The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam Review

Hey guys! Today I'm going to share a new post about my daily cleansing foam ^^ I'm using The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam. I got it last two months from local the face shop's store. I love it so much and i decided to share my opinion about this product <3

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam


Product Info :

Natural brightening solution with rice water. The face shop rice water bright water cleansing foam is a moisturizing, brightening and detoxifying cleansing foam made with rice water and moringa oil. It is creamy and cushiony texture eases handling and moisturizing ingredients leave skin feeling hydrated after cleansing by minimizing moisture loss.

Application :

Capacity : 150 ml

Skin type : All skin types

Cleansing power of the face shop rice water bright cleansing foam




- I put on black gel eyeliner, lipstick, cream blush, bb cream and two different eyeshadows to test its cleansing power.

- After i massage it for a few minutes, it can remove all the makeup. But i personally recommend you to use cleansing oil to remove your makeup first before you use this cleansing foam to avoid any breakouts problems.

- In a nutshell, I think its cleansing power is good to remove daily impurities.


Overall impressions :

Although this product claims it is suitable for whitening and brighten up the face, but not really. It does brighten my skin for temporary, about 5 to 10 minutes. If you are looking for whitening cleansing foam, i do not recommend you to buy this product. Anyway, after i use this cleansing foam, it makes my skin smooth, clean, fresh and moisture, it does not make my skin feel dry after i rinse it off with lukewarm water. Plus, i love its smell very much! Very nice ^^ Definitely i will repurchase it if i can't find another good product like it. You guys can probably try it out if you are searching for a cleansing foam!

Hate of Having Bloated / Puffy Face?

What Causes Bloated / Puffy Face:

       Poor diet.
A sign of Vitamin C and Beta-carotene deficiency. Excessive intake of fat, carbohydrates and salt.

       Dehydration.
The body tends to retain as much water as it can if it is dehydrated. The face is one of the areas where excess water is stored and this will causes bloated face.

       Alcohol intake.
Alcohol makes you dehydrated, meaning you get thirstier after you booze up. Your body responds to dehydration by storing as much water as possible in different areas, and your face is no exception.

       Hypothyroidism.
Lack of thyroid hormones in body.  Usually, this condition results in rapid weight gain, which is why the face becomes bloated. The other symptoms of hypothyroidism include constipation, tiredness, and dry skin.

       Face Fat.
Face fat is often a problem for people who aren’t even overweight.  They collect the fat normally in their cheek area or chin area.

How To Prevent Bloated / Puffy Face:

• Limit your alcohol & sodium intake. Both cause water retention & puffiness.

• Allergies can cause puffiness, so look for treatments for allergies.

• Drink plenty of water to clean out your system.

• Eye creams and moisturizers may also be the cause. Try to pin point if any of your beauty products are actually causing the irritation and stop using the product.

• Herbal preparations such as X-edema are good for prevention.

• A higher pillow - aids fluid drainage.


How To Treat Bloated / Puffy Face:

       Wash your face with ice cold water every morning.

       Place two slices of cool cucumber on the eyes for several minutes.

       Moisten two tea bags, chill in refrigerator, and place over eyelids for several minutes. Tea bags are also excellent for soothing tired & sore eyes and for curing eye infections like conjunctivitis & sty as well

       A simple remedy - recommended by many models - is to use hemorrhoid cream.

       You can also try a soothing eye cream with aloe and vitamin E (to calm the skin).

       Drink a glass of cold water (not iced water) when you woke up every morning.

       Do facial massage or facial exercise before go to bed and after woke up in the morning. Apply some moisturizer or nourishing cream before massaging your face.

