DRY SKIN vol.1, SUCHA PLET c.1

Mile Damy, Dear Ladies,

(English is in blue italic font)

V zimnych mesiacoch vela z nas trpi suchou pletou/pokozkou. Niektore mate az supinatu pokozku a popraskane pery. Mozno mate na tieto veci svoje recepty, ja som vam chcela dat svoje osvedcene typy. 

Lot of us suffer with dry skin in winter. Some of us even have dry patches and blotchy skin. You might have your own ways how to treat dry skin. I would like to share my ideas with you. (English continues further down)

Dalo by sa to zhrnut v troch bodoch, ktore vam postupne priblizim. 
1. Spravna starostlivost o plet (denne, tyzdenne, mesacne ritualy) 
2. Volba spravneho kremu
3. Volba spravneho podkladoveho make-upu a jeho aplikacia


1. Dnes vam poviem nieco o Spravnej starostlivosti o plet  -  



Najdolezitejsie je (a toto musim najviac zdoraznit) ODLICOVANIE vecer. Aj ked sme uz nadovsetko unavene, najdime si aspon 5 minut na odlicenie pleti pred spanim, plet sa vam za to odvdaci tym, ze vrasky pridu pozdejsie a v mensom rozsahu! Ja som zastancom rychleho odlicenia - s pomocou odlicovacej emulzie, ktora sa napeni a nou sa odlici vsetok make-up aj ocne partie. Vela znamych sa ma pyta ci ma nestipu pri tom oci? Odpoved je nie, lebo ich mam zavrete a ked si ich zavrete emulziou pretriem hned si celu tvar oplachnem a nema ma co v ociach stipat. Dokonca su specialne mydla na suchu pokozku ako od Biodermy alebo od Dove. S mydlom ale opatrne, ak pouzijete obycajne mydlo a nie mydlo urcene pre suchu plet moze vam ju este viac vysusit a to urcite nechcete. Takze odlicit sa treba kazdy den
Ci uz zvolite formu kremoveho odlicovaca alebo emulzie necham to na vas, kazda z nas uz s odlicovanim ma ake take skusenosti ;) Ale jedna vec mi neda, vela zien sa odlicuje nedokonale, tak ze zbytky maskary im stale zostanu pri korienkoch mihalnic - to sposobuje vsetko mozne od necistot, ktore sa vam mozu dostat do oka a mozu sposobit infekciu, az po predcasne starnutie. Nedokonalemu odliceniu mozte predijst tym, ze pouzijete emulziu (preto ju pouzivam aj ja).

It could be summarised in 3 simple steps:
1. Choosing the right skincare and skin routines (daily, weekly and monthly)
2. Choosing the right moisturiser
3. Choosing the right foundation (foundation application) 

Today I will tell you about the first step: 
1. Choosing the right skincare and skin routines 
The most important thing (and I can NOT emphasise this enough) is REMOVING MAKE-UP before going to bed!!! No matter how tired you are, find some strength in you to spend 5 minutes on your skin and it will repay you by looking young longer and you won't have panda eyes in the morning ;) 
I personally love gel or mouse make-up removers - it's the quickest way how to remove make-up 100%. Lots of you ask me if this stings my eyes, but until your eyes remain closed it doesn't ;) You have a great range of make-up remover gels and mouses available from Bioderma (see pics below) one range is especially designed for dry or dehydrated skin. Watch out for soaps as they may dry your skin out even more (unless you use soaps designed for dry skin - Dove, Bioderma). So the thing you should do everyday is..... ??? - REMOVE YOUR MAKE-UP!!! Doesn't matter if you use a cream remover or a gel one, I leave that one up to you, but make sure you do it properly. Cream make-up removers can leave a residue on your skin especially in the under eye area, which can cause skin irritation or eye infection - that is the reason I choose gel removers. 


Bioderma Atoderm mouse gel/ penovy cistiaci gel
Bioderma Atoderm gel / emulzia
















Dove sensitive skin soap bar/ mydlo 




Bioderma Atoderm soap bar/ mydlo




















Bioderma Hydrabio H2O cleanser / cistiaca voda
Cleansing milk/ cistiace mlieko




















Niektore zeny trpia supinatou pletou hlavne v zime a hlavne v zonach ako brada, celuste a nos. Aj tomuto sa da pomoct aj uplne predijst pomocou jemneho peelingu. Suchej pleti by mal stacit raz do tyzdna (skuste Bioderma Hydrabio kremovy peeling).

Some women suffer with blotchy or flaky skin mostly on areas like chin, jaws and nose. You can help to overcome this by using a gentle cream scrub once a week. Try Bioderma Hydrabio creme scrub - pic below

Ku kozmeticke by ste mali zavitat tak raz do mesiaca, ked uz nie na cistenie pleti tak na dobru masaz, ktora vam krasne prekrvi pokozku a napomoze prevencii vrasok - a je to predsa forma relaxu ;) 

You should visit a beautician once a month for a relaxing face massage or some nice face mask as a form of relaxation that is very beneficial for you. Not only you'll feel relaxed but your skin will feel and look great. 



Dalsie dva kroky:
2. Volba spravneho kremu
a 3. Volba spravneho podkladoveho make-upu a jeho aplikacia
vam prinesiem v dalsom blogu uz o par dni ;) jeeej ;) 

I will talk about the other 2 steps 
2. Choosing the right moisturiser
and 3. Choosing the right foundation (foundation application) 
in the next blog, in a couple of days ;) yay



till then .... XOXO SOPHIA
