My Skin Journey: Making a Change


Hello everyone!

I feel terrible - my posts are not coming as frequently as I would like to. It's winter now so taking photos for the clothes I have ordered is a little harder, I'm scared I will freeze. But it will happen!

There will be a lot of reviews coming up since I've been holidays and worked a lot - and then went on a little shopping spree, whoops. But I was incredibly motivated to order new skincare products and try them out as soon as possible to see if they make a difference. I am writing this post to kind of introduce that idea onto this blog - that I will be trying lots new products and reviewing my progress. That way you will know what to expect.

I remember clearly sitting in History class in high school and had two girls complimented my skin, and how also, I've always dubbed my cheeks as those 'rosy red cheeks', without realizing how much care my skin actually needed. I am grateful for the skin I have, but I am now realising that skin change over time depending on how you treat it. With all the research I have done, I realize how much I now want to improve: my clogged  pores, managing my combination/sensitive skin (which is one of the worst skin types) and trying to solve the issue of my flushed cheeks, which I don't even know the condition of.

I mean, it doesn't hurt to try? Especially, since what I find to solve my problems, I can share that and help other who have the same problems.

So! I have decided to try different products and change my routine to see if I notice a difference, which will take time to see, but if I do, I want to share it in case it will help someone else!

Right now I am trying/going to try:

MIZON: All In One Snail Repair Cream



The Face Shop: Rice Water Cleansing Oil



Etude House: Wonder Pore Freshner Toner



SKINFOOD: Argan Oil Hair Treatment Mask this isn't skincare but I want to look after my hair too)



TONYMOLY: Pocket Bunny Moist Mist



SKINFOOD: Egg White Pore Foam



I am looking to try some charcoal/volcanic clay masks, some new moisturizers and essences. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know! But I wanted to write this post to make a star ton my skin journey~


Enjoy life!

Review: Cure Natural Aqua Gel/ ナチュラルアクアジェル


Hello everyone~

I have watched quite a few videos related to Korean and Japanese skincare products, and one that has incredibly positive reviews and feedback, is the Cure Natural Aqua Gel!

I have wanted to try this product for so long and see what exactly everyone is on about, and finally I did!

After all, a gel like product that you rub into your skin and the dead skin just comes off? Obviously I had to try it out and see.

When I looked at the bottle, I was a bit worried that I would use it up quickly, but a few pumps of it actually lasts for the whole face so I don't think it will run out anytime soon. That, and the fact that it's not good to vigorously exfoliate your skin everyday so I won't be using it every day, so that'll make it last longer as well.

One of the great things about this product is that, although I use a scrub every week to exfoliate, I find that scrubs don't work well with around the nostrils of my nose, if you know what I mean, the crevices. That area has always been a problem area for me and I could never properly scrub it - but this wonder did the trick! Since it's a gel, it obviously can easily get into every nook and cranny of your face, so my face was properly exfoliated! Yay!



Sorry if you didn't want to see a photo of my face with the skin, when I was looking through reviews, personally, I wanted to see photos.

I don't know how this product works, but it must be magic. It's very gentle and refreshing on the skin, which is great for an exfoliate, and did a great job in removing dead skin and smoothing out my skin. So far, my skin hasn't had any major break outs since using it as well.

I'm really happy with this purchase and I think I'll be using it in the future!




Have any of you tried this product? Do you know any other products that work well for the skin? Let me know!


Enjoy life!
Nina
