Squeaky Clean

By: Diemmy 




A skin care routine is vital in order to keep the face SQUEAKY CLEAN! I have oily combination skin and tend to break out during moments of the month and so, it is very important to ensure my healthy skin is sustained. Additionally, I use make up on a regular basis it is also essential that my skin is cleared before my 'beauty sleep'. So here you have it, the products that I use on a regular basis to maintain my skin:

♥ NATURE REPUBLIC – Aloe Vera Cleansing Gel Cream
This is my day and night cleansing product that I have been using on a daily basis. The Aloe Gel Cream feels very soothing on the face and with the smell of Aloe Vera – you can’t go wrong! My face has been noticeably clearer and smooth with the use of this product and I would definitely repurchase it when I return back to Korea!

♥ ST IVES – Apricot Scrub
I don’t use Apricot Scrub on a daily basis but I tend to use it around 2-3 times a week during showers when I feel as if my face needs deep exfoliating. The product has obvious textured beads and that’s the agent that cleans deep down. The product smells nice, it fights and prevents blemishes, and does its job well! It is definitely worth trying if are looking for a new exfoliating product.

♥ ETUDE HOUSE – Wonder Pore Toner
Toner is needed to further purify your pores after cleansing so it is also an emphasised essential and I have to say… I have been loving Etude House’s Wonder Pore Toner. I feel as if my skin has been less oily the morning after when using this product. The fragrance of the toner is very easy and adaptable as well since it is not too strong. Also, a bonus about the packaging is that it has a pump and so you don’t have to tilt the bottle between uses.

♥ CETAPHIL – Moisturising Lotion
Moisturising is a MUST in every skin care routine. It ensures that the skin is replenished and it takes care of those dry patches. The Cetaphil lotion has been a returning product for me since it is suitable for all types of skin and fragrance free. Another plus about this product is that it is very lightweight so it’s perfect for days where you want to wear make up.

♥ BENZAC AC – Water Based Acne Gel
I have a few blemish spots here and there that comes and go – and to fight them, I use Benzac. This acne gel really does get rid of pimples overnight in a noticeable manner. They don’t necessary disappear in one application but the size of spots definitely reduces dramatically. However, if you do plan on trying this product, make sure to read the instructions or seek prescription advice.
. . . . . . . .

What are some of the products you use for your skin care routine? I have been sticking to these products for as long as I remember – so let me know, I would love to check them out!

Much love and until next time,

Products I'm Trying Out

By: Michelle

These past two weeks, I have been testing out some new products. I find trying new products can be a lot of fun, especially if there was a lot of positive reviews on them. So, I thought I should share with you these products and my thoughts of them so far.

♥ Clio's Ultra High Sunblock:
I stopped using sunscreen for quite some time, but after watching a video on youtube about sun rays, I realised I should add it back to my routine. Clio's Ultra High Sunblock provides high protection from the sun, containing SPF 50+ PA+++. The packaging is very simple and lightweight. This allows me to carry it in my bag. It also has a very nice smell, but it can get overwhelming at times. Nevertheless, I have been loving this product.

♥ Innisfree's Apple Juicy Deep Cleansing Foam:
I was really excited about opening this product because it smells amazing. And thankfully it didn't disappoint. This cleanser has replaced my everyday morning cleanser. I am loving it! It makes my skin feel soft and ready to go each morning.

♥ Skinfood's Egg White Pore Mask:
This is a a mask which helps eliminates the pores. I'm not too sure if it has immensely helped my pores, but it does makes my skin feel really nice.

♥ Etude House's Goodbye Pore Ever:
After going through my make-up collection, I found this product. Don't you just love finding forgotten products? This is a primer which aims to fill in the pores. I have quite a few pores on my nose so it's a good product for me.

♥ Etude House's I'm Blooming Sebum Control Mist:
I own quite a few unopened face mists, and I thought it was time to open one more bottle. A face mist or make-up fixer is a must for keeping make-up looking fresh and long-lasting. This specific mist fights off sebum, which is the element that creates the oil on our skin.

♥ Nivea's Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes (Normal & Combination Skin):
This was on sale for half price and it was great timing because I needed new cleansing wipes. This is the first time I've used wipes from Nivea. I only use the wipes when I don't have any eye make-up on.

♥ Original Source's Lime Shower Gel:
All I have to say about this is that it smells, hands down, amazing.

. . . . . . . .

That's all of the products I've recently opened. I must say I am enjoying all of them. If you want me to do a full review on any of these products, let me know.

Much love,
Michelle.
