Beauty Appetite by Jessica Simon

As you guys have known from this post, I got invited by Female Daily to Pond's bloggers gathering to celebrate Pond's 25th Anniversary in Indonesia. I can't even believe that Pond's is older than I am O_O! Even though Pond's has been in Indonesia for 25 years, it was actually established in 1846... More than sixteen decades!

Seperti yang kalian tahu dari post ini, Aku diundang oleh Female Daily ke Pond's bloggers gathering untuk merayakan ulang tahun ke-25 di Indonesia. Aku bahkan tidak percaya bahwa Pond's lebih tua dariku O_O! Meskipun Pond's telah berada di Indonesia untuk 25 tahun, sebenarnya Pond's sudah didirikan pada tahun 1846... Sudah lebih dari enam belas dekade!
One of the Pond's most famous ranges is White Beauty. Pond's White Beauty Formula has been tested and adapted to the needs of Indonesian women, such as non-sticky skin care, easily absorbed and convenient to use in the tropics.

Salah satu rangkaian produk Pond's yang paling terkenal adalah White Beauty. Formula Pond's White Beauty sudah diuji coba dan disesuaikan untuk kebutuhan perempuan Indonesia yaitu krim perawatan kulit yang tidak lengket, mudah meresap dan nyaman digunakan di daerah tropis.
Pond's has been established for a long time in Indonesia, so their products shouldn't be a new thing for you! In fact, you might as well have used or still use Pond's products... Tell us all how you started to use Pond's and the journey while you're using the product! You can share your story at kisah.ponds.co.id and win holiday trip to Belitung! (September 25th - December 15th 2014)

Pond's sudah berdiri sejak lama di Indonesia, pasti produk-produknya bukan hal baru lagi buat kamu! Bahkan mungkin kamu juga pernah pakai atau masih pakai produk Pond's... Ceritain dong ke kita semua gimana kamu bisa pakai Pond's dan perjalanan selama kamu pake produknya! Kamu bisa share cerita #PondsDanKamu di kisah.ponds.co.id dan menangkan hadiah jalan-jalan ke Belitung! (25 September - 15 Desember 2014)
At the event, we were told to gather a team to make a scrap-board which contains the story of Pond's White Beauty Journey!

Di event kemarin, kita disuruh mengumpulkan team untuk membuat scrap-board yang berisikan kisah perjalanan menggunakan Pond's!
This is my team! From left to right: Jean, Anah, me, Fia, Dalphine, Bunga, and Leonita

Ini team ku! Dari kiri ke kanan: Jean, Anah, Aku, Fia, Dalphine, Bunga, dan Leonita
The result! / Hasil scrap-boardnya!
We got a chance to try Pond's White Beauty Cream from other countries as well. They're all different from one another, because we all have different skin conditions and different needs.

Kami mendapat kesempatan untuk mencoba Ponds White Beauty Cream dari negara lain juga. Mereka semua berbeda satu sama lain, karena kita semua memiliki kondisi kulit yang berbeda dan kebutuhan yang berbeda.
As you can see the texture are all different. The one from South America is watery, the one from China is creamy, and one from Indonesia is more like a paste. Being in the tropical zone, we need skin care that isn't sticky and absorb to our skin really fast, that's why the cream isn't in watery/creamy consistency like South America or China. Indonesia's Pond's cream also has matte finish, because most of Indonesians has oily/combo skin. So if you like to use skincare from different country or even continents, you better think twice, is the product made specifically for your skin condition or not?

Seperti yang Anda lihat tekstur semua berbeda. Satu dari Amerika Selatan berair, satu dari Cina adalah krim, dan yang dari Indonesia teksturnya lebih seperti pasta. Berada di zona tropis, kita perlu perawatan kulit yang tidak lengket dan menyerap ke kulit kita sangat cepat, itu sebabnya krim tidak dalam konsistensi yang cair seperti Amerika Selatan atau China. Cream di Indonesia juga memiliki matte finish, karena sebagian besar orang Indonesia memiliki kulit yang berminyak. Jadi kalau kamu sering menggunakan perawatan kulit dari negara bahkan benua yang berbeda, Anda lebih baik berpikir dua kali, adalah produk yang dibuat khusus untuk kondisi kulit Anda atau tidak?

