Today I am back to present you my skincare routine, with a natural brand !

At first, I wanted to publish my whole skincare routine in only one post, but the night routine is long enough by itself, and you know that I always want to write you reviews as complete as possible, so I prefered to split it in two. So next will come the day routine, (a lot shorter).
Before starting, I need to make you a short historic of my skin type so you know what kind of symptoms I deal with and so what will be my expectations/needs.
In the first place, I have always had a quite dehydrated skin, (I've got eczema). But entering the
So, to tell you everything, I've been a bit lucky in my misfortune : I've never had any acne pimple. Mine is translated by microcysts and other black heads. (We say hello to dilated pores !)
So, of course : dehydrated skin + oily skin = combination skin. THE winning combo which you never know how to treat. THANKS !
I tried a lot of things to win against the ennemy, but I think that the subject will be approched in a video, (or then this post will really be a long one), but my skin has NEVER been in such a good state. (Well, yeah, at least not since I've had acne. No 'cause before that it was clearly better, uh.) That's why I share with you my new routine, which is mainly composed of products from the brand Dr. Haushka.
By the way, just in case, I just wanted to tell you guys that I am NOT sponsored by the brand Dr. Hauschka. I just decided to give this brand a try, and I really like it, but everything has been bought with my money. Just to be clear. :) Love you guys ! ♥

Let's get started !
◘ The evening :
- I CLEAN :
I use the Cleansing Cream from Dr. Haushka that looks like some kind of paste with grains, a bit like a scrub, while it is not !

First, you apply hot water on your face to open the pores, and allow the cream to take off the impurities. Then apply a tiny bit of cream in your hands, and rub them. At the contact of water, the paste softens and takes the texture of a cream.

What you need to know is that, if the paste/cream reminds you of a scrub, I was warned that you absolutely can't rub your face, but instead realize some gentle pressures with your hands, from the top to the lower part and from the inside of the face towards the outside, while avoiding the eyes contour. Well, to be honest, I don't really make sure that I go from the top to the bottom, what I do is that, I start from the inside of the cheeks, then I move to the outside, then I put some on my nose, my forehead and my chin. I realize the pressures from the inside to the outside, and I insist where I have the most of dilated pores and microcysts : on my nose, (while making sure to press my nose's wings with my fingers), and the inside of my cheeks.
I press that way a long moment, until my hands are almost dry. Then I wet them, and repeat. I in fact take off most of the cream that way, by repeating the process. Then, in the end, I rinse my face with cold water. The website recommends to use only warm water for sensitive skin but cold water works perfectly fine for me, even so I have veeery sensitive skin.
To be perfectly honest, the first time I used this cream, I wasn't a fan of the application. Dabbing my face in order to clean it ? I really wanted to gently rub in cercles instead, to feel that I was cleaning my face, which I didn't really get the impression of doing by dabbing. However, surprisingly, once the cleansing's over, I could notice that the skin is absolutely clear, cleaned, and you feel it : all of it without being dehydrated, on the contrary ! Once the product's rinsed, it leaves on the face a very light sensation of a film - as if we just put a moisturizing cream on our face.
The skin is comfortable, like replumped : you can feel it being clean and soft.
And about the scent ... it smells good ! It's a natural scent of plants and flowers, that I would totally be unable to describe. Well, I know that not everyone likes it, but personally, I love it !
What I regret, is the packaging. In order to avoid losing some product, I fold it in wrinkles, but the tube being in aluminium, it becomes impossible to "undo the wrinkles". You would need then to cut it open, but there'd be a rish to get cut, so ... I would have prefered a jar in glass for example. On top of that, it would have had the advantage to be recyclable, which would have been a plus for an organic/natural brand.

♣ List of ingredients :
Its price : 1.70 fl oz $29.00 / 1.00 fl oz $15.00 / 0.34 fl oz $6.00
2. I REPAIRE :
I apply next the Facial Toner from Dr. Haushka which I own in the travel size. It's a lotion composed of hamamelis and anthyllis that help the skin to regenerate itself.
Since I don't have the big spray but a tiny bottle with a cap, I block the bottle with my finger to put a drop on it, then I gently tap my face, while insisting on the marks I can have because of some microcysts. I reapeat as many times as I feel are needed. The lotion really helps me on the long run to erase the marks and to get a clear skin.
The scent is the same as the Cleansing Cream.

3&4. I STABILIZE AND I NOURRISH :

Next, I put in my palm half of a pump of hazelnut oil, here it's an organic one from Naturado En Provence, mixed with three drops of tea tree essential oil, here from the brand Paradesa.
The tea tree essential oil helps me sanitizing the skin, making sure it does not get oily and erazing the possible presence of bacteria responsible of the development of impurities. However, since it's quite powerful and since I still have to moisturize my skin, I add a tiny bit of hazelnut oil to make sure that the skin doesn't get dehydrated. In fact, hazelnut oil is known to nourish the skin without getting it oily, softening the epidermis by hydrating it and making sure it doesn't dry out.

In the begining, I added a whole pump, but it was way too much, my skin couldn't absorb so much and it stayed on my skin. So I started putting only half a pump and it was perfect : I had in the same time the astringent action of the tea tree to absorb the excess of sebum, and the hydratation of the hazelnut - without getting the skin oily. To sum it up, the perfect combo for a combination skin !
• What the brand says about it :
• Hazelnut oil :
"It penetrates very easily the epidermis without leaving an oily feeling on the skin, so it is indeed, a nice oil for massage. Its action is nourishing and it softens the epidermis by hydratating and by avoiding for the skin to dry out."

Their prices :
- Tea tree essential oil : 5€ the 10 ml or 12€ the 30 ml.
That's it, that's everything for my night routine !
Of course, I still have to present you my day routine, so I can make you the complete outcome of this treatment, yet, I can tell you that since I respect this routine, I no longer get oily skin in the morning, when I wake up, like I could have before. My skin is a lot more balanced, not dry, not oily, not dehydrated, not full of impurities. I think that I found a very good treatment for combination skins !
But I still have to post the day routine before writing you a complete outcome so ... See you soon !
