Review: Befine Exfoliating Cleanser


OMG, this stuff is amazing! I was hesitate to try this in the beginning since my skin is very dry and sensitive. I always have to be careful with exfoliating, cause most of the time I end up with a red irritated face! But this cleanser is amazing, not that I don´t end up with an irritated face but it also evens out my skin tone!!! So far my skin is smooth without any breakouts, let´s hope it stays like that:) Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this cleanser and I will purchase it for sure whenever I ran out of this one.
This is what the Birchbox site says about this cleanser:
Finding an exfoliator that’s effective without irritating your face is a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack (and a scratchy haystack at that). This two-in-one product has gentle beads that first slough away dead skin cells and then melt into a creamy cleanser. It’s ideal for anyone who has sensitive skin or who simply wants to exfoliate every day.
Natural brown sugar beads slough away dead skin. Because they dissolve as you scrub, there’s no danger of overdoing it. At the same time, sweet almond oil, oat protein, and ginger root extract work to soothe and hydrate skin.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them:)

Dry Skin Saver! Olivella:)

So my skin is pretty dry right now, to be honest I can´t remember the last time when it was that dry!
Absolutely nothing helped to get my skin nourished, even a night time cream, which is usually pretty heavy, didn't do the job for me, it just sank into my skin immediately and left my skin with a tight face!
Well, I decided to do more research since I heard that good oils suppose to be great for your skin, and this is what I stumbled about Olivella!

I am using this olive oil based moisturizer for almost a week now and it helped a lot with leaving my skin well nourished all day.
I am surprised that it doesn't leave my skin too shiny or greasy at all, it just soaks in within 5 min leaving my skin perfectly ready for make up. The best part about this moisturizer is though that for some reason it manages to even out my skin tone. Usually when I apply moisturizer my skin gets red patches in some areas which you can sometimes even see through my make up, but not with this moisturizer! That´s pretty amazing for me! I will definitely repurchase again and again:)
