SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO REDUCE LARGE PORES?

SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO REDUCE LARGE PORES?


Actually I have been having writer blocks this few months. That is why you see me posting more of products reviews rather than giving tips on how I take care of my skin.

A reader asked me before about pore strips and how long does it take to work. So, why not I share with you how I actually clean pores and avoid them from enlarging. I am not paid for this so be ensured that I am honest and had personally tried these method myself. After all, if you are long readers of my blog, you would know how bad my skin was actually. I certainly did not run to the dermatologist or skin clinic for my fix.

While your pore is not like a door where it can close and open, you can actually keep the pores clean and not clogged up. If it is stuck with sebum and bacteria, then the oil can’t flow out of the skin and that the reason you have enlarged pores with sebum trapped inside. Clean pores will look smaller. While you may not want to go for drastic measures like getting medicine which comes with side effects(it can help to shrink the pores but there is risk with it) you can do home care but of course you would need to be hardworking and don’t expect miracle to happen in one night.



So, why not talk about the reason on why the pores enlarged. I experience those situations myself so I do know.



1.Genes
-so, do not blame your parents on it. You could still ‘fix’ it.


2.Weather
If you are living in places where summer is 365 days thing, you would probably have combination or oily skin. It is also the reason that you have enlarged pores while people in winter would have dry skin.



3.Spicy food/clogging food

Spicy food caused the skin to heat up and well bigger pores. I like spicy food but because my skin just can’t tolerate it, I can’t eat it for every meals. Sometimes, I just don’t know how to choose between my face and the food.

It gets worse if you are eating all those milk, sugar, processed food or cakes. Of course it taste good but if you eat it every day then do not blame that you pores are ‘angry’ and huge as well.

Your enlarged is because of sebum and the sebum is actually produce in your body so not eating those food will help to reduce the sebum in your pores.


4.Your skincare regime

You do not properly clean your face or using the wrong skincare products. I personally tried many cleaning method before and I just have to share this. I can’t tolerate foam cleanser. I don’t know why but my sensitive, acne prone and combination skin doesn't like foam cleanser! Although foam cleanser claim to clean the skin better, it just hurt my skin.

You would probably not agree with me but I find that my skin likes cleanser without foam.  I usually use gel type of cleanser.  Those that doesn't foam.



This is what I normally do to clean the pores:

Peeling gel (Currently using UGB peeling gel)

Gentle cleanser (A'kin or Cetaphil)

Clay mask or mud mask

Nose pack (Skinmiso)

Sheet mask/hydrogel/bio cellulose (look for calming ingredients-green tea, rice, snail, ginseng)

Serum (pore minimizing/calming/acne prone)

Emulsion/moisturizer (look for light texture and don't use too much)



The reason I like using those sheet mask is to cool the skin and calm the pores. You can get the same effect by just soaking the cotton pad in green tea and put it on the face or the DIY mask. I do that like every day because I can’t stand the heat which is 35 degree of Celsius here and my face literary burns even with sunblock on.

If I feel hot and can't apply mask, I will start with spraying mist (DIY green tea) since I can spray it like crazy. Korean will look for those minimising pore mist but well I know it is quite expensive so DIY will do as well.(just lesser effect)


I don’t use paper blotter because my face became oiler after using it. I just use tissues to dab the oil of my face. You can also just use mist on the face. It helps to cool the face.

So, the key thing to minimizing pores is to keep the pores clean, balance the oil production on the face (don’t clean it until the skin turn raw or red like Sahara) and cool down your face (make sure the face temperature is lower than your body).


So, I think that is all. If you have any question, just leave me a comment and I will try my best to answer them.



I am not a professional chemist or anything so what I said here is just my opinions and please be kind to me if there is any discrepancies found in my article.  After all, I haven't try 100% products in the world since there is so many coming out every second.

The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

WISHTREND HAUL-MY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE


Hi, it is already November and Christmas is coming soon along. November and December are good months for smart shopping as there will be lots of promotion and discounts. Yes, a reason to be broke during this time *hahaha*

Anyway, I went shopping at Wishtrend . Wishtrend  is an online Korea website based and they sell mostly the latest Korean skincare products. There is also makeup but not as much as skincare products.

