INTRODUCTION TO KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY-ORGANIC PRODUCTS FOR SKIN

I am so excited to share a new brand that just came to Malaysia and that brand is Kahina Giving Beauty. This is brand from US and it is VERY VERY famous in the western country for the argan infused products.

If you are a person who love everything organic and natural, I am sure you have heard of Kahina already, but if not get to know about their really amazing products and give them a try! Out of all of so many organic products, this is one of my new found favourite.

KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY





About Kahina


Founded by Katherine L’Heureux in 2008, Kahina Giving Beauty was fueled by a personal experience she had while traveling through the Moroccan desert. After experiencing the healing powers of argan oil that have been utilized by Moroccan women for centuries, she brought the oil home to share with friends and family. Having been deeply touched by the connection she was able to forge between women across the world through this ancient beauty ingredient, Katherine ventured back to Morocco to meet with the women who extract this lovely beauty oil: the Berber women. Struck at once by a need to share this beautiful oil with women around the world, she also sought a way to improve the lives of the Berber women who made it all possible. Since starting her company, Katherine has made many trips to Morocco to ensure the ethical treatment of the women who extract the oil. As a testament to their artisan skills, the signatures of the women who extract this oil grace all the packaging of the Kahina Giving Beauty products. 


"Kahina Giving Beauty is a holistic line of organic skin care named for a Berber Queen and prophetess, a symbol of empowerment and a heroine for the Berber women. Kahina Giving Beauty donates a percentage of profits to support programs that improve the lives of these women."




Kahina Facial Cleanser- This is the cleanser that is recommended for acne prone skin as it calms the redness on the skin and does not cause irritation. I personally tried it and I think it really does make my skin smooth without feeling tight at all. It contains willowbark and papaya extracts that exfoliate and eliminate toxic from the skin. I think it is super great because acne prone skin is usually very sensitive to friction but it also need exfoliation to remove at those clogged up pores. If you are the type that are looking for organic cleanser, then this is the one to go.


Kahina Toning Mist
Kahina Toning Mist

 Kahina Toning Mist: This mist sure smell subtle and lovely. The mist contains aloe barbadensis and Morrocan desert rose that really tone up my skin with it. I can act as a light day moisturiser especially in weather that is super hot and I just love the smell of the mist very much. I find that it absorb fast into the skin too.

Kahina Brightening Serum:
Kahina Brightening Serum:
Kahina Brightening Serum: This is another wonder product from Kahina, this serum smells subtle and pleasant. Formulated with a blend of argan, green tea, Japanese wakame seaweed, organic white lily, and maritime pine, this serum works to visibly refine skin texture, reduce discoloration, hyper-pigmentation, acne scarring and spots, and other uneven tone. This is a brightening serum that is suitable even for sensitive skin.



 KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY
KAHINA100% Argan Oil:

100% Argan Oil: This is their first product and their standard of gold. This oil is sure very unique. Ethically sourced by the Berber women, this oil is just soooooooo pure and soothing. It glides on like a dream and it absorbs into the skin almost instantly. It's perfect for a number of uses including use as a facial oil for hydration and fighting fine lines and wrinkles, cleansing oil, body oil, hydrate hair, soothe irritations (including eczema). You can even mixed in with your body lotion or your sunscreen to help fight free radical damage and protect the skin from outside irritants. It is really an awesome product! Not only it is a versatile product, it is very good for sensitive skin. It is a multipurpose oils you'll want because it is just so useful. It has a pleasant and subtle nutty scent. Believe me, I was blown away by the results. I will sure pick up the full size of it soon. One only need two to three drops so the whole bottle can last you for a very long time.


KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY
Kahina Antioxidant Mask
Kahina Antioxidant Mask- the mask sure smell heavenly with eucalptus and mint. This superb mask contains argan oil and silica-rich rhassoul clay to get rid of the toxic from the skin, it also works as eye mask to brighten up the dark eyes circles. Seriously, my skin is brighten up and softer with just ONE use! It might sound expensive for a mask but one only needs to apply very thin layer on the face to see the results. This is another amazing product from Kahina.

Now, I can understand what is the rave about and why all the products work so effectively. Kahina Giving beauty products is organic, natural and ethically made.  Their products are made for all type of skin that I am sure many would fell in love with it the moment they try. I also like the fact that Kahina are constantly donating to non-profits to help plant trees and also helping to improve and support the lives of the Berber women who source the argan oil in Morocco. Donating for a cause and enjoying your beauty products knowing it comes from reputable source. Do check out this brand; you won't regret it.

