5 Different Types of Mask Sheet I have Tried

Avocado in this photo is not article related ...just to add colour for this post As ageing hits me, includes a mask sheet in my beauty routine is a must. It would be unrealistic for me to say I apply a mask sheet every night unless I was born rich or my pocket has unlimited. I try to do this at least once a week now. Those days, I don't give a damn on what material they use for my mask as long as it is cheap and serum drench and I am sold! I thought it doesn't matter at all! I was wrong after all. It does matter... Talk about cheapskate me...Recently, I have quite a free time to analyze each material the face mask made off. I was like....owhhhhh... no wonder this and no wonder that. Here are the results of my research. 5 Different Types of Mask Sheet Materials I have Tried 1. Cotton  One of the most common sheet mask materials in the market. Mostly soft white cellulose fabric material. Since it's from a plant-derived, so it safe for your delicat...

Spotless Fair Skin with Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel

I have been staying indoors for most of the time ever since came back from Guilin trip, then being hospitalized and immobility due to my knee problem. Just in time after my immobility period is over the government issue a Movement Control Order. Means, I have been staying indoor for almost 5 months now. I was expecting a brighter skin. To my disappointment, I developed a dull skin, dry and even new dark spot has appeared out of nowhere. Gosh! Why???? I don't even stay out in the sun! I just realized I was on the smartphone and computer most of the time even when at home. The radiation causes my skin to become dull and develop a new spot. Yes! my bad...I even neglected the sunscreen application since I thought to stay indoor my skin will be safe from the sun rays. Knock my head hard for this. I should have been more careful.  Since I don't buy any skincare lately, so I just use whatever left at home. My current skincare doesn't have that brightening function. Dying ...

We have been under the Movement Control Order (MCO) for more than a month now. Some of you have been continuing working from home and some has been partially commuting to work. Few of you have been affected by the current slump down the global economy and lost employment. We basically have to adapt to this new norm in our life. No or less dining out.

Do We Need Sunscreen To Stay Indoor?

During this Movement Control Order (MCO) period, many of us diligently play our part to stay indoor. Most of us are spending our time indoors than outdoor. I bet some of us has been neglecting sunscreen in our daily skincare routine. We are all aware to apply the SPF when outdoor to avoid sunburn. How about indoor? What are we protecting from? Well, the sun's UVA rays kind of penetrate through clouds and windows too. These rays are really bad for the skin. It causes discolouration, fine lines and skin cancer too. Do you know that there are four types of lights harmful to your delicate skin? UVB (burning) rays - These rays are associated with sunburns and the beach. It can cause skin cancer if overly expose without any skin protection. UVA (ageing) rays - The most harmful since we have nowhere to hide from these rays. It penetrates through clouds when you are outdoor. It even comes in through the window if you are indoor. An enemy for our delicate skin since it ...

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
