Shu Uemura Skin Purifier

Finally! Got my Shu Uemura cleansing oil, wondering what so big deal about it? Coz Ipoh does not have Shu Uemura outlet! Big thanks to a friend who brought it back from Taiwan as it's cheaper than local! (kiasu person here :P)

2 x 150ml for the price of RM130! Yes , no kid! It's RM130 for 2 bottles at 150ml per bottle! More like buy 1 free 1, heh!

Again, my skin suffer from dehydration once I shifted back to hometown. Prolly due to the different air condition or water or temperature, whatever causes it is and most importantly am sleeping in an air condition room! Been so hard working on my daily rescuer Hada Labo and Laneige sleeping mask, it does help but there are still skin peeling on the nose area.

What's the difference between this two cleansing oil?
Green bottle-> Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O with green tea extract containing catechin, known for anti-oxidant properties, to revitalize dullness skin and help restore radiance. It has a light green tea aroma, not too heavy and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Pink bottle-> High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh contains cherry extract to remove excess dead skin cells and help tighten pores. Highly recommended for oily skin. Still, it is suitable for all skin types.

Start using both of the cleansing oil, yes both! I use the green one at night and the pink one in the morning.

Why? It's because the pink one is more recommended for oily skin, although it is for all skin types. As we applied skin care stuff on our skin in the night and go to bed, the next morning your skin will feel oily, it is the oil sebum or the skin care stuff applied, etc. So, use the High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh to cleans it before your cleanser. While at night, you use the Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O as it has green tea extract with anti-oxidant to help restore your skin radiance after a long-day.

After 1 week of usage, manage to shoo away my skin peeling problem and tighten the pores! (I've got large pores bothering me for years!) And yay! I will continue use it every day and night regardless am with make ups or not.

My "SEACRET" to Beautiful Skin

A lot of friends has been saying I have smooth radiant looking skin, asking how I did that *self-praise? puked*. It's been years of listening to that but I still being very persistent that I do not have any great skin at all! Probably am a picky person and quibbled alot, dissatisfying with what I have in life. Recently, probably due to my not-so-healthy lifestyle, I suffered from a severe dehydration! Luckily I have SEACRET with me *grin*.

Anyway, let's talk about how I get/maintain my skin in good condition! 

Voila! My SEACRET to beautiful looking skin! 

This is a body lotion from Seacret with minerals from the dead sea.It is actually a souvenir gift from Mom,bought from Australia. I am using the Rimon(Pomegranate) body lotion which suits all skin types. 

What is Pomegranate?

A pomegranate is the fruit of a bush native to the Middle East region, although it is also grown commercially in California and other areas with similar climates.It is about the size of an orange, with a yellowish shell that turns a rich red color as it matures. Inside the inedible husk are individual cells containing seed kernels. Each seed is surrounded by a juice-filled sac, which is pressed out during processing. It is the juice of the pomegranate which interests most cooks and health food enthusiasts.It has antioxidants properties which are believed to protect the body's cells from the damaging effects of free radicals found in oxygen.

Rimon(Pomegranate) was first used for healing by the Egyptian Pharaohs, is a powerful antioxidant, helping protect the skin against environmental damage and promoting healthier, younger looking skin.

This lotion basically is a hydrating balm that instantly absorbed by the skin and provides a smooth, healthy look. This unique combination of Dead Sea minerals together with natural ingredients immediately replenishes the skin's hydration to its optimum level and leaves the skin relaxed, supple, silky soft and radiant all day.

How it works?

Apply a small amount in your hands and massage into your skin until absorbed. For best results apply after shower/bath. Use it at least twice a day for better result.
