In this blog post, we’ll explore the best heart face shape hairstyles for males—offering tips, trends, and expert advice to help you find a look that highlights your best features and suits your personal style.

Perfect Heart Face Shape Hairstyles and Haircuts for Men

When it comes to styling hair for men with a heart-shaped face, the goal is to balance the wider forehead and the narrower chin for a well-proportioned look. Perfect heart face shape hairstyles for males are designed to add volume around the jawline while avoiding too much height on top, which can exaggerate the forehead’s width. Classic options like textured fringe hairstyles work wonderfully, as the fringe helps to soften the forehead and draws attention downward. Side-swept bangs are another excellent choice, providing asymmetry that complements the face shape beautifully. For those who prefer shorter styles, a layered cut with some volume on the sides creates the illusion of a wider jawline, achieving a harmonious balance. On the other hand, longer hairstyles that add fullness around the chin and jaw—such as medium-length waves or loose curls—can perfectly accentuate the natural contours of a heart-shaped face. Whether you opt for a clean undercut, a tousled crop, or a sleek side part, the key is to choose a hairstyle that highlights your best features and complements your unique face shape.

LED Light Therapy Face Mask Benefits : Myth busting, key information + FAQs answered.

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


Which is the best LED mask 2025AD – This is a sponsored post with Currentbody – all words and views are my own.

LED Light Therapy has become very popular in the last few years for targeting a number of skin and health concerns, however there is still many misconceptions surrounding LED technology and if it actually works. So I am going to try and give you the answers to the most frequently asked questions about light therapy, talk through the misconceptions and hopefully make it all a little easier to understand.

I have used LED light therapy masks for many years, I have used a few different brands and I now exclusively use Currentbody as I have found the best results from using their masks. I wholly trust their clinical research , science-backing and I think the results always speak for themselves.

Having said that, by no means am I saying it’s the only LED light therapy mask that will work for you – there are some other GREAT ones on the market, but you definitely do need to do your research into the brand, what clinical proof they have that their devices actually work, what wavelengths they use, and also I think it is VERY important to buy from a reputable brand. With the surge of LED popularity, there are some questionable devices currently on the market and you are honestly wasting your money on some of these. Let’s get into it!

Which is the best LED mask 2025

COMMON MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS!

These are some of the most common questions and concerns I am asked about LED masks. 

‘Red light can cause melasma and make pigmentation worse’

There is no clinical data or research carried out to back any such claims and much of this is a misunderstanding of how LED light treats the skin over time and helps to improve skin tone and texture. It can really help fade marks and pigmentation on the skin and help with healing and scarring also.

‘The LED light can harm your eyes’

The LED lights used within the Currentbody masks are completely safe for your eyes, however they do provide eye inserts if you feel any discomfort from the brightness when you are using it. I personally do not use the inserts and now just use it as an excuse to have 10 minutes of shut-eye and relaxation. 

‘The LED light can burn your skin’

The Currenbody LED’s do NOT generate heat, so will not burn and is completely pain-free. There is no downtime and after-use you can simply apply your skincare and carry straight on with your day (or evening!).

‘Red Light therapy isn’t suitable for people with darker skin’

People with darker skin tones can safely use red light therapy. Melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, does not block or reduce the effectiveness of red light therapy.

‘LED doesn’t penetrate the skin’

The Currentbody LED masks can penetrate up to 10mm into the skin. Different wavelengths of light penetrate at different depths, with deep near-infrared penetrating to the deepest layers. This is clinically proven and as you can see from my personal results in the photos below, it’s absolutely working.

‘These LED masks all do the same, why spend £300 when you can spend £30!’

Yeah…no.  I speak about this a little more in-depth below but in short – these are high-tech devices ; a lot of post-production testing is needed, clinical testing, and a lot of the cheaper devices on the market (I’ve seen them in supermarkets!) will do absolutely nothing to improve your skin. The wavelengths they are using are not going to penetrate the skin or do anything except make your face feel a little warm.

LED MASK SKIN BENEFITS : THE TRUTH.

Do they REALLY work? Are they just a fad?

Light therapy has been used for decades to treat and heal the skin. Light therapy was originally developed by NASA for healing wounds in space. in the 1990’s the US Navy Seals began using it and shortly after, aestheticians introduced it into their treatment rooms. LED light therapy is backed by clinical data that is will help skin repair, stimulate collagen, fade age spots, decrease inflammation and smooth the skin.