Oily Skin Home Care Treatment

Hi guys! Here are some home care treatment for those who are having problem with oily skin especially during summer. It's pretty simple and really is effective. You can try it and see the changes :) So, here are the steps:

1.    Wash Your Face Properly

The most important step in skin care is washing your face properly. Even though you may want to skip your nightly face-washing routine and just roll into bed after a long day or think those few minutes will make you late for work at the start of the day, here’s your reminder to ALWAYS WASH YOUR FACE. Cleansing your face is one of the most important parts of taking care of your body, and more importantly, keeping your face healthy. Using a dermatologist-recommended cleanser is your best bet to long-lasting, healthy-looking skin.


2.      Apply Ice Pack to Tighten Up Pores

After washing your face, you need to apply ice pack on your face. This helps to tighten up your pores and it even decreases the oil production on the skin for sometime.

3.    Apply Carbonic Acid Pack / Mask

Apply a carbonic acid pack or mask for 1~2 times per week after washing your face. It helps in fighting dullness and spots as well as combatting sagging. Apply it for 10~15 minutes and wash it thoroughly. You will find out that your skin became smoother and softer. Below is an example for carbonic acid pack, SCINIC All Day Pore Clay Mask:

4.    Apply Toner

Then, apply facial toner with a clean cotton pad. I highly recommend you to use Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner. It made my face feel clean but not super fresh. It didn't make my face feel dry or tight and it does not irritate my skin. This is just my own opinion.
5.    Moisturize Your Face

The next step that is vital in skin care is moisturizing your face. You need to use the suitable moisturizer to moisturize your face instead of using nourishing cream. No matter whether your skin type is dry, oily or sensitive, you shouldn't skip the moisturizing step in your skin care routine. Leaving it out might quickly cause redness or flaking, and in time it can allow wrinkles and other aging signs to show up on your skin earlier than they otherwise might. Also, if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition, moisturizing regularly might help ease some of the irritation. One of the best moisturizer that I know is Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. It make my face feel fresh and moist and it doesn’t feel sticky at all.




Extra Tips to Control Sebum:
1.     Drink cabbage juice. Cabbage helps in minimizing oil. It can reduce the production of oil and sebum on our face.




2.     Eat nuts. Nuts helps to improve oil-moisture level in our body. By eating nuts, our face will be moisturized and not too oily.


That's all for oily skin home care treatment. You can try it at home. Hope it really helps you to solve oily skin problem. Thanks for stopping by ^^

How To Avoid Sunburn During Summer Days?

 

The Heat Is On!! 

Hey Guys! Today, I'm going to share you guys on skincare tips during summer time. I live in a country where the sun can shine all day, everyday! The sun can be cruel to your complexion. Do you know how to keep cool and save your skin to avoid sunburn? Read on for more...

  

Wear protection

  - It might be impractical to go around with long sleeves and pants all the time, but you can use an umbrella when walking under the sun, just like what i do everyday.It can protect you 50% from the sun. Also, you can wear a hat and put on sunglasses to avoid extra glare. 

  Seek shade

- The sun's UV rays are strongest between 10am and 4pm. So, be careful near water, snow and sand because all three can reflect the sun's rays and increase your change of getting sunburn.

  Apply sunscreen

- There are two types of rays: UVA and UVB. SPF indicates UVB protection while PA indicates UVA protection. Both factors are important to avoid sun damage.

- Sunscreen should be applied on all exposed skin. An SPF of at least 15 is the best! Apply it on your lips, ears, feet, hands, under accessories and neck. Remember to reapply your sunscreen every two hours when u are in outdoors, after swimming or sweating even your sunscreen are waterproof.

- Apply your sunscreen on 30 minutes before going outdoors. This allows the sunscreen have enough time to be absorbed into your skin and offer you an ultimate protection.

- When you used the right way, an SPF15 sunscreen protects you from 93% of UVB rays while SPF30 will protect you from 97% of UVB radiation. SPF30 sunscreen product is actually enough for you to apply for outdoor activities while SPF15 is enough for daily use.

 
That's all for my skincare tips. I hope the tips are beneficial for you guys. Don't forget to follow Beaute Heaven's blog for more beauty tips.
