STAY AWAY FROM CANCER BY DANCING!

AXA AFFIN recently collaborated with National Cancer Service Malaysia (NCSM) in a project to support cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy in this campaign. AXA AFFIN will fund the cost for usage of NCSM Treatment Centre to one cancer patients for every blogger that links back to AXA AFFIN 110CancerCare website in their effort to care for cancer patients.

Recent statistic has shown that one in four Malaysians will develop cancer by the age of 75 years old. Many of us know that being physically active can reduce the risk of cancer, but this is way easier said than done. Especially in this generation where we are constantly glued to our gadgets, from laptops to Playstations and tablets, but hey, sports can be fun and social too! Here’s one- dance. Learning a new dance is a fun exercise, and a great hobby to pick up too.

Dance your way to a cancer-free life
There are many types of dance, be it either the free-style hip-hop dance or the classic ballroom dance, you can’t go wrong. Having two left legs or two right legs isn’t an excuse, no one is born with ballet shoes on, and you don’t need to be a professional dancer to start dancing!

Why should I start dancing?
Let’s start counting the benefits of dancing, and I can assure you that there are more than one of them! First of all, dancing increases your muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness. At the same time, it reduces the risks of osteoporosis while increasing your aerobic fitness.

Secondly, dancing improves the condition of your heart and lungs. In other words, it reduces the risks of heart attack and stroke.

Last but not least, be prepared to say goodbye to the fat in your body once you start dancing, as it is one of the most effective ways to burn the fat and lose weight. Not to mention that recent researches show that frequent dancing makes us smarter, apart from being more confident and sociable. It is so hard to believe that, apart from chess and scrabble, this vigorous exercise can heighten our IQ too!

Take it one step at a time, and take it slow
If you are a beginner in dancing, don’t push yourself too hard. Take it one step at a time, and make sure you get breaks in between the dance sessions. Please don’t forget to do warm-up stretches and cool-down exercises before and after each dance session. Water is essential to prevent dehydration after sports, so take your tumbler with you to your dancing classes!

Saw this in Mersing.  They have a Princess carriage!

One of the beaches but not for swimming purposes anymore.  It is getting shallow as years goes by and there are many huge stones near the beach.

coconut trees are abundant here.  Love coconut drink.

REVIEW ON LOREAL WHITE PERFECT LASER ANTI SPOT BRIGHTENING ESSENCE

It actually very watery

Ingredients: AQUA/WATER GLYCERIN ISOCETYL STEARATE CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE BUTYLENE GLYCOL TOCOPHERYL ACETATE POLYACRYLAMIDE ELLAGIC ACID CETYL ALCOHOL C13-14 ISOPARAFIN STEARIC ACID PEG-100 STEARATE GLYCERYL STEARATE XANTHAN GUM LAURETH-7 CALCIUM PANTETHEINE SULFONATE SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE DISODIUM EDTA POLOXAMER 184 STEARYL ALCOHOL MYRISTYL ALCOHOL FAGUS SYLVATICA EXTRACT/FAGUS SYLVATICA BUD EXTRACT LACTIC ACID HYDROXYISOHEXYL3-CYCLOHEXENE CABROXALDEHYDE BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL PROPYLPAR ABENPHENOXYETHANOL METHYLPARABEN CHLOPHENE SIN PARFUM/FRAGRANCE CITRONELLOL GERANIOL HEXYLCINNAMAL LIMONENE LINALOOL (FIL:B12531/1)

The essence is quite watery and opaque but when you apply it to the skin, it gets absorb quite fast leaving behind a silky skin.  After one week of using it, it does brighten up my skin.  I think it will work faster to lighten the stubborn dark spot if you use it with other brightening products.

Although it is a drugstore products, it does work as claimed.  The essence is to apply all over the face so do not do spot treat or you will get one patch of area that is brighter than the other area!

However, if you have acne prone skin, don't use any whitening/brightening products.

REVIEW ON TOTAL IMAGE APPLE STEM CELL DRINK+ GIVEAWAY

The package arrived with a pretty red ribbon tied to the box. Ahh..a nice touch.