I wanted to buy the C20 or used to be called OST vitamin C serum but since there are so many reviews on it already and it is not really for acne, I made another choice which are the Chica Y Chico Tota-S 3.0 and the Klairs rich moist soothing mask.
Here is the review

 WISHTREND HAUL-MY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
the famous red serum, elishacoy cc cream and elishacoy bb all in one cleanser
There are also samples that come with your purchase so I think it is good as it is useful to bring during travels. The samples are seasonal and depend on what you buy. So, you might not get the same samples six month later.




The shipping is okay since it comes from Korea and it is common to take 2 weeks to arrive in Malaysia. I know it is killing to wait for the products but if you are living in places where it is difficult to get Korean product, then shopping online would be only way to get it. I actually bought the products on 25 November 2014.  Wishtrend shipped out on 27 Nov and the parcel arrived on my door steps on 6 November 2014.  (10 days)

Some of the Korean products have not arrived here in Malaysia or even if they do, Wishtrend has better offer as some of the products are on huge discount and even after adding the shipping fee, it is still cheaper compare to buying from some online website in Malaysia. So, you would need to do some comparison or wait for their promotion or deals =) .

That’s all for today and have a great day ahead.

REVIEW ON VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK


I tried to search for reviews on this mask but well couldn't find one in English because I wanted to find out more about it before I actually try it on myself. Well, I couldn't find any so I decided to try it out on my face.

I managed to redeem the two packets of samples from HKC online mall. They do worldwide shipping on Korea products.
VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK
VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK
 Each packet is good for one time application so I get to try it twice for the effect =).

VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK
VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK

White clay mask is a mask with Amazonian white clay that helps minimize your pores, black heads, and removes dead skin cells.


WHAT IT DOES
Activated ingredients of formitopsis officinalis and white amazonia clay act like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers.  It also leaves a smooth complexion.


KEY INGREDIENTS
Formitopsis officinalis extract, coconut and palm oil, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, vitamin E, oat kernel extract


HOW TO USE
Apply generous amount into cleansed skin avoiding the eye and the lip area. Wait for about 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. You can also only apply on your nose area.

Full size: 150ml

VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK
VELIEVE WHITE CLAY MASK


The mask is grayish white and has a really soft texture because it is made from soft white clay. It doesn’t have any particular fragrance. It just has a faint earth smell like what normal clay would smell. The application is easy and you can apply a thick texture within a short time because of the texture and would not cling to our fingers.

I can feel the clay mask tightening my face and pulling my pores! The pores are well cleaned and the mask removed the excess oil on my mask without drying my face. I don't feel that my face is like a desert after using it.  So, if you have combination or oily skin, it is good to try clay mask like this. It can help remove the blackheads and clean up the pores.

For a better effect, you can follow with a sheet mask or bio cellulose mask.

That is all for today, have a great day ahead =)


Velieve White Clay Masque(150ml) at RM85 or USD27.  Made in Korea.  You could buy it from HKC online mall or from Memebox too (this doesn't ship to Malaysia).Product are samples from HKC online mall.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always..

SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO USE AMPOULE, ESSENCE AND SERUM


I am back with another skincare tips.  This time it is tips on how to use ampoule, essence and serum.

SKINCARE TIPS: HOW TO USE AMPOULE, ESSENCE AND SERUM





1. Normally, I will apply the ampoule, essence and serum on the back on the hands and then apply it with the finger tips.

2. It is best not to heat those ampoule, essence or serum with your palm or else all the benefits will be gone. Only use the ampoule, essence or serum on your palm if they are in oil form.

3. Besides, apply ampoule, essence and serum on your skin when it is still moist and not when it is too dry as it will be hard for the ingredients to penetrate inside.

4. Keep your ampoule, essence and serum on a dry and dark places to maximize their efficiency.

5.  It is good to apply serum after masking and then moisturiser to seal in the goodness of the mask.

6.  Ampoule, essence and serum are not to replace the moisturiser.

7.  Normally, we don't apply all ampoule, essence and serum all in one shot.  I am not a fan of 'too much' layering so apply one at a time.  If you really want too, then maybe apply them on alternate days.

8. Lastly, a few drops of ampoule, essence or serum is already enough for your application.  So, these products might be expensive but it can last longer than your cleanser or toner.



Hope my skincare tips are helpful in making your skincare products work better.


