Best Winter Cleansers :

February 16, 2021 1 Comments
best winter cleanser for sensitive combination skin



Hi Besties 😍, How are you feeling now that the winter is almost gone πŸ’œ
I am a winter person ❄ ,So I really love the cold weather and the rain 🌧 ,But my skin on the other hand struggle from sensitivity and dryness every winter, while keeping my signature shiny T-zone though πŸ˜…
So keep on reading to find out the two heroes that save my skin during the harsh weather ☃

Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser :




This one is like the ultimate heavy duty cleanser (I still use it sometimes in summer if I feel like my skin is dehydrated or bit more sensitive than usual ),It leaves my skin soft, moisturized and plump as it has a creamy texture, you feel like washing your face with a moisturizer. It is formulated with three essential ceramides that has been proven effective at restoring the protective skin barrier. Moreover, this formula is fragrance free 😍 which means, No irritation for sensitive skin and it doesn't contain neither paraben or sulfates.❤

I've been using it morning and night for the majority of the winter, you only need one pump, massage it in your skin in circular motions (60s minimum) rinse it with lukewarm water, if it's winter, otherwise cold water would do. Pat skin until dry, then proceed with your normal skin care routine.πŸ’š


 La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser :




Pretty much the same as the Cerave cleanser, This cleanser is so gentle on the skin and has a milky/creamy texture. It cleanses impurities whilst hydrating the skin. With it's minimalist formula, it suits sensitive and reactive skin. It also contains glycerin and LRP thermal spring water, so it help sooth even the most sensitive skin. 
I started using this one last years winter, as I got it as a gift with my LRP Tolerian sensitive cream, I start with applying the cleanser on my skin and massage it to make sure I cleansed my skin thoroughly, then I spray LRP thermal spring water as a toner, and I follow up with LRP sensitive cream as a moisturizer.
With these three steps, I can guarantee that your skin will feel really hydrated and bouncy πŸ’§

Both of these cleansers are life savers in the winter, especially for sensitive skin, so I can't recommend them more. But I would like to point out that you can never use them to remove makeup. I tried once to use Cerave to remove my mineral sunscreen and it was a fail πŸ˜…

Note: Don't forget guys to stay safe during these hard circumstances, stay home respect health and safety precautions ❤ and pray for the world 🀲🌍

That's it guys for today's review 😍 see you on the next one πŸ’Œ

I normally get both of the products from LOOKFANTASTIC Click bellow to purchase ❤

skinfood blueberry sheet mask best sheet mask

Hi my beautiful friends and welcome back to another sheet mask review,from one of my favorite Korean brands Skinfood ;it is a cosmetic brand that roots itself in food,and believes that nutritive food results in nutritive beauty.And it also dates back to 1957.

Today,I will be reviewing their Blueberry sheet mask,that claims to nourish and hydrate skin for a more resilient complexion,as it contains blueberry extract packed with vitamin E and antioxidants.



As always,Before purchasing any product we should run a quick analysis to the ingredients.And what a relief to see that Glycerin is one of the very first ingredients; It helps brighten and moisturize skin, It gives you fast hydration and immediate age-defying results.And then the Blueberry extract That is packed with vitamin A,C and E that works wonders to promote cell renewal,soothes the skin,and prevent sun damage and premature skin.

As usual.I followed the instructions on the back and I used my face mask,It had a really lovely sweet fruity scent to it,and after letting it sit on my skin for 10mn,My skin felt so plump and refreshed. 

So I would really recommend trying it.I personally am a huge fan of korean sheet masks and I love not only their magical effects on my skin.But also the experience you get as you feel like you're in a Spa πŸ§–‍♀️,pampering your skin 😍.

That's all for today's review πŸ’– I hope you enjoyed it and Thank you so much for reading πŸ’œ

My natural 100% Bio Hair care routine

December 10, 2018 30 Comments

My natural 100% Bio Hair care routine :







Hi GlamFoodies πŸ’
In this post , I'm sharing with you this hair care routine that I've been trying for couple of months now, and I've been using only Bio products .

