My Cool Laser journey (Part 1)

Cleansers that properly remove makeup
Cleansers may not be the most exciting beauty product, but to my mind they’re one of the most important. Besides city grime, pollution and toxins, there’s also makeup to remove.

My micro-needling journey
A few months ago I embarked on three micro-needling sessions. I was drawn to do it as it’s minimally invasive and has been scientifically proven to have a real effect on the skin. So many skin treatments give little value for money Treatments are often extremely expensive, specially when doing a series of them, which is usually the case. It’s …
