Swanicoco product consists of 90% to 100% natural ingredients, risen to the top of Rankey.com’s list of natural cosmetics in Korea.  Their standout products are the Bitamin C line, the Centella Asiatica Salve and PHA 10% Coco Soft Peeling Cream.
Swanicoco harnesses Korea’s high-tech biotechnology to provide products that are science-based, ranging from epidermal growth factors to snail mucin to fermented ingredients. Founded by Seong Chunseon as a way to treat her family’s sensitive skin, Swanicoco soon expanded after getting rave reviews of her naturally fermented soaps from her neighbors.


Swanicoco Overnight Intensive Recharging Hydrogel Mask Pack contains gold and honey.

This mask also has a patented embossing hydrogel sheet, that adheres easily to your skin, helping your skin absorb all its nutrients effectively.
It removes skin waste and is a highly nourishing treat for you and your skin

Swanicoco Overnight Intensive Recharging Hydrogel Mask Pack easily adheres to skin, removes skin waste, and is highly nourishing. This mask contains gold and honey and is a patented embossing hydrogel sheet.

Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Ceratonia Siliqua Gum, Glucomannan, Glycereth-26, Propolis Extract, Honey Extract, Xanthan Gum, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Potassium Chloride, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Dextrin, Adenosine, Betaine, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Luffa Cylindrica Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Disodium EDTA, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Tin Oxide, Gold(1ppm), Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil


Swanicoco Overnight Intensive Recharging Hydrogel Mask Pack comes in one piece packaging with some information printed on the package.  The ingredients list is printed in Korean though.

Inside the mask is protected by two pieces of pearl paper and a thin plastic.  It is sandwiched in between the pearl paper and thin plastic.  The mask is separated into two pieces.  It is gel with gold flecks and honey shape pattern all over.

I do like the fit for my face.  The size is about the usual Asian face.  It has the special embossing pattern of honey comb patterns with fancy gold shinning.


It is paraben free, sulfate free, silicone free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free.

The ingredients are pretty good me since it contains lots of hydrating ingredients, calming ingredients and anti aging ingredients.  If you like propolis, this mask has lots of them which is nice.  There is also the BHA which is to help with exfoliating pores for acne prone skin.

The price is very affordable considering it is hydrogel since some paper sheet masks are more pricey than this.

The sheet mask adheres very well to my face and I can wear it for 45minutes compare to paper sheet masks.  It does becomes thin the longer you wait to remove it.  It doesn't irritate my skin or cause more acne.  It does make my face looks dewy, brighter and looks calm after I remove the sheet mask.  The scent is pretty light of honey.

Overall, Swanicoco Overnight Intensive Recharging Hydrogel Mask Pack is a nice affordable hydrogel sheet mask with propolis ingredients for special occassion or just for that dewy skin look instantaneously glowing for acne prone skin.

Texture:  Pink powder with faint earthy strawberry scent.  The medium is of medium kind which is not too fine and not grainny.  I use boiled water and all a little with dropper to make that gluey texture for mask.

Review: As cleanser, I find it better to use it as a morning cleanser.  It is not strong enough to clean makeup at night so therefore use a makeup remover or another cleanser before hand.  As mask, I really like it a lot.  It really does reduce the irritation and redness on my face especially after I pick on my skin.  Colloidal oatmeal is a proven ingredient with science that reduce skin flare up applied topically.

UNBOXING CARE PACKAGE DURING QUARANTINE

Hi beautiful,

How are you during this time?  It is going to be 28 days of social distancing over here in Malaysia.  Thank you for those that had asked on how I am doing during this time.  One of my parents passed away so I was trying to deal with all the expensive funeral and emotion thing.

Also I am really thankful to a friend that sent to me a care package during this time when I really need food items now.  Also thank you for the brands that sent me some beauty products during this time 😄.

Take care of yourself.   I do know it is hard especially with high unemployment rate in some countries and giving up so many things to stay indoor.  Hopefully it will be over soon.

10 TYPES OF ACNE TREATMENTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hi beautiful,


Acne is a skin condition that has been plaguing many of us. While there isn’t really a one shot vaccine that you can use to just stop acne in its track there are acne treatment available. You can find most of these treatments except for tretinoin and acutance in drugstore or pharmancies.

Here are 10 types of acne treatment for acne prone skin.

1.Retinoid

This is the strong stuff that is prescription in many countries.

The retinoids are forms that are related to vitamin A.  It is use in medicine since it regulates skin cell growth.

Retinol, vitamin A ester, Tretinoin, Tazorac, Adapalene are related to retinoid class.

Adapalene and retinol are available as drugstore skincare products.  Use only a pea size at night and use a sunscreen.