So if you want to figure out my hair care routine , keep on reading 😍

And these are the products that I use πŸ’–


First I start with oiling my hair :



After brushing and detangling my hair , I apply this hair care serum on the whole length of my hair (1.5 inches away from the scalp) including my hair ends  , and it icontains a mixture of amazing hair oils : coconut oil ,  Moroccan Argan oil , Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil .







And for my scalp , I apply this amazing anti-hair fall Oil That stimulates blood flow and it contains : Olive oil , Black seed oil , Cade oil and rosemary oil  . 
I massage it on my hair for 5mn to 10mn ( you can use the inversion method for better results )

Afterwards , I wrap my hair in a shower cap that helps providing heat to open your hair pores , to guarantee you will get the most benefits of the oils .


After 2h I jump into the shower .



Shower Time :



Before , I used to apply the hair conditioner first on my end before using the Shampoo .
But since I found this amazing Bio shampoo that is not only parabens and sulfate free , but also based on Argan oil.



Your scalp really feels clean and refreshed after using it , and it also helped me to get rid of my build up oils and my dandruff .




After cleaning my hair , I use this hair conditioner on my ends and leave it for 7mn , then I wash my hair with cold water to close the pores , and I wrap my hair in a towel [ preferably a cotton towel ]


and finally , I let my hair air dry normally , but if I'm in a rush I style my hair as usual .


Thank you guys so much for reading πŸ’“ 

You can find all the products that I use in Oleic Bio instagram page .


πŸ’₯Disclaimer : This post is not sponsored in any way , I'm sharing with you my personal thoughts of these products that I've purchased with my own money πŸ’—

When you open the package,you will find 24 patches (7mm*10,10mm*5,12mm*9),You pick the patch according to the size of your pimple .




For the directions,you will find them in the back as usual :
  1. Clean your face before applying the patch (do not use any lotion or essence) .
  2. Select the patch according to your problematic area .
  3. Place the patch on the problem spot after tearing it from the protective film .
  4. Replace the patch if it turns white due to exudation.


❗❗ The following picture has gross content ❗❗

Innisfree My real squeeze mask : Lime




Hi everyone,Today I will let you know my thoughts about another sheet mask;This one is from a well known brand named Innisfree;it's a South Korean,naturalism oriented cosmetic brand that provides a huge variety of natural cosmetics .

I picked the lime mask; because it claims to be refreshing,moisturizing and leaves the skin bright and transparent .Plus,since it a water type sheet mask it is light and fresh,and the skin absorbs it quickly.






So,as you can tell by now,I really love to check products ingredients before purchasing.And well I noticed there was Niacinamide (Vitamin B3); which is a very effective skin restoring ingredient that helps visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores,uneven skin tone,fine lines,dullness and weakened skin surface .And obviously,we should find lime in the first raw as it the main ingredient.Lime is really amazing for rejuvenating skin,and protecting it from infections .Centella Asiatica extract;that helps increasing blood circulation,and boosts the collagen and skin tissue.And Orchid Extract;That moisturizes,soothes and conditions the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines.



I checked the directions on the back of the package,and it's pretty much the same in every sheet mask:

  1. After cleansing and toning your face,place the mask avoiding the eye and lip area.
  2. Remove the mask after 10-20 minutes and gently pat the remaining residue for full absorption .





When I opened the mask,An amazing refreshing lime scent hit me.I placed the mask on my face for 15mn and then i took it off.My skin looked so hydrated and literally my skin had absorbed all the solution.As for the brightness,I haven't noticed any major differences.

All in all,I really liked this sheet mask ,and I really recommend it.And I will certainly get more of it,because it's hard for me to find masks that suits my sensitive skin.


So,That's all for my review πŸ˜ƒ
I hope that it will give you an idea about this sheet mask before purchasing it πŸ’š

Fact or Myth:

October 02, 2018 0 Comments

Fact or Myth :




The inversion therapy has been known for ages , it dates back to 400 BC as it was a way to heal back pain . And ever since , Doctors and scientists kept looking for ways to extend this therapy , and try it for other medical purposes .

