I’m finally back! And
yes, this time I’m back for good so expect more frequent content! Third year at
University was so hectic that I had to take a step back from blogging to focus
on my studies. And then work got in the way so I still didn’t have time to
organise my thoughts, produce content, shoot and write. But now, finally, I can
announce that I’ll be graduating this November (which is super exciting!) and things
have calmed down at work so I’m super glad to be back – writing for you who
stuck by me during this one hell of a hiatus!
So let’s get to
it, shall we?
A while ago, I was
generously given a set of skincare products by Beauty Care Malta to try out and
review for you lovelies. Since I’ve had them for quite a while (read: months),
I tested them out and had time to see results so I’m now fully able to give you
my true and honest opinions about them.
Ziaja is not a
brand we’re familiar with in Malta, especially since it’s a Polish manufacturer
of pharmaceuticals imported by a new company in Malta. After testing them for a
while, the products seemed to work quite well for my combination, acne-prone
skin. Let’s get on with the review:
Manuka Tree
Purifying Normalising Cleansing Gel:
In the beginning,
I used to use this cleansing gel everyday however, after a while I noticed that
it was drying me out quite a bit. So now, I use this cleansing gel 3 times a
week, and on the days I don’t use it I use something gentler. It is soap-free
so it makes it less irritating, especially for those of you who suffer with
sensitive skin and overall I find that it cleanses my skin and prepares it for
the next step quite well.
Manuka Tree
Purifying Deeply Cleansing Peeling Paste:
Unfortunately, I
have a love/hate relationship with this product due to the fact that I find it
too abrasive. Skin types change over time, as did mine, and my skin type
although earlier I said that it is combination and acne-prone, it is also quite
dehydrated so the abrasive granules in this peeling paste scrub my skin way too
hard.
Manuka Tree
Purifying Astringent Face Toner:
This face toner is
amazing! I love using it after I cleanse and tone my face, as it gives it a cooling
and soothing effect. It contains organic acids which gently exfoliate the skin,
soothe acne lesions and reduced dilated pores.
Manuka Tree
Purifying Normalising Day Cream (SPF 10):
As a normalising
day cream, this product moisturises my skin without leaving it shiny as it
provides a slight mattifying effect. It is also supposed to reduce blackheads
and skin imperfections however, on my skin, it didn’t work out as well as I
hoped. Although it contains SPF 10, I
would recommend that you use a stronger SPF on top of it since it only contains
a low level of protection.
Manuka Tree Purifying
Gently Exfoliating Night Cream with Almond Acid:
This product
smells amazing! Not that the others don’t, but this one smells even better. Three
times a week, I like to conclude my skin care routine with this product as I
find that it helps dry out any spots I have. However, I also found that if I
used it every day, it was making my skin way too dry so I tried to limit use to
three times a week. I also like the fact that it moisturises and brightens my
complexion which I definitely like in a product.
That’s it,
lovelies! Hope you enjoyed reading my first blog post since I returned! Let me
know if there are any products you’d like me to review or any topics you’d like
me to talk about!
Happy Saturday!
Love, Thereseanne