Not scientific proven that it is safe for pregnant mothers or breastfeeding mothers.
A study by U.S. government scientist (2012) suggests that retinyl palmitate may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions when applied in the presence of sunlight.

2. Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid is to calm inflammation and speed up skin turnover minus the pain of retinoid.  I haven't use the western strong version of it.  The one I am using is the Korean skincare products (Alivelab centella powder) which has centella asiatica in it as well.  Gentle and safe for pregnant mothers.  It is one of the acne treatment that is available but not much is talk about but it is a good acne treatment.

3. BHA (beta hydroxyl)

The common form is Salicylic Acid. Other forms- betaine salicylate or winter leaf extract are pretty weak.   It is fat soluble.  Recommended for deeper penetration( blackheads and pores problems).  BHA has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

There are many products with BHA in them or mix in drugstore.   The strongest BHA is 2% and it is recommend to not use more than once a day.  Also not recommended for those allergic to aspirin.

4.  AHA (alpha hydroxy acid)

AHAs are water-soluble acids. Common AHAs are glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric and mandelic.  Ahas helps with skin texture by removing the outer layer of skin so that newer skin will take the place.  It helps with red pigmentation of acne scars and even out the skin.  I do use mandelic acid 5% to 10% for everyday usage.  Glycolic is very much stronger than mandelic acid but it does not mean the stronger the better.

5.  PHA (gluconolactone)

PHA is a polyhydroxy acid.  It is a hydrating, gentle exfoliating ingredient which can also protecting skin from some of the damaging effects of UV radiation. It has the benefits of AHA but being very gentle than most exfoliating acid.  Then again I haven’t use much to talk about this but there are some people that broke out from PHA.

6.  Sulphur

An ingredient used since ancient time to treat skin condition.  Sulfur presents in all living things.  Sulfur has antibacterial effects against the bacteria that cause acne. It is also antifungal so it is also use for  malassezia folliculitis or pityrosporum folliculitis.  It helps treat skin conditions such as seborrhea dermatitis and acne.  It does smell bad to some people.

7.  Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl Peroxide is a drying agent to treat mild to moderate acne.  It is usually use with other acne treatment such as topical antibiotic to avoid antibiotic resistant.  On skin, benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and by causing the skin to dry.  Normally applied on where the acne spots are.  It is not for sensitive and dry skin type.  The strength of dryness depends on the percentage which are  2.5% , 5% and 10% .

I can’t use it though since each time I tried to introduce it, my face just go red and itch.

8.  Topical Antibiotic

Topical antibiotic helps to reduce inflammation and decrease the amount of blocked pores.
Common antibiotic are erythromycin and clindamycin.  These are available as solutions, lotions, gels, and saturated pads.    It is not recommended to use it alone for a prolong period of time since it can cause resistance.  Topical antibiotic is usually used together with benzoyl peroxide to reduce the chance of resistance.

9.  Birth Control
If you are female with hormonal acne.  Dermatologist can suggest you birth control that contain estrogen and progesterone to regulate hormone and prevent acne.  It takes about from few weeks to 2 to 3 months for visible improvement.  However, once you are not on it, your acne will come back for sure.

10.  Natural
Natural does not mean it is going to be gentle and does not mean that it is 100% safe for everyone.

Here are some common ones for treating acne are tea tree, neem, centella asiatica and mugwort.

-Tea tree oil is the most common one for treating acne.  If you are using the oil, please use only a drop and buffer it or mix it with your moisturiser. Applying the oil straight to your skin is going to cause your skin to burn.

neem

-Neem comes in either oil and the powdered form.  It is not for pregnant mothers.   The oil is from the seed stink&it is only for topical application.  The powder comes from leaves which I mix with toner and applied onto my skin. It doesn't burn but it won't look or smell pretty at night.  The capsules containing powder can also be digested as replacement for birth control pills.  Men can also take it.   The real fresh neem taste really bitter though if you can find it in your country.

-Centella asiatica is one of my favourite ingredients since it is really gentle and use as medicine to speed up healing.  It is called as gotu kola, cica or tiger grass.  If you have the fresh drink, drinking it everyday makes you have beautiful clear skin.  The drink is called Rau Mau in Vietnamese.

I tried drinking it without sugar and it is really bitter so I just like it just on my skin.  It helps to heal and reduce inflammation on your skin.

Mugwort is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.  It is gentle and helps to speed healing.  It does have a strong scent if you plan to eat it.

FOOD REVIEW ON TTL HUA DIAO CHINESE WINE CHICKEN NOODLE TAIWAN

Hi foodie,

One of the must try when you are travelling  is food.  Where is the fun if you don't try local food right?

I got this famous noodles from 7 Eleven in Taiwan.  This TTL Hua Diao Chinese Wine Chicken Noodle take the name from the Chinese drunken chicken dish.  This use Hua Diao (花雕) Chinese rice wine.

