Haul: Avène Eau Thermale & Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure

Eau Thermale Avène

Six weeks of using Gamila Secret has left me stuck with some acne and lots of blackheads. And now it is time to get rid of them. I've been contemplating whether I should go back to my old familiar Eucerin products or that I should try something different. So as you can guess by the title of this entry I eventually went with the 'something different': Eau Thermale Avene. Why? Well it was an easy decision once I found out that Eucerin tested their products on animals when Avene does not. And besides that I remembered my dermatologist telling me about Avene years ago, but I never really gave it a try because I didn't have the money then to buy all necessary products (cleaner, lotion, cream). But now I lucky do.

I bought all of these products from Dermatheek Check the Avène website for more information about the products and to find a store near you.

And of course it didn't take me long to return to my favorite hair-products after trying Gamila Secret as a shampoo for a week. And since my Bonacure-stash was running out I bought two of my favs again.  I've been using it for over 5 years now and I keep running back every time I try out another brand. 

The Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure products are exclusive to hair salons, but can also be bought through several online shops. I've got the luck there's an hair salon who sells Bonacure about 5 minutes away from my home.

Kruidvat Selftanner Lotion

This product was recommended to me by a fellow student. She had a gorgeous tan and I asked her what she used. I always use Australian Gold Forever Bronze, but it stains and gives me an unnatural look so I decided to try this one out. She said that she also used it on her face and that's what I'm planning to do. It also saves me a lot of money since it's a lot cheaper (huge understatement) than Australian Gold and much easier to get here in the Netherlands.

For a gradual tanning-effect

Suited for all skin types

€2,- / 500 ml
