Co-founder of the "Landfill" Irina Barinskaya about time for yourself and your favorite cosmetics
For category "Cosmetic" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of interesting characters to us - and we show all this to you.
About care
I use professional and pharmacy cosmetics (Dr. Grandel and La Roche-Posay), I wash with foam, I use Korean facial tonic, and in the morning and in the evening - a moisturizer for combination skin and care for the area around the eyes. I brought rituals to such automatism that even if I come late at night from a party, I can go to sleep in clothes, but I will wash myself. Every six months I do biorevitalization with a cosmetologist, once every couple months I clean. I really like a variety of masks and patches, buy them in batches in the "Girlfriend" and use it once or twice a week. Always with a matting napkins for the face, especially in summer. Foundation with a small SPF: my cosmetologist suggested to me that sun protection should always and everywhere.
I love scrubs and body oils. Two or three times a week I do my home care: I use a scrub and apply oil, and when I am in a mood, instead of oil I use body lotion with zolotnykami to shine in the sun, like Edward Cullen. In the summer I use droplets of Clarins with the effect of tanning for the feet. She used to make oil herself: she bought basic coconut or almond, diluted with various essential oils. Now there is no time for this, but parents help out: they often rest in Italy and always bring a few bottles as a gift. I try to pamper myself with oil massage at least once a month, sometimes I go to the spa.
About lifestyle
A month ago, I quit smoking cigarettes and am incredibly happy about this. A couple of months ago I took the habit of doing stretching and exercises in the morning. Once or twice a week I go to the gym for strength training, every day I do stretching with elements of yoga and light exercises at home. I love to walk and ride a bike - I take it as caring for myself and maintaining body tone. I am a fan of manicure and pedicure, for me well-groomed nails are Mastkhev, although sometimes I easily chase with peeling varnish for a week and do not steam up.
Taking care of yourself is also about the head. I meditate, go to tea practices, where the master helps to "slow down", identify important questions for themselves and find answers. For me, this is very important, because I have my own business, and it is always a fire and a lot of communications, and in order not to burn out and not go crazy - and this has happened - you need to slow down. One day a week I completely dedicate myself to debriefing in my head: I put my house in order - also a kind of meditation - I do complex body and hair care, and then I listen to myself - what I want. It can be a long walk, or a chilling on a balcony with a hookah, where I equipped a special relaxation area. On this day, I do not answer calls and messages, send my husband to hang out, and I fully focus on my desires, feelings and mood. Also on this day I’m doing a digital detox for myself: I don’t go online and surf the Internet - just reading, my favorite movies and TV shows or music.
About fragrances
Another passion of mine is perfume. I love to smell good, I have a whole collection of perfumery, and every story has a story connected with it. For example, one of my favorites, Reykjavik - in the original is a masculine scent, which is sold only in Iceland and on Icelandic airlines. I am in love with this country, and every time we went there, I brought this scent, and now I ask all friends who are in Iceland to take a bottle with me for me.
About relationships with looks
Harmony in relations with my appearance came recently. After I lost twenty kilograms due to stress, and then began to gain weight uncontrollably, inadequate self-perception appeared. All the time it seemed that "I have a side" and this is all, although I ran half marathons and did not get out of the gym.
Now I am in perfect order: I took on my body and consider myself a beauty in any form, despite the fact that every second tells me that I am too thin and need to eat more. I don’t pay attention to it, because I know everything about myself: I love to eat, I don’t deny myself anything, I do not swallow up the cake in the night during PMS, I play sports not for wear, but I’m happy to stop experimenting with image and appearance. Only this summer my hair color changed five times, I shaved the back of my head, cut off the square, changed my image eight times and was preparing for the first time in my life to make an ultrashort haircut. My husband played a big role in this story, which supports all my experiments.