I am really thankful to get contacted to try this Total Image apple stem cell drink =) .It is a new product that is made from rare type of Swiss apple. This is my first time of trying beauty drink =) .


Before that let get to know about Total Image and about Total Image Apple Stem cell drink.



Total Image Regional Malaysia was founded and established in 1984 and was originated in the USA. The company is one of the first fewest slimming and beauty companies pioneering in natural, high performance slimming, beauty and health products. Our products are available in retail pharmacies nationwide and well known for its Collagen supplement which has been in the market for 22 years. Being supplements, our products are also registered and certified safe for consumption by Malaysia’s Ministry of Health.  Their  products are also certified HALAL.

The front view

15bottles inside for 1month consumption

Each bottle contain 50ml liquid.  The bottle is dark and it is made of glass so it is a little heavy.  The function is to avoid The UV light from destroying the benefits and to avoid any chemical reaction since fruits is kind of acidic in their pure form.  However, don't misunderstand as the acid in fruits is high in antioxidant and is important for our health and skin.  That is why some people apply Vitamin C on their skin.

There is some bubbles in the drink.  I think that is the peptide.

Benefits
Formulated with rare species of Swiss apple which is well known for its tremendous storability without shrinking, this refreshing apple drink stimulates your skin’s stem cells to repair and regenerate itself to help you achieve a younger looking and moisturized skin appearance. Combined with Salmon & Silk Peptide plus Acerola extract boost moisture retention and helps lighten skin complexion for fairer, glowing skin.

Ingredients
Apple Stem Cell, Salmon Roe Peptide, Silk Peptide, R.O. Water, Lychee Juice, Fructo-Oligosaccharide, Permitted Food Conditioner, Vitamin & Mineral Premix (Thiamine, Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Biotin, Folic Acid, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B12, B2, B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium & Zinc), Amino Acids Complex (Arginine, Alanine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine & Methionine)


Instruction
Shake well and consume immediately. Finish one bottle daily before breakfast for the first 10 days, followed by one bottle on alternate days. Best served chilled.



The Apple stem cell drink tasted sweet and juicy. There is a hint of salmon roe and also lychee but it doesn’t make it taste bad or nausea. Of course, it will taste better if chilled.

I was on a week of diet that is high in chicken, meat but low in vegetables and no fruits so I was having constipation and my skin was wrecking havoc on me.  I was so happy that Apple Stem Cell drink appeared at the right time and help me to ease my problem. Surprisingly when I am on this, I don’t have any constipation problem at all. I know it must be the help from this cell drink since few day before I started drinking Total Image Apple Stem, I was having constipation and my face started to break out =(   .  Although it is not mention in their leaflet, I think this drink contains fiber that is really good for lazy people like me or when you are busy.  This Total Image Apple Stem Cell drink help to enhance the effect of the skincare products that you use.  The combination of proper supplement like drinking beauty drink, healthy lifestyle, proper skincare products and also food will be shown on your skin.

On the 10th day, my skin was less oilier and more moist.  The effect is not immediate of course but I can notice the effect starting from the 10days of consuming it.  It must because this drink help to nourish and help with the renewal of my skin =) . Sorry for my very big eye bags since it is genetics.

Here is the results.  Sorry for some problem with the lighting.  I think one can see more obvious results if you compare day 1 and day 20.

Products retails at RM133.00 for 1month supply in a box of 15 bottles.

REVIEW ON THEFACESHOP SAMPLES

Somewhere in October, I redeem some samples from the Honeyz Cube.  It is the source to instant beauty, skincare and makeup reviews. Just sign up with email or facebook account, then earn points by voting for your favorite products and earn points that can be redeem for some samples. Sometimes, they would have fabulous samples like SKII, full size products or deluxe samples. That finishes very fast of course.  No delivery charges so isn't that wonderful?

Yup, I understand that most of us love to try products before we actually buy the full size since it might not be suitable for us.  This is one of the website that I usually go to apply for samples.  The delivery via normal mail for me in Malaysia takes around 2weeks.

You will need to redeem with: 150 Cube Points

The set contains

Chia Seed Moisture-Holding Seed Cream (2ml), Raspberry roots Sleeping Mask (1ml), Baby Face Wash-Off Mask (5ml) and Flebote White Crystal Luxury Eye Serum (1ml).

