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!

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

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.

This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the brand has been releasing great products with stellar formulations lately! After the Rénergie Triple Serum success on me, the Rénergie HPN Cream really becomes the cherry on top 🍒

I’ve been using it for the past couple of months, day and night. It doesn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. The first thing that I noticed is the increase plumpness and firmness on the cheeks down - which is always a good sign in my book. As I go into my 30s, I do notice a decrease in hydration and slight loss of volume. So a product like this will always be appreciated. When I combine the Rénergie Triple Serum and HPN Cream together, I really get a dynamic duo. The brightening, even skin tone is more highlighted.

The texture may look quite thick from the outside, but after blending it into the skin, it has a nice balance of hydration and moisture while still manages to be quite lightweight. I apply a bit more during nighttime or finish off with a sleeping mask for enhanced moisture.

I also think it goes well with other products too, don’t really have to think about ingredients clashing, because it’s a friendly 👌🏼 If you’re like me nowadays and prefer for a quick routine yet still deliver experience and results, put this cream on your wishlist! Stat!

663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of t 663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of the grand launch of The Ultimate S Cream with the special display box.

I am obsessed with the design details. An homage to the historical Korean moon jar, representing the richness and wholesomeness of the moon itself. Clean cuts. Soft, smooth matte to the touch. 

Sulwhasoo’s recent rebranding possesses a look that marriage heritage and modernity. Cleaner facade yet still with shapes & lines of the bottles and jars that remind you of the old times. A representation of the brand’s philosophy in combining heritage, art and innovation.

I don’t like to play favorites, because I think I don’t like to play favorites, because I think every product that I like has its own merits and place in my routine. But, there are certain brands and products that I just keep getting back to. 

@sulwhasoo.indonesia is one of the few. The First Care Activating Serum is indeed the first product that I tell everyone to try if you want to dive into this brand. The 6th Gen indeed boasts newer technology, Sulwhasoo Master Complex™️. And for the first time, there’s Ginseng active in it! It cares for the skin’s inherent ability to renew and take care of itself. It really is a great booster serum!

Gentle Cleansing Foam - if you haven’t tried this, you should. I only need very little for each use, it lasts quite a really long time. If you need a first cleanser, pair it with Gentle Cleansing Oil too. Just like the name, they’re gentle and don’t strip my skin afterwards. The scent? Heavenly.

White Ginseng Radiance Mask - can be used as a facial scrub and mask at one go. The combination of herbals and soft particles soften the skin surface. It’s a type of mask that I will use while I’m showering, so I can wash it off altogether.

If you’re like me and you just want to swim yourself in a luxurious cream, Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream should be on the wishlist. I do think this help with “filling” the pockets of my skin, making it denser and firmer. Just apply and enjoy the experience, really! ☺️