MY POND'S WHITE BEAUTY JOURNEY
If you've seen me in person, then you would know that I'm quite tall for an Asian. It is our family genetic after all, plus we like to swim since I was young, so every week I always swim together with my sisters. (I swim in swimming pool not in the ocean, the pic is exaggerated a little bit hehe)

Kalau kalian pernah ketemu aku secara langsung, kalian pasti sudah tahu kalo aku ini cukup tinggi untuk ukuran orang Asia. Memang genetik keluargaku tinggi-tinggi semua, ditambah lagi kita suka berenang dari kecil, jadi tiap minggu pasti selalu berenang bareng. (Aku berenang di kolam renang, bukan di laut, emang gambarnya agak lebay hehe)
Unfortunately it became a problem, my skin became dull because I was in direct sunlight for a long time. Sometimes I didn't feel confident around my friends, because I got dull skin.

Nah, dari situ jadi timbul masalah yaitu kulit kusam karena terlalu lama berada di bawah sinar matahari. Jadi sering gak pede kalau jalan sama temen, karena punya kulit kusam.
Until I finally found a product that not only brightens up the face, but make white, flushed face. Because it's useless to use skincare that only whitens the skin, because it doesn't look healthy and attractive at all.

Sampai akhirnya aku menemukan produk yang gak hanya mencerahkan kulit, tapi bikin wajah putih merona. Karena percuma pakai produk yang bikin wajah putih, tapi malah gak kelihatan sehat karena wajah jadi seputih tembok.
There are day cream an night cream in "Pond's White Beauty Pinkish White Translucent" range. The day cream has powdery or matte finish, which is perfect for daytime, so my skin wouldn't look oily and greasy all day. While the night cream helps to moisturize the skin, the texture is very light and absorb quickly into the skin. If used regularly, skin will look brighter within 7 days.

"Pond's White Beauty Translucent Pinkish White" ini ada day cream dan night cream-nya. Hasil powdery atau matte finish sangat cocok untuk siang hari, jadi kulit gak telihat berminyak seharian. Sedangkan night cream-nya berfungsi untuk melembabkan kulit, cream-nya sendiri pun sangat ringan dan cepat meresap ke kulit. Bila digunakan secara teratur, kulit akan terlihat lebih cerah dalam waktu 7 hari.
But, it was all in the past... Now, I do not have dull skin problem, I don't feel that sunlight is a threat to my skin anymore, and I've been a lot more confident because not only I have bright skin, but my skin is also flushed! :)

Tapi, itu sih dulu... Kalau sekarang sih udah ga punya masalah kulit kusam lagi, gak perlu musuhan lagi sama sinar matahari, percaya diri pun meningkat karena kulitku gak cuma putih, tapi putih merona! :)


Don't forget to share your Pond's story at kisah.ponds.co.id and win holiday trip to Belitung! (September 25th - December 15th 2014)

Ceritain yuk kisah #PondsDanKamu, di kisah.ponds.co.id dan menangkan hadiah jalan-jalan ke Belitung! (25 September - 15 Desember 2014)

Hi beauty munchers!
I have another product to remove dead skin cells, it's Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque! Actually there are 4 products in Rare Earth collection, the cleanser, toner, lotion and this mask, but the Deep Pore Cleansing Masque is the most famous one among those four, so of course I got one for myself to try :)

Aku punya produk untuk mengangkat sel kulit mati nih, namanya Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque! Sebenarnya ada 4 produk dalam koleksi Rare Earth, pembersih wajah, toner, lotion dan masker ini, tapi Deep Pore Cleansing Masque inilah yang paling terkenal diantara yang lain, jadi tentu aku harus punya satu untuk dicoba :)

Product description:
Mask to clean pores, can be used for normal and oily skin types to help remove accumulated dirt and dead skin cells that can clog pores and make skin looks dull. Helps to remove impurities and toxins from the skin surface. After use, skin appears smoother with pores appear smaller.