Chia Seed Moisture-Holding Seed Cream (2ml) 

Most suitable for dry skin as it really moisturise the skin.  It is more like gel rather than thick cream.  I used it on my face before makeup and it help to avoid my skin from peeling.  You can use this as makeup base or mix it with cc cream for those dewy look that is very in trend now.

Raspberry roots Sleeping Mask (1ml)

Many people rave about this but it is okay for me as it is moisturising for me but doesn't really lift my skin.  I guess because I only use once.  Smell quite nice and soothing.  It doesn't leave traces on your pillow though.

Baby Face Wash-Off Mask (5ml)

reviewed Here

Flebote White Crystal Luxury Eye Serum (1ml)
This smell really nice and moisturising.  Absorb fast into the skin too.  I think it is good for those who has fine lines as it moisturize the area.

Not sure about the price of those items though.Product is not sponsored but redeemed with points from Honeyz Cube where one earn points by reviewing products =).  However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

REVIEW ON DERMEDEX

I got this in the October Wonderbox 2013 and I had read lots of rave about this products.

Personally, I don’t really like it as it seems to break me out even more.  It is different compare to me using Differin that will cause purging effect.  This is not suppose to cause purging effect.  I thought it was just me alone but the moment I stop using, the acne stop popping out too. +(  I think I am allergic to one of the ingredients inside.

I tried the cleanser both ways. One is to rub it on the wet since and wash it away after 15minutes.  The second method is to use as overnight mask.  It broke me out so I was quite upset since I have high hopes that it will work.

The only nice thing I can say about it the cleanser give me the cooling effects on my skin.  It will tingle if you have broken skin.  I guess this is not suitable for sensitive skin like me.

The refining cream smell like some strong Chinese oil and I don’t like the smell.  It does decrease the acne problems I have but after a week some pop out so I was kind of upset.

Overall, won’t try it again.

I think my favourites for battling acne is still the aspirin mask, Differin, Nixoderm and T3 Mycin.

REVIEW ON LADY GINES MASKS

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne)

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne)

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask

The mask contain the oil film to protect the thin mask

see how silly i look with sheet mask on my face.i cut it because it is really huge XP

The packet is so cute with Princess picture of those fairy tales story on it.

The mask is really thin so one have to be careful when taking it out.  There is a lot of extra essence inside but it is good since this mask doesn't drip.  It made my face felt refresh.  The mask is stretchable but the only thing I dislike is the mask is way too big for my face.  I have a small face so that is why there is always extras.  The hole of the eyes is also way too big considering my eyes are small.  I don't really like the fit but the effect of mask are really good.

The Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne) contains high niaminicide and it calm my skin much like how clindamycin would do on my skin.  I think it is good for those acne prone skin and it is not drying on the skin.

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask contains high hyaluronic acid and olive oil so it is moisturising and brightening at the same time.  It also contain niaminicide but the quantity is lower than Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming to calm the skin.  My face redden is reduce, brighter and also moisturise after using this.=)

If you like mask from Taiwan, I am sure you would like this too =).  Here is the direct link to the Lady Gines mask .

REVIEW ON THE FACE SHOP BABY FACE WASH OFF MASK PORE CARE

I love to use mask especially the one for pore care, trouble care and clearing.

So, here is the 5ml sample.  The sample last me about 2 application since one only need to apply a little.  I am suppose to just massage this on my face and wash it off.  I don't have to leave this on the face or it can be very drying since clay mask are known for sucking up all those oil on the face.  So, if you have dry skin, better don't leave this mask on the face.

The mask is soft and greenish in colour.
It find it easy to apply the clay mask on the face.  Application was smooth and the mask did make the skin soft to the touch.  It was also easy to wash it off and it doesn't stain the towel.  The clay mask did smell like talc but nothing flowery or fancy.

So, overall I think I would buy this product again since the clay mask make my skin soft to the touch. =)


No sure how much it cost.

