SKINCARE TIPS FOR MASK ACNE

Hi beautiful people,

With this worldwide problem we are having, it is a daily thing to wear mask for the safety of your health.  This also creates the irritation of the skin called maskne or acne caused by the build up of humidity inside the mask. 

Here are some skincare tips for mask acne

Types of masks

There are many types of mask around.  Althought it is more comfortable to wear cloth mask, it isn't really safe compare to the medical or N95.

Change your mask every 2hours. Most mask reach the capacity so unless you wear halzmat suit or those kind that is non disposable then try changing it.

Reduce humidity

Most of the time, sweat, hot and humidity cause acne or fungal to build up.

So if you are constantly sweating or feel hot inside, try this tip. Use a panty liner and stick it at the mask.  The mask will soak up the sweat. You can use the one from Daiso made for armpit. It will prevent humidity and sweat inside your mask.



Anti inflammatory skincare products

Anti inflammatory products reduce inflammation of the skin.  My favourite are neem power, mugwort,heartleaf and tea tree.  You can also look into skincare ingredients containing centella asiatica, echinacea, propolis, bha, mandelic acid, turmeric, ginger and hortunia cordata.


Have a healthy lifestyle
This is a no brainer but having a good lifestyle do increase the skin health and your overall complexison.  Eat balance meal and also drink some antiflammatory tea. Green tea, hibiscus tea, ginger tea, dokukami helps to reduce inflammation and protect your immune system. Eat fishes that contain good protein that are needed for healthy cells buildup.


Clean your face and moisturise
Wash with a gentle cleanser whenever you came back from outside and everytime you change your mask.  Some recommend to spray with alcohol or sanitizer but I just don't like reuse dirty mask with my saliva.  If you are using reusable mask, then wash it the mask and clean it before you use it again.

Packaging: It has a beautiful matte packaging with green tea illustration on it.  At the packaging, one can recycle into origami bird which is really nice.  Everything is written with Japanese. There are 13mini size kit kat inside.

Ingredients:  Sorry I can't read Japanese so can't talk about what is inside this green tea Kit Kat.

Texture: It is wafer kind of biscuit.  Uji matcha green tea is used for this sweet matcha green tea.  There are 3 green tea Kit Kat varities  (Sweet Matcha Grean Tea, Matcha Green Tea, Sweet Dark Matcha Green Tea).  Sweet Matcha has light scent of green tea and there isn't any bitterness in it.  It is slightly less sweet than the one we have in Malaysia but it is still pretty good.

I am sorry for the not pretty look since it melted a bit because of my super hot weather.

Overall: I love green tea and this Nestle Kit kat mini sweet matcha green tea.  It is good to eat it with plain tea that does not contain sugar.

REVIEW ON KOREAN JINRO CHAMISUL SOJU FRESH

Hi beautiful people,

Popular Kpop star, IU model for Jinro Soju for 2020.  In 2019, it was Irene from Red Velvet.

Jinro is the largest manufacturer of soju of 97% spirits sold in South Korea since 1924.  Traditonal soju is an alcoholic drink made from rice, wheat or barley while modern soju uses starches such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Today I am going to review Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh.

Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh

Jinro Chamisul and with hangover prevention pill

The history of alcoholic drinks comes from the distillation method developed by alchemists in Arabia during the 10th century.  Mongolians introduced Soju in late Goryeo to Korea.  In the 19th century, continuous distillation process was invented and so is the first alcoholic beverage plant.

Packaging: Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh is filtered four times through bamboo charcoal carefully selected from environmentally clean regions in Korea.  This is one of the best original flavor of soju - Chamisul Original.  It comes in a glass transparent of bottle of 360ml, 200ml, 400 ml, 500ml, 640ml and 1800 ml.

No sure it is available in other countries but heard that it has temperature sensitive paper that turns blue once it is cold.  The curved label is in the shape of dew.

Soju is usually served at 8 to 10℃ and not frozen.

*Soju stored from the refrigerator is usually at temperature of 4 - 5℃.  

When you pour it to the serving glass it is usually 8 - 10℃.

Ingredients talk: 

The ingredients inside this bottle are water, rice and fructose.

