Hard time I have been through in finding a good skin care porducts


I am going to talk about how hard I’ve been gone through in my journey of skin care.

Just a while ago, after trying and trying to improve my skin condition for years, I concluded that:
No one can escape from aging, not even celebrity;
 To achieve a perfect skin and the only cost are: MONEY & EFFORT!

But just about one month ago, I NOTICED I WAS WRONG about what I thought and found a way out for me to higher level of beauty!! 
It wasn’t really about just money and effort if you got the right product!! :D :D


******
17 year-old: I was so dark then. Just using a simple face wash around RM10+, nothing else.
19 year-old: Still a RM10+ face wash, but I started to buy Garnier whitening cream costed RM20+. My skin became much brigher and fairer, and more people woo me. XD XD The 1st year of University, skin was still OK, just occasionally pimple-prone.


******
20 year-old: My skin condition had a big twist. Due to stress, pimples are all around my face. Face wash gives me even more oil, whitening cream at least still brighten my face and lighten scars, but it gives me more pimples as well. T^T

******
21 year-old: Until one day I walked into a pharmacy, a lady suggested me to take 3 good things which reversed my skin condition: Clinelle deep cleansing gel, Clindamycin gel and zinc tablet.
         Clinelle deep cleansing gel face wash has a 6-free secret (free from coloring, fragrance, lanolin, mineral oil, alcohol and comedogenic ingredient), so it is very suitable for oily and even sensitive skin, in fact, it is suitable for all skin types! It was so good for me at that time. I used 20cents size for one wash and it doesn’t dry my skin out, and it was not harsh at all if I repeatedly using it. No soap = No drying. I use to use repeatedly to let my skin feel skin!
        Clindamycin gel is a type of antibiotics gel, to kills the types of bacteria that is common found involve in pimples (acne). It was used as spot treatment on pimples. It worked just find for me A thick layer of it reduced a swollen big acne in a night!
        Zinc tablet to be eaten daily to help in wound healing. However I stopped it very soon as it was harsh on stomach and caused my vomit once.

******
22 ~25 year-old: A routine of Clinelle deep cleansing gel and Hada Labo tonner (~RM49), my skin was clearer, but my skin easily get redden after sun exposure. I tried some product which is well known for pimple prone & sensitive skin, such as Avene emulsion (RM90+ for 30g) and Vichy (not cheap also), but things did not work out. Pimples still came to visit me always. I ALWAYS HAD AT LEAST ONE TO TWO PIMPLE ON FACE. There was no way to get rid of them. And u know, I was poor during students time, so no way to spend more on my face. 

 

******
25 year-old: Finally I graduated and starting working! I got more money now. First thing I wanna change is my skin care routine! But I still didn’t start with expensive product. I just change to slightly higher price range which is still purchasable in Guardian or Watson. I started to buy skin care set which had good review, such as Clinelle set for oily skin, or Naruko tea tree set for blackhead-prone oily skin. I expected to have better result since I can really start a complete routine. It was around RM20+ to 40+ a bottle (Kind of forget). But they doesn’t work so well. I once thought they were so good on me, at least I was getting pimple-free, but it was just because I haven’t used a product which is better!


******
26 year old: So due to the seduction of the beauty package, and during the first trial of facial wash, they put a don’t-know-what magic solution on my half face wash and had given a quite surprising effect, so I also start to have routine monthly skin wash at a beauty centre which has many branches in Malaysia & Singapore, called Adeline. The package wasn’t cheap too.  RM2000 for 10 times facial wash, and free 1 wash & 1 tonner. 

After I started to use the free Adeline face wash & tonner, it worked so AMAZING! First time I feel the differences!! The simple one puff sized 10 cents enough for one wash which make u feel your skin is totally fresh and clean, but also hydrated! Not like Clinelle which I used to repeatedly use it to feel clean. A little goes a long way! 150ml enough for 5 months use! The tonner worked pretty good though. Clarifying and hydrating!

The price of them were high. RM240 for a 150ml Adeline wash, RM240 too for 150ml Adeline wash. 10% for member price only if you bought at least two product.