REVIEW ON OCTOBER WONDERBOX 2013

Since my birthday is coming soon next month, I just decided to get myself a box and it is Wonderbox. Sorry, I just did it on a whim and not even thinking about it. I know many would go for Bag of Love. Let just say I never get Wonderbox before and so decided to get it.

It comes in bubble wrap

I know many complained about the unequal the amount of products. So according to them, they follow the profile so am sure on this. However, if plus the price of products, I think it is still more than RM 45 for the box and I don’t think anyone would like receiving the same Dermedex and Loreal Liese again in this box.

Since this is the first time I receive the box, I don’t received what others said as 'repeated' products.  The box is simple and lucky the ribbon is pink in colour as I dislike black and white ribbon actually.



Bio Essence Nourishing Deep Cleanser with Royal Jelly & ATP 30g

Bio Essence Radiant Youth Essence With ATP & Royal Jelly 5ml

Bio Essence Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly & ATP 10g


I tried this long time ago and I still can’t remember the effect since I stop after some time.




Dermedex BIO'TOX CLEANSER 10g

Dermedex REFINING CREAM 2 5g

I read some blog raving about this and some said that it is unsuitable for acne prone, combination and sensitive skin like mine. I think it is more suitable for those oily acne prone skins rather than my type.  However, will try it and see if it works better than T3 Mycin.



Neesya Overnight Radiance Kit

Lumi°™ Brightening Enzymatic Refiner (3ml)

Illuminating Essence (3ml)

Brightening Overnight Mask (3 ml)



It does help in brightening but one need to use few times before seeing the effect. The brightening overnight mask already dried up before I can use it so nevermind.  This is a Malaysian brand and the prices are quite affordable.



L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Shampoo 100ml

L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Masque 75ml


The shampoo does smell nice and clean my hair making it soft but I only use once a week since my hair is the oily type and it get greasy real fast if I use it everyday.



RA8 Renewal Skin Crème 5g(my guess looking at that jar)

Not much is said about this product and the effects.  Read somewhere that is made from some seaweed.  Wow, it sure sound like La Mer.




Overall, this box is quite good for first time since it contains many products for them to try it out. There is mixture of products around.  Just that that there isn't many high class brand inside and I am sure most would expect that with that amount of price.






Here is the list of price in full size

Bio Essence Nourishing Deep Cleanser with Royal Jelly & ATP RM26.90

Bio Essence Radiant Youth Essence With ATP & Royal Jelly RM95.90

Bio Essence Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly & ATP RM115.90

Dermedex BIO'TOX CLEANSER RM120.00

Dermedex REFINING CREAM 2 RM165.00

Neesya Overnight Radiance Kit RM173.00

REVIEW ON FIBERGO

the powder

This is how it look when it mix with water.

What is dietary fibre?
Divided into non-water soluble dietary fibre and soluble dietary fibre, these fibres are mainly derived from the cell walls of plants, including cellulose, hemicellulose, resin, pectin and lignin. Dietary fibre cannot be digested by the body’s decomposition process.

Why is dietary fibre important?
Interestingly, dietary fibre does not have any nutritional value but plays many roles when present in the gut. It reduces accumulation of toxins in the body, promotes intestinal peristalsis and lowers cholesterol to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dietary fibre also has a significant effect in the prevention of colorectal cancer.


Nutrition scholars refer to dietary fibre as the “7th nutrient” and the Food and Dietary Association (FDA) recommends that the appropriate amount of dietary fibre can assist in the prevention of obesity, coronary heart disease, cancer, and colon cancer.


The American Heart Association recommends that the general daily dietary fibre intake for an adult should be 25-30. Statistics show that more than half of the population consumes less than 15 grams of dietary fibre per day, leading to an increasing number of people facing constipation and toxins in the body. \"A large number of scientific researches have confirmed that lack of dietary fibre, an unbalanced diet are significant reasons for the increase in obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and malignant conditions.