Top skin clinics  have been using LED light therapy for many years now for this reason and the results of light therapy are cumulative, so you need to have treatment frequently and be consistent. This is where LED at-home masks have stepped in : an affordable way to get clinic-like results. LED masks have just seen in a surge in popularity in recent years and quite rightly so. I have personally seen the results that you can get from using LED and I have shared my before and afters below. 

What results will you see from using an LED light therapy mask?

The key benefits that LED red light therapy will have for your skin is helping with scarring, acne, redness, This has all been clinically proven, over many years and many times. People will see varying results, of course and it does also depend on the condition on your skin in the first place. As I say every time I talk about using LED masks, you do need to be conscious of using a decent skincare routine alongside CONSISTENT use of the LED mask.

If you want to know all the in’s and out’s of how to use the mask / how often etc then do check out my post here which is all about the Currentbody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2. 

My personal results :

These are my before and after photo’s after using the Currentbody Skin LED light therapy mask for the face and then more recently, the Currentbody Skin LED Neck & Décolletage Mask. These images are unedited and the true results I got from the masks.

BLUE LIGHT VS RED LIGHT.

Do you need to use both blue and red light? Let’s quickly chat about it and why you may need one over the other or even both!..

Red Light Therapy 

This is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function and promote healing and rejuvenation. Red light therapy will target redness and hyperpigmentation , improve skin texture, inflammation, acne scarring and fine lines. Everyone can use and benefit from red light therapy.

Blue Light Therapy

Blue light therapy gets absorbed by the cells on the skin’s surface, specifically targeting spot-causing bacteria. It’s a common misconception that Blue Light is good for everyone however  it might not be right for your skin if you do not have active acne. Extended use of Blue light therapy may cause: pigmentation, skin sensitivity and irritation.

The Currentbody blue light mask combines with red light therapy to also target redness and inflammation and healing scars which commonly go hand-in-hand with symptoms of acne.

NOT ALL LED MASKS ARE EQUAL, HERE IS WHY.

Accuracy of testing.

A lot of LED masks make certain claims of efficacy yet once the mask is actually tested, it often shows big variations  in the of the strength of LED bulbs and the actual true wavelengths it emits. This will cause uneven distribution of the light therapy so you may get very different results from one mask to the other – from the same brand! 

Currentbody are the ONLY LED device brand who own both their production and testing. The transparency of their Vertitace system is unmatched and you can check the results, the testing and efficacy of your very own Currentbody mask. Below you can see the Veritace production process from my card that came with my Currentbody Skin LED Neck & Décolletage Mask Series 2 ; every series 2 mask now has this. You simply tap your phone onto the unique card and it will take you directly to your personal mask and it will show you the testing it has been through and the all-important results and key information. 

You can use code LAURACB to get 10% on all Currentbody LED masks. Shop here!

Placement of bulbs.

More does not mean better and the placement of the bulbs and the type of wavelength they emit is really important. LED bulbs emit a 60% ‘light spread’ so they will overlap. If there is too many bulbs on a mask this overstimulate and overheat the skin without improving the results you get. If there are too few LED bulbs you won’t get an optimum light overlap, so the results won’t be as good. 

Type of Red Light.

The type of red light is very important. For example when using red light, it is beneficial to also use near-infrared alongside it to boost the red light benefits. One to the other alone won’t give great results.

The Currentbody series 2 masks use THREE clinically proven wavelengths as opposed to 2 which most LED masks use :  these are red, near-infrared and  and deep near-infrared. The deep near-infrared have been positioned in the areas where we see the more intense signs of ageing. On the Series 2 face mask this is around the eye and mouth area. On the Series 2 Neck and Dec this is down the middle / chest area where we often see most crepiness and lines.

which is the best LED mask 2025 which is the best LED mask 2025

There are many amazing LED masks on the market, but please do your research, see true before and after’s and always buy from a reputable company. See if they have independent clinical trials and what the results show.  Do the digging and scratch below the surface. As a small side note : LED masks should not be cheap! The amount of science and development that should go into these devices reflects in the price. These are a true skin investment that should last you many years. You also want to choose a brand that have good customer service and aftercare if you so need.

which is the best LED mask 2025

CONSISTENCY IS KEY WITH LED!

I say this all the time – there is absolutely no point in spending hundreds of pounds on an LED mask and not using it consistently and properly and then being disappointed with the results. For LED light therapy to work, you need to be using it at least 5 times a week and to see good results, for at least 8 weeks. Alongside this, please consider a good, consistent skincare routine. If you aren’t looking after your skin and think by slapping an LED mask over the top will solve all your skin problems you are not going to get the results you want. Be realistic, take the time to use the device and also – take a photo in good lighting BEFORE you start using LED. sometimes you may think it’s not doing much but when you compare before and after images you can really see these improvements.

