Must be the world's finest hair dryer π¨
Thin, fine glass hair that easily gets greasy and takes time to dry - yep, that's me - in a nutshell! I usually only use a small travel hair dryer since larger, powerful ones just make my hair feel more straw-like, I think (blows around completely uncontrollably) and the heavy ones just end up sitting in a drawer. Not a fan of 18 meters of heavy cord either π although this one is also long but light and connects with a good velcro. I actually haven't tried that many over the years since I've often been disappointed and gone back to the little one I have. That's why I was so happy when I opened this box - both small and quiet plus just the right amount of powerful/warm (I mainly use the middle setting - there are 3 and a button that makes it really cool for the finish). The outer part doesn't get warm at all - not even up front, which is great (though the nozzles do get warm). Light and nice to hold plus simple buttons to use with the thumb ππ» Tried the nozzles but like it best without, but that's probably a habit since I don't really know how to hold it in the best way. I get how I would do it if I stood like a hairdresser behind myself, but my own arms don't want to do what I think they should do π Diffuser - my hair refuses to be curly and since it's so thin, it mostly ends up looking straw-like and separated, so I don't feel comfortable with it down at all, but I will try it again at some point, so maybe it can add some volume when I put it up. I've also read that those with thick hair are satisfied with it ππ», so OBH has really succeeded with this little powerhouse! If I could wish for something more, it would be a button/setting for speed and a separate one for heat, but still - Very satisfied ππ» I really recommend it π€© Thank you for letting me try #testbylyko #obhnordica #bjΓΆrnaxΓ©nTranslated from swedish

Moisture and plump in abundance π§
A very viral mask - that must be tried! I tested it on a quiet evening and let it work for about 2.5 hours, which was perfect for me as I have an oily T-zone with sensitive, dry cheeks that flare up against rosacea. I felt a slight tingling sensation on my chin towards the "end" (yes, it is also sensitive sometimes) β which is my warning signal, as I previously almost got perioral dermatitis from another (more active) mask. So β‘οΈ trust your skin, and donβt start by sleeping with it, is my most important tip! This mask gives a lot of moisture - like after a facial treatment π β’ Ultralow molecular collagen β skin plump deluxe! β’ Galactomyces & probiotics β soothes and strengthens the barrier. β’ Niacinamide β for glow and evening out. The mask feels cool and supple against the skin and dries slowly to a transparent film. However, it leaves a little trace in the form of lines, which probably has to do with age, 47 years π, but they gradually disappeared (nothing that fits me just before the student celebration that Iβm soon going to π). Great that it is without perfume and denatured alcohol, but also that it is not too active - so even sensitive ones can dare to try! A really nice treatment mask that feels like an investment in the skin β perfect as part of a lovely SPA Sunday π§ #biodance #sheetmask #kbeauty #testbylykoTranslated from swedish

Multifunctional favorite β€οΈ
Those of you who have seen my posts before (feel free to follow me!) know that I am completely sold on Spanish Niche Beauty Lab π§ͺ β and this is the reason, "boven", the reasonβ¦ THE REASON! This product is worth its weight in gold for my dry, sensitive cheeks that easily flare up with rosacea β and that many times cannot handle active ingredients like acids without flaring up significantly afterward. But this one? WOW! I started cautiously (a few evenings a week on cleansed and dry skin) but now use it both morning and night β‘ it has NOT given me any irritation at all! It works against premature skin aging and really reduces both redness and those little red spots that can appear when the skin is out of balance - like after a full day at a soccer tournament in a cap instead of a sun hat that one should have worn ππ The consistency is very light, and if you need more moisture, itβs fine to layer a clean moisture serum over it. I use it directly after toner/essence β with cream and/or UV protection over. Tip for extra sensitive skin: mix it with the cream at the beginning! Azid is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and combines active ingredients - 15% azelaic acid with soothing colloidal oatmeal and barrier-strengthening ceramides β a really nice balance that makes it both gentle and effective π₯ It really feels like a treatment for the skin β even for everyday use! A personal favorite right now π Thank you for letting me try it! #theramid #nichebeautylab #testbylykoTranslated from swedish

Did you know that Lyko has more than beauty!? π
So this Friday, I want to take the opportunity to recommend some delicious sugar-free snacks that actually taste like something β yes, they exist! π¬ Gotta in many different flavors (I like all the ones I've tried, and MY SON DOES TOO π¦πΌ cross my heart - Fizzy Bottles are our fave β links!) πΉ Wonderful iced tea with peach flavor π (also available in fresh lemon). Reminds me of trips to Spain where iced tea was always a given under the parasol ποΈ Perfect when I'm sitting at the computer, want something tasty, and want to switch it up from the dark mint chocolate and coffee. You should try it too! Have a great Friday and weekend, all Lykosar πTranslated from swedish