And nowadays , aside from inserting it in some yoga exercises , the inversion method has been used as a way to help promoting hair growth , as laying your head upside down stimulates the hair follicles , thanks to the gravity making blood rush to your head .



The First Step :






You need to choose your oil ( you can pick any oil you like , preferably choose a natural cold pressed one) . For me personally , I tend to mix and match between several oils according to my hair needs . [ find out the best oil for your hair needs ] . Then I put the Oil in a bowl then I heat it in a double boiler for a couple of minutes , warm oil will help with the absorption of oils . Be careful to not overheat the oil . That can burn your scalp . 



The Second Step :





Now , You need to part your hair and start applying oil to your scalp , make sure to cover all your scalp , especially your problematic areas ( where you see hair thinning : hair line ... ) 
Use your finger tips or a wide tooth comb to spread the oil evenly .



The Third Step :


You need to tip your head upside down , I prefer to sit in a chair  while letting my hair hang , and I try to find the write angle to be comfortable .

You have to hold this position for 4mn , while massaging your scalp gently in circular motions , sit back up slowly so you don't feel dizzy .

Wrap your hair in a shower cap , and let leave the oil for at least 2h ( I like to leave it over night )

 The Fourth Step ( Final ! ) :







Wash your hair as usual , try not using natural shampoos to help cleaning your scalp while preserving it natural oils .



I find this method to be effective for stimulating hair growth , but I don't recommend it for long terms , you should use it once a month , so that your body doesn't get used to it .


 πŸ’₯Do not use this method if you have health problems , If so , you should see your doctor for further information .

Ps: The products that I use aren't sponsored , I purchased them with my own money . You can order them from Oleic Bio .

Good bye guys 😍 See you in my next post XO πŸ’—

The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Oil For Your Hair

September 15, 2018 0 Comments

The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Oil For Your Hair : 





Hi bestiesπŸ’ ,
I've been Oiling my hair for several years , So I'm writing this blog to share with you what I learned through out the years. and from my personal experience , So if you would like to know more , keep on scrolling 😍 .




For dry hair :

Having dry hair can be due to a lot of causes . Some of them are health related ; you have a hair that can't retain moisture . Or it can be also caused by bad styling habits , such as : using heat tools too often without protecting you hair with heat protection products or over dying your hair .  And also washing your hair everyday , as that will strip it from natural oils .
In that case you have to start to think of using oils that will alternate your natural oils and work on your hair problems :





Moroccan Argan Oil :


This Oil is amazing for dry hair , it has amazing moisturizing properties thanks to its vitamin E , so it promises you , a smooth, shiny and healthy looking hair.  Plus it really helps  with split ends .
So you only need a few drops of Argan Oil , You massage it to your hair before washing it . And after that , you can rock your amazing healthy locks .





Coconut Oil :

This oil is a wonder , thanks to it fatty acids that not only help to control water loss in your hair , but they also help stimulating hair growth and maintaining healthy scalp .
So it's a multi tasking Oil , and using it will really help treating hair problems . 
I personally use it also as a hair serum , and i noticed a big difference as my hair became less luckily to get split ends .  

Sweet Almond Oil :

It's an oil that has pretty much the same fatty acids in coconut oil , but this oils helps preventing hair fall ; thanks to it's large range of minerals such as magnesium and calcium . And it also helps at getting rid of dandruff .  












For Oily Hair :

Oily hair can be caused by a lack of vitamin B , using the wrong shampoos , conditioning the hair from the roots , humid weather or simply from stress ; as  it leads the hormones to produce excess sebum which will cause greasy roots . 
So the best Oils that can help you in this case are light oils :




Jojoba Oil :

Due to it beneficial ingredients , including vitamin E , vitamin B , copper , zinc and it fatty acids . Jojoba Oil has a power to heal unhealthy scalp and it penetrates easily to the hair follicles , to provide the most benefits 
from the oil .  















Avocado Oil :

This oil is amazing at relieving clogged pores at scalp , caused by built up oils  And it is very rich in vitamins that help nourish your scalp to balance the sebum production .