So I hope that has helped de-bunk some myths surrounding LED masks and has answered all the questions you may have. If there is anything I have not covered please feel free to drop any questions below or over on my Instagram @Lauraloumakeup and I will get back to you.

I have a code which is LAURACB which will give you 10% off on all LED masks over on Currentbody so feel free to use that if you decide to treat yourself to one of these amazing masks! They are a skin investment for sure, but something I am sure you will see great results from, alongside a decent skincare routine with consistent use.

21 On-Point Diamond Face Shape Hairstyles for Women

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


The diamond-shaped face has very pronounced and memorable facial features. Therefore, choosing the right haircut and styling for a diamond face shape is not so easy and rather responsible. To facilitate this process and reduce the time of choice we have selected twenty-one best hairstyles for diamond faces. You can find hairstyle ideas with different styling options, lengths, colors, and structures.

Recognizing a Diamond Face Shape

The diamond face shape has more angular features than an oval shape. Bright features of a diamond face shape are: high cheekbones, a narrow and pointed chin, and also a narrow jawline, and the hairline tends to come to a more angular point. In this case, your face is longer than it is wide.

Why Certain Hairstyles Compliment a Diamond Face

Different lengths, structures, and styling of hair differently play with any face shape and diamond shape is not an exception. As a rule, long wavy or straight hair softens the angular features of the diamond shape of the face. Short and flattering, structured haircuts emphasize the cheekbones and jaw. The styling of bangs helps to hide the flick of a small or large forehead.

Hairstyles for a Diamond-Shaped Face

If you follow this guide with hairstyles for diamond shape faces and pick a couple of options to your liking, you’ll spare yourself from the burden of trying to balance out the face where the cheekbones stand out, and the chin is too narrow. We’ve done everything for you: just explore the gallery and save your top picks:

Updo With Side-Swept Bangs

@hairupbydevonne

How to highlight the facial features as much as possible? Gather the hair and open the face, leaving a small detail in the form of side-swept bangs, as in the photo. Side-swept bangs don’t only finish the look but also visually elongate a narrow forehead. You can make a smaller bun and then this hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face will be more casual. Or, for a formal event, make the same voluminous bun and complement it with hair accessories.

Chin length Bob

Chin length Bob

@firriolo_andrea

Blunt bob cuts suit not only a diamond face shape but also an oval face shape. Even though the paradigm of “long hair – femininity” is going away becoming a relic of the past, girls still more often choose to have long hair. So, short hairstyles are definitely about emphasizing a personal style. And to add more playfulness to the look, make soft curls like in the photo. The length of your bob will always be at the level of your chin, you need to go for a trim at least once a month, but the procedure doesn’t take much time. Also, you’d better avoid a middle parting and shift it at least a bit to the side.

Layered Medium Length Cut with Blunt Bangs

Layered Medium Length Cut with Blunt Bangs

@mary.luxhairandbeauty

The layered haircut is versatile and suits almost all face shapes. The diamond-shaped face is no exception. And let’s be honest. What could be better than face-framing layers to draw attention to your beautiful features? To create such voluminous ends of hair, you need to use a hair dryer and a brush, the diameter of which is suitable for your hair length. Don’t be scared, it’s not difficult at all, watch a few tutorials and with each attempt, everything will come out easier and faster, even with long layers.

Wavy Locks Balayage

Wavy Locks Balayage

@hairby_jodiex

Loose waves and balayage are among the best hairstyles for diamond face shapes. Oh my god, that’s such a good match. Reflecting the sun’s rays, this hairstyle will be perfect for a warm summer day. But don’t be in a hurry to re-colour and straighten your wavy hair when autumn comes. This hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face will also be a ray of light in the gloomy days of fall. The moment when it is not necessary to cut layers to emphasize the features of the face, in this case, this role is played by the face-framing highlights.

Cropped Pixie Cut

Cropped Pixie Cut

@jannat.mehmood_

How to draw attention to what an unusual style you have? Make a pixie cut, of course. It is bold, feminine, daring and easy-going. The pixie cut will show all the angular features of the diamond-shaped face, emphasizing the pointed chin and the gorgeous cheekbones. This haircut is as easy as possible to style but requires regular visits to the hairdresser to maintain the length. An overgrown pixie looks very sloppy.

