{SECRET & TIPS} Beauty skin- care I can't live without. Rahsia kecantikan terbongkar la sangt..

Hello pretty awesome! Hope everything goes really well for you girls cause I'm hoping the same for me..

So,dulu2 kan...I had the most annoying skin problem...even so, I had it on off..but not as awful as before..Before, I would just wear heavy makeup everywhere and can't leave without it cause I hate being seen with naked face looking like a horrible scary ghost.

My face are just so dull yet full of pigmentation and old acne scar which is totally hideous. After trial and error, day by day, I found out the secret in achieving fresh radiant face is totally having strict face routine. A day that I skipped my face routine, pimples starts popping up and if it's not, it's just my lucky day. Hence,  I figured that I should share my skin routine by introducing all the skin care products that I can't live without.

After gathering all of my favorite, this is my most favorite and most I can't live without. Starting from cleansing to the whole night regime. And I can ensure you this is all you need to stay pimpleless.

Everyday, I would started my day with cleansing. I've been raving about this cleanser / whitening soap called Alpha Arbutin Soap. Read my review here.

This cleansing bar helps lighten my acne scar perfectly and at reasonably fast rate. Most whitening cleanser would cause dryness to your skin. However, this soap has the most minimal effect. I can't say I use this everyday but rather every alternate day. And honestly, this helps a lot in getting rid my old acne scars. Most whitening products uses Arbutin mainly for whitening. Even commercial brands like Safi White has Arbutin in it.

Along with cleansing routine, I would use my favorite cleansing tool that I talked about before.

This Olay Pro- X in Pink works really well in getting rid of stubborn dirt. I've been using this like more than a year and still, haven't had to change the battery or the brush. Definitely something that worth buying cause it's long lasting and durable too. Someone said that they use this for scrubbing but I use this routinely with my cleanser and it cleans makeup effectively. The reason I use beauty tools instead of bare hands is to make sure germs from my hand doesn't spread all over face and potentially increase the possibility of pimples growing. I know this cleansing method might be a little bit expensive for everyone. Do please wait for my soon blog post where I shared my alternative cheaper version of cleansing machine.

Before I put on any moisturizer, I would use my toner to make sure my face are clean and let the moisturizer penetrate through skin better.

I got this Special Recipe Toning Lotion by Mary Quant few months ago from contest winning. I love this toner because it also cleans my face fairly well without having to experience stinging feeling. I talked about the importance of toner before. Toner is something you actually avoid skipping cause this is how you get rid of that extra dirt after cleansing.

What common people use to apply toner is of course the cotton puff  BUT..I'm here to share you my discovery.... I bought this Air- laid facial puffs from Watsons by accident...which I initially thought was a normal cotton facial puffs as I was rushing to buy them at that time. Back home, after testing it for just once, I swear that this is the best discovery I ever made that month^-^. Usually, when I use cotton, I would waste like 4 - 5 puffs per toner session to complete all facial area..but.. when I use this 'AIR-LAID' technology facial puffs, you'll just need ONE. yup, ONE! xtipu...and it even absorbs toner much much more compared to usual cotton facial puffs. The most saving facial puffs that I love.

And when that skin are clean, I'll moisten my face. I'm not a big fan of moisturizer but when I really need to moisten my face, I would definitely use Sana Hadanomy mist. Usually, over- moisten my face would makes my pimples pop out but not with this mist. This mist also helps a lot in making my face seems glowy and shiny.

Full day of having heavy makeup would make my face looks tired. Spray a little bit of this mist can helps my face seems soft and dewy and not that oily. Check out review here.

And after that hectic day of having full makeup on, it's time for a night sleeping face. Biggest mistakes I ever made is using wet tissues alone to rub off all the makeup. I was then told that excessive rubbing especially on eye area would make my eyes wrinkled. And that was too late as I already develop a tiny tiny wrinkle on my eyes area. So then, I just had to buy a makeup remover. I just decided to try Pixy as my first and I love it ever since. I tried other brand after that but I just hateeeeeeeee oil type. Ya, as I mentioned before there's basically two type of makeup remover and my face and oil are just a mismatch. Oil type makes my face oily and prone to acne.

