The Good and The Forbidden

Bloody Scalp no more!

January 6, 2023

I had mentioned that during the pandemic, my sensitive scalp had gotten worse. Be it because of the stress or because I needed to adapt to the new lifestyle, which is staying at home. Maybe because I was also trying to save electrical bills by reducing air conditioner usage, I ended up sweating many times during the day.

Sweat means adding humidity, my scalp felt more itchy than usual and of course, it started to create even more bumps and blemishes. The obsessive scratching caused my scalp to bleed, again, but this time the evil cycle is more vicious.

Coming to the end of 2020, I got introduced to a local brand that had just launched its new sub-brand for the scalp and hair category. I was really excited when I saw the lineup and they ended up being my go-to scalp treatment to this date!

It was this bad…

Adding Davines For The Benefit of My Scalp

September 30, 2016

Determined for a healthier scalp and hair, I’m committed to make better choices in my hair treatment. I came across Davines first at Sociolla and then led me browsing around the brand’s website. Of course, being my luck (or lack there of), the ones that I wanted to try aren’t available locally.

So that was it, until my trip to Japan. I saw the products that caught my eye. I got the shampoo and it led me to other purchases as well.

Venturing Into THREE Scalp & Hair Treatment

April 25, 2016

So, if you haven’t read the story, I suggest you do that first. The post will explain a little bit about my condition and the struggle I’m in.

When I was in Japan not too long ago (see the skincare I brought with me), I made it a mission to find different hair products that might help me. I bought several items from one of my favorite Japanese brands, THREE. I went to the flagship store in Tokyo where I knew I’d get the full experience. The sales lady who served me was extremely kind. She tried to help me as much as she can despite the language barrier. She knew I was a foreigner and she offered me an iPad with THREE catalog in English for me to look at. That definitely saved time rather than me trying to search via my small-screened iPhone.

So I took her kind gesture by asking her several questions, using my best ability to convey. I scratched my head endlessly; an effort to show her that my scalp is itchy. She noted it and from there forward she can give her opinion whether the particular product I pointed out might suit me or not. Keyword: gesture. Those years in drama classes finally paid off.

I’ve been using these products ever since I got back to Jakarta (around 6 weeks now) and I’m ready to share my thoughts.

Let’s start with the first one.

My Scalp & Hair History

April 21, 2016

I have a lot of requests on how I take care of my hair. Well.. Truth is, I don’t.
Not necessarily at least.

Here’s a little background story. For the longest time, I knew I have sensitive scalp. I’ve tried quite a few different products in the past with a low success rate. The major fails for me were Pantene (sorry, I tried but you gave me massive dandruff with terrible itches every single time).

There were a lot of misunderstandings. I thought I had dandruff, so I went to use Head & Shoulders for a few years, even tried the different variety (the mint/menthol one was the best).  It worked fine until it didn’t anymore. So this is where I was starting to have a hard time.

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.

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! ☺️
