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!

Review: Tony Moly Black Sugar Face Mask/Scrub


Hello, peeps~


Recently, I have been very much into Korean and Japanese skincare and one of the products I saw used in Pony's Skincare and Make Up video was a sugar scrub to exfoliate! I got curious and did my research into reviews of the product and it was really positive, so I decided to try it out for myself! 


(not my picture)

Since I wasn't too experienced with scrubs, I didn't use it to it's full potential, where you scrub it into your skin and leave it for about ten or fifteen minutes. I just scrubbed and washed it off afterwards, which was a waste. I quickly learned from my mistake though.
After properly adding it into my routine, and I have to say, it made my nose feel much smoother and cleaner! The scrubs smells a little strange, but it's like the "you know it must be good for you if it smells strange" kind of strange~



I use it about once a week on Thursday which is my skin pampering night, since exfoliating is something that needs to be done, but not overdone! I get small portion on my finger, and, rub it into my nose first (since that's a major problem area of mine), and then spread it around my T zone. I have combination skin so using a scrub is too harsh for the rest of my face, I just clean the rest of my face and use a clay mask.

After about 10 or 15 minutes, I wash it off and continue with the rest of my routine.



My skin has smoothed out since I started exfoliation a few times a week and it helped clear up my break outs. It's important to exfoliate occasionally otherwise your skin will not absorb the products since dead skin builds up.

Finishing it off with a mask or some kind of moisturizer really helped my skin feel good afterwards!

Overall, I am quite happy with this product! It's benefited my oily skin and I haven't seen any negative effects so far!

Have any of you tried a product like this? How did it go for you? Do you have any other recommendations?
Enjoy life!
Nina
