NACOMI TO THE TEST: NACOMI COSMETICS REVIEW.

Wednesday, April 3, 2024

The Swedish skincare brand, has definitely come to democratize (even more) the european skincare industry, through its formulas and ingredients. After having tested for months some of their products, I can confirm that they absolutely worth the hype. Cute and simple packaging, from basic skincare ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, Nacomi creates products focused on offering effectives formulas, with attractives textures, that makes the skincare routine more pleasant.


CLAY FACE MASKS.

Comes in powder, which means that they need to be activated by water, face oil, or the  face mask activator by the same brand. I personally prefer to use water or face toner, to observe how they really work, and the level of effectiveness.


  • Black clay mask.

It detoxify the skin, absorbing all the skin impurities, leaving a feeling of freshness.



  • Green clay mask.

Indicated to treat skin with imperfections, it purifies, balance, calms, and illuminates the skin.

  • Algae mask.

Indicated for skins with acne, is a peel-off mask formulated with marine algae and tea tree oil, ended being too aggressive for my skin type (sensitive combination to oily), making my entire skin itch and burn.


FACE SERUMS.

Basic key ingredients, effective formula, with a delightful texture that easily absorbs into the skin. However, the salicylic acid, and the vitamin C face serum, felt incomplete to me, being my favorites ones the hyaluronic acid face serum, and the vitamin E face serum.

  • Vitamin E face serum.

My first time using a face oil serum, and the first thing I learned was to moderate the amount of product to avoid waste. Easily absorbed by the skin, after a week of use, improves skin texture and appearance, having a better performance in combination with the hyaluronic acid face serum.


  • Hyaluronic acid face serum.

It has become one of my favorites low-cost hyaluronic acid face serum, for the texture and effectiveness. It deeply moisturize and softens the skin, leaving a dewy and healthy skin use by use, especially in combination with the vitamin E face serum.

  • Ceramides face serum.

Honestly, I was expecting more from a ceramides face serum, a light, but more enveloping and emollient formula, instead of a slightly moisturizing one.

  • Salicylic acid face serum.

Difficult to use, difficult to understand, and difficult to love, the 3 D’s. Even if it is a non-irritating formula, its color (black) and texture difficult its use, even if it slightly contribute to balance the skin, I personally found it uncomfortable to use, since it leaves black streaks on the skin.

Nowadays, if I have to recommend any low-cost effective salicylic acid face serum, is the one by The Conscious. 

  • Vitamin C face serum.

Nice texture, with a non-effective formula. Being formulated in the beginning with a 15% of vitamin C, broken down in 10% ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate 3%, ascorbyl glucoside 2%, it supposed to be a non-irritating, and effective formula, that helps to even the skin tone, by clearing dark spots. But, after a few weeks of use, it ended up being just a conditioning and moisturizer serum.

A better low-cost option, is the JUST 20% Vitamin C face serum by Revox, formulated with ascorbic acid, and green tea, that even the skin tone, by reducing skin imperfections, targeting inflammation, and improving the skin texture.

 

FACE MOISTURIZERS.

Perfect formula, good ingredients, and nice texture, definitely moisturizers are the strongest point of Nacomi. No favorites in this category, since both are incredibly good.


  • Protein Patch face cream for atopic skin.

Very light, and emollient formula, it calms, moisturize, and softens the skin.

  • Shea butter face moisturizer +50.

I used it as the last step in my night skincare routine. Still lightweight, but with a more rich formula, being one of its main ingredients shea butter, skincare ingredient known for its highly restorative properties

HOW A SHEET MASK A DAY IS CHANGING MY SKIN!

Thursday, December 3, 2020

The truth is that for personal reasons I stopped to take care of my skin for a few months, so I broke up so badly: dark spots, uneven skin tone, dry patches, skin flakes, white heads, and black heads… it was really terrible! Looking at the mirror was pretty unpleasant to me, so I decided to make a change, and promise to myself to never do that again to myself. I just have one life, one body, and one skin.

Taking inspiration from YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram, I started a new skincare routine with new products, and I included in my routine a sheet mask a day, and actually I´m very happy with the results!



In one week, I started to notice that my skin was more smooth, and then? The dry patches and flakes started to dissapear, my skin started to feel more plum and luminous, and progressively my face is clearing out!

AS REFERENCE: I have combination to oily skin, and I use sheet mask with plant extracts and acid hyaluronic.

PS: you don´t need the most expensive face mask on the market, you need the one who work for your skin type, and to know that you need to look the ingredient list, and now your skin necessities. In my case my favorites sheet mask are actually from China and South of Korea.
