Pros:

~ Add volume

~ Lengthens the lashes

~ Thickens the lashes

~ Doesn't clumps

~ Applies evenly

Cons:

~ Smudges

~ Flakes

Overall Impression:

I kinda like this mascara because it really helps to lengthens my lashes and add volume to my lashes. If I apply 3 coats of the mascara, my lashes will be super long. It doesn't clumps but sometimes it will smudge. The mascara is long-lasting but after a few hours flakes will occur. But still, I like this mascara more than other mascara.

Whitening Effect :

Naturally-derived whitening ingredient, Chamomile ET, reduces melanin production and protects skin from dark spots and freckles.

Usage direction :

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

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.

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 ^^
