PS: Hello Natalia, thanks a lot! I'm going to Poland in the beginning of August, there's some music festival in Plock we plan to attend

It works wonders and is super cheap but beware - the coffeine is absorbed through the skin and it has the same effect as drinking coffe (two double espressos

)

Super! Are you going to watch or are you participating too?

Natalia

Well, I'm just going to enjoy music, but my BF is one among the 4 guys from Nafta VJ-team, he'll do the visuals for the festival

Maybe a mod would like to make this sticky if there are enough replies/interest

I'd be interested to read the favourites of others, so answer these Q's if you like:

SKIN TYPE I have combination/problem skin so I've searched for years to find the right products that keep oil free and also protect my skin...and finally I found gerda spillmann skin care (hence my screen name!)

CLEANSER: (All of my products are Gerda Spillman...(GS))

I use the peau de fleurs cleansing milk

TONER: I actually don't use a toner!

MOISTURISER (day and/or night): depending on where I'm traveling...if I'm some where humid then I use (GS) plantoserimin lotion at night and planto...tages cream during the day to keep the oil down...

EYE CREAM: I LOVE GS EYE REGION CREAM...IT IS SO SOOTHING! IT'S GREAT!

FACIAL WASH: peau de fleurs

EXFOLIATOR: If I need to exfoliate then i use the peau de fleurs bar it has oat meal in it so its natural, and its not too abrasive like some exfoliator.

ACNE TREATMENT

lanto...lotion and tages cream

MASK

f course...Gerda spillman cream mask...I wear it every day...I think it's recommended at night but I wear it during the day under my foundation...I've used it on a type of arm acne and it works good.

 

[gamaki]

SKIN=Combo (unless I aggravate it then it can become sensative)

CLEANSER=Cetaphil

MOISTURIZER= it's an all natural moistrizer with chamomile, lavender, tea tree, rose extract, shea butter and olive oil. It's from an aromatherapy company called SAJE. I am not sure if it's available outside of Canada?

Toner= from the same place as I get my moisturizer-it has only 100% organic all natural ingredients.

EYECREAM=currently looking for a good one!-preferably a mild, all natural one.

EXFOLIATOR and MASK=MAC scrub mask. You get both accomplished at once with this!

FYI- Incase anyone is interested in all natural skin care: here's the link to the Aromatherapy company called SAJE where I get my skin care: www.saje.ca the skincare line I use is called Acne zap. Although I don't have acne, this stuff is my HG skin care. I have just found that the less harsh my skin care, the better my skin is.