Feels so nice to have colored the roots β yes, the hair has long shown its own initiative in color choice, but I'm not quite on the train yet π However, I'm not stressed about it anymore and feel completely okay showing it too. It just feels so much better when it's colored! I found a brand without perfume or harsh scent β which I can no longer tolerate π I usually mix two colors: 4 and 5.12 (15g of each β yes, I have a scale, as meticulous as I am βΊοΈ). The tubes are 60g and come with two pipette bottles with hydrogen. Each tube is enough for two colorings, which is great! Easy to apply, and easy to rinse out. I let the roots sit for 25 minutes and then add the rest of the hair for 10 minutes. I almost always wash with Swedish HjΓ€rtligt HS, perfume- and scent-free line π I also add a few more tips here for those who are interested (I will also test more of Neccins perfume-free β their dry shampoo is crazy good, on par with my favorite from Idun, which is a must for me since I have such an oily scalp). The color washes out a bit gradually on me, so there isn't a sharp line β which is nice. I can't say it covers completely, but it makes the hair feel more alive! My favorite color for many years back β and maybe because it's Mother's Day β I actually got a mumbling comment from Charlie π¦πΌ: "It's brown..." It may sound strange, but he always thinks it's black! π So I asked: "Is it better with black like this?" (and pointed at my pants). He replied: "No, you look nice just the way you are, mom!" π₯° Happy Mother's Day β a little like this on the evening porch π«Άπ»Translated from swedish

Join me in my evening routine β perfect for you who want to boost your skin and actively work on texture, skin tone, radiance, and firmness. I continue on the theme of Niche Beauty Lab β the Spanish brand that truly impresses! In the video, youβll see my evening routine (always at least 2 hours before bedtime so that not everything ends up on the pillow): β’ Double cleansing β first oil, then milk for gentle yet effective cleansing π§Ό β’ Lyko moisture toner β rehydration, an important piece not to underestimate π§ β’ Ceramide Treatment 3% β barrier-strengthening moisture boost with a high concentration of ceramides π‘οΈ β’ Eye Repair Complex β light but active eye treatment with retinol, niacinamide, and caffeine for a more even and brighter eye area π β’ Clinical Vitamin A* β active retinoid for experienced users that evens out skin texture π β’ A-Retinoate Anti-Aging Treatment* β advanced anti-aging with double retinoid effect β³ (*I only use one at a time, or just Azid even in the evening) β’ Bakuchiol Firming Cream β my favorite! Firming and soothing with 1% bakuchiol + peptides πΏ Results? Skin that feels stronger, more even, and more hydrated β ready for beauty sleep! π‘ Remember: retinoids should be introduced slowly - and if you experience dryness/irritation, back off and focus on hydration and nourishment before increasing again. Do you want to try it too? Feel free to take our skin test that you can find in the app under Beauty Scan - so you get a tailored recommendation for your skin!

Not everyone may know about this Spanish company yet, but I want to change that! With their affordable and effective products, they have improved both the feel and texture of my skin. The first products I was introduced to β quite a while ago, including through a customer (though they are also big on social media) β were some of their boosters: β’ Azid β€οΈ contains one of my favorite acids, azelaic acid, which is great for redness, uneven skin tone, blemishes, and even lines. β’ Clinical Vitamin A π combines different retinoids that work effectively on skin structure and tone. As a complement to these, the gel cream Niacinamide Glow Cream π€ fits perfectly β yes, it actually reminds me of the skincare guru Niactil from Elixir! These are still some of the most popular products, and now I know why! The three brands (all fragrance-free): π¬ Transparent Lab β focuses on skincare with high-active ingredients and transparent formulations. βοΈ Theramid β an advanced brand with higher concentrations of active substances, almost like a salon treatment. π©Ή Acnemy β targets acne-prone skin with effective products, even for sensitive skin. In the video, you can see my morning routine π€© Give them a chance too!

For a smooth surface π€
Perfect for anyone wanting super good coverage - everything from redness to blemishes. Mattifying but not as matte as I first thought, as it also works really well on my dry cheeks (I have an oily T-zone) - so I would rather say it has a matte glow or satin finish simply! It doesn't give any dull uniform "mask-feel" but the skin just feels smoother and nicer - like a magic wand π« Great and simple tube with a thin tip. Creamy and easy to distribute evenly. I started with a brush and have also tried a damp sponge, but best for me is simply my hands βπ» I take a large pea-sized amount and work it in between my hands, and then I swipe/tap it onto my face. The amount determines how covering it gets. Stays well throughout the day, but I do have glasses that always mess things up a bit - but nothing a little powder can't fix! For reference, I just make it with a 9.5. I will also include my swatches that I have already shown you, so all info is gathered here. I obviously miss several shades so that everyone who wants can experience it. Full marks for this fragrance-free, full-coverage foundation - that doesn't clog and is suitable for sensitive skin! Big WOW β¨ And a big thank you #LaRochePosay #testbylykoTranslated from swedish
1 product in post For a smooth surface π€8536 views- Skin therapist at Lyko3 monthsHey Hanna! Thank you, sweet π But maybe try the darker 14 so you can always mix with the 11 - that way nothing goes to waste. Unfortunately, they donβt have many shades to choose from, so finding the perfect tone is hard. I would have preferred a shade lighter than 9.5 for my own part π Otherwise, you can return it if you think you got the wrong one, but everyone looks a bit darker on my white arm. Hope you find the right one π

Swatches β¨
For all of you who have also wondered how the different shades differ in LRP's Toleriane foundation, I now have them all to compare. Creamy and matte foundation that is easy to apply both with a brush and with your hands. Holds up well throughout the day - I have typical combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry, sensitive cheeks. For reference, I just get by with 9.5 π€ I would have wished for a wider color range, as you can see, but thank you so much π #LaRochePosayTranslated from swedish
