From time to time I write about my skin care, body care and makeup products. Even though I like trying different products, I still have many that I’ve been using for years and will always be part of my routine. “Kombinimi Vajor” from Ada Herbs has given major benefits to my hair.

With the proper regimen, the shower can evolve from a morning or evening ritual into an at-home spa designed to give you glowing skin from head to toe. Get softer…
Here’s the life cycle of getting a spray tan: You amp yourself up for five days, telling yourself you won’t turn orange like an Oompa Loompa, then spend the day of your tan obsessively checking for streaks and spots, then prance around for approximately one week in a golden glee of tank tops and selfies, then watch for two weeks as your beautiful, glimmering bronze fades to a patchy, sad nothingness. Sadly, your faux tan won’t last forever. “The darker the spray tan, the…
When it comes to body care, I never miss a day. I am very attentive to the food I consume in a day; I exercise regularly and I also apply different products on my skin for better results. To achieve the so much wanted glowing skin, I tend to pay attention to my body, as much as I pay attention to taking care of my face. The Firming and Silk Effect cream from Dermakleb is part of my body care…

Water is essential to our health and bodily well-being. And yet it’s not uncommon for us to feel at a loss for how to stay hydrated—especially as busy, burned-out individuals in lockdown. “Everything in your body depends on optimal hydration, from organ function to hormone balance,” explains Los Angeles–based nutritionist Kimberly Snyder. “When you’re hydrated, your joints are lubricated, your skin is being nourished, and your hair follicles are able to grow in healthfully.” And when you’re not?
