My Skincare Regime

Alohaa.. Today I'm gonna write about my current skincare regime. Although I rarely do full make-up but I always cleanse my face double, it's because I always apply sunblock/sunscreen. Due to let my face 'breathing' so I have to clean my face before go to sleep.
Recently I'm using skincare from SK-II (mostly)
From left to right :
Muji Sensitive Cleansing Oil
SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist
SK-II Aura Essence
SK-II Cellumination Day Surge UV SPF 30 

 
After work I always cleanse my face from (light) make-up and sunscreen with Muji Sensitive Cleansing Oil. Frankly, I prefer Muji Mild Cleansing Oil. Muji Sensitive has thicker texture than Muji Mild. Both don't have any smell and give the same result : squeaky clean! ^^
SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser has nice white pearly tube packaging. This cleanser has rosy fragrance, which I like. I just need small amount, blend with water to create foamy lather.
 It cleanses and refreshes my skin very well without leaving it feeling tight and uncomfortable.
 
Well, this is my HG pre-essence : SK-II Facial Treatment Essence aka FTE. I always have back-up :LOL: I could use it for pre-essence, drop onto mask sheet and use it for weekly booster, pour in glass bottle spray to refresh my face anytime I want. As pre-essence, I like to apply FTE with Selection Round Facial Cotton. This cotton is quite solid. I always tear the cotton into 2, so I could use 1 in the morning and 1 at night ^o^ 

No, I don't use it together. When I was pregnant, I won't use any whitening skincare. So I have to change

SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist to SK-II Aura Essence.

SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist have whitening effect. I apply it on my dark spots - all over my face - and dab on my dark spots again. I don't see any improvement with my dark spots but It really works improve my complexion.
SK-II Aura Essence have brightening effect. It has milky pearl (fine shimmer) liquid but don't make your face look shimmery. I love to apply it while I'm pregnant because my face looks fresh.

 And the end of my skincare regime is sunscreen. I like glowy effect that SK-II Cellumination Day Surge UV SPF 30 give. I feel my skin tight and firm. The texture is thick, you have to warm it first (I warm it with my three fingers) then apply with swipe gesture on your face.

I bought SK-II products at Sogo or Metro. Or you could buy them at Sociolla for discount price

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturizer & Instant Glow Enhancer

Femaledaily invited me to attend Forum Group Discussion The Body Shop at Community Center Femaledaily HQ Kemang. I thought topic will be discuss only about Vitamin C range from The Body Shop, but we may share all skin care regime from all brand and we could talk about what we like or dislike from The Body Shop products and service. At the end of the event, we all got Goodie Bag (Yes, We loovvee goodie bag ^^) and tadaaaaa.. Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturizer & Instant Glow Enhancer.. Let's scroll ;D
The packaging is simple and sleek orange-black. Left : Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturizer 49gr, Right : Instant Glow Enhancer 25ml.
Both have same writing : "Dull, Tired, Grumpy Skin"
When I saw "grumpy" I suddenly remember grumpy dwarf from Snow White Movie :LOL:
I will review The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturizer first. I apply it every morning after shower.
  
This moisturizer don't have lid or aluminium seal inside, that's fine for me at least the cap is air-tight.
I have to admit that I really like this gel texture. It's so runny. Trust me, you have to apply small amount and it goes a long way, fresh orange scent, easy to absorb, may apply day and night after shower, I got Instant brightening effect after that *love it*. 

Next, The Body Shop Vitamin C Instant Glow Enhancer. This is Primer. I apply this one after my skin care routine & before make up.

 
It has aluminium seal. When I squeeze the tube, here goes the cream. Yes, the texture is creamy with orange color. The Brand Manager from The Body Shop says this orange color gives you instant brightening effect. I like scent of moisturizer better than this primer. Since I have dry skin, I don't know weather this primer good at oil control or not.
This is my first experience with The Body Shop Vitamin C range and It's not bad at all. I interested with other product from Vitamin C range : Microdermabrasion and Eye Duo. Maybe next time I will try..

Packaging : 3 from 5
Quality : 4 from 5
Overall : 4 from 5
Price : 419.000/49gr and 359.000/25ml
Repurchase? Maybe