I started to so so agree that, MONEY IS DEFINITELY NEEDED TO HAVE GOOD SKIN! The more expensive the product is, the better your skin will be.

 So then later I tried some other of their product, one of it was a scar lighting gel 30g for RM368! However it made my pores worse!

******
Later, I watch a skin care video of my idol Michelle Phan about skin care and notice 


Basic Steps: 1.Cleanse 2. Treat 3.Tone 4.Nourish 5. Hydrate

TO ACHIEVE GOOD SKIN, YOU NEED EFFORT! 世上没有丑女人只有懒女人!Routine scrub and mask is a must. And not just wash and tonner. (which I used to do) Also don’t forgot serum and moisturiser. They are so so important because they play different roles.

******
End of 26 year-old:
          Then I started to be cautious in buying new product. Read more review and study! Then I thought I was kind of BRILIANT to purchase things with GOOD REVIEW and DOESN’T FAILED ME!
-          Laneige Water Sleeping Mask RM77 – had a good review everywhere! Middle price range for me, working good but only if you apply a thick layer on my face. Satisfied and will considering buying again.

-          Innisfree Clay Mask RM40 – Super cheap price!! To be used 2-3 times a week! Don’t be lazy! Mask is a must!

-     Tony Moly 96% galactomyses essence RM208 for 120m -  it was being called a dupe of SK II treatment essence, as it contain 90% of similar content as SKII treatment essence! However it did work out a little to clarifying my skin, but just a little.








       











  I had clay mask every 2-3 days, and paper mask weekly, also facial treatment monthly if I am able to attend the appointment. 


This was the time my skin considered OPTIMUM with all the EFFORT & MONEY and I HAPPILY TOOK THIS PHOTOS, thinking that it was already so good on me. It is at least:
Glowy
Hydrated
Clarified without new acne
               
               
     
        Women won't get satisfied because of this right? How come all the celebrity have beautiful skin? They are human too, no one can escape aging, just because they have a lot of money to do that, but I don;t have! 

          Last month, I was hesitating to spend RM450 just for a bottle of SK II treatment essence. I once used a tester bottle of it, I thought it was completely amazing, like my skin without a pore! But it is a huge cost of it!              
`
Until I found these…… J
*******

27 year-old: This set is called Blanc Detox set. They all are very gentle, containing Aloe Vera  is well known for soothing, very suitable for sensitive skin like me. The other ingredient is not cheap though! My friend who was a beauty consultant estimated a bottle of each to be at least RM200-300 worth per bottle according to its ingredient and I believed it! Coz none of the product I used before gave me this kind of result! Just in 90 minutes!

My face become so so so so firm instantly!
Look at the corner of my eye, mouth corner, face muscle, skin sagging region and eye bags! OMG!


                I think most effect came from Scrub (left on face for 15 mins) + Marine Mask (left on face for 45 mins). For showing effect in one time, the mask was pretty thick just for demonstration.
               
          I found these product when one day one of my husband’s friend came to my house and demo it on my half face! I kept tracing the result day-by-day. The effect last for around 4 days!

               
         After a week, I cannot tahan already! I just go and grabbed whole set!! I got a 35% off coz my husband purchased some other supplement for family previously, 8 big bottles of things costed only RM372 at my price! (At the same price as the useless 30g Scar lightening gel @@)





Now I have been using it for 3 weeks. Many of my friends said my skin is much firmer! Yoho!!!!!!!!


WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE PRODUCTS? HOW DO I USE THEM?

                They all contained stabilised aloe vera. “Stablized” means its aloe vera is kept so well that the lost of nutrient of aloe vera is minimised and it was tested to still retained near to 100% of nutrient after it was processed in bottle. This technique of stabilization is one of the copyright owned by the company. Aloe vera has medically showed a lot of effect, such as soothing, recovering, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antivirus, and they are also journal stated by doctor for its anticancer effect.