Deskripsi produk:
Masker untuk membersihkan pori-pori ini dapat digunakan untuk jenis kulit normal dan berminyak untuk membantu menghilangkan kotoran dan akumulasi-sel kulit mati yang dapat menyumbat pori-pori dan membuat kulit tampak kusam. Membantu menghilangkan kotoran dan racun dari permukaan kulit. Setelah digunakan, kulit tampak lebih halus dengan pori-pori tampak lebih kecil.

Key Ingredients:
Bentonite, found in Canada and the Midwest, is a colloidal aluminum silicate clay. It is used as a suspending agent in a variety of skin care formulas including lotions and makeup. Because it absorbs oil, it is often used as a facial mask to reduce shine. Also helps to stabilize formulas.

Unsur utama:
Bentonit, ditemukan di Kanada dan Midwest, adalah aluminium silikat tanah liat koloid. Yang digunakan sebagai zat pensuspensi dalam berbagai formula perawatan kulit termasuk lotion dan makeup. Karena menyerap minyak, sering digunakan sebagai masker wajah untuk mengurangi bersinar. Juga membantu untuk menstabilkan formula.
The mask has thick consistency, so it will stick to your skin properly. Clean your face before you use this, then spread the mask all over your face and leave for 10-15 minutes, after that wash off with lukewarm water and splash your face with cold water to close the pores. This mask works to suck the dirt and excess oil on your face, so remember not to leave it more than 15 minutes, otherwise it will absorb the moisture in your skin.

Masker ini memiliki konsistensi padat, sehingga akan menempel pada kulit Anda dengan benar. Bersihkan wajah Anda sebelum Anda menggunakan ini, kemudian oleskan masker ke seluruh wajah Anda dan biarkan selama 10-15 menit, setelah itu bilas dengan air hangat dan percikan wajah Anda dengan air dingin untuk menutup pori-pori. Masker ini berfungsi untuk menyedot kotoran dan minyak berlebih di wajah Anda, jadi jangan menggunakan masket ini lebih dari 15 menit, karena dapat menyerap kelembaban kulit Anda.

I love the result after using this mask, skin becomes really soft and clean, it also reduce excess oil, whiteheads/blackheads and prevent acne too! I think this is a must have product for acne-prone/oily/combo skin because it reduces the oil in our face, use once or twice a week for better result. Not recommended for dry skin.

Aku suka hasil setelah menggunakan masker ini, kulit menjadi sangat lembut dan bersih, juga mengurangi kelebihan minyak, komedo dan mencegah jerawat! Menurut saya masker ini wajib punya untuk yang memiliki kulit berminyak atau berjerawat karena mengurangi minyak di wajah, gunakan sekali atau dua kali seminggu untuk hasil yang lebih baik. Tidak dianjurkan untuk kulit kering.

These three products are from Beauty Buffet, they're available in @Copia Beauty Store that available in Central Park, PVJ, Summarecon, Kota Kasablanka and many more. @Copia is pretty much like Sephora, they carry so many beauty brands from all over the world like Beauty Buffet, Beauty Cottage, OPI, The Face Shop and other famous brands.

Ketiga produk ini adalah produk dari Beauty Buffet, mereka tersedia di @Copia Beauty Store yang tersedia di Central Park, PVJ, Summarecon, Kota Kasablanka dan banyak lagi. @Copia kurang lebih sama seperti Sephora, mereka membawa banyak merk kecantikan dari seluruh dunia seperti Beauty Buffet, Beauty Cottage, OPI, The Face Shop dan merk terkenal lainnya.

This time, I got a chance to try not one but three products from Beauty Buffet, a famous Thailand brand! The apricot line has three variants: Smoothies Facial Scrub, Sherbet Body Scrub and Shower Juice.

