Hi, people! The three previous posts I wrote have been intense and more energy-consuming than I expected. All the fact-checking takes time. If you don’t know what I’m referring to, here are the links to them: Why I Love Micro-Needling Facials with LED Light Everything You Need to Know About a Damaged Skin Barrier The Truth About Moisturising in Winter Mornings Okay, let’s slowly breathe in from the nose, and very slowly breathe out between the lips. Love the power of breath.

Hi, Violet Gang! Happy September 1st! This week, I thought I’d write a product review - a product review of a body product: a deodorant stick by Corpus. I heard about this product from a campaign by Oh My Cream, if I remember correctly. Violette_fr had selected her favorite products, which were sold under the name Violette’s Favorites or something similar. I was smitten with its ultra-simple design and minimal texting. The color of the package is a muted mint with a cool, fre

Hi, Violet Gang! Happy summer holidays to you from me and my three cats: Enya, Fuksia and little Violetti. Here is my last post before my summer break in July. I wanted to follow up on my previous week's post, "Why doesn't 'clean' skincare work for me?" Last week, I studied myself on why so many “clean” skincare products have disappointed me. It’s not that they’re part of the "Clean Movement"—it’s that my extra-sensitive skin doesn’t tolerate just any formula, no matter how e

Hi, Violetines! Welcome to my new posting time on Mondays at 4 pm. EET! This post includes affiliate links. Last December, I enjoyed unboxing Typology’s advent calendar every day. This was part of my Violet Calendar Christmas Project on my Instagram. The journey was an exciting skincare discovery.

Hello Violetines! It is so lovely to see you here. In my last blog post, I talked about the best skincare ingredients for hormonal acne. You can read it here if you haven’t and want to. It is October now, and I have seen proper frost on the ground already. The Barnacle Geese are gathering their flock to move away from Finland for winter. It was nice to see you geese! Safe moving trip! Okay, let’s get into the topic of the moment. Cold weather dries out our skin for several re

Hello Violetines! This is my last post before my summer break in July. I chose Caudalie's Concentrated Brightening Glycolic Essence because I mentioned it in my last blog post about the summer skincare routine. It is a product I use myself. The texture is quite watery, but instead of using a cotton round or reusable cotton round, I just dropped it on the palm of my hands and applied it from there. I learned how to apply an essence by hand from the founder of Skin Rocks, Carol
