Skin analysis or diagnostic is crucial to determine the type of skin we have and the type of skincare products our skin need. Almost all major counter skincare brand have their own skin analysis device. And recently Biotherm Malaysia launches a brand new device called the Blue Smart. It is a hand-held gadget but powerful digital device that changes and revolutionize skin analysis.
Let’s be frank here. I am not a tea person. I love my coffee. Tea? Well, I am okay with a cup or two once in a while when I am not feeling well but I would prefer to hold a coffee mug. I took the plunge (sacrifice coffee for tea) and invested in SkinnyMint TeaTox. It is one of the tea detox thingamajig that took the world by storm overnight from various skinny model endorsement. You know what? That SkinnyMint review of mine remains the top most read post in Street Love to date because IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME lol! Fast forward to today, I am much more healthier and fitter to go on any detox program especially another teatox. We have all heard about teatox but have you heard about workout tea? No? Me either!
Wanna know a secret? When Scholl launched the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File a year or two ago, I was so intrigued that I kept watching Youtube video on how to use it. It’s therapeudic 😛 . The most interesting video I watched is from BeautyQQ. That little machine worked so well on her and her mum! Then last year, Scholl released a Limited Edition Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Foot File in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I screamed. Pink is my favourite colour 🙂
Having a smaller, V-shape face is every Asian girl’s dream. Not just slimmer face but a shaper feature, bigger eyes, and fairer complexion too. We just want what we don’t have 😉 . Typically, Asian women has more and larger face pocket compared to Caucasian. Don’t ask me why. I want to know why too LOL. I started my Clarins journey because I was under Hyperthyroidism medication and the meds gave me extreme water retention which resulted in puffiness. A client of mine told me she uses Clarins Shaping Facial Lift and the rest is history. I purchased and repurchased over 30 bottles to date. So when it comes to combating puffiness and to give Asian women a smaller face, Clarins is the expert.
It always excite me when there is a new whitening skincare range. It excites me more when Murad launched one. Murad, is one of the most effective high-performance skincare brand I have used.
Murad White Brilliance, a brand new range within the brand was developed using Porcelain Flower Extract to illuminate the skin and evening skin tone for a porcelain-smooth appearance. This flower is a native blossom to Asia, known for its high content of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories. The name came about from the bloom’s pure white color and crystalline texture to mimic fine porcelain and luminescent finish. The range also infused with moisturizing, reparative, purifying benefits, rich source of phytonutrients such as anti-inflammatory phytosterols, terpenes, flavonoid antioxidants, and Essential Fatty Acids. With these ingredients, this makes the range suitable for normal to even dry skin and sensitive skin users.
What I like about this range besides being a whitening range is the ultra simple steps. There are just four products – Cleansing Cream, Luminous Essence, Porcelain Serum, and Luminous Shield SPF50 PA++++.
Cleansing Cream (RM228 / 135ml)
The gentle foaming cleanser purify the skin by utilizing a blend of Omega-6 Essential Lipids and Jojoba-derived Esters to enhance moisture retention.
Luminous Shield SPF50 | PA+++ (RM398 / 50ml)
This is an ultra-light UV sunscreen lotion to shield skin’s rosy glow using Grape Seed Extract, an antioxidant rich ingredient. It has light-diffusing microspheres to fill in lines and wrinkles for less visible appearance.
Porcelain Serum (RM538 / 30ml)
The star product of the range is this Porcelain Serum. It is a high-potency powerful serum to enhance skin translucence using four brightening technologies. Porcelain Flower Extract evens and illuminates the skin tone, Green Tea Extract to further promote skin brightness and firmness while Hexylresorcinol (try saying this 3 times) and Hexapeptide-2 deliver a radiant translucent complexion together.
Luminous Essence (RM368 / 50ml)
A quick-absorbing and lightweight serum that works by delivering all the essential hydration to the skin deep using electrolyte-rich Kunai Root. It also has Red Algae and Indian Fig Extracts to exfoliate and restore youthful texture and luminosity.
