It’s Sunday Mask Day, the channeling my inner Takkie and Fiona edition aka deep cleanse and nourish edit. Step 1. Gentle cleanse with Paula’s Choice The Unscrub, the only ‘scrub’ I’d ever use on my face. Step 2. Deep cleanse to draw out any impurities and prevent them with Rainpharma’s Charcoal Detox Mask. Step 3. Nourish and strenghten the skin barrier with Kiehl’s Avocado Mask.

Burning a scented candle that smells like George Clooney’s Garda lake mansion - so I imagine - so I no longer have to smell the horrible BBQ our new neighbours have going in the middle of the day. In winter. King Louie and Shere Khan approve. #scentedcandle #acquadiparma #acquadiparmacolonia #pressgift #vintageinterior #junglebook
Hot breakfast for a cold day that started way too early. (I started working at 5.25.) Oatmeal with peanut butter (in it and on it), caramelised banana, coconut and almond slivers. #bananaoatmeal #hotbreakfast #porridgebreakfast
Sunday Mask Day, the 45 minutes to read edit. (Beatlebone is a must read for any Beatles fan btw.) Step 1. Cleanse with go as u r’s waterless cleanser. (It is fragranced and I am not yet sure whether my skin likes it or not, we’ll see.) Step 2. I know this one becomes predictable but I like Nannic’s peeling mask and want to use it up - or nearly up - before opening another peeling mask. Step 3. Hydrate and add some anti-ageing ingredients to my skin with Ici Paris XL’s Time sheet mask. This one feels very cooling so it gave me a wake-up boost after a short night to boot.

They’re very cliché - less sugar, more excercise - and most people give up on them after say 2 months but I find resolutions in the beauty department are much easier to keep. I wrote about mine on the blog. And intend to keep them. (I promise you’ll see more of me this year, @jochenvanhoudt 😀!) Link in bio👆🏼as always. #beautyresolutions #resolutions2020
Another skincare empty! I am not that big a believer in the whole free from industry unless it’s free from fragrance and drying/skin damaging ingredients. Which is why I love the Baby Pure range Louis Widmer launched last year. It’s free from fragrance, silicones (bad for the environment), mineral oils (dito and I don’t think normal skin needs them), alcohol (it can be drying), phtalates, parabens and colouring (unnecessary). Now, I don’t want to get into the whole phtalates and parabens discussion - the EU has pretty good regulations unlike the US - but with babies/young children whose skin is not completely developed yet and more permeable you might want to avoid certain ingredients entering their little bodies. Just to be on the safe side. Back to this body lotion I used on myself - why wouldn’t an adult use children’s cosmetics? - and on my 5 year old stepdaughter. It is nice and is easily absorbed after a shower but in winter my and her skin need an even more nourishing and soothing formula. Still, this is a nice one for summer! I will also be testing BabyPure’s body oil. If you are looking for baby/children’s skincare, I think all in all this is a pretty good range as it is fragrance free. You and your child don’t need fragranced skincare. Plus, why camouflage that lovely newborn’s natural smell? #franxskincareempties #babypure #louiswidmer #fragrancefreeskincare #fragrancefreebodylotion #childrenscosmetics #presssample