This Pixy makeup remover is considered economical compared to others and really effective. What I do to my makeup remover is separate them in spray container which is easy for travelling and you can just spray on your face and gently wipe with wet tissues.

After the cleansing and toning, every alternate day or so, I will do masking.

I have a lot lot lot facial mask in my stock but this is the my holy grail mask and I'm not kidding cause I almost finish the whole container. It's white and smells like strawberry. After masking, I would feel my face fresher and a lot more radiant. Sometimes, I would just accidentally sleep with it and it doesn't makes my face overdry. see review on Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask here.

When we talk about skin -care, tell me what do you need to use once a week?

It's essential to get rid of dead skin and clogged pore.

If you answered SCRUB, then 2 thumbs up to you.

Srubbing everyday isn't necessary and sometimes can be wrong but once a week is pretty essential.

 I have no staple product for scrubbing but Nivea Extra White Repair does works well with me. The beads is really small or as we say it's micro and that it's really comfortable and doesn't hurt my face after wash with all the rough bead friction thingy. It does also says that it removes impurities and make- up residues.

After all the cleansing and toning and masking....It's time to sleep!!! I just don't sleep with bare face. Your skin works really effective when you're sleep. Hence, a good good serum is the way to go... It will give extra boost to your skin so that when you wake up, your face will be less oily and glowing.

Read my review on this awesome Simplysiti Dermagic Intensive Serum.

Eyes area are very delicate. Hence, you'll need a special serum for your eyes area. This Enuca Wake me up Eye serum I bought on warehouse sale is a best seller among their brand. I love the concept and do see great result on my eyes. Would you love a full review on this? Do let me know. Whatever eye cream you're wearing, remember not to apply the by rubbing. Instead, try dabbing ad tapping method.

Ok, promise this is like the last one.

I got people asking me question of what they should take as beauty supplement and honestly, I don't take beauty supplement in a consistent way. I do tried a lot of beauty supplement given by dear dear sponsors but that's it. I would take them and finish the whole thing. Make reviews on it and just stop. I dislike taking supplement for reasons like no money for it, not tasty, no time for it and ETC. But most probably I'm scared that it will damage my vital organ. I don't even take medicine when I'm sick even as a nurse (and as I say that this post is a secret of mine) even doctors don't take their medicine when they sick. I don't believe medicine heals but rather hides all the illness. I believe letting your body fight through is the best with plenty of water drinking and rest. Nevertheless, please please seek doctor consultation if you're too sick, My method of healing only works for people that is not soo sick though. Back to my post, the only supplement I believe in is what they called it Habbastussauda or as known as Nigella Sativa. My particular brand is by Rayhanah, in the form of capsules which is easy to swallow type. Nigella Sativa is actually in seed form and to get the benefit, you're required to chew them which I can't possibly have the will to do it. This is the only supplement that I took currently cause I heard many times,

Beloved Abu Hurayrah  narrated that the Prophet  said:  

“Use this Black Seed regularly, because it is a cure for every disease, except death.” 

[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

And I believe with all my hearts that it does works. I understands that some said taking this makes their stomach hurts but not for me. I would advised drinking a lot of water with it though cause it does feels like a bit strong when you first consume. But when something mentioned by the Prophet (Please be upon him), you don't just ignore cause it's something came from the Almighty and He knows each and everything He created. 

Hence, what I shared is only for the purpose of sharing. Not everything I've shared works great on everyone. You'll just have to get to know your skin type and knowing what my skin need is a long trial and error process but I do love sharing and hope I help you today, You don't need that high end facial treatment in some beauty center offers. You just need to know you and be really passionate about it and lastly, be beautiful inside as well.

Thank you for reading.

Till next time, Salam,

XOXO