I am not a professional chemist or anything so what I said here is just my opinions and please do not be angry if the opinions or the trend here changes.

JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE
JAQUELINE BURCHELL ATB005 RIDE THE WAVE


The nail polish has a beautiful colour which is the pastel blue that I love. I like the name Ride the wave too because it reminds me of ocean which I love.

It doesn’t have any strong smell and dry very fast. The liquid is not watery but more in the medium type so it dry fast but of course not as fast as gelish type.

So, applications of the product are actually a breeze. The colour is not opaque on its own so one would need a white base for the colour to show itself or you would need a few applications to see the colour. I find that the colour are really vibrant as it has the ‘wet’ look even without topcoat. I didn’t apply the top coat on the photos.



I am not sure if this is available in Malaysia but you can find it in Singapore.


Not sure how much this retails. =(

Do go and check their website and Honeyz Cube facebook as they always have competition and free samples to redeem! They also have a shop and they sure give lots of free samples when you buy from them =).

Product are samples from Honeyz Cube where one earn points by just reviewing products or voting for products =).

I am sorry for some of the pictures as the writing is too small and light that it is actually hard to even see them in real life.

The box is really luxurious as it is printed with good quality papers. It is in burgundy colour with golden embossing and the design of ginseng. It is a lovely box and definitely appropriate as a gift.

The bottle has a cap that can close tightly and the bottle reminds me of milk shape which I love. The bottle is made of high grade plastic that is of beautiful burgundy colour.

UGB PEELING GEL
UGB PEELING GEL


Here is the peeling gel. It smells just so good! The peeling smell exactly like ginseng and using it is just like applying real ginseng goodness on your skin. I have to remind myself that is not for consumption purposes.


The peeling gel turns into water and disappeared until you can see the beads.  Depending on your skin, the size of the beads are quite different.  The peeling gel doesn't cause irritation on my skin or cause me redness.  It certainly does work because my face was sure less red as it calms down the skin too.  If you have watch Korean's beauty show, the dermatologist would recommend to do peeling to the skin to get of the acne or the called it trouble skin.




So, here is the results of using the peeling gel.

UGB PEELING GEL

notice the differences that my hands is brighter than the one without it =)


UGB PEELING GEL-KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS
effect after using the UGB peeling gel-I was shocked with the results

My skin is sure very soft and brighter after the peeling gel.  It makes application of products much easier after that.  Serum and essence get absorbed into my skin easier after using peeling gel.  

My skin is sure brighter too because dead cells are removed. The effect can last to one week if you are not exposed to the sun.  If you have sensitive or acne prone skin like me but can't tolerate AHA, BHA or retinol, then peeling gel for exfoliation is recommend.  One still has to exfoliate to get rid of those dead cells every week.  Peeling gel is much gentle for sensitive skin and acne prone skin like me.  

However, peeling gel is not a pore cleanser so it can't extract your blackheads.  It is just to remove all the accumulated dead cells and dirt  from your surface.  It can help to soften for easier removal of blackheads.


I recommend to use the peeling gel on dry skin > wash if off with cleanser> pore cleanser> mask (no exfoliation mask) > serum > moisturiser

Overall, it is product worth to get for own self maintenance at home.  A bottle can you very long.

Get their products at UGB outlets or their  Lycoz  official website .

REVIEW ON A'KIN SANDALWOOD&NEROLI PURE FACIAL CLEANSING GEL

I think it has been some time since I like a cleanser as much as this one. You can go HERE if you want to know what I normally use. Generally, foam cleanser doesn’t work that well with my skin so I usually have a separate cleanser for sensitive skin. Before I dwell into it, I have acne prone, sensitive and combination (normal on other area&oily on T-zone) skin that can’t handle foam cleansers because those are usually drying to my skin or cause me breakouts.

I was actually skeptical when I got this cleanser thinking that it won’t be that great or anything at all. It has the smell of sandalwood&neroli so if you like earthy scent, then this is great but if you don’t, then the smell disappeared fast so don’t need to think worry about the scent.

