Skincare hits for spring ?

Spring is always a time for me to take special care of my skin and hair — after winter, my complexion and scalp need refreshing, hydration, and regeneration. I test different products to be able to recommend those that are truly effective and pleasant to use. Today, I’m sharing my personal impressions of several products that have really worked well for me in the past few weeks.

Dr Paw Paw Your Gorgeous Skin Hydrating Cream — lightweight moisturizing face cream

I have to admit — I fell in love with this cream for its light texture and the comfort it gives to my skin. I use it morning and evening after cleansing. My skin feels soft, pleasantly firm, and hydrated, but it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. Importantly, it absorbs quickly, so I can immediately apply makeup or serum. On my own skin, I noticed that regular use improves skin tone and adds a subtle glow. This is definitely a product I can recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight yet effective daily cream.

Purito Centella Recovery Cream — regenerating cream with centella

I mainly use this cream in the evening, especially on days when my complexion feels tired after photo shoots or makeup sessions. Its light but rich formula gives an immediate feeling of comfort and hydration. In the morning, my skin feels calm, less irritated, and small imperfections heal faster. My experience has been very positive — this cream is ideal for sensitive and redness-prone skin. Regular use gives a soft and even complexion, which I really appreciate when working with makeup.

American Crew Cream Pomade (red) — versatile hair pomade

I can’t skip this one — it’s my must-have for both men’s photo shoots and creating sleek hair looks for women. The pomade gives me full control over the hair, adds healthy shine, and keeps hairstyles in place without stiffness. I love its versatility — it works for different hair types and allows quick touch-ups throughout the day. For me, this product never disappoints, whether at work or for home styling.

Vianek Scalp Tonic — regeneration and refreshment

I use this tonic regularly, especially after winter when my scalp is dry. I really like its light herbal scent and the cooling effect during application. After a few weeks, I noticed faster hair growth, less tension, and less dryness. For me, this product really works and is a great addition to everyday hair care.

Face Boom Cleansing Oil — a bit too oily for me

I tested Face Boom cleansing oil and I must admit, it works effectively — makeup disappears quickly and easily. However, for me, it’s a bit too oily and I prefer using butters or sorbets for cleansing. If you’re looking for a product that can handle heavy makeup, it’s definitely worth trying. Although it’s not my everyday favorite, I appreciate its effectiveness for full-coverage makeup and heavier products.

All of the above products I have tested personally, and I can tell which ones really work in daily care and which are better for specific situations. In my opinion, the most important thing is to match the product to your skin’s needs and the result you want to achieve. Regular use of proven products gives your skin comfort, a healthy appearance, and makes makeup look even better.

Summer hits ?

Summer is the time when I pay special attention to the skin on my face and body – the sun, heat, and holiday activities can dry out the skin and leave it looking tired. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tested several products that have truly made a difference in my summer skincare routine. I want to share my insights so you can choose the ones that really work.

Atoderm Gel Douche – absolutely delightful

This is my summer discovery! The Bioderma Gel Douche really impressed me. It has a light, gel-like texture that absorbs quickly, leaving the skin smooth, hydrated, and lightly scented. Regular use gives a feeling of elasticity and comfort – definitely a product I can recommend to anyone looking for an effective summer skincare item.

Bielenda Professional Supremelab – energizing toner with ultra-stable Vitamin C

The Supremelab toner is my favorite for morning skincare. Thanks to ultra-stable Vitamin C, it gives the skin an instant glow and refreshment. I apply it on both my face and neck, and after a few days, I noticed that my complexion looks more even and radiant. Summer is the perfect time for Vitamin C, and this toner delivers wonderfully.

Bielenda Professional Supremelab – energizing cream with ultra-stable Vitamin C

Completing the toner is the cream from the same line. Its lightweight yet rich formula hydrates the skin, evens out skin tone, and gives a healthy glow. I use it morning and evening, especially on hot days, when the skin needs hydration without heaviness. It’s truly an effective summer skincare product – providing comfort and visible radiance.

Inglot Lab Caring Makeup Removing Butter – mixed feelings

I also tested the Inglot makeup remover. Unfortunately, I’m not fully satisfied – it removes makeup rather poorly and has a slightly “dull” texture when spreading. Additionally, it leaves a layer that needs to be cleansed with another product. It’s not my first choice for everyday skincare, though it may work for light makeup or when combined with another cleansing product.

Inglot Milky Toner Face Mist – gentle and pleasant

This mist toner is really pleasant, although it has one small drawback – the spray is very delicate and sprays weakly. Still, the product gives a refreshing feeling, lightly hydrates, and works well during the day, especially in hot weather. For me, it’s a nice addition to daily skincare, particularly when I need a quick refresh of my complexion, making it perfect for summer.

Summer Skincare Routine – Summary

In my summer skincare, I focus on light, pleasant-to-use, and effective products. Here’s my sample routine:

Body – Atodebm Gel Douche, scrub or cream that hydrates and nourishes.
Face – energizing toner and cream from Bielenda Supremelab with Vitamin C.
Daily refresh and hydration – light toner/mist, e.g., Inglot Milky Toner Face Mist.
Makeup removal – Makeup Removing Buster may work for light makeup, but for full effect, combine with another cleansing product.

With regular use, these products keep the skin radiant, hydrated, and scented, making the daily skincare ritual a pleasure even in hot summer days.