Cascading Curls

Cascading Curls

@linzdelauderhair

At first glance, this is a straightforward hairstyle, but it will brighten up your overall appearance. You can have natural curls or create wavy hair with styling, it is not so important. The main accent of this haircut is the cascade at the face, the long layers of which make this hairstyle for a diamond-shape face so voluminous, light, and bright at the same time.

Long, Soft Curls

Long, Soft Curls

@thelittlegypsysalon

A perfect hairstyle for any occasion. A day at the office, a meeting with friends, a date, or a family party. This hairstyle for a diamond face shape is suitable for every event. If you have thick straight hair, which is more difficult to curl, use a flat iron and hair-fixing products. Try to make curls about the same width. And if you are the winner gifted with natural curls, try the “curly method” for more resistant twists.

Soft Side-swept bangs

Soft Side-swept bangs

@otakucrystal

Soft side swept bangs are a great way to slightly elongate a narrow forehead. We can compare this haircut for diamond-shaped faces to a play in the theatre, where the side swept bangs play the main role and the textured layers are secondary, but not less important. And all this cast is created to frame your beautiful diamond-shaped face.

Side-Parted Lob With Face-Framing Bangs

Side-Parted Lob With Face-Framing Bangs

@savi_textures

This hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face looks simple at first glance, but the side bangs and deep side parting will make you stand out from the crowd. The face-framing bangs look like a flattering frame and seem to highlight the prominent features of your diamond face shape. Sometimes, bangs swept like this can get in the way when doing a routine, but that’s no reason not to get this haircut. Keep a few hair clips nearby in case you need to remove them off the face for a while.

Volumized Curly Lob With Bangs

Volumized Curly Lob With Bangs

@hair_georgedivision

Bold, stylish and unusual – that’s all about hairstyles for diamond-shaped faces like this. It’s the ultimate fashion statement in your look. A great way to stylize natural curls – a mixture of shoulder-length hair and curly bangs. But be careful such blunt bangs are more suitable for those with a broad forehead.

Chin-Length Bob with Wispy Bangs

Chin-Length Bob with Wispy Bangs

@yumemidreams

You will agree that blunt bob cuts are very cute. And a bob with wispy bangs is twice as cute. Such a hairstyle is more suitable for girls with diamond-shaped faces but with a type of baby face. Here, short hair frames the narrow jawline, and bangs play for a narrow forehead.

Long and Curly With Side Part

Long and Curly With Side Part

@oliviascanu

Curly, long hair is such a rare and perfect beauty. Of course, in such a case you need special hair care and more time for styling. But curly girls, we swear, you have won the genetic lottery. And if you have wavy and porous hair, try the “curl method” (there is a lot of information about this on the Internet). You may have the same beautiful curls as a variation of the best hairstyles for diamond faces.

Wavy Shag With Fringe

Wavy Shag With Fringe

@wavysoulhair

Shag haircut belongs to flattering haircuts and is suitable for both diamond-shaped face and oval face shape. A soft fringe is an essential part of the sheg haircut and it gives the image a finished look. You can try this haircut without hair coloring or experiment with color, as shown in the picture.

Long and Tousled With Middle Part

Long and Tousled With Middle Part

@tousledhair

Long twists with a middle part are probably the most popular hairstyle. And this hairstyle will soon become the record holder in terms of long-term relevance. It hasn’t lost popularity since the early 2000s, amazingly.

Short Shag with Fringe

Short Shag with Fringe

@jessi_cosmicrevival

If you have a fine hair texture and a narrow hairline, a short shag haircut is ideal for the sharp features of the diamond face. Short textured layers create extra volume, and the short hair length is easy and quick to style. The only thing is that such a haircut for a diamond face shape requires regular trimming.

Long Bob with Deep Side Parting

Long Bob with Deep Side Parting

@longbobcorte

Short hairstyles are perfect for those who have thick straight hair because with this hair structure, the shape of the short haircut will last all day. The deep side part gives this image more mystery, and the strands for the most part brightly emphasize the diamond face shape features, especially high cheekbones.

Trendy Bixie Cut

Trendy Bixie Cut

@katjacatwork

The bixie haircut is something new and not yet very well known to the general audience, but it’s already becoming a trend. We can also call it a pixie bob. It looks like a mixture of these two great haircuts, doesn’t it? It’s the result of a successful experiment and it was worth it. Just look at how well it emphasizes all the angular features of the diamond-shaped face, especially the prominent cheekbones and narrow chin.

