Beauty Products....

I know. It sounds shallow and a little silly, but maybe I can talk to you about a few beauty products. As a scientist, lots of people in my line of work think looks are completely overrated and unnecessary. I disagree. I think it's important the way we present ourselves to others, because it also reflects the way we feel about ourselves. It may have started as something vain, but the truth is I treasure every minute I devote to myself, and it has really helped my self-esteem. As a young single woman i still wonder what the hell is it that guys are looking for and I'm still trying to figure out what is it that I want, but in the meantime, every morning I make sure I exfoliate my face and religiously wear sunscreen and regardless of the results I see it as a way to take care of myself. So, I picked out some of the products I found to be the best and that I use as much as I can

1. Garnier Skin Naturals Body Repair

Best body lotion ever. From the very first say I felt a diffenrece in my skin. It became softer, and it really made a difference compared to other lotions. The only thing I don't like about it: they don't sell it where I live!!!! I've bought it overseas and when I came home I brought several bottles with me, but still..... I totally recommend it.

2. Exfoliating Rice Powder, Clarifying Rice Mask and Ultra Matte Face Fluid

This line of products is great for someone, who, like me, has acne-prone and mixed or oily skin. It's even better if you use them one right after the other. It's perfect for gentle exfoliation, purification and moisturizing. It leaves the skin hydrated and matte. I've used it before going to bed and the results are visible the following day.

3. Nivea Sun Protect & Bronze

I remember when I first saw the add for this product. I didn't quite know what it was but it seem to solve one of my biggest issues when going to the beach: I want to get a perfect tan and protecting my skin from UV rays at the same time. My skin is already tan, but after a while without the sun it looks pale, more like yellow, considerind the natural color of my skin. When I go to the beach I want to get tanned without causing major damages to my skin, and until now it kind of seemed to me like I had to choose one or the other. After using it, the Nivea Sun Protect and Bronze lotion really helped me get a nice tan, protecting me from getting burned.
