Skincare Routine

I saw Aida Bicaj for a facial in February and left with a beautiful glow! Since then I have been using all of the products, she recommended by Biologique Recherche. The products have a high concentration of botanical, marine and biological extracts. My skin feels smoother, brighter and less prone to break outs. Biologique Recherche products are an investment but I think that they are worth the price. These products are extremely potent, and they really make a difference in the overall appearance of your skin. Below are the products I am currently using and love! All products by Biologique Recherche and can be purchased through Aida Bicaj. I’m aware the BR products are pricey so I put together a non toxic beauty blog post and broke down some of my favorite non toxic beauty products from low to medium to high price.

When it comes to facials, I like the hydra facial, oxygen facial and laser genesis. I usually do the laser genesis in the winter when my skin hasn’t been exposed to the sun. I also recently tried Clear+Brilliant and loved it. There is a detailed review at the bottom of this blog post. As for frequency, I aim to get a facial every 6-8 weeks.

Morning Routine

Tula Purifying Cleanser – Tula is one of my favorite brands because their products are infused with probiotics, which are essential for healthy skin. This cleanser makes my skin feel clean without drying me out. Use code HEALTHYWITHNEDI for 15% off.

Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum – This vitamin C serum is packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients that brighten and firm the skin.

Tula SPF 30 – My absolute favorite sunscreen. Most non toxic sunscreens leave my face chalky and white looking – not the case with this amazing product. This SPF is natural and infused with probiotics which is a great bonus. Non-comedogenic formula won’t clog pores or leave a white cast. Use code HEALTHYWITHNEDI for 15% off.

Ilia Beauty Skin Tint Serum SPF 40 – I use the shade Kokino. I have been loving this clean brand! Their tinted moisturizing is perfect for everyday use and it feels amazing on my skin.

Evening Routine

Lait VIP O2 – This calming cleanser oxygenates skin while brightening the complexion. This product is perfect for those of you living in a city because the cleanser combats the effects of pollution. It will remove any make up and make your face feel super clean and moisturized.

P50 PIGM 400 – This is an exfoliating lotion that helps to reduce pigmentation marks, and prevents them from appearing. I love this product because it enhances epidermal renewal, which is essential for healthy, glowing skin. Aida taught me that it is important to apply on a cotton pad and use it in an upwards motion on the face, never downwards.

Masque Vivant –  This deep cleansing mask purifies the face while shrinking the pores. The smell of this mask is not very pleasant but after using it a few times I got used to it. I use this mask twice a week mixed with ½ TSP of baking soda, and my skin has never been clearer.

Extraits Tissulaires Serum – This serum is amazing for dry skin and is meant to prep your face for more intensive treatment. It is extremely moisturizing and very gentle on sensitive skin.

PIGM 400 Serum – This serum was created for sun damaged skin and makes existing sun damage less visible. I love the way that this product reduces the appearance of dark spots and evens the complexation.

Creme Biofixine – This is a brightening cream that is meant for dry skin. It is used at night to improve the skin’s elasticity and prevent the signs of aging. It feels like a luxurious butter for the face.

Crème Contour des Yeux Biosensible – It’s hard to find an eye cream that really works, and this product has really impressed me. It is anti-inflammatory and hydrating, which is perfect for the sensitive skin around the eyes.

Fluide VIP O2 – This is an incredible oxygenating elixir that I apply to the entire face, neck and décolleté as a finishing touch. Aida says this anti-pollution serum helps to increase the concentration of oxygen on the skin’s surface, diminishing red blemishes, hydrating the top layers and creating a brighter complexion.

Update Jan 20th, 2021

I had a facial with Aida one week ago and got the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment. I have been wanting to try this treatment for a long time and glad I finally did it. It was a little bit painful but not too uncomfortable. After the treatment, my skin was pink for two days but I wouldn’t say there is much of a down time. I went out to lunch the day I had the facial and my friends kept saying how my skin is glowing. Aida recommended that I use Masque Vernix from Biologique Recherche combined with Bio Vital Serum from Future Cosmetics Boutique. This mix hydrated my skin and gave it such a beautiful glow. After a laser treatment, its normal for the skin to feel dry so make sure to moisturize and don’t forget the neck and décolleté. It is recommended to have 6 sessions of Clear + Brilliant to achieve the maximum results. Below you can see what my skin looks like 5 days after the facial with Aida. I have no make up on, only a touch of concealer, the masque vernix and bio vital serum.