French Bob with Long Bangs

French Bob with Long Bangs

@katjacatwork

Megan Fox style – bold and sexy. For this haircut, it is better to have a narrower forehead, but by experimenting with the length and density of bangs you can make such a variant of short haircut and for a wide forehead. Keep it in mind that the neat appearance of bangs and the length of the bob should be constantly trimmed at the hair master. You should also consult with your mother about the bangs. Such bangs will not suit all the diamond face shapes, maybe they will choose a slightly different option for you.

Messy Hairstyle for Diamond Faces

Messy Hairstyle for Diamond Faces

@bashirova_hairstyle

Look at those gorgeous cheekbones and how cool a messy haircut accentuates them. Messy wavy hair, long layers and a side parting, well very hot. A messy haircut for long hair is the ultimate in naturalistic fun. This hairstyle is the most universal and will fit exactly not only diamond-shaped face. It is also suitable for girls with any width of the forehead and chin.

A Slicked-Back Chin-Length Bob

A Slicked-Back Chin-Length Bob

@gabrielasussman

Another way to style a bob. This option is not often seen in everyday life, but for a special event, it is perfect. Imagine how beautiful your diamond-shaped face will look with this hairstyle. You can fix it with hair-fixing products or use small hair clips in the back.

Styling tips for diamond face shapes

Emphasize your eyes. Draw attention to your beautiful eyes by using different makeup techniques. This helps to shift the focus upwards and balance out the wide-set cheekbones.

Smooth-out angles: add loose curls or waves to your hairstyle to add femininity and gentleness to your look. A side parting or hairstyle with asymmetry or a slicked-back look can balance the appearance of the cheekbones and create a more balanced frame for the diamond face shapes.

Layers that frame the face: layers around the prominent cheekbones can add volume and create a more balanced look. Face-framing layers smooth corners and draw attention to the centre of the face, highlighting the total beauty of diamond-shaped faces.

FAQs

  • What hairstyles to avoid with a diamond face shape?

Although diamond-shaped faces are suitable for many hairstyles, there are still some hairstyles that you should avoid. But that doesn’t mean that the haircuts listed below won’t work for a diamond-shaped face. You can also choose them, but it’s best to consult your hair stylist before you do. So: 1) Blunt bob hairstyles are often unsuitable for a diamond-shaped face. A blunt bob with straight, jaw-length strands can draw attention to the angle of the lower jaw and the width of the cheekbones, giving the face a square, soft look; 2) Center parted hair. The flaws of a diamond-shaped face, such as the width of the cheekbones and a sharp chin, can be emphasized with a centre-parted haircut, which will make the whole face more angular. 3) Long or straight bangs that extend to the eyebrows may not suit a diamond-shaped face. Full bangs can visually expand the forehead and at the same time emphasize the narrow chin line.

  • Are diamond-shaped faces attractive?

Yes, a diamond-shaped face is recognized as an attractive face shape. Celebrities like Megan Fox, Christy Turlington, Rihanna and Angelina Jolie are perfect examples of this face shape. And they’re all insanely beautiful, aren’t they? This unique facial structure gives people with a diamond shape face a sophisticated, exotic or even royal look. People with diamond faces are really rarely left without attention to their beauty, and a suitable haircut only emphasizes it.

  • Is layered hair good for a diamond face?

Facial framing layers starting at the chin look great on diamond-shaped faces. The reason for this is that layers soften a strong chin and jawline. Layers will also add movement and volume to the hair, giving an overall softer look. Also, layers give ordinary hairstyles a more interesting and unusual style. When you go to a hair stylist ask them to match you with the thickness and length of layers that will suit you. And don’t hesitate to ask for some tips on styling your new hairstyle at home.

Bottom Line

Maybe, choosing a haircut for a diamond-shaped face is not such a simple process. But the variety of options of hairstyles for diamond face, presented above, will not leave you indifferent. Be bold, don’t be afraid to experiment with the length or color of your hair, or stick to what you’re confident in – it doesn’t matter. You can show this guide to your hair stylist and they will help you choose the best haircut for a diamond-shaped face for you. And remember, you have a beautiful diamond face and you are gorgeous with any haircut, any hair color, any hair length, and any styling. Amen!

