Mama Mio

Mama Mio is skin care for supermamas. Mama Mio was founded by three friends in London who have worked in the beauty industry. They created the products with the help of chemists, aromatherapists and skin care experts. The skin care range is about improving and maintaining the tone, texture, and elasticity of the skin during and after pregnancy. The products can also be used by non-mamas. Mama Mio has pampering skin care gifts, beauty gifts, pregnancy gifts, mom & baby gifts and mother’s day and baby shower gifts.

Skin Care Routine

On Friday I was in Holt Renfrew at the YSL cosmetics counter. Within a span of 5 minutes I was told that I had great skin – twice by the salespeople and once by a customer. I thought that they were crazy. I always find something wrong with my skin. I look in the mirror and see large pores, dark circles under my eyes and pimples. My skin care routine has changed over the years, but I always go back to H2O plus. When I was a teenager I used Noxema to clean my face. I later tried Clinique, but was unhappy with the products. I found that the toner’s dried out my skin and the moisturizer was too heavy. I have also tried Aveda, Kiehl’s, Neutrogena, Lancome, Biotherm and Shiseido. I have had a hard time finding products for combination skin. The following is my skin care routine twice a day:

Cleanser – Face Oasis Cleansing Water

Toner – Marine Toner

Moisturizer – Face Oasis Hydrating Gel

Exfoliator – Sea Mineral Scrub (twice a week)

Mask – Sea Mineral Mud Mask (once a week)

I have also tried the Olive Stones Natural Scrub from Korres which I use once a week.
