Voya Even Pure

Voya Even Pure is called a "light calming moisturiser" which it is but so much more. To start at the beginning the packaging is beautiful and really intricate but with a simplicity about it ,it is essentially a lot of quotes relating to the voya brand all intertwined to look like a wave , how amazing is that concept! 

This as with anything I've ever tried from voya smells amazing it instantly transports my mind to a spa setting, it just oozes relaxation. 

This is primarily aimed towards oily skin but as I have combination skin I can vouch that it is suitable for all skin types. In fact with it's lightness I'm finding it the perfect skincare for daytime under makeup. 

The texture for me is very serum like it melts into skin like a fluid gel type loveliness (lol can you tell there isn't accurate words to describe this part) 

It has worked really well at mattifying my t-zone while still being hydrating. I find it can be really difficult to find a product that is genuinely suitable for combination skin and even though it's not exclusively marketed towards it, it should be as voya have really hit the nail on the head with this offering. 

Rebalancing after pregnancy :part one skincare

 Baby sparkle is now 8 months old and thankfully he now has a full bill of health. I'm not sure if it's the norm or if it's because I had a really difficult time after but my body just went crazy in particular my skin and hair. It took me about 6 months of trialing different products to finally get the right balance again, I am still searching for the right exfoliator to finish the routine so I'd love for you to comment with any reccomendations. 

I kept reading so much about a double cleanse I figured it would be a good place to start so I use 

Blumain organics cleansing oil

This is lovely as it's really gentle and adds moisture rather than taking away like most cleansers. This also has the added bonus of being completely natural. 

Rrp: €19.95

Followed by 

NIA cleansing balm 

This is a little touch of luxury for daily routine it comes in a fab tin with cloths included. You apply onto face with sticks provided( I couldn't get hang so used my fingers!) it feels lovely on leaves a really nice softness and again isn't drying at all. 

Rrp: €19.95

For toner I have been using 

Lotion yonka 

I absolutely love this it's pure luxury but really good value for money as the bottle goes very far. Just a little spritz adds lovely glow to your face and keeps it from drying. It smells amazing too a definite favorite that will be repurchased for many years to come. 

Rrp: €30.50

 For moisturiser and this little treasure from NeoStrata 

Its a really moisturising really comfortable cream and like it says on the tin it really does restore! 

My skin before was deeply lined, greyish looking and plagued with flaky patches around my nose, chin, hairline and brows. Even thinking back makes me shudder. 

My skin after is a lot more youthful looking its softer and holds moisture in a huge leap forward from the dehydrated mess I started with! 

Rrp: €46.95 40g 

As I said I'm still on the hunt for the right exfoliator as the ones I have always used are way too harsh for me now.
