Here is a review on another skincare product that is currently at the top of a list of my favourites!
My skin is oily to combination, prone to breakouts and I have some enlarged, visible pores around my nose area.
In summer time especially, my skin tends to be really shiny, and I always need to matify it with a compact powder and touch- up during the day.
Since I discovered Bioderma Sébium pore refiner corrective concentrate for enlarged pores, my skin looks so much better!
You can check out, why do I love this product so much, here:
Correcting concentrate for dilated pores for combination or oily skin.
PROPERTIES
An excess of sebum, stress, smoking, pollution...so many factors are responsible for the dilation and deformation of pores. An expert in cutaneous biology, Bioderma research has innovated and developed Sébium pore refiner.
This correcting concentrate improves the appearance of the skin: its texture is more refined, more regular and clearer, and the pores are closed and less visible.
The exclusive patented Fluidactiv complex maintains the quality of the sebum, thus preventing obstruction of the pores.
An astringent dermatological active agent refines the skin texture and the antioxidant agents preserve its natural radiance.
The light, liquid formula of Sébium Pore Refiner instantly melts into the skin and leaves a pleasant velvety finish.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply once or twice a day, on its own or before applying your skincare cream, either on the T zone (chin- nose- forehead) for combination skin, or all over the face for skin with an oily tendency.
An excellent base to facilitate an even application of make- up.
In Italy, I got this concentrate at my local pharmacy, it retails at cca 13€.
Mine was super busy as usual, but as I slept the whole day today, I won't be complaining about how tired I was yesterday, at the end of my busy working weekend :)
Some positive thoughts about the past week/the beginning of this week:
The past week I started watching "The Secret Circle" and I'm already hooked up on it!
Yesterday I had the most delicious pizza after work, at my friend's pizza place.
Even though I was working this weekend, in my lunch breakes I managed to do a bit of hauling and bought some awesome pieces at the winter sales that are still going on!
After three months of waiting on it, this morning I finally received a package from wholesale-dress.net that I ordered in November!
I already started thinking it got lost on its way :(
I got tons of great jewellery & a leopard print jacket & I'm super excited I finally got my goodies!!!
That's called a great start to this new week!
(Sleeping until 15 p.m. also helps!)
:)
Now, back to this blog post's topic...

I'm sorry for being so behind with my blog posts, the thing is, I'm super busy in this period of time!
I now have a moment free, so let's get right into it:
"Skincare Regimen for Blemish Prone, Problem Skin"
In my video, I'm explaining you my skincare routine for my oily/blemish prone skin, in details, so make sure to check it out in order to see what do I do to mantain my skin clear and blemish free!
& here are all the products that are currently my must- haves when talking about my skincare routine:
Clinique products that I'm using on a daily basis
"Great Skin System" kit - Skin types 3,4. (combination/oily to oily)
I'm also using the natural sea sponge from the Adriatic Sea that is known for its antibacterial properties.
I take a small amount of my liquid facial soap, apply it onto the sponge, wet with water, and start massaging into my skin.
Afterwards I remove it with water and proceed with my toner and moisturiser.
Also, I often use the face brush by Sephora (it has got a great exfoliating properties!)
Face masks are a very important step in my weekly skincare routine/regimen!
I use Cleman ActivO3 mask with ozone & clay to mantain my skin blemish free and to eliminate all the blackheads.
I use the Sisley mask (both Express Flower Gel and Eye Contour Mask) to bring back to my face an extreme level of hydration and comfort!
I do these treatments 1-2 a week.
"Tea Tree Toner" by Lush (called "Acqua di Luna" in Italy) is also a great product for my skin type!
Essence Pure Skin anti- spot intensive night treatment was very inexpensive, yet surprisingly efficient!
As a part of my skincare I also often use Argan Oil (I have repurchased this pure argan oil several times already!).
I use it under my eyes, on my eyelashes/eyebrows...and on my entire face really!
(I also like to use it in my haircare & bodycare.)
Clinique All About Eyes is currently my eye cream and yes, this is a product I have already repurchased more than once!
(the review on this cream is coming up!)
My make up removers at the moment are: Bioderma Sensibio and Clinians.
Removing your make up THOROUGHLY is an important step in a skincare routine, especially if your skin is prone to breakouts!
Before going to sleep, always make sure to remove completely all the traces of make up!
This will help your skin stay not only clean/blemish free, but also young/healthy looking!
So make sure to have a good make up removers and never be too lazy to take care of your skin! :)
Even when you're soo sleepy that all you want is to jump into bed- think about your skin first and take that extra effort- your skin will be grateful ;)
I hope this helped! xx
There are some new products that I'm currently trying out and incorporating into my skincare routine, so I'll keep you updated on my routine/regimen and I'll try to always let you know all about the products that helped me clear my breakouts!
