The Good and The Forbidden

Face Oil Virgin: Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant +

September 16, 2014

Now, let this be an advance notice that I am a beginner in the whole face oil territory. I’ve only started using face oil dutifully sometime earlier this year. I began interested in face oil after reading DesZell’s article about the Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+. Believe me, I still had that why-the-hell-do-I-want-to-put-oil-on-my-face look. But then, lucky strike came along and I got this at an auction for an extremely good price, or shall I say, cheap! I thought, hey, why not give this a chance.

I tried this a couple of times, three, max, and decided I didn’t like it. Or, more like I was confused about it. I feel it didn’t quite fit right into my still-raw skincare regime. And so, I left it on my vanity table for the longest time. That was in 2013. Not until I read the article again and by then my skincare regime had fully grown, I felt the need to give this another try.

Based on Trilogy’s website, Rosehip Antioxidant+ will help to improve the skin tone, add brightness and elasticity as well as firmness to the skin. That’s some big claim right there. And I’m here to prove it, so keep reading.

Alright, for this second try, I mixed the oil with Avène Thermal Spring Water. Just one spritz on my palm, add 4-5 drops of oil, rub them together between my hands and cup my hands on my face. Giving it good massage, making sure the oil is spread and absorbed evenly across my face then bringing it down to the neck and decolletage as well. Add another spritz on my palm, rub the hands together again and repeat. Last bit, another spritz, rub, and apply whatever is left to my hands and lower arms.

I’m aware that the instructions says 2-3 drops, but I didn’t feel it’s enough for my needs.

I use this at night time only, after my serum and as a moisturizer replacement. I did this straight for about two weeks and realizing that I don’t want to go back using my night cream anymore (but I had to because I have to finish it). It gives my skin enough hydration to last through the night while remains lightweight. I think adding Avène Thermal Spring Water to the oil and not to mention using a hydrating toner/lotion beforehand (I use SK-II Cellumination Mask-in Lotion) definitely contribute to boost the moisture level as well.

Why do I add water? My logic is this: oil floats on water. Water is water, the skin will eat it anyway. When I mix the oil and water together, the oil will seep easier into the skin and whatever is left will help to seal the moisture inside. Pretty simple, eh?

Now, I will say that the biggest change a product has made to my skin is none other than Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment. And I’ve only started to use this oil again in early 2014, and yes, on top of Good Genes too. On the days I don’t use Good Genes, I still use this oil on top of my other serums. And I will say Trilogy’s claims on making the skin tone more even, brightened, supple and firm is spot on.

I think the result is very gradual and before I know it, my skin has improved even better. I noticed this when I apply my makeup on. It refines the texture of my skin, making it softer and smoother. Fine lines are fading, oh yeah. This, to me, is a great all-rounder face oil. I can just use this in any skin condition, including during PMS or general stress from work. Actually, this helps calms my skin down. I don’t even have to think about it. Just slap it on and I know my skin will be thankful for it. Needless to say, I love it!

Now if only this is easier to get…

P.S. I didn’t know this oil is one of Miranda Kerr’s beauty secrets!

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Double Cleanse at night, a must!
Sunscreen at daytime, always – after moisturizer.

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

His & hers POV. His & hers POV.
It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the laun It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the launch of @jomalonelondon’s Blossoms Collection 2022, with Sardinian Summer as theme, right at the beachside 🧡 Warm weather, wind blowing swiftly and continuously, paired with greens, sparkling sand, clear blue sky and jeweled-colored sea. It’s picturesque.

For this collection, there are three, two new fragrances and one existing. They are Sea Daffodil, Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom. The notes are light, airy and flowing. Usually summer scents can be a little too strong on the citrus, tangy-acidic side, but these are put together that don’t make me feel heady.

I’m loving Sea Daffodil and it’s my number one pick from the collection. A mixture of Pink Pepper, Mandarin Orange as starters, Sea Daffodil and Ylang-Ylang as the heart, Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla and Vetiver to ground everything. Result? A smile-inducing scent. There’s this hint of sweet & creaminess that pulled me in right away. I close my eyes and I get the reference of that warm summer with the soft notes.

I’ll head down to the boutique soon to sniff Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom again. I have a feeling the latter might come home with me. It layers so effortlessly with Sea Daffodil and I can imagine it singing together with other scents too ♥️

Slide until the end 👀 I’ve always said the f Slide until the end 👀

I’ve always said the foundation of a healthy skin is hydration 💦 Gak perlu jauh2 dulu, fokus di hidrasi aja udah bisa bikin perubahan yg berarti. Basic skincare itu gak boleh dianggep remeh 👌🏼
 
Meet @blpskin Tremella Daily Hydrating Series! Dari namanya aja udah kebayang, Tremella - Daily - Hydrating. Tremella Fuciformis, atau yg kita kenal sebagai jamur kuping putih/snow fungus (sering kita makan di Peach Gum dessert) - ini jadi hero ingredient di produk2nya. As an alternative to Hyaluronic Acid, dia bisa menahan air 500x dari beratnya sendiri. Molekulnya juga lebih kecil dari lebih mudah diserap. Dia juga bisa kasi semacam lapisan film untuk membantu jaga skin barrier dan menahan kelembapan itu sendiri.
 
“Daily” di sini berarti these products are for everyday use! Straight-forward sekali! Cleanser - Toner - Serum - Moisturizer dengan fokus yang teramat jelas, hydration. Selain Tremella, tiap produk juga ada tambahan ingredient berbeda dengan tujuan masing2. Gak susah buat dimengerti, gak perlu pusing boleh mix ina-inu, gak ribet, tinggal pake aja 😄
 
Dari awal aku langsung suka sama cleanser-nya. Tipikal gentle cleanser yang aku approve, gak bikin ketarik. Toner-nya dengan tekstur air yang “gendut”, gak gampang hilang/menguap di kulit, langsung bikin lebih lembap. Serumnya sendiri bisa buat hydration booster atau di layer dengan serum lain with other targeted focus.
 
Untuk umurku sekarang yang udah mid 30s dan kondisi kulit yg semakin dehidrasi dan kering, the gel (cream) isn’t enough for my skin. I think the texture itself is great dan cocok buat humid weather. Pak D lagi suka pake ini sekarang. Kalo aku malah suka layer another heavier product on top biar lembapnya makin pol.
 
Menurutku @blpskin #TremellaDailyHydratingSeries ini bisa jadi pegangan buat yang baru mulai pake skincare; pre-teen, teenagers, early 20s. Yang belum ada kebutuhan khusus, pengennya maintain skin hydration and of course building the good habit 👌🏼