It has a simple bottle that one would just pass by and won’t even look at it. I guess the simplicity is what I do look most for cleanser consider most cleansers that I like has simple packaging. I am more interested in the content and if it really works.
A'KIN SANDALWOOD&NEROLI PURE FACIAL CLEANSING GEL

What piqued my interested is actually the texture of the cleanser. It is not watery but in form of transparent brownish gel. It doesn’t foam up much when I applied it to my skin. It feels like those cleansers than one get when going for facial. The softness and cleanliness that I get from one time of cleaning is just impeccable. My skin is so soft and clean that I would want to clean it again with this A’kin sandalwood&neroli pure cleanser.

It doesn’t cause me sensitivity. In fact, it helps to tone down my skin sensitivity. It also doesn’t dry my skin at all and my skin still feels like it has a balance of moisture even before applying moisturizer. It sure helps with the dryness if you are using lots of products for acne or pimples which are drying. A cleanser like this sure helps to prevent dryness without cause more blackheads or whiteheads.

A'KIN SANDALWOOD&NEROLI PURE FACIAL CLEANSING GEL

It does remove makeup if you use about 10minutes to go around your face in circles.  If you are one in a hurry, then I suggest that you use those makeup remover to remove all those stubborn makeup prior to using this cleanser.

Would I buy it again? Yes, I would need to stock up this up because it is very lovely. Every wash feels like I am having a facial. It is really worth it considering the size and one don’t need a lot to clean the face with.  Sound too good to be true? You would have to try it yourself to find out!

SKINCARE VIEWS: IS IT NECESSARY TO USE TONER?

IS IT NECESSARY TO USE TONER?


I think it has been a long battle between the two reasons. One side will say that is it is useless to use toner and it is just a waste of money while the other one said it is a must to use toner in the daily routine. I think there is truth to both sides of the stories.

This is my opinion on it.



Use a toner

  • You do not exfoliate your skin with scrubs, mask, vitamins or using any cleansing tools

  • Use toner to help preps skin because it moisturize the skin

  • You just need something for you to feel really clean

  • You are die hard follower of the Korean skincare steps



You do need toner

  • You are already using exfoliating agents-retinol, scrubs, peels, vitamin or those cleansing tools

  • You have sensitive skin that can’t take any friction

  • Too lazy to spend too much time on having too many steps in your skincare routine

  • Wanting to have money



There are humongous ranges of toner now to cater for all sort of skin. You could check this link HERE for different types of toner.

As to answer the question does using toner helps to have flawless skin? Again it is Yes and No. Yes, if you get the right toners for your skin type and no if your skin is already in the best condition so asking this toner to do it wonders is just impossible.

Again, it is an endless journey of searching for the ‘right’ toner as not every toners are the same and suits everybody. Toner is just one of the contributing to the flawless skin and it is not meant to be use alone.

Personally, the toner that I think that I like generally like are those with calming agents and also those essence types because it will make the skin bouncy.


Overall, having a good skincare routine is important.  Using or not using toner is just a part of it.


I am not a professional chemist or anything so what I said here is just my opinions and please do not be angry if the opinions or the trend here changes.

REVIEW ON A'KIN WHITE TEA&CORNFLOWER EYE DAY GEL


I am no longer 18 years old so I have to start with using eye creams because after all, our eyes are the place where it will first show the sign of ageing.  No one wants to look older than their real age and women would do anything to reverse or stop the ageing process.  Well, at least to prolong as long as possible.

Many had told me that I should start using eye cream once I hit 25 and that is what I have been doing for the past few years besides using other products.  Like other women out there, I have been searching for eye creams or eye serum that will suit my types of skin because generally eye cream are made creamier and heavier which I don't really like because it can form oil seeds.

So, currently I have been using a product from A’Kin and I love this eye cream very much because it is really awesome. Do read to see on why I love it very much.

Normal eye cream would be creamy and takes longer to absorb but not this one. Although it is really watery, it just get absorbed fast into my eyes leaving no trace of any greasy cream on my eyes. I thought that eye cream is going to get absorb slowly because I have oily eyes but no. Simply amazing.

There is very light smell of corn but the smell disappeared after application. It is also very cooling and helps my eyes to look brighter.  I haven't have any dark eyes circles when I am using this.  It sure reduce my puffiness too.

This is a eyes gel that will suits even those from 25 to 50 if you have issues for oily lids and are afraid of oil seeds.I love this and it is surely not expensive because it can last at least few months since you need only a pea size each time.