How FibreGo works

It has Psyllium fibre which is extremely rich in fibre and helps absorb toxins in the large intestine to be excreted. Drinking FibreGo before a meal gives you a sense of being full and it also binds excess fats.
Bitter orange fruit fibre high in antioxidant that promotes intestinal detoxification, at the same time helping to reduce appetite for controlled eating.
Aloe Vera stimulates the movement of food to different processing stations in the digestive tract (peristalsis) and promotes better stool excretion.
Green Tea is an antioxidant that helps fight bacteria, virus, and certain tumours as well as control blood sugar levels and prevents low density fat from being absorbed. Why choose FibreGo?

It is formulated according to leading U.S. Nutrition Research guidelines and prepared specifically for the Asian physique and body composition. It presents no side effects and will not cause dependence on the formula.
All ingredients are natural and high in quality. FibreGo’s main ingredient is the high purity psyllium which has fibre content of 80%, and makes up 70-80% of an individual’s daily intake of soluble dietary fibre. Comparatively, fibre-rich grains like oats and wheat bran only contribute 15% and 10% of daily fibre consumption respectively. Additionally, psyllium fibre has the ability to absorb water and swell to about 50 times from its original form, helping in large intestine motility and promotes smoother excretion.
FibreGo taste great and has impressed the general public who often fear the poor taste of dietary fibre. Even kids will love its natural taste!



It is in form of powder but when it touches the water, it will turn into drinks with fiber.  There is some rough beads of powder.  It won't dissolve even if you stir the drink many times. Besides, it is quite sticky but drinkable.  I guess that is where the fiber is. The drink is sweet with orange flavour.

I was having some constipation problem that day but when I drink this, I have no problem at all.  I think this fibergo is really good to help with digestion since it contains fiber.  Since it is only a packet, I can't tell you the long term effect but I think it does help with the digestion.

HEALTHY FOOD FOR LUNCH

the one from the left is tomato, fish rolls, tofu and zucchini

garlic with spinach to be like Popeye the sailorman

this is homemade sambal without the chilli seeds.  It contains olive oil and many other herbs.

Hi, I am back with recommendation of healthy food for a slim body and to look young.  Have lunch like a Prince and this is one of the menu that I usually eat at home.  Well, I am picky but I can't stand to starve myself even for a day.  So, if it comes to worse, I would just eat fruits.

Normally, my mum doesn't cook chicken and other red meat.  Her favourite is only fishes everyday.  Still, I am wearing glasses and I think it would be worse if I don't eat fish everyday.  I guess it is because of genetic build that both of my parents wear glasses and so I do.  Yeah, I look like a nerd wearing glasses but oh well.. it doesn't matter.

The Fish rolls that you see above is a mixture of fish, green peas,carrots and wrap with tofu skin and bake inside the oven.  It is actually a traditional Hokkien food that only appears during Chinese New Year.  My mum make some changes to it to make it more healthy.  My saliva will drip every time my mum cook this.  Yeah, am not joking.  The number of my favourite food can be counted with my 10 fingers.  SO picky right?

People said that Mediterranean diet is good for a healthy body and skin.  When I think about it, it looks like my daily food.  So, that is why I wonder if that is the reason that I do look younger than my real age.  Yeah, it sound like I am bragging but it works and my skin would wreck havoc on me when I stray from my normal diet.

A diet that is high in vegetables, fishes and fruits is good for a health body.  One doesn't need to starve to get a slim body.  That is what I called torture.  I am definitely not a believer of pain for the sake of beauty.  Being slim does not mean stick thin but healthy body and young looking skin.  It is important to be careful of the food intake and also using good products but not necessary expensive products to have achieve good skin.  One may blame on it all on genetics but that is only 50%.  The another 50% comes from habits.  My family father and mother side are also mostly XL or XXL but we are thin due to cultivating healthy habit in us since young.

Of course it hard to resist those beautiful cakes, fried chicken and such but health is not like rocket science.  You can't build it in one day.

Well, who don't want a healthy skin that is radiant like Koreans right?





The food here is cooked by my mum and is not from any other restaurant available. It is not a sponsored food review.
What I said here is also not to demoralise anyone or anybody.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

MY HAUL AT HISHOP

Last month, I did a haul from HiShop.  Personally, there are many things that I wanted to buy but since am broke so I only did a little haul from it.  So, here is what I bought.

