?

*What does Bioderma Sebium Global do to combat acne?

·      Taking advantage of the latest dermatological breakthroughs, Sébium AI promotes the elimination of spots and blackheads and prevents them from reappearing. Its formula contains the Fluidactiv^® exclusive patented complex which biologically regulates sebum quality, preventing pores from becoming clogged and limiting the formation of new blemishes.

· Zinc gluconate, combined with enoxolone and a lipase inhibitor, limits the proliferationof P. acnes, the bacterium responsible for the inflammation that causes spots, soothes redness and relieves irritation. Sébium AI thus prevents scarring risks since inflammation is correlated with the risk of scars.

·      AHA esters limit the thickening of the horny layer and smoothe out the skin texture.

·     Thanks to highly concentrated zinc gluconate, Sébium AI regulates sebum secretion and limits shine. The epidermis is purified and the skin is clearer

*Good to Know:

·        Scented formula

·        Hypoallergenic

·        Non-comedogenic

·        Paraben-free

·        Light, non-greasy, non-sticky emulsion

Mint &Lemon Clay Mask

Mint &Lemon Clay Mask – controls oil and breakouts

Recently I have been struggling with some nasty breakouts. I have been suffering with acne for as long as can remember.

So with that being said, I will be reviewing the Freeman Beauty Facial Clay Mask Mint and Lemon that I picked up on one of my recent hauls.  I chose this mask as I have oily and acne prone skin, so I need something that would help control the oil on my face.

The mask comes in a very attractive Yellow and green tube and has a flip open top. Perfect for traveling as the tube is quite sturdy.

The mask itself is a green color which smells nice and citrus. It has a very creamy texture.

Very simple to use, just apply to face and avoid the eye area. Let it dry and rinse off with warm water.

After using this mask for about 2-3 times a week, I found that my face is less oily. My pores appear to be smaller. This mask leaves my skin feeling matte, refreshed, smooth .

I also love that it does not leave the skin feeling tight or dry. 

It also contains peppermint oil which helps to soothe and nourish the skin, minimize breakouts, and help fade pigmentation.

Lemon which is a natural bleaching agent, which means it will help with hyper pigmentation and lighten acne scars.

People with dry skin might get irritated by this mask as it could dry out the skin even further. However, if you have dry or normal skin, you can always try using this in problematic areas instead of applying it to your entire face.

Full size tube (175ml) at Dis-Chem for R 69,95.

Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil

I was really excited when I received the Clarins Blue Orchid face treatment oil for mother’s day from Beauty bulletin

The fragrance of the oil is pure aromatic and not overpowering. It calmed and relaxed my senses. Before applying I sniff my hand and then apply. I can feel that its fragrance helps in calming my senses.
The oil is very light and gets absorb into skin very fast. Does not leave any greasy or oily feeling

It lasts very long as you only need to use about 3-4 drops at a time. The bottle is cute; it has a glass dropper.

I have started seeing noticeable difference in my skin on the first day. My skin is clean and hydrated. It brought a lovely glow to my skin right after the first day I used it. It says, this face treatment hydrates and restores vitality and radiance to dehydrated skin, and I totally agree!
Especially during winter my skin is parched, dry and dehydrated, the condition is so worse that the skin starts peeling off due to extreme dryness sometimes.
It revitalizes moisture-depleted skin. Hazelnut Oil softens and smooths with sealing in the moisture to help minimize the appearance of fine lines. The oil helps shrinking my open pores, not immediately but gradually.

With 100% pure plant extracts which makes it very light weight and has active ingredients. Oily skin ladies do not get afraid to use it. This oil never broke me out rather aided my zits and rashes quickly. It has evened out my skin, maintained moisture level and kept it hydrated. It also reduced the size of open pores and gives a healthy looking skin. I was so happy and glad that I was sent this product.

Overall it is a luxurious product which is definitely a must have. Clarins is very skin friendly, mild and effective. This product is very effective on dehydrated skin and dullness. I love this oil and it’s really expensive but I can assure you that it is worth every cent!!!