5 Problems Women Face in Their Weight Loss Journey

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


It’s a fact that men tend to lose weight faster than women because they have more muscle mass, which helps burn calories faster. Additionally, women’s hormones play a significant role in weight gain and loss. We do know that women encounter a lot of issues that can slow down weight loss, but the good news is that most of these can be changed with just a little bit of effort. In this post, we talk in detail about 5 Problems Women Face in Their Weight Loss Journey and how these can be changed.

Amazing Weight Loss Tips For Women

1. Hormonal Fluctuations:

Women’s hormones play a crucial role in weight management. Estrogen is linked to fat storage, especially around the hips and thighs, and its fluctuations can increase appetite and slow down metabolism. Progesterone levels rise during the latter part of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, causing temporary weight gain due to increased water retention and appetite. Also insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels, can affect fat storage, posing challenges for women with insulin resistance when trying to lose weight. Additionally, thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) control metabolism, and imbalances can result in weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts. These hormonal imbalances can be managed by maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels and support hormone balance. You can find such weight loss diets on the Rati Beauty diet plan. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details. Needless to mention, regular exercise can improve metabolism and aid in weight loss. Most importantly, do not forget to consult with a certified doctor to address any hormonal imbalances.

2. PCOD/Insulin Resistance:

PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and insulin resistance can make it really tough for women to lose weight. When your body becomes insulin resistant, it struggles to turn sugar into energy, so it stores more fat instead. This makes it harder to shed extra pounds because your body is holding onto fat instead of burning it for fuel. So, even if you’re eating right and exercising, it can still be really challenging to lose weight when you have PCOD or insulin resistance. Managing PCOD and insulin resistance involves lifestyle changes and medical interventions. Switch to a healthy diet, cutting down sugar, refined carbs, and including foods rich in fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats. Regular exercise, even if it’s brisk walking can improve insulin sensitivity. Most importantly, consulting with a doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan is essential to treat PCOD and reverse insulin resistance.

3. Chronic Stress:

Let’s face it – juggling between life and work can put women under a lot of stress. Cortisol, which is also called the stress hormone, can go out of whack with chronic stress. Cortisol can make you feel hungry, increase cravings for unhealthy food and sugar, and facilitate storage of fat, mostly around your belly. When you’re constantly stressed, your body releases more cortisol, and if this happens a lot, it can lead to extra fat in your tummy area. That’s why many women struggle with belly fat, especially when they’re feeling stressed out. To fight stress and support weight loss, women may practice relaxation methods like deep breathing or yoga. Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking, dancing, or cycling, can also reduce stress and boost mood. Additionally, seeking social support from friends, family, or support groups can provide encouragement and help manage stress. Indulging in hobbies can also distract from stressors and promote overall well-being. Also read: “5 Main Reasons For Belly Fat in Women.”

4. Leptin and Ghrelin Imbalance:

Leptin and ghrelin are like little messengers in your body that control your hunger and fullness. When they’re not balanced, it can be tough to lose weight. Leptin tells your brain when you’re full, but if you have too much body fat, your brain might not listen to it as well, so you keep feeling hungry. Ghrelin, on the other hand, tells your brain when you’re hungry. If you have too much ghrelin or your body doesn’t respond to it like it should, you might feel hungry all the time, even when you don’t need to eat. So, when these hormones are out of whack, it can mess up your appetite signals and make it harder to stick to a healthy eating plan and lose weight. Cutting out sugar, processed food and switching to a healthy diet can bring the leptin-ghrelin hormones into balance.

5. Not Finding Enough Time For Sleep and Rest:

Achieving work-life balance can be tougher for women, and this struggle can contribute to weight gain. Women often juggle multiple responsibilities, including work and household duties. Balancing these demands can leave little time and energy for self-care activities like exercise and meal preparation. Additionally, a lot of women prioritize others’ needs over their own well-being. Stress from trying to manage it all can lead to emotional eating and disrupted sleep patterns, both of which can contribute to weight gain over time. Furthermore, workplace environments may lack support for working mothers, such as flexible schedules or childcare assistance, making it even more challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Do make yourself a priority and find time to rest and rejuvenate and construct a sleep routine which gives you at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Just by making this change, you would see a major change in your weight loss game.

CHANEL Sublimage Purifying & Radiance Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


You know what I haven’t used for a really long time? A physical exfoliator. I’m also looking for a good face mask because it feels like I haven’t ‘masked’ for ages and when I go through the extensive range of products I have here, there is only one that I feel even vaguely tempted by. I think I have some on the way from a new brand so I’ll save a masking post for another time, but my exfoliator wish has been granted and I have the CHANEL Sublimage Purifying & Radiance Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub.

