The Good and The Forbidden

THREE Balancing Cleansing Oil and Foam – Clean and Relaxing

July 1, 2015

I can’t, for the life of me, going to bed without having some kind of skincare ritual, even if it’s something as simple as cleansing. Double cleansing. I think it’s just embedded in me now.

A healthy complexion starts with proper cleansing. Once I realized the good difference a double-cleansing can do to my skin, I never looked back. It is simply crucial because it’s not just about getting a clean face, but the skincare that we applied afterwards will absorb better.

Meet my new favorite double cleansing duo: THREE Balancing Cleansing Oil and Balancing Foam.

Diptyque For The Face – Sensory Sophistication

June 29, 2015

diptyque is known for their luxurious, fancy scented candles and fragrances. I’m not really into them because I find them (the candles) to be too high of a maintenance for me. Besides, from what I’ve seen so far, a lot of people buy them for the decorative quality of it. You know, for the extra likes in the Instagram photo. Not for the actual lit action. Sure, I can re-use the glass container for my makeup brushes. But I just think that’s not enough to justify the purchase.

That being said, I am interested in the skincare line, L’Art du Soin (for the Face), which I wrote about my interest in them sometime ago here. To my surprise, they are available locally in The Papilion Duo, Pacific Place, Jakarta. Sadly, the mark-up was a little too much for me.

I knew, however, that I can get them in Hong Kong, in Joyce Beauty to be exact.
That’s where I got them.

Sunday Riley Charisma Crème Cleanser – Softening & Calming

January 29, 2015

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while. I kept pushing it back, not because I couldn’t find the right words (OK, maybe I did have a wee bit of hard time), but more over, it’s because I’ve been enjoying this cleanser a LOT. By “a lot” means, I’m this close of finishing it up!

It is no secret that I love Sunday Riley skincare products. I would gladly try all of her products because I know they work, at least the ones that I’ve tried.

Shiseido Ibuki Gentle and Purifying Cleansers – Good Basics

October 13, 2014

A while ago, I was looking for a face cleanser, yeah, like I need another one. I was looking for something simple, no fuss-type of cleanser. Shiseido Ibuki came to mind. I’ve been wanting to try this line for quite some time anyway. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect when that day I received an invitation to a Shiseido bazaar. The sale offered a very good deal, all products were all for 25% off, makeup and skincare. And 40% off for discontinued products. I honestly didn’t expect to see the Ibuki line over there, considering it’s still fairly new in town.

But whaddya know, they were there. I was this close to go unrestrained and buy so many different things. But, I was there for one thing only. Well, OK, I ended with two: Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser and Ibuki Purifying Cleanser.

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?