TTL Hua Diao Chinese Wine Chicken Noodle

TTL Hua Diao Chinese Wine Chicken Noodle

TTL is a company that is owned by the government of Taiwan and it is also known as Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation (臺灣菸酒公司 in Chinese). TTL started in  1898 as the local monopoly buy monopoly itself ended in 2002 when Taiwan joined the World Trade Organization. Now, TTL also produces other items such as crackers, dried fruits and many instant noodles.



Packaging- This one comes in paper noodles bowl with chopstick and simple easy to understand picture of the food. It has everything written in Chinese wording though.  So just make a guess work of real thing.

Inside: There are four sachets inside the noodles.  The paste sachet, the sauce pocuh which contains chicken breast inside, powder sachet and a white packet written with TTL and Chinese wording(the wine), .  It is hygienic and easy since you can just pour hot water into the packet and close it with the chopstick. Then a real meal is easily prepared.  The powder sachet contains goji berries, onions and powder.
The rice wine packet is the most expensive thing in this chicken noodle so don't throw away.  You only pour the rice wine packet after you finish cooking and when you want to serve it.


Review:  The noodles is thin type made of wheat flour noodles which is really nice and has the right texture.  It is neither too soft or too hard which is great.  The broth does smell nice with strong Chinese rice cooking wine.  The chicken is a bit dry since they use breast meat but it really tasted just like fresh cooked chicken.

It is not spicy at all and I do think that this TTL Hua Diao Chinese Wine Chicken Noodle is really nice.  I think it is sure one of the best instant noodles for those that can't eat spicy food and wanting something different.  However, if you are a super picker this is still not bad 😁

FOOD REVIEW: BULDAK SAMYANG HOT CHICKEN FLAVOUR RAMEN STEW TYPE

Hi foodies,

Today review is this Buldak Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Stew which I tried out of curiousity.

Samyang Foods, Inc. was established in 1961 produced Korea’s First Ramen in September 1963.  During that time, rice and mixed grains were scarce and so the efforts to overcome the food shortage created Samyang Ramen.

The Hot Chicken stir-fried noodles has become very popular in China.  The representative character is named Hochi.   Their other products are Samayang Ramen, Chacharoni, Kimchi Ramen, Sutah Ramen.  There are some only for export such as YUKGAEJANG 육개장, Samyang Cup Ramen (BEEF), Potato Ramen 감자라면 etc.

The Buldak Extra Spicy Roasted Chicken Ramen has a rating of about 8,000 Scoville Heat Units but it is not the most spicy so I thought this chicken flavor ramen should be okay.  This one is about 4400 SHU.

I mean my level of spiciness is just medium which is about tiki masala or tabasco at around 2,500 SHU or Sriracha at around 2,200 SHU since I just don't enjoy the sweating and feeling my tongue swell up bigger than the size they are.


Packaging: It comes inside a plastic packet written with English wording along with pictures on how to cook it so it is easy to understand.  It is certified Halal.  Inside there is the powder and the sauce.  As this is the stew type, only add in the sauce after done with the cooking.


Review: I was fooled by the look of it. I added all the sauce and powder and so I had instant regret 😭 .  Don't be like me, add in only a bit if you are fearful incase it is too spicy.  I had to choice but to proceed with eating it.  If you could see my face, tears swelling up on my eyes, sweating profusely, my lips and tongue swell up.  I ran over to the fridge and got some milk chocolate and instantly ate that up since I have yogurt or milk stuff.  I also proceed to eat bananas, rice and salted tofu to reduce the damage that it has on my stomach. My stomach hates me because I can feel the 'heat' from it.


Overall, Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Stew is not my type of noodles unless your tolerance of spiciness is high.  I think I will just stick to their mild version Kimchi flavour  which is available on Amazon from now on.  I prefer their mild version noodles better.

A DAY IN MY LIFE DURING WEEKENDS

Hi beauties,

I talked about a day in my life on my working days HERE so here is another one during my weekends which has more details on my off day.  I don't live in a fancy housing area so here is just some simple life that I have and do.

I enjoy my off day very much since I could relax and not worry about being late to work.  I have more time to sleep and don't have to stick to a particular schedule or be late to work.
The worries of being late to work is just stressful to me.

I also showed you what is inside my skincare closet. Sorry I ended it before I opened all the way of the door last time.  I am afraid of showing it actually. 😂

During weekends, I can just enjoy the moment of being able to live my life. Remember to always take time to recharge and have time for yourself.  Let me know if there are more things you will like to know about me.


The diffuser is actually from Kmall, a Korean site for online shopping back up by the Korean government.

No product review here.  However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.
