Extra Facial Care Routine

Hello everyone!! I decided to talk about facial care tips in this post today. I'm sure most of us did our basic skincare routine everyday (cleansing-toner-cream), but we also need to have extra facial care in order to achieve a flawless skin. I would explain each product briefly, hope you guys enjoy it!



Pores Care- Hanaka Pores Reduce Facial Mask


Basic cleansing is not enough to clean the pores deeply. By applying pore mask once or twice a week, it can reduce the blackheads and whiteheads and prevent pimples trouble at the same time, make your pores virtually invisible!

I'm using Hanaka facial mask(wash-off). This charcoal mask claims to remove harmful substances from pores, minimizing the pores, remove sebum, whitening and firming. Well, I think it really works! It deep cleanses my pores! Apply this mask for 30 minutes after you wash your face, twice a week! The formula is jelly type, it kinds of remind me the herbal jelly~LOL This mask is not easy to remove by using hands, the product suggests to use the spatula to scrap it off and rinse it with water. But I personally prefer to remove it by using cleansing sponge, it is more convenient and easy!

PROS: contains charcoal, pores become really clean, skin become soft and smooth and refreshing
CONS: -



Exfoliation- Skinfood Balck Sugar Wash-Off Mask


Why is exfoliation so important? Exfoliation helps us to remove the dry/dead skin cells of our face. It is considered one of the most important facial care in order to achieve a healthy and glowing skin.

I'm using black sugar wash off mask from Skinfood. Skinfood's best-selling product! My skin becomes very smooth and soft like baby skin after I use it! Highly recommend!!! Apply the mask onto damp face, gently exfoliate in circular motions, leave it for 10-15minutes then rinse the mask off with warm water. Exfoliate once a week. Overdo it can cause irritation to the skin. Also, do not massage your in heavy-handed, this can cause harshness to the skin. Massage it gently, let the exfoliating particles do their job. After exfoliation, remember to apply moisture cream.

If you are afraid of exfoliating particles can be too harsh to your skin, you may choose a peeling gel. Remember, always try the product in the store before you purchase it to avoid irritation.

PROS: contain black sugar, exfoliate effectively, non-drying, smooth, soft and gentle
CONS:-

Sheet Facial Masks

Nature Republic's sheet masks

Sheet facial masks are the secret to achieve a glowing skin too! The sheet mask is soaked in essence and sealed in pack for one time use with the holes of your eyes,nose and mouth. The sheet mask is just like serum. Most of their concerns are moisturizing,nourishing and whitening!

You can use mask regularly to see the lasting effects on your skin, perhaps twice a week! After a mask, gently dab the essence,let it absorb into the skin. Lastly, apply moisture cream. I usually place my sheet mask pack in the fridge for 5 minutes before I apply it to soothe my tired skin, and it is cool and refresh! I have tried the sheet masks from thefaceshop,myscheming, nature republic, etude house and neutrogena! And my favorite one is myscheming's masks from Taiwan :) 



I'm always believe that by spending a little time to clean your pores, exfoliate and apply sheet mask can make your skin become radiant. I hope my tips are useful to all of you. Have a nice day guys!!

Mini Korean Cosmetics Haul ♥

I can't believe it is December now, time is going by so fast, 2015 is coming soon! Recently I got myself some cosmetics from ebay, I have been using these for few weeks, I'm going to do a review on them <3



Innisfree Water Glow Cushion SPF50 PA+++


There are two versions for summer, long wear cushion (suitable for combination-oily skin/matte finish) and water glow cushion (suitable for dry-normal skin/dewy finish). They come into three shades: light beige#13, natural beige#21 and true beige#23.

This is a water-glow cushion formulated to moisture the skin and give it a dewy look and luminous glow. My shade is #21 (natural beige). I think the oil-control is okay for me. My t-zone become oily after 10 hours. This cushion is great for summer, its natural dewy finish does not make my face looks greasy! The price is affordable, RM67 something in ebay.

PROS: SPF, light, natural dewy finish, medium coverage, flawless skin
CONS: -

Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Cream



This antioxidant moisture cream (50ml) is formulated with freshly squeezed Jeju green tea and green tea seeds to create a clear and dewy skin from deep within.

I use this as a night cream. It has a light green tea scent and the formula is light. It does not leave my skin greasy and sticky. My currently favorite moisturizer!

PROS: moisture, nourish, no sticky, no greasy, light formula, no breakouts, gentle and  mild
CONS: a basic moisturizer, can't lighten acne scars, doesn't come with a spatula and a plastic cap

Tony Delight Tint- Red

Download from ebay



This was my first time using tony moly's lip product. I was pretty impressed by this lip tint. I apply this lip tint to make gradient lips <3 The colour is quite dark in the picture because I applied too much coats on my hand. 

PROS: last quite longer, doesn't dry out my lip, nice scent and pigmented
CONS: -

Hope you guys enjoy this post <3 I will try to update my blog more often  Have a nice day guys!
