I don’t think this skincare empty comes as a surprise in these bizarre times... I have never washed my hands so much as I do now, which turned them into ones that resemble the hands of an 80 year old. (We use gentle cleansers but water dehydrates.) I just finished Uriage’s Bariéderm Insulating Repairing Hand Cream, my boyfriend is finishing up Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Both are fragrance-free but the Kiehl’s one contains eucalyptus leaf oil, which gives it a scent but might irritate some skins. (It’s the reason I stopped using it as I think it might contain a tiny amount of linalool, which I am allergic to.) But I’ve used the Kiehl’s in the past and really liked it. It’s a quite thick texture but penetrates rapidly when you massage it in and doesn’t feel sticky. It contains things like shea butter, avocado oil, allantoin and glycerin that help soothe and nourish (very) dry skin. I liked the Uriage one as well: it contains mineral oil (I know not everyone likes it, I do when used for very dehydrated skin as it helps keep moisture in skin), glycerin, squalane and honey that has an antibacterial effect. It is easily absorbed so you can quickly resume your work. My hands are still a bit dry but not as dehydrated as they would be if I weren’t using hand cream after each wash. The reason why they are cut in half: you can still use them for about a week until they are 100% empty. Better for your wallet, better for the environment as you end up buying less hand creams in a year. #franxskincareempties #skincareempties #handcreamempty #handcream #coronahands #lockdownhandwashing #dryhands #uriage #bariederm #kiehls #ultimatestrengthhandsalve #presssample
This made me incredibly happy today: freshly baked bread - only I touched - and the obligatory slice with chocolate sprinkles. Baking it in a Dutch oven means you get a crusty crust thanks to the stream inside the pot and the loaf rises higher than when you just bake it on an oven tray. #lockdowncooking #fancybcooks #homebakedbread #dutchovenbread
When you make koi fish out of toilet roll to entertain the youngest one in the house but probably enjoy making them just as much as or even more than her. 🙊#toiletrollart #diychildrenactivity #koifishart #coronalockdownfun #lockdownchildrensactivities
Sunday Mask Day! The third lockdown edition. Taking care of my face and feet edition. Step 1. Cleanse with the gentle Sensitive Camomille cleansing cream by Yves Rocher. Step 2. I feel my chin and nose look a bit congested so using Primark’s Detox Clay Mask. Step 3. In the meantime peeling the rest of my face with Nannic. Step 4. Nourish with Glossier. I also did a mini DIY pedicure. Step 1. Scrubbed my feet with this gentle Clarins scrub. Step 2. Used the automatic foot file by Philips on the soles of my feet. Step 3. Treated them to Ceravé’s peeling and nourishing body cream. The brand has a foot cream as well but I prefer to multitask with this one.

Time for some lockdown and Corona distraction! If you like your skin looking like your skin but a bit better, one of these BB cream meets foundation hybrids might be your cup of tea. I tried and tested them all. (None of them are fragrance-free though.) They’re perfect for the most natural looking nude and glowy make-up, in case you want to impress your colleagues during the next video call. More on the blog.
