The brand Balea has a really solid range of affordable body and face care, and I’ve been slowly testing their face masks — both sheet and rinse-off versions.
Sometimes I get the urge to deeply cleanse my pores, especially on my nose. Usually, I rely on cleansing oils, but occasionally I buy pore strips. Unfortunately, the selection in stores is quite limited, so I picked up two budget options from Balea — the regular Hautrein Anti-Mitesser Nose Strips and the charcoal Aktivkohle Nose Strips.
Not too long ago, Balea released new shower gels with natural scents — lavender for the evening and citrus for the morning. I went for the lavender one, Be Relaxed and Calm Aroma Duschgel, and honestly, no regrets (though I might go back for the citrus too 😉).