REVIEW ON TRUDTOX 15 TEABAGS+FREE 2 TEABAGS -DETOX YOUR BODY FOR A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

If you are a person who always feels tired, constipation and or suddenly breaking out, then chances are that your body is overloading with toxic.  Your liver would not be able to flush out everything and sooner more and more problem would arise from not taking head of it.

Of course we want radiant skin and having toxic inside the body is not going to help it.  If you believe in Eastern medicine, we actually believe that toxic manifest itself in form of acne because of unbalanced skin. To balances it, we usually turn towards natural herbs to get rid of those toxic inside our body.  Nowadays most people would learn towards natural stuff to aid us in having a healthy body and skin without the side effect in the long run.

Okay, no ones like having acne on their skin.  Usually the first of getting rid of acne is to get rid of the toxic from the body.  In Asian countries, we usually go for herbal drinks, green tea or Sensei medicine practitioner
for something to remove toxic out of our system first.  Then, only the skincare products will work on the skin.  So, matter how expensive and amazing is the skincare products, it won't work if our body is still overloaded with toxic.  It is just like pouring honey into a can of mud. The goodness of honey won't get rid of the mud.

Brew tea bag in a cup of hot water for 20 – 30 minutes.

Note:
Colour, texture, smell and taste may vary slightly from batch to batch due to the variations of natural ingredients used





My skin was really not in a condition when TruDtox teabags arrived.  So,  I am really happy that I can get rid of the toxic inside my body first because my skincare doesn't seem to do anything when they used to work just fine.  I suspected that my body is already out of balance because of the heat and sleepless nights.

I pour hot water into the jug and left it for 30minutes.  The drink should be dark for it to work wonderful on  your body.  Personally,  I love the taste and smell of this herbal tea.  It is not bitter at all.  I drank it at all and at 5am, I will run to the toilet to just get rid of everything. My body is sure full of toxic because I was having constipation problem few days ago.

The results is different on each person.  I was the only one waking up running to the toilet at 6am each time I try it.  I didn't wake up at 5am to the toilet as there was no constipation problem and going to the toilet was easy even if I didn't take TruDtox.  My skincare products seems to be working better on me too.  It is very important to detoxify your body from all the bad stuff before feeding your body with good things.

My other family members wake up just normally and going to the toilet was super easy for them.  My mother who have constipation issues said she took it only once and she said that she doesn't have the constipation issues.  I guess it is because she eats at home and doesn't have food issues like me.  I eat outside most of the time and thus have a lot of toxic inside my body.

When I drink the TruDtox, my body was much lighter and yes when my skin is better, I feel good too.=)

So, the next time your skin is not behaving no matter what you use then it is time to Detox your body.  Don't run to the dermatologist immediately for a dose of injection or antibiotic for your skin. Those is temporary relief from your problems.  Try to go natural first.





TruDtox retails at RM29.50 for a pack of 5 teabags and RM88.50 for a pack of 15+2 teabags.
TruDtox is available in most leading pharmacies such as Caring, Watsons, Guardian, Alpha, Alpro,
Healthlane, Vitacare etc as well as independence pharmacies nationwide.

TruDtox is also available online in www.plincco.com, www.lazada.com.my. For more information, please visit official TruDtox website and Trudox facebook page. Product are sponsored by However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

On 8/6/2014, I attended this amazing Kiehl's Fun In The Sun Bloggers Event. It was my first time attending Butterflies event and I am really happy that I was chosen for it.

FROZEN TREES CACTUS TERRARIUM


I really am not good in gardening but here is my cactus terrarium and there is a reason on why I chose the biggest wine glass out of the other glasses there. Since I have to walk back, the cactus terrarium also act as my sort of safety measure. I am scared since I keep hearing about those snatch thief events but this cactus terrarium made me feel safe and just in case IF.. but luckily nothing bad happened.

Kiehl team are really awesome for even reading my mind. I am bad in gardening and I can’t believe myself that I can come up with this.


Before we go into their oil free range, let's get to know more about Kiehl's.






Kiehl's was founded as an old-world apothecary in New York's East Village neighborhood. Its unique, extensive background represents a blend of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, herbal, and medicinal knowledge developed and advanced through the generations.

KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL OIL FREE RANGE&KIEHL'S FUN IN THE SUN BLOGGER EVENT SECRET GARDEN ONE UTAMA
Kiehl Ultra Facial Oil Free range


The oil free range for normal to oily skin . There are only three products in the range =) .  If you have other skin concern other than hydration, then I would advice to go into the shop for consultation and bring home some samples to try.



Kiehl is very famous with the Ultra Facial cream and Ultra Facial Oil Free Cream is the new range that caters for normal to oily skin. There are only three products in this range and it to help balance the skin. Every skin types needs moisturizer and it is important to use the correct products meant for your skin type. 





