My beauty essentials

Hi guys, I promised you to tell you a little bit more about my skincare routine, so here it go’s.

I’m suffering from Rosacea since I gave birth to my first son. In the beginning there were only little red spots on my cheek, but after a while it starts getting worse and pimples appear. They come and go but it never gets better I’m afraid. So I tried almost everything you will find on this topic at the internet: antibiotics, lotions, avoiding sun and spicy food, no red wine etc. The antibiotics worked for a while but when I stopped it was even worse.

I just survived two weeks of terrible redness and inflamination and for the moment my skin looks soothed.  Lot’s of research has been done, and you will find a lot of speculations on the net but nothing worked so far for me. So if anyone has found the solution, please let me know!

The only skincare products (and believe me, I ‘ve tried many) that are not triggering more redness are the ones from Avene. http://www.aveneusa.com/

A few steps:

1. Make up remover : Antirougeurs Redness Relief Dermo-Cleansing Milk

2. Avene Thermal Spring water

3. Antirougeurs FORT Relief Concentrate (only on the spots were redness is high) or Antirougeurs DAY Redness Relief Soothing Cream SPF 25

4. Soothing Eye Contour Cream

5. Once a week I use the Antirougeurs CALM Soothing Mask

These products will not take away your rosacea but it will not worsen it. Next time some make up tips to cover the redness on your cheeks.

Ciao

Feeding the hungry

Do you also get the same questions in the morning? What are we going to eat tonight? On Friday it’s always has been french fries day , but tonight I wanted something different. Not such a good idea , as men are creature of habit! All ideas are welcome!

These are some of my favourite restaurants to grab a bite:

– L’Artista,begijnenstraat, Mechelen – very good authentic Italian food in a rustic interior

– Ellis Gourmet Burger (Leuven, Antwerp,…) , the best burgers ever http://www.ellisgourmetburger.com

– The Greenway, Parijsstraat, Leuven, as I’m a vegetarian this is far out the best vegetarian resto http://www.greenway.be

Cheers!

I’m thinking already now for a long time at these Adidas snearkers. What do you think , the Adidas Stan Smith or the Adidas orginals?  Both nice to wear with a pair of light jeans or with a dress,don’t you think?

One of my biggest sources for inspiration is the street. Besides keeping myself updated with the latest streetstyle online I love to sit and observe people passing by on a cafe. I think these girls are all pulling off such cool and inspiring looks in completely different ways..

As you suffering as I’m from the skin disease called Rosacea,you will probably know that a good daily skin routine is necessary. “Avene” products , a french brand , are the best products for my fragile high flaminated skin,free from parabenes.More about this topic later on in my blog.