Lemonlime ADE Mask RM4.50

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask RM5.90

Garden Of Eden Rosa T Triple Action Acne Serum (Sample)

Garden Of Eden Natur E Scar Serum (Sample)

Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash - Pomegranate (500ml - Refill Pack) RM8.90

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne) Mask (1pc) RM5.90

Baviphat Natural Pure Lemon Facial Foam 200ml RM19.90

Personally, service was okay since I bought everything on a public holiday so they get back to me a few days later.  The courier was really fast as HiShop email back to me on Monday and I got my things on Tuesday itself via Gdex.  They also send the tracking number to me so that I can track your things incase it get lost somewhere.  Their customer service was good as they replied to your message the next day itself.

I always have to worry about my things since some certain courier will not even message or call me to tell me that my things have arrived and then they will just send my things back to the original sender!  How pissed I was when that happened to me since I couldn't be going to that courier counter everyday and ask if my things has arrived?  I would look like an idiot.

So, personally I prefer Post Laju or Gdex here.  Fast, efficient and good.

HiShop bubble wrap their things and you would not have to worry anything got spilled during the process of arrived at your place.  They make sure everything is wrap securely even if it is just some tiny samples.  So far, I have received everything from them in securely, protected and in good condition.  So you don't have to worry about it.

Moreover, their things are really genuine and of good quality.  It is the same as buying from the shop or pharmacies =) .  Overall, would I buy again?  Yes because there are some certain brands that is only available in HiShop like Skinmiso and it is really good.

CLINIC NATTA COSME QUESTION: COTTON PADS ARE COMMONLY USED TO APPLY TONER ON FACE FOR BETTER ABSORPTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

COTTON PADS ARE COMMONLY USED TO APPLY TONER ON FACE FOR BETTER ABSORPTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

So, I got this question to help answer from Clinic Natta Cosme.  I am a believer that one should use cotton pad to use toner.  This is because there is difference between using and not using toner.  Let me tell you a story about how important of using cotton pad to apply toner on the face.

Suzuran Lily Bell Lilian Puff. Cost RM9.90 for 222 pcs/pack. Here is the direct link

Here is the story about using cotton pads:

A: This toner is no good!  I don't see any difference on my face.

B: How come?  Everyone said that it is good.  Are you using it with cotton pad?

A: Really?  I only pat it on my face using my hand.

B: *horrified*.  It doesn't work that way!  You should use cotton pad. Bla bla bla.....

After one week

A: I am in love with this toner!  Thanks for telling me the correct way of using the toner.

B: Glad that it work for you. (it is important to use cotton pads)

This is a true story of the importance of using cotton pad to apply toner.  Some people may not find it importance to get good cotton pad or soft cotton pad but to me it does make a difference.  It is not necessary to choose expensive or branded cotton pad if you can't afford it as long as you choose some fluffy cotton pad that doesn't hurt the skin.  Some cotton pad are really rough to use, so avoid those.

Using the cotton pad correctly help to clean the skin from all the dead cells and dirt accumulated through the day.  It will also allows the skin to absorb the importance ingredients from serum, essence or moisturiser later.  You don't want those precious ingredients to just stay on top of your skin right?  Besides that, cotton pads have even surface that allow the toner to cover all the area of the skin so that our skin is clean throughout.  This can't be done if we are just using our hands.  Besides that our hands is full with bacteria and using your hands to use the toner is asking for trouble.  It means you are putting bacteria on your skin.

There are two side to the cotton pads and I always utilise both side.  I realise this method work with most of the toner that I am using.  Your skin will be more plump up and softer after that.  Try it yourself to see the differences.


How to use the toner:
1.  Pour about 3.5cm/1,5inch of toner on to the cotton pad.  Make sure it is really wet up to the other side.  It is optional to use two cotton pads.
2.  Then swipe on the T zone first (your nose, and forehead), then swipe on the other area.  Only go through your skin one time.  Don't swipe more than once.  Your skin is not some rough tree bark.
3.  Then turn over to the other side.  Use the other side to pat the toner onto the skin 2-3 few times on each area.

If you are hardworking, you can do this twice a day for faster effect.  Don't do this more than twice a day.  Nothing good will come of being overboard.
