How I Maintain A (Relatively) Acne-free Skin

September 18, 2018

Acne is such an intrusive, problematic issue for most people. I mean, who wants to have acne? No one, I’m quite sure!

I battled quite a horrific hormonal cystic acne when I hit 25, 6 years ago. I was really stressed out because they kept coming by the day. Painful? It sure was. It was an eye-opening moment for me that I needed to take better care of my skin. Not just simply washing my face every day and slap on a moisturizer, for the sake of it.

Fast forward today, I’ve learned a lot of things during my skincare journey. And it doesn’t stop there, because I keep coming across new knowledge every day, experiencing different things and in general, a better understanding of my skin and health. That’s why, the sharing will never end for me, hopefully.

In all honesty, writing this post kind of terrifies me a little. Part of me wants to share it, the other is scared of jinx-ing what I’ve been doing to get into this point where I can say that my skin is at its best shape at the moment. But, I can’t be selfish because I hope that whoever reads this can find an enlightenment, or two 🙂

Skin Dewi Hazelnut Cleansing Milk – A Game Changer

April 7, 2018

After the very fruitful 3-day Organic Skincare Workshop over at Skin Dewi last year, which you can read here, here and here, I got to try several of the skincare offerings. I kept hearing about this particular product being one of the best sellers during the workshop (thanks, Steven!). Naturally, I was intrigued because apparently, this product isn’t what I thought it was.

Skin Dewi Hazelnut Cleansing Milk* is the one product that changes the way I think about cleansing and how it can make such a huge difference to the skin. Curious? Read on.

Wedding Souvenir – Handmade Soap Bars

January 11, 2018

Ever since from the beginning, I’ve wanted to make the wedding souvenirs on our own. With a fairly small the number of guests, I thought it’s still manageable. I wanted something that is personalized and ultimately, usable and functional. Of course, it needed to be able to be DIY-ed.

There were quite a few options. I thought about making scented candles with dried flowers. Or having a small cactus plant for each of the guests. But it ended up being a no-go because some of our guests will be flying from out of town. We didn’t want the souvenir to be a hassle for them to carry around, with the risk of breaking and all that.

So, something that is not fragile, durable enough, and doesn’t take up space. Handmade soap bars.

Skin Dewi Organic Skincare Workshop – The Euphoria

August 24, 2017

The whole loot; all formulated and blended by us!

Ah. The memory is still clear to me. Three months ago, I joined Skin Dewi Organic Skincare Workshop. Not wanting to have any expectations, actually leaving me home with all the priceless experience and new knowledge. The workshop made me feel like I’m still in the same world but in a different dimension. Stepping into a whole new level. Refreshing and stimulating, yet still familiar.

Have you read these posts? You should. They will fill you in.

Skin Dewi Organic Skincare Workshop – Connecting The Dots

June 2, 2017

I can’t tell you enough there were butterflies in my stomach that Wednesday morning. It oddly reminded me of day one at a new school. These little jitters. New environment. Meeting new faces. I kept telling myself “you’ll be fine, you’ll be alright”. One thing for sure though, I can’t wait for the class to start.

It’s worth noting that I intentionally didn’t read the Skin Dewi workshop module beforehand. I didn’t know the details of what we’re going to do in the next 3 days. All I knew that it’s going to be about organic skincare formulation. It was a deliberate and wise decision on my end because I wanted to start with a clean slate. No prejudgments. I didn’t want to fill my head with certain expectations or assumptions. Coming in with an open mind had indeed served me well throughout the course.

I am actually conflicted whether or not I should tell you what we did in the workshop. I feel like I might be giving you too many spoilers. But I’ll throw breadcrumbs here and there 😉

Skin Dewi Organic Skincare Workshop – The Before

May 27, 2017

Not too long ago, I was beginning to feel that my routine (in general) has started to get stagnant and it tickles me slowly but surely. Work is consuming my mental health more than ever (FYI, The Fruit Compote is my channel to de-stress). Beauty world-wise, I’m, as always, ecstatic that I’m discovering more and more new brands with different perspectives and approaches coming into the market. I’m delighted that even more local brands are popping out one after another, though I have some reservations about the redundancy in terms of product offerings. Regardless, full support here for the effort. But some days, it seemingly feels like it’s just another day at work, so to say.

It’s not that I’m not thankful or excited about the launches. Believe me, I do, most likely more than ordinary consumers. I would still have lemmings and wishlist here and there. But I don’t think I can escape this little knock in my consciousness, not for any longer. In the back of my mind, it started to dawn on me that no matter what it is, the level of suspense is more or less the same. Some highs and some lows. And that’s pretty much it. I almost have seen it before. However, let me get this straight. It’s not the offerings, it’s me.

I need a refreshment. A change.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

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

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.

With no less than 10 olfactory categories, it can With no less than 10 olfactory categories, it can be quite daunting in picking which @bonparfumeur_id scent that will suit you.

Thankfully, I do find it quite easy to follow journey and explore the fragrances. Many of the scents are easily loved, yet they don’t feel that mass either. Some of them are light enough to be combined with each other.

It’s also convenient that each scent is available in 3 sizes: 2.5 ml, 30 ml and 100 ml.

Do you have a favorite from this brand?