Call me shallow, but it was a thrill to discover that the mask is black – I just wasn’t expecting it at all – but it’s because it’s so packed with vanilla seed. It turns out that vanilla is a rich source of niacin, thiamine, B6 and pantothenic acid, all of which are lovely for skin. What I’ve been craving, complexion wise, is that extra clean and smooth feel that makes everything you apply thereafter feel like the most divine liquid silk that your skin drinks up and looks utterly radiant. I’m more inclined to use an enzymatic exfoliator (I’ve got a good one to tell you about coming up) in the form of a lotion but sometimes you just want the big guns, right?

Yes, CHANEL Sublimage Purifying & Radiance Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub is eye wateringly expensive, but let me tell you, it does the job. It scratches that itch (rather than your face). You can ‘scrub’ to your heart’s content because there’s no sharpness to the grains suspended in a rather skin cooling gel but I’d suggest you do a double rinse because I still found a few grains lurking after I’d removed the mask.

Sure enough, the products I used afterwards (coming up in another post) were slurped up by my skin. I usually suggest using any face mask in the morning but in this particular instance I’m going to suggest it for night time. My reasoning is that while it’s brilliant for all skin types, it’s ‘purifying’, meaning that it obliterates oil (perfect if you are oily skinned) so you need some richness to add in afterwards, and what better than a night cream. If you are generally quite oily, it’s fine to use in the morning and follow with your usual moisturiser.

CHANEL Sublimage Purifying & Radiance Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub is £125 (ouch, I know) HERE.

Scarlett C-Power Face Mist & Serum

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


Di musim panas yang teriknya nggak nanggung ini, minum air dan cuci muka aja nggak cukup buat nyegerin wajah kita yang seharian beraktivitas di dalam ataupun di luar ruangan. Nggak jarang juga kulit kita, apalagi kalau punya kulit wajah sensitif, terasa kering dan gatal-gatal karena kepanasan.

Nah, aku punya rekomendasi buat kamu yang nggak mau wajahnya kekeringan dan kurang nutrisi! Nggak cuma itu, produk ini juga praktis dan nggak bikin rempong bawanya!

Say hello to C-Power Series dari Scarlett!

Seri produk ini terdiri dari dua produk, yaitu C-Power Face Mist, dan C-Power Serum. Keduanya memiliki karakteristik vitamin-infused-skincare untuk suplemen kulit cerah. Kandungan dari kombinasi plant-based extract-nya juga dijamin ampuh untuk mencerahkan, melembapkan, dan mengusir kulit kusam.

Salah satu kandungan zat yang ada pada kedua produk C-Power adalah THD Ascorbate. Ini merupakan sejenis vitamin C yang bisa menembus lapisan kulit paling dalam sehingga 50x lebih powerful dari vitamin C biasa untuk mencerahkan kulit. Tapi kok kenapa vitamin C? Selain sangat bermanfaat untuk tubuh kita, vitamin C memiliki kemampuan untuk:

  • Mencerahkan bercak yang lebih gelap dari kulit (hiperpigmentasi),
  • Menyamarkan garis-garis halus dan kerutan,
  • Meningkatkan produksi kolagen yang bisa mencegah kulit kendur
  • Menyamarkan bekas luka
  • Menjaga kelembapan kulit.

Face Mist

Saat pertama kali aku coba Face Mist ini, sumpah deh. Aku kaget karena tetesan air dari Spritzer Spray-nya kecil dan halus banget, beneran kayak mist gitu dan penyebarannya juga luas. Jadi beberapa kali semprot aja udah cukup buat nge-cover seluruh wajahku. Kombinasi dari Mugwort Water dan Black Ginseng Water, lalu aroma fruity campur floral dari Orange Oil dan Lemon Extract-nya -nya bikin wajahku langsung seger dalam hitungan detik.

Aromanya ini juara banget! Bener-bener mirip aroma perasan jeruk segar. Rasanya segar banget, seperti minum, padahal enggak!

Face mist ini warnanya oranye banget di dalam botolnya, dan kelihatannya ada partikel warna oranye juga di dalamnya. Partikel itu harus digabungkan dengan face mist dengan cara dikocok! Setelah dikocok, baru deh semprot ke muka. Nggak ada residu warna kok ketika sudah disemprot. Wajah langsung lembab~

Selain untuk menyegarkan dan menjaga kelembapan kulit wajah kamu dari gersangnya cuaca akhir-akhir ini, C-Power Face Mist bisa membantu mencerahkan kulit kamu, melindungi kulit dari efek buruk paparan sinar matahari, dan menyamarkan tampilan kerutan dan garis halus di wajah lho. Tapi jangan lupa, harus tetep pakai sunscreen ya!