Castor Oil :

Hair clogged pores can cause major hair loss , that's the reason why I inserted this oil in this list . Castor Oil has fatty acids that help increase circulation to the scalp which will improve hair growth . though , I don't recommend using it on it's own , due to its thick consistency , I do recommend mixing it with other carrier Oils .









So that's it GlamFoodys , I really hope this post will help you choose the right hair oil that you need . And if you have any questions feel free to ask me I will be more than happy to answer them .
Love you guys πŸ’“ and See you next post XO πŸ˜˜πŸ’—

SkinFood Centella Asiatica Sheet Mask

 


Hi Glamfoodys,Today I want to share with you my opinion on a skin care sheet mask.
This brand is called skinfood , and it provides a large variety of Korean skin care products that you can chose from. I personally got a lot of products from this particular brand and I will more than happy to share with you my thoughts on every single one of them πŸ’“  
As i was amazed with what I heard about the benefits of Centella Asiatica ; as it has the power of soothing , calming and treating troubled skin , which was perfect for my ( oily to combination )skin.






So i started looking for a sheet mask since it's my first experience with centella asiatica,and a sheet mask will be an affordable start.I found this skinfood beauty in a food mask and i checked the ingredients , and I really didn't get most of them πŸ˜….But the I noticed that there was castor oil which is well known for preventing the growth of harmful microbes , and there is the amazing tea tree oil that helps with skin infections , blemishes , dryness and pimples due to it's antimicrobial and antiseptic properties . The one and only licorice extract that is effective in improving the look of uneven skin tone. Soybean which help in the anti-aging aspect by making the skin produce more estrogen that helps not only maintaining skin elasticity but also reducing wrinkles and fine lines.And last but not least the Chamomile extract that help decongest clogged pores.
And what's more interesting than this amazing formula.










When I opened the mask , I noticed this grassy smell and it has a lot of the serum.I could've used it twice (with a compressed sheet mask).

I followed the descriptions on the back and I putted the serum for 15mn on clean washed face.
After taking off the mask , I massaged my skin and I noticed that my skin looked amazing ; it was really hydrated , dewy and glows from within.

BUT after like 15mn my cheeks started turning red . I found it normal since my skin is so sensitive around my cheeks area . I sprayed some rose water to help reduce the redness and afterwards I went to sleep.

The next day i was chocked by the results ; my skin was so soft and my pimple were all dry out .
In fact I really did love this sheet mask , though I wont recommend it to someone with a really sensitive skin to leave it for so long.
 For me personally , I think I will get a Centella Asiatica serum and use it only on my troubled areas , avoiding my cheeks.


I hope that my review will give you an idea about this product . Thank You so much guys for your support 😍

The secret to Korean Glass Skin

June 17, 2018 0 Comments


The secret to Korean Glass Skin πŸ˜»

From the ancient times, Korean women were well known for the love for beauty.they used to make cosmetics from lotions extracted from plants,such as Ground mung bean that contains saponin and was helpful for cleansing.They often tend to vary their beauty care regimen with the season. They use different kinds of moisturizers,such as cream for tightening pores, and lotions for lightening the skin etc...

And we can notice that until nowadays,Korean women still focus on skin care as they highly value even, radiant and glowing skin.So i decided why not to try the famous Korean 10 steps skin care routine and tell you my honest opinion.

Let's get started ... 

The first two steps are all about double cleansing :

1st step : Oil Based Cleanser





  • It balances Oil Production,which helps to regulate your own sebum production.
  • It removes dirt from your pores so its great for cleansing your skin of impurities such as built up dirt and bacteria.
  • It's wonderful for removing make up,even waterproof makeup,you can Simply pour a little oil on a cotton pad and wipe over your eye-makeup;for example, and it will be gone in no time.You will also notice that it'll help nourish your eyelashes and skin while removing makeup, so that's a huge plus.