Kali ini, saya mendapat kesempatan untuk mencoba bukan hanya satu tapi tiga produk dari Beauty Buffet, merk Thailand yang terkenal! Aprikot memiliki tiga varian: Smoothies Facial Scrub, Sherbet Body Scrub dan Shower Juice.
APRICOT SMOOTHIES FACIAL SCRUB
A facial scrub with apricot extracts, multivitamin, and micro beads. This scrub will gently remove dead skin cells from your skin. It also contains anti-oxidant to prevent wrinkles :)

Scrub wajah dengan ekstrak aprikot, multivitamin, dan micro beads. Scrub lembut ini berfungsi untuk mengangkat sel kulit mati. Juga mengandung anti-oksidan untuk mencegah keriput :)
How to use:
Apply on the face, massage with a circular motion for 3-5 minutes then rinse with clean water. Use this scrub twice or thrice a week, depending on your skin condition, if you have dry skin, scrub your face only once or twice a week.

Cara Penggunaan:
Oleskan pada wajah, pijat dengan gerakan memutar selama 3-5 menit kemudian bilas dengan air bersih. Gunakan scrub ini dua atau tiga kali seminggu, tergantung pada kondisi kulit Anda, jika Anda memiliki kulit kering, gunakan cukup hanya sekali atau dua kali seminggu.
Apricot Smoothies Facial Scrub is suitable for 25 years old and older to prevent wrinkles and other aging signs. It smells really good, seriously it smells like real smoothies! O_O

Apricot Smoothies Scrub Wajah cocok untuk yang berusia 25 tahun keatas untuk mencegah keriput dan tanda-tanda penuaan lainnya. Wangi scrub-nya seperti smoothie beneran! O_O
This facial scrub could clean my face really well, it's really gentle and doesn't irritate my skin, but I find that the texture is a little bit of a problem, because it's really watery, sometimes I pour too much on my palm. I'm thinking of using spoon to scoop the product next time LOL.

Scrub wajah ini bisa membersihkan wajah saya dengan sangat baik, sangat lembut dan tidak membuat kulit menjadi iritasi, tapi menurut saya teksturnya agak sulit digunakan, karena teksturnya terlalu berair, jadi terkadang aku tuang terlalu banyak. Kayaknya lain kali aku butuh sendok untuk mengambil produknya hahaha.

And somehow I wish it has different form of facial scrub or it comes in different kind of container, because I've been trying to be extremely hygienic with my face, and God knows how much bacteria my hands/fingers.

Aku sih berharap facial scrub ini memiliki bentuk yang berbeda atau dibuat dalam tempat yang berbeda, karena aku lagi sedang berusaha untuk menjaga kulit sangat higienis, dan cuma Tuhan yang tahu berapa banyak bakteri tangan / jari.

Rating: 3/5
APRICOT SHERBET BODY SCRUB
It's another scrub! But this one is for your body... Sometimes we care so much about our face but we neglect our body o_o For example, I always apply sunscreen on my face before I go out, but I rarely--almost never!--apply sunscreen on my body, mainly because I find it troublesome and I don't like the sticky feeling. But I never skip scrubbing day, because I like to keep my skin soft.

Scrub lagi! Tapi yang satu ini buat tubuh... Kadang kita sangat peduli dengan wajah kita tetapi kita suka mengabaikan tubuh kita o_o Contoh, aku selalu menggunakan tabir surya pada wajah sebelum pergi keluar, tapi aku jarang--dan hampir tidak pernah-- menggunakan tabir surya pada tubuh, dikarenakan karena hal tersebut menyusahkan dan lengket. Tapi aku tidak pernah melewatkan scrubbing, karena aku ingin menjaga kulit tetap lembut.

Product description:
Natural salt scrub. Scrub enriched with coarse grains of the walnut which helps remove dead skin cells which is the cause of dullness and rough. Rich with apricot extracts that rejuvenates the skin and increase moisture in the skin making it healthy and glowing.

