8 Beauty Products that Actually Work
I constantly get asked about my skincare, body and haircare routines and what products I use. This month I wanted to share some of my favourite products.
‘Magnitone Facial Cleansing Brush’
I am absolutely in love with this product which has done wonders for my oily skin. Furthmore, I’ve been using it daily for the last 2 years, and packed it in my hospital bag when giving birth. It works by deep-cleansing, massaging and toning your skin at the same time. So yes in a nutshell, it literally vibrates the dirt and impurities out of your pores!
I immediately noticed the difference. Infact, my oily skin felt very deeply cleansed than ever before. I have also noticed that my other skincare products have been much more effective and well absorbed on my skin. I have never looked back since.
‘Clinique 3 Step System for Oily Skin’
I purchased the Clinique 3 step system in a sale a while back. It is great value for money and a little goes a long way. I use the liquid facial soap with my magnitone brush, and It sits right next to my sink for easy access. Most importantly, it gave me a deep clean and removed all of my makeup easily.
‘Clarifying Lotion No.3’
This product is great for when using heavy makeup. Using a little pad to give me that extra deep clean ensures all the impurity’s are completely removed.
‘Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Hydrator’
I first received a sample of the lightweight gel-cream when I made a purchase at lookfantastic. After using this moisturiser, my husband gave me really good feedback on my skin; It looked and felt really hydrated. Now, every time i use it, my skin glows and this is the one product I absolutely love for my skin.
‘The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%’
This potent formula combines two of the most powerful brightening agents in skin care. It contains pure vitamin C and alpha arbutin which are both solubilised in a completely water-free formula. Additionally, this gives perfect stability making it perfect for oily skin. At first, you might notice it feeling oily but then it absorbs into the skin and does wonders.
After 3 months of use, It has reduced my dark spots, evened out my skin tone and my skin is noticeably brighter. However, make sure you compliment it with a good quality sun screen.
‘Victoria’s Secret – Moonlit Kiss Body Mist’
As a Muslimah, I truly Cherish a strong body mist. I wear this under my clothes so that when I walk past any strangers, it doesnt leave a scent trail behind me. However, when I stay at home, I usually wear this body mist with ‘Garden of Good Eva’ parfum by Benefit. In my opinion, they are a beautiful combination especially if you like to layer different fragrances to create a unique scent.
‘Benefit – Garden of Good Eva’
I absolutely love how clean and refreshing this perfume is while at the same time being sweet. It has a crisp & fresh citrus floral and musky smell!
Top notes are: pear, watermelon, ozone accords, muguet
Middle notes: rosebud, jasmine petals, green violet leaves, freesia
Bottom notes: sandalwood, musk, cedarwood.
‘ORS Olive Oil Creme Hair Dress’
On the jar it clearly states, “Extra Rich For Dry, Thirsty Hair”. I noticed a big difference in the first two days of using this product. The postpartum breastfeeding and hair shedding has dramatically decreased. It also softens and provides a shine to dull, lifeless hair. Furthermore, I am seriously enjoying this product own hair as well as my girls. Also, It is amazing that it does not shrink the hair as it does contain glycerin.