February 2014, New York, NY – For over 160 years, Kiehl’s has been serving its customers the most efficacious formulas made with the finest natural ingredients. Throughout that time, they have also sought to develop different formulas for different skin types. Today, Kiehl’s proudly introduces their newest innovation for normal to oily skin types, Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream Fresh Hydration. Formulated to achieve the fine balance necessary to keep skin looking virtually shine-free for 24 hours, while also maintaining its essential moisture for a full 24 hours of fresh hydration.



“When caring for oily skin, it is important to strive for balance rather than simply using products to remove oil and degrease the skin,” shares Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Consulting Dermatologist. “Although it seems counterintuitive, oily skin still needs hydration and protection of its barrier function. I frequently see patients try to reduce oil by over-drying their skin, which often leads to more oil as the skin compensates to protect its essential moisture. A product with an oil-free gel cream formula that does not add oil but maintains moisture is a good foundation for an effective skin care regimen for those with oily skin.”

KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser


KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser
this is the cleanser.  sorry for the blurness-i laready tried taking 8 photos of this but it is still blur =(



Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser is a quick-lathering cleansing foam that thoroughly removes impurities and visibly reduces excess oil on skin’s surface, while leaving skin looking more balanced. With Imperata Cylindrica Root and Lemon Fruit Extracts, our non-stripping, sulfate-free formula leaves skin clean and refreshed without over-drying. Gentle enough for sensitive skin. Oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free.

Gently massage into damp facial areas avoiding the immediate eye area; rinse thoroughly.


Contains:
Imperata Cylindrica (Desert Plant Extract)
The Imperata Cylindrica plant thrives in dry, excessively saline environments and is native to many of Earth’s deserts, but is especially prolific in the Australian Outback. Imperata Cylindrica’s roots contain high concentrations of potassium which provides an immediate and lasting hydrating effect. In our formulation, Imperata Cylindrica helps skin to store and retain moisture efficiently – even in the driest weather conditions. It is believed that indigenous Australians of centuries past used the desert plant as a substitute for salt, due to its high saline content.


Lemon Extract
This bright and zesty citrus fruit has long had a prominent role in cosmetics and aromatherapy. Lemons are high in natural fruit acids and have the highest percentage of Vitamin C of all the fruits. Its extracts from the fruit and essential oil (expressed from the peel) have astringent and antiseptic quality that freshens, stimulates and rejuvenates sluggish skin and adds lusterous shine to the hair. In aromatherapy, lemons inspire a cooling, refreshing and uplifting feeling.


The cleanser is seriously fragrance free.  I couldn't smell anything from it. However, If your skin is the dry type, it is better not to use it.  It is good if you have normal to oily type skin type.  It foam up very fast and using a pea size is enough to create a lot of foam.  Tips: foam the cleanser up on your palm before applying it on your face.  The key to gentle cleansing is foam the cleanser on your palm.  There will be less friction and easy to clean to.  It cleanses the skin really well.  It works to remove light makeup too.



Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner
RM85/ 250ml

KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner

Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner is formulated to visibly reduce excess oil on skin’s surface, while leaving it instantly fresh and healthy looking. Made with Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract and Antarcticine to soothe and hydrate skin, our non-drying alcohol-free formula gently removes any remaining residue, dirt and oil without stripping skin of vital moisture. PH-balanced, and tested for safety and gentleness. Oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free.

Contains:
Antarcticine (Glacial Glycoprotein Extract)
Antarcticine, sourced from Antarctica, is a glycoprotein* that has demonstrated many unique benefits when used in skincare formulas. With superb protection against dryness, Antarcticine helps hydrate skin and provides it with a noticeably smoother appearance while shielding skin from the damaging effects of free-radicals. It further helps to protect skin from extremely cold temperatures, facilitating skin’s retention of natural water reserves. The organic substance thrives in the most extreme environmental conditions as a result of the cryoprotective (protection against freezing) properties of the molecule.<br> <br> *A glycoprotein is a macromolecule composed of a protein and a carbohydrate (an oligosaccharide).

KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner

The Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner smells very light but I just can’t figure out what it is. Something like very light lemon as it is not those choking type and this toner doesn’t contain alcohol at all so it would not dry your skin.  It is hydrating and keeps the skin matte too.  I find that using this does help to condition my T-zone to be less oily.  This is sure not those traditional toner that can harm the skin and I do like it because of the hydrating properties but at the same time it controls the oil production.  It is really lovely and enjoyable to use them.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream



Kiehl Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream Fresh Hydration is refreshing, non-sticky formula that help to balance the oil and hydrate the skin.