참이슬 means "real dew".
Jinro use Finnish fructose, which is called ‘healthy sugar’ and is a plant-based sweetener.

The alcohol content is 17.2% which is quite high so one can get drunk if you drink a lot.  Also since it is a simple alcohol it can be used in mixer of cocktails or food with alcohol content.

Texture&scent :  It does look like clear water with scent of alcohol.  The nearest I can describe is the lighter version of dry Vodka.  It does have slight bitter after taste.  As none of my family could finish the whole bottle of 360ml, it is used in cooking now . To people that can drink it is like water.  It also the same scent as the Chinese cooking wine.

Review: It depends on individual preference of alcohol. As I am aging, my taste of drinks and alcohol changed too.  It is a pretty nice social drink if you are into higher alcohol or the scent of vodka or as mixed drinks.

Overall: Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh is for someone just looking to try out Korean alcohol as Soju.

There is a hangover pill that you can check it out HERE if you are interested to look into something to protect your liver and just to reduce the severity of drinking too much alcohol in your system.

Pyungkang Yul Essence Toner

Pyungkang Yul Essence Toner is made with 90% Astragalus Membranaceus extract to moisturize and protect the skin. It also helps with cell regeneration, smoothing out uneven textures for a healthier complexion.

How to use:
After cleansing your skin, gently pat an even layer of Pyunkang yul Essence Toner on your face and neck.

- Rich nutrition contained in‘Isoflavonoid’in Astragalus Membranaceus Extract instead of purified water helps regenerate and protect the skin.

2. Highly concentrated essence
- Viscous and highly concentrated toner is rapidly absorbed into your skin, leaving it moist and soft.

3. Moisturizing layer
- For easily dried skin, let it be absorbed 3~5 times to help remove inner dryness and make moist skin all day long.

Purpose: It revitalizes dull and dry skin and enhances skin protection resulting in effective and healthy skincare.

Packaging: The dark blue plastic bottle is really aestheticly pleasing.  It is also easy to pour out the toner since the opening is just the right size.


Ingredients talk:
Ingredients:
Astragalus Membranaceus Extract, 1,2-Hexandiol, Butylene Glycol, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Carbomer, Arginine

Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone free and fungal-acne safe (malassezia).

Arginine is antioxidant that increase skin hydration and protect skin.

Still do an allergy test at a small part of your face (ex, at your jaw) before you put it on your face since there are some people that mentioned they have allergies with the ingredients of this toner.  Also there are some people such as pregnant, nursing mother, transplant recipient, autoimmune disease and young children should not use it.

Texture and Scent: To me, it smells of slight sweet herbal.  It is very thin like water with very slight viscosity and absorbs fast into my skin with just patting.

Review:  I have been using it for more than a month as a hydrating toner.  It doesn't irritate my skin and calms my skin redness.  I find it useful to keep me hydrated when I layer it 3times during the day since I am living where humidity is at 92% at all times.  I pat it on my face without cotton pad.  

Using it alone as moisturiser at night isn't enough for my combination skin.

It doesn't cause me fungal acne or clogged my skin.

Overall: It is a great hydrating toner.  Unless you are allergic to Astragalus Membranaceus or

pregnant, nursing mother, transplant recipient, have autoimmune disease and young children.this is a good hydrating toner even for acne prone skin.

Kstyles is a Korean startup that produces content that is fun to help foreigners to learn Korean easily and having fun while doing it.

There are visualised short story videos with 5 to 7 languages subtitles.  400 Korean Word books, 1 to 1 Korean tutoring and useful apps for learning Korean language and culture.

Packaging: Good paper materials that is not easily tore apart.  It is full coloured with photos to accompanied the Hangul words.  The cover page is simple but really pretty and showcase Korean unique features.

The wording is clear and easy for me to read.  It has categories such as family, numbers, personal pronouns, taste,drink, food, weather, direction, date, colour, greetings, meal, action etc.

Price: Affordable at 9000 Won (USD7.55)

Review: It is a great book for beginners in learning Hangul.  The words are everyday words that one will need to use such as numbers and daily greetings.  The words that accompanied it is clear and simple.