Deskripsi produk: 
Scrub garam alami. Scrub diperkaya dengan biji-bijian kasar dari kenari yang membantu mengangkat sel kulit mati yang merupakan penyebab kusam dan kasar. Kaya dengan ekstrak aprikot yang meremajakan kulit dan meningkatkan kelembaban di kulit sehingga sehat dan bercahaya.
How to use:
Apply on wet skin all over the body. Rub gently and then rinse thoroughly.

Cara menggunakan:
Oleskan pada kulit basah di seluruh tubuh. Gosok perlahan lalu bilas hingga bersih.
The texture of the body scrub is totally different with the face scrub. This one has dense texture because it has lots of gentle scrubs. However, Apricot Sherbet Body Scrub has the least fragrance of all these three products, so it's better if you use the Apricot Shower Juice after you scrub :)

Tekstur body scrub sama sekali berbeda dengan wajah scrub. Yang satu ini memiliki tekstur padat karena memiliki lebih banyak scrub. Namun, Apricot Sherbet Body Scrub memiliki aroma paling sedikit dari antara yang lain, jadi lebih baik menggunakan Apricot Shower Juice setelah Anda scrubbing :)
This is my favorite product of all three, because I really love the result! My skin becomes soft and silky smooth after using this. It doesn't dry my skin or make my skin greasy. It's actually really easy to use, I always apply this on the shower after I apply my hair mask (so I have something to do while waiting for the hair mask to sink in). And don't forget to scrub before shave for a good result, it's just a little habit that I do before I shave my legs heheh.

Ini adalah produk favorit saya dari ketiga produk yang ada, karena aku suka banget sama hasilnya! Kulit menjadi lembut dan halus setelah scrubbing. Tidak membuat kulit menjadi kering sama sekali. Pemakaiannya pun sangat mudah, aku sih biasanya pakai ini di kamar mandi setelah saya menggunakan masker rambut (sambil menunggu masker rambut untuk meresap). Dan jangan lupa untuk menggosok sebelum bercukur untuk hasil yang baik, ini adalah kebiasaan yang saya lakukan sebelum saya mencukur kaki saya heheh.
I think IDR 150,000 for 350ml of products is definitely worth it! It will last you for quite a long time. If you don't fond of fragrance in your body scrub, then this is great for you since the fragrance isn't really strong. But if you like fruity smell, then I recommend you to get this and the Shower Juice, if you pair them up, you'll end up with soft and sweet-scented body.

Menurutku Rp 150.000 untuk 350ml produk sangatlah worth it! Ini akan habis untuk waktu yang cukup lama. Jika kamu tidak menyukai aroma pada scrub, maka ini sangat bagus karena aroma di scrub ini tidak kuat. Tapi kalau kamu suka wangi buah, maka saya sarankan untuk menggunakan scrub ini dan Juice Shower, kalau dipakai keduanya kulit kamu bakal lembut dan wangi apricot.

Rating: 4.5/5 
APRICOT SHOWER JUICE
Last but not least, the Apricot Shower Juice! Just so you know, it smells as yummy as it's sound. I love how Beauty Buffet named all of their products, all of the names make me hungry.. and thirsty. The shower juice comes in a big bottle as well, it's 250ml so if you use it by yourself, a bottle will last you for months! The anti-aging in this shower juice is meant to keep your skin tight and wrinkle-free, I'm not 100% sure if that works, because my skin has been really healthy in the first place ok? ;)

Last but not least, Apricot Shower Juice! Cukup tahu aja, wanginya seenak namanya. Saya suka Beauty Buffet menamai produk-produknya mereka, nama-namanya bikin lapar... dan juga haus. Kemasan Shower Juice ini terdapat dalam botol besar juga (250ml), jadi jika kamu cuma pakai sendirian, butuh berbulan-bulan untuk menghabiskannya! Anti-penuaan dalam Shower Juice ini dimaksudkan untuk menjaga kulit kencang dan bebas kerut, aku tidak 100% yakin apakah hal tersebut yang bekerja, karena kulitku sudah sehat dari awal ok? ;)
How to use:
Pour on a shower puff to get the foam, apply evenly and then rinse with clean water.