Products I love : 

Innisfree - Green Tea Cleansing OilSkinfood Rice Daily Brightening Cleansing OilCLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING OIL

2nd step: Foam Cleanser


  • Foams tend to use less surfactants (the cleansing chemicals used to remove dirt and oil from your skin), so they're ideal for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
  • It's the new innovated alternative for soaps,which are well known for their ability to eliminate impurities, clears pores,and built up oils, all while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.
  • It's easy to rinse off and leaves nothing behind apart from a clean, fresh, and hydrated skin.
Products I love :
Innisfree Olive Real Cleansing FoamNature Republic Aloe Vera Cleansing FoamCLINIQUE CLEANSING FOAM

3rd Step : Face Scrub 


  • Scrubbing gives you clean skin, Free From Flakes and Dead Cells.
  • It can actually make your skin glow,And Removes Dark Patches and acne scars as well.
  • It gives you clean and smooth skin with an improved texture and also Promotes Clear Complexions.

Products I love : 

GARNIER SKIN NATURALS SCRUB
Skinfood - Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub

4th Step: Toner



  • It helps to balance the pH, or potential hydrogen, level of your skin. which makes your skin,less prone to oiliness and infection,and creates a more vibrant and smooth appearance.
  • It tightens your facial pores, allowing fewer oils and toxins to settle into the skin. This creates a fresher, cleaner and less oily appearance while preventing acne.
  • It provides hydration to your skin, which is essential to maintaining elasticity, smoothness, moisture and a more youthful appearance.

Products I love : 


  • It's more lightweight and less concentrated than serums, and it's used after a toner to add another layer of hydration before you applied serums.
  • It activates your skin’s ability to retain moisture, and also creates the perfect environment for the rest of your skin care ritual to work effectively.
  • It also works for all skin types, but it’s particularly beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin, thanks to its nourishing and hydrating abilities

Products I love : 

6th Step : Serum,( Boosters,or Ampoules)


  • serums can contain up to 70% of active ingredients. This means that you’ll actually get results, whether you’re looking to even tone, reduce fine lines, brighten, firm or get rid of dark spots.
  • It absorbs much faster without any breakout-encouraging residue left behind. It’s the miracle we’ve been waiting for!
  • It keeps your skin hydrated without contributing to that greasy feeling that we all hate so much.

Products I love :

 A'KIN PURELY REVITALISING FACE SERUM 
Nature Republic - Snail Solution Skin Booster 
Skinfood Aqua Grape Bounce Hydro Ampoule

7th Step : Sheet Masks

  • The sheet on your face helps the serum  filled with various vitamins and minerals to soak in your skin a little longer, which won’t dry out the skin compared to the paste-type face mask.
  •  It prevents quick evaporation of water phase and extends the time frame the ingredients require to penetrate deep into the skin.This result in the sheet masks outperforming the effects of the traditional serum-type skincare even when applied once.
  • It is really handy and easy to use, and doesn't make any mess while applying.

Products I love ( there is a huge range of sheet masks I cants really decide any favorites because honestly I've never had a sheet mask that I hated but all in all I do stick with It's skin Masks or TONYMOLY Masks or Skinfood Masks  these brand are always my go to)

8th Step : Eye Cream

  • It reduces and controls  the appearance of fine lines.Therefore A lot of young women in their early to mid-twenties are advised to start using eye cream.
  • It essentially works as a moisturizer which the formulation is delicate enough to keep this sensitive area moisturized without causing damage.
  • It also protects the eye area from further damage that may have already been resulted by sun exposure,So it will prevent you from having discoloration around the eyes or dark circles . 

Products I love :

9th Step : Night Cream

  • It ensures that your skin has an even complexion along with having a finer skin texture.
  • It boosts collagen in your skin and also helps in renewal of the cells and nourishes your skin.
  • It  prevents your skin from sagging while making your skin soft and supple,and helps the skin restore its elasticity within the night.

Products I love :



10th Step : SPF Protection

  • It prevents Sun damage which is the number one cause of premature ageing that shows on our skin in the form of wrinkles or hyper pigmentation.
  • It stops Dullness, discoloration and uneven skin tone caused by sun’s harmful rays.
  • It should be used even on cloudy or overcast days because UV light can still get to skin and cause damage.