Kalau kamu ingin bisa merasakan segarnya kapanpun, gak perlu khawatir. C-Power Face Mist ini bisa digunakan kapanpun! Botol dan spray-nya yang praktis juga bikin enteng dibawa-bawa dan gak rempong untuk traveling atau jalan-jalan biasa. Pokoknya recommended banget!

Serum

Untuk C-Power Serum ini, yang pertama kali kurasain di hidung adalah aroma cengkeh yang lumayan strong. Tapi ternyata itu adalah aroma dari bunga chamomille dan cammelia yang bisa membantu mengurangi inflamasi di kulit kamu. Ada hint aroma vitamin c yang khas juga. Buatku pecinta aroma herbal dan segar, wanginya jadi menenangkan!

Warnanya agak transparan, tapi ada hint putih kekuningan. Memang nggak ada warna tambahan artificial ya di produk ini, jadi aman di kulit!

Dari segi tekstur, aku rasa serum ini teksturnya ringan banget sih. Buat yang kulitnya sensitif kayak aku, nggak usah khawatir dengan efek samping produknya. Nggak ada rasa panas, gatal, atau kemerahan. Malah, aku rasa serum ini bantu bikin kulit wajah aku nadi lebih tenang dan dingin. Ini berkat efek chamomile dan cammelia-nya kali yaa.

Selain ringan, serum ini terasa ‘licin’, glides smoothly gitu di kulit. Cocok buat pijat wajah secara ringan, dan sebentar aja. Pakainya dikit aja, karena sedikit pun bisa meng-cover seluruh wajah! Karena serumnya cukup cepat menyerap! Kulit langsung terasa plump setelah serumnya meresap.

Cara Penggunaan:

Gunakan kedua produk secara berurutan agar efeknya nggak nanggung!

C-Power Face Mist

Selalu kocok botol sebelum digunakan, posisikan Face Mist 15-20 cm dari wajah dengan mata dan mulut tertutup, lalu diamkan selama beberapa saat agar Face Mist meresap. C-Power Face Mist ini bisa digunakan kapanpun, kok!

C-Power Serum

Teteskan 2-3 tetes serum, oleskan dan pijat secara merata pada kulit wajah, diamkan beberapa saat agar serum meresap ke kulit wajah. Meski penggunaan serum nggak se-sering Face Mist-nya, tapi selalu gunakan Face Mist sebelum kamu memakai C-Power Serum, ya.

Before – After

Setelah rutin menggunakan kedua produk ini,aku rasa warna hitam di kantung mataku mulai memudar, dan hiperpigmentasi sekitar pipiku juga mulai hilang dalam waktu sekitar 2-3 mingguan. Garis-garis kerutan di sekitar wajah juga seperti dihapus pakai penghapus gitu. Hilang meski ada bekasnya sedikit. Kulitku juga jadi terasa lebih lembab dan kencang. Kalau ditanya rasanya segar atau nggak, jelas segar. Apalagi karena C-Power Face Mist-nya bisa dipakai kapanpun dan dimanapun.

—– DISCLAIMER: hasil penggunaan mungkin bisa berbeda-beda pada setiap orang. —–

Menurutku sih, face mist dan serum Vitamin C dari Scarlett ini adalah kombinasi terbaik buat menghadapi musim panas. Wajib coba, deh!

Fall Skincare Routine to Help You GLOW Right Into the New Year — Face Flawless Skin- Skincare Advice for Women of Color

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence



Skin Hydro is packed full of vitamins, minerals, and contains organic Irish moss extract, hyaluronic acid, and sea marine botanicals. Not only do I use it to soothe and hydrate my skin after cleansing, but I also do a spritz before and after my makeup application.  (Use code FACEFLAWLESSSKIN to get free shipping on your order.)

Serums are the heavy hitters in my skincare routine, and fall is the perfect time to add those actives. This means I have one active serum for the day, usually Vitamin C, and one for the night, retinol. So, when winter hits and I have to switch to nourishing hydration and protection over everything, I’m heading in with skin that’s probably looking the best it’s looked all year. If you are fighting wrinkles, age spots, dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles, sallowness, or any other skin issue, find a serum that addresses that issue and build your routine around it. Here are some options to consider.
