Skincare Diary | PM Cleansing Routine

The first thing I want to do the moment I got home is to remove my makeup but I usually do some stuffs before shower so I use cleansing waters for that. I gotta admit that I've been obsessing with cleansing waters lately and bought bunch of different ones just to try them out. For the past 2 weeks, I've been using B-Lab I Am Sorry Just Cleansing: Cleansing Water for this purpose. This removes my full makeup so well and I do like the coconut smell.

Then I'll use Banila Co. Clean It Zero to really just remove all those gunks that been laying around my face all day or just sitting comfortably in my pores. This baby melts off all of my makeup. Waterproof or not. It's balmy texture turned to oily once you massage it onto your skin. I felt my skin so smooth and soft after rinsing it well.

As I got bunch of samples from LANEIGE, I've discovered the Multi Cleanser among them and been loving it since the first time I used it. It deep cleanses and brightens up but doesn't dry out my skin. Considering to buy a full-sized.

After I rinsed off everything, I finish off with toning my skin with Son&Park Beauty Water. This is just perfect for that last step in cleansing as even after all the 3 steps I usually gone through, I still see some dark pigments on my cotton pads as I swiped my face with them. Hopefully dead skin cells. There's only less than an inch of it left so I'm happy that I've repurchased my backups.

I guess that's all for tonight's cleansing routine, I'll catch you guys on the next one. Annyeong~

Skincare Diary | Morning Routine

I think I'm on a skincare diet these days as I've been using less than 10 skincare products in a single routine. Anyway, let's get on it!

Current morning cleanser, LANEIGE Brightening Sparkling Water Whipping Cleanser. As this contains AHA mixture of orange, lemon, bilberry, sugar cane and sugar maple, it's imperative to put on a strong physical sunscreen for the rest of the day.

Skincare Diary | Night Routine

I have been thinking to go back to my original intention of starting this blog i.e. to document my beauty journey so I came up with this "skincare diary" section where I'll be writing down my skincare routine of the day or night. It's like #OOTD whereas this will be #SCROTD? That's awkward. Let's just do #skincareroutineoftheday. Huh?

Anyway, let's get onto the tonight's routine.

For pre-cleanser, I'm still loving that Banila Co. Clean It Zero; a cleansing balm to remove my makeup. The scent is nice and it does remove all my makeup though it sometimes stings my eyes. T__T Onto the second cleanser, I just finished my THE FACE SHOP Chia Seed Fresh Cleansing Foam and currently using the travel-sized sister. Then, I use Son&Park Beauty Water as my last step. I've been loving it as it helps in getting  rid of my dead skin cells effectively thanks to its Willow Bark Extract and Papaya Fruit Water. I'm about to finish the 500ml jumbo bottle and will repurchase soon.

Beauty Haul | Innisfree World and Son&Park

As Innisfree have not yet opened a branch here in this East part of Malaysia, I decided to order some products from Innisfree Global instead. The price is indeed slightly higher compared to the store but I heard a rumour that the prices in the local store will be increased soon due to our current economy so I guess this is doable for now.

During the past month, I was actually looking for a night moisturiser and finally after finishing my sample sachets and deluxe sample tubs of anti-ageing moisturisers from different brands, the Orchid Enriched Cream came out as a winner hence I decided to get a full size of the product and I was lucky as the brand released a limited set for it. 

 

The set came in a minimally designed ivory tin case with deluxe samples of Green Tea First Serum, Orchid Skin (toner), Orchid Lotion, Green Tea Sleeping Pack and Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask. These minis are great for travel and also for those who wants to try other products from the brand but  to me, this set looks like it's being curated for someone who wants to give Korean skincare routine a quick 'test drive'. After using your own facial cleanser, use clay-based mask and wash it off after 15 to 20 minutes. Carry on with the rest of the routine by using first serum, toner, lotion and maybe add a sheet mask at essence step and then you can seal everything with that moisturiser or if you're feeling for something lighter, use sleeping mask.