Eye make up remover (for eyes and face): For the first time, I used a water-based make up remover but yet so effective. Aloe vera contain natural soap, called Saponin, so as you shake the bottle and pinch out the content lightly on the cotton pad, and rub the cotton pad, you will see foam, then you can start to rub gently on your face to removed dirts and oil. If you are a skin care lover, u surely already know that make up remover is a must after work everyday even if u don’t wear make up!




           Scrub: Oh I love this! Coz it’s truly a daily scrub I ever encountered. Most facial scrub contain synthetic particles or crushed walnut shells to achieve scrubbing effect, they are too harsh and harmful to our skin. But this Aloe Scrub contains Jojoba seeds where Jojoba is naturally round in shape and you can safely rub it on your face everyday. It is not recommended to rub so much if you have a sensitive skin, but u still can apply and leave it to let the Jojoba seed to dissolve and release the oil contained inside. For me, I will use it after make up remover daily, and rub for just 1-2 minutes to break the Jojoba seeds, then leave it throughout my shower!

Marine Mask: This is the power weapon! Very tight to be felt on face! It also contain Vitamin A, C and E!! Once Taiwanese artist Lin Zhi Ling said, “I apply mask everyday, is not to have a good skin condition for next day; Is to let the passer-by on the roadside to see her as 25 year-old when she get 40.” Well said. So I will just take it easy, if I am relaxed and free at home, I will just take a 5 to 10 cent size, and apply and leave it on my face for 45 mins after rinsing. If you take mask so so important like Lin Zhi Ling, but don’t have time everyday, you can just take a thick layer (maybe 7 times of 5 cents sized) for weekly mask. (Don’t worry, it is not expensive) Because it is near to skin color, so it is not obvious when you put it on face.

Aloe bath gelee (face & body wash): Again it is also a little goes with a long way,. I only used a 5 cent (Malaysian coin) size for one time wash. 250ml a bottle, my friend say she can used 1 bottle for 1 year!!

                Aloe First: It’s a spray. For pH balance, blemished and scars. It is to be used First before tonner. There was a testimony  of a patient with diabetic ulcer which the patient has seen 3 specialist and all 3 specialist said No Choice but to Amputate the limb to Knee Level, and finally he met his last specialist, the specialist gives me some oral supplement and using this Aloe Bath Gelee & Aloe First spray, and finally the patient get cured!

                Tonner: Nothing much to comment, I just ‘cincai’ put on my face everyday XD XD (“Cincai” means with no rules and manners)

                Epiblanc: It is special coz it’s a whitening gel that u can put on eyes too!

                Gelly: Huh! This stuff, u can burn your finger and don’t feel pain if you apply this on your finger. To be true! Coz it is super duper hydrating and very good for burn! Kind of a waste I put this good stuff on face? No la. It’s not expensive. It also contain Vitamin A, C and E! Wahahahaha… Good stuff on my face…..
               
              P/S: Just if you have a very very dry skin, try applying scrub or mask by mixing with Aloe Vera Gelly, it help hydrating and eliminate the stinging sensation.

WHY ARE THEY SO CHEAP WHILE HAVING GOOD QUALITY??   

                Then you must check out the company background. Forever Living is a brand from United State since 1987, and now present in 163 countries. Forever Living is responsible for the biggest world supply of both aloe vera (92.5%) and bee products. They have own supplements, skin and hair care products and cosmetics. Some of the skin care product is even like Garnier’s price but SK II’s quality. The reason why it is comparatively cheap is because they have their own aloe vera field which its size as 3 Singapore, has its own factory and directly sell to the consumer without any other party. Today when you see any Forever Living “shop” at roadside, it doesn’t belong to any boss who take the profit from Forever Living and sell to end-consumer, all of them are not actuallu shop, they are just centre owned by Forever Living itself to supply the product to consumers. Even if u do see some of the product sold at pharmacy, it will be not higher than its standardised price worldwide. One more thing which is interesting is, today if you join as a member of Forever Living in Malaysia, and u walked into a Forever Living centre in Dubai, you still get member price. The membership is lifelong and is not limited by the boundaries of country.
