  • Reason number 74265495641280573091 why I love Italy: Fresh pasta from the farmer’s market ❣️🍝🍝🥰⁣ ⁣ What is fresh pasta, you ask? It’s pasta made from a simple dough of eggs and flour that’s kneaded like bread and then pressed through rollers. It has a more delicate texture than dry pasta and takes about half the time to cook. It also has a much shorter shelf life. ⁣ ⁣ Dry pasta, which is the kind we get from department stores, is made from a paste of semolina and water thats’s mixed into a paste. The paste is then pushed through moulds before being cut into the desired shape. Finally, it’s dried for many days till also the moisture has evaporated, which allows it to be stored almost indefinitely.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever had fresh pasta?⁣ ⁣ #positano #positanocoast #positanoitaly #italiansummer #italiandays #pasta #colorfulpasta #freshpasta #homemadepasta #pastaporn #pastalovers #pastagram #handmadepasta #italianpasta #italianfoodlover #ilovepasta #italiancooking #italianfoodstyle #pastamania #pastalove #italianfoodporn #pastapasta #authenticitalian #bestitalianfood #pastaislife #pastaaddict #lovepasta #bestpasta #dishoftheday #farmersmarketfinds

  • It's taken a while to get my head around the new Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset Concentrate.⁣ ⁣ First, there's the claim that it soothes skin in just one hour.⁣ ⁣ This, combined with the hashtag #PressReset, sort of makes you think that it will give you a miraculously glowing complexion in one hour.⁣ ⁣ Sorry but NO. There is no product that can actually heal damaged skin in just one hour. That would be like expecting a six-pack to emerge after doing 10 crunches on one isolated day.⁣ ⁣ What this new serum actually does is soothe irritated skin and bring down inflammation with calming ingredients like lavender oil, barley extract and oat kernel extract.⁣ ⁣ It also plumps up dehydrated skin with 15 times more hyaluronic acid than the original Advanced Night Repair, which makes it perfect for when skin is feeling particularly parched.⁣ ⁣ Then there are antioxidants like resveratrol and skin-strengthening ingredients like whey protein, to ward off free radical damage and restore the skin's natural barrier. This is important for healing and strengthening skin in the long term.⁣ ⁣ Does it work?⁣ ⁣ I first brought out this serum after trialling an acid-based exfoliator (the ways I torture my poor skin for work!) that left my complexion red, raw and scratchy. Basically irritated AF.⁣ ⁣ Next morning, the redness was down by almost 50% and my skin felt less itchy. One week of consistent use later, the redness was almost gone. And now, after 3 weeks, my skin is back to normal.⁣ ⁣ So, I reiterate, nothing can heal truly damaged skin overnight.⁣ ⁣ That said, hyaluronic acid can go to work almost immediately, plumping up your skin. Similarly, these calming ingredients work at bringing down inflammation in a couple of nights.⁣ ⁣ For me, what is always more important is resetting the skin's natural barrier and strengthening it from the inside-out. And while this took almost 3 weeks, the bounce-back was impressive. This one definitely goes on my nightstand for the next time my skin decides to pay me back after I subject it to a bad product. Because, knowing me, it will happen. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ What's the worst skincare disaster you have ever faced?

  • Nowadays, love at first sight comes rarely for me – especially with a skincare product. But I am OBSESSED with Fresh’s Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice Antioxidant Serum.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ It starts with the application, which is like pouring a shot of freshly pressed orange juice into your hand and pressing it into your skin. It feels and smells delicious, and is the perfect wake-me-up in the morning. Seriously, it’s EXACTLY like orange juice (swipe to see the texture), complete with the pulpiness that only fresh juice can have. The secret behind this lies in innovative extraction techniques, which have been inspired by cold pressed juices 🍊🍊🍊🍊⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Then there are the microbubbles – 480,000 in one 15ml bottle. Each one packed with coconut oil (nourishing), vitamins C and E (antioxidant and nourishing), and beta-carotene (ward off damaging free radicals). Packing these nutrients into microbubbles, which release the active ingredients upon application, helps keep them fresh and potent.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The microbubbles are further suspended in a watery base of fruit extracts and minerals, including lemon and orange extracts (to revitalise dull skin), jicama root juice (hydrate and revitalize), chicory root juice (moisturise and protect) and ginger water (hydrate). Taken together, this sounds like a really gross smoothie but makes for the perfect shot of nutrition for tired skin. 🍋🍋🍋🍋⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In the short term, it wakes up my skin after a rough night and gives it an instant glow. It also absorbs quickly and even though it’s a serum, I don’t need a moisturiser on top.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ With consistent use, my skin has started looking smooth, glow-y, energised, healthy… like it’s been a regular at the gym, followed by shots at the juice bar. Rather than being stuck in front of a computer screen, with endless shots of espresso.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Now, if someone could just do something like this for the rest of my body? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #NutritionForYourSkin ⁣⁣@freshbeauty
