Beauty: La Solution 10 de CHANEL Sensitive Skin Cream

4 January, 2016 Nelia

chanel-la-solution-10-de-chanel-review
I’ve written about my reactive skin before, and while I’ve found a few non-irritating products that have worked for me in the past, I am always on the lookout for awesome sensitive skin finds. So when I heard about the new La Solution 10 de CHANEL ($106) specifically formulated for sensitive skin, I was intrigued and excited. Only 10 ingredients (carefully selected after 117 trials over the past 4 years), each chosen for its optimal skin tolerance and efficacy, put together in one classic package. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, oil-free, non-comedogenic, anti-pollution, dermatologist-tested…sign me up!

So, a couple of months later…does it live up to the hype? For me, it 100% does. After using La Solution 10 de CHANEL each and every morning, my skin feels and looks good. I absolutely love how soft my face feels after application. The cream soaks right into my skin, without leaving any greasy residue, and my makeup glides on smoothly. I also love that the cream has a mattifying effect, reducing shine and making pores look smaller. Now that the temperatures have dropped, I’ll begin layering a hydrating serum before application for an extra kick of moisture, but for now, La Solution 10 de CHANEL has been providing just the right amount of hydration, without irritating my skin.

As far as value goes, it’s certainly not cheap, but a little goes a long way, and I am still on my first bottle two months in. All in all, La Solution 10 de CHANEL is a keeper, and I’ll continue using it as part of my daily skincare regimen.

Beauty: Clinique Face Forward

22 September, 2015 Nelia

When LOULOU Magazine invited me to participate in the Clinique Face Forward campaign as part of their #LLSelfieCrew, I was ecstatic. I’ve always been a fan of Clinique, and have used (and loved) several products in the past. In recent years, however, I’ve been desperately trying anything and everything to calm my sensitive skin, with various degrees of success. After taking an assessment test on clinique.ca/face-forward, I was recommended products from the brand’s Moisture Surge and Redness Solutions lines.

As you may know already, I’ve been diagnosed with rosacea, and have been struggling with breakouts, redness, dryness, and general discomfort. I haven’t felt like I’ve been putting my best #FaceForward for a while, so this collaboration could not have come at a better time.

After trying out several products recommended to me, I fell in love with a few: Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is my new HG! I apply it at night as the last step of my routine, and wake up with dewy, lovely skin. It boosts my skin’s moisture levels, making flaky patches disappear. I also haven’t had a bad reaction to this product, despite my sensitive skin, which is a definite win.

Another product I love is Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser. This non-drying cream/gel is awesome at removing all traces of makeup, while keeping redness at bay. It also offers mild exfoliation to get rid of those dead skin cells.

I’ve also started using Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base Broad Spectrum SPF 15. My dermatologist was very adamant that sun protection for people with rosacea is a must, and while this oil-free makeup primer doesn’t actually feel like sunscreen, it still adds that protective step to my routine. Bonus points for the sheer green tint – once in a while I wear it instead of foundation since it helps neutralize any redness.

The #FaceForward program asks people to make a promise to the future and put it out there. My promise to my future self would be to love and take care of the skin I’m in – because, no matter the challenges, it’s the only one I’ve got, and with a little TLC and proper care, it can be lovely.

What would yours be? Share your promise to the future, using #FaceForward, and see what other women promise to their future selves.

Beauty: CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum Review

21 January, 2015 Nelia

chanel-hydra-beauty-micro-serum-diane-kruger
Lately, my skin has been a nightmare. After years of fairly good skin, I am now all-of-a-sudden faced with rosacea – inflamed, angry, red bumps all over my face. The extent of this problem is touch and go, getting better, getting worse, like a freaking yo-yo, which is why I’ve been very weary of a lot of skin products. I’ve been trying not to use too many new things on my sensitive skin, and only use products that come highly-recommended. Which is why I felt comfortable giving the new CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum a try. The Hydra Beauty line has a very passionate following (Diane Kruger is the gorgeous face of the line), and I hoped that this new micro serum could help get my skin through winter.

Almost immediately, I noticed that my skin (normally dry in patches by mid-afternoon) felt more hydrated, looking brighter and better just days after first use. It’s now been a couple of weeks, and I’m totally hooked. The camellia smell is lovely and refreshing, while the extra kick of moisture this micro serum provides is just what my skin needs during the winter months.