Cara menggunakan: 
Tuangkan pada shower puff untuk mendapatkan busa, oleskan secara merata dan kemudian bilas dengan air bersih.
Overall, I think this is a good product, especially if you pair it up with the Body Scrub! The Shower Juice has the strongest fragrance of all, but I prefer sweet fruity scent than floral scent though, it all depends on personal preference :) Beauty Buffet's Apricot Scentio Apricot Smoothies Facial Scrub, Body Scrub and Shower Juice can only be purchased at Copia Beauty Store.

Secara keseluruhan, menurutku produk ini yang cukup bagus, apalagi kalau kamu pasangkan dengan Body Scrub! Shower Juice memiliki aroma yang paling kuat diantara semua, ditambah lagi aku lebih suka manis buah aroma daripada aroma bunga, tapi bagaimanapun juga itu semua tergantung pada preferensi pribadi :) Beauty Buffet Apricot Scentio Apricot Smoothies Scrub Wajah, Lulur dan Mandi Juice hanya dapat dibeli di Copia Beauty Store.

Last week I got so much time to kill, since I have finished my study and final project, I attended some events and met fellow bloggers there. I really enjoy attending beauty-related events, because I could meet people with the same passion as me, which is, of course beauty.

I feel like lately beauty bloggers from Indonesia has been more recognized by brand/company representatives than couple years ago, hence the beauty-related events are held every other week! That means I could meet blogger friends more often ;)


Tuesday, 16th September 2014
I celebrated Pond's White Beauty Journey at Hotel Mulia, Senayan with fellow bloggers. Can you believe that Pond's has been in Indonesia for 25 years?! Pond's is even older than I am!! We had to create a scrap board in a group of 6-7, and I teamed up with (from left to right): Jean, Anah, (me), Fia, Dalphine, Bunga and Leonita. More review of the products and event report are coming soon, alright?


Wednesday, 17th September 2014
And the next day I went to The Only One Club at FX Lifestyle X'nter for the launching of Japan Beauty Tour, this event was organized by Kawaii Beauty Japan and H.I.S. Travel. It's pretty much the same like beauty tour to South Korea, because lately beauty tour is really in! You could also go to Japan with H.I.S. Travel and they will provide your beauty needs in Japan, it's really convenient than traveling all by yourself right? Plus, I studied Tours and Travel Management lah, of course I recommend people to travel abroad with travel agencies heheheh #biased.


I went with my blogger bestie, Maria Clara/Miu! Some people even say that we look like twins? O_O


Photo credit: Miu
This pic one I took from Miu, I didn't bring my camera because it's so heavyyyy... I'm thinking on getting a new lighter camera for event reports or selfie HAHAHA, do you have any recommendation for me?

Bioderma has been released in Indonesia for a year! If you called yourself a beauty-biter (it means beauty lover, because my blog name is Beauty Appetite, get it? get it?), then you must have at least heard about Bioderma, the (if not most) famous facial cleanser!

I learned a lot at that #BiodermaSkinClass, that I will be sharing with you later hehe. The event took place at Le Cafe Gourmand, Gunawarman.


***

The reason why I could attend those events, even when they were held in weekdays is because I'm still unemployed. Not because no company wants me lah (I got some job offers), but because I wanted to have some free time for myself for a moment before start working,.. BUT I'll be graduating soon next month, so I guess my free time is almost over, it's almost time for me to work. And since I'll be working in hospitality industry, my schedule will be unpredictable and  I have to work on weekend most of the time as well. So this post isn't about me bragging how I got invited to some events, but just me being grateful to meet lots of new friends in short period of time, because I'm not really sure if I could attend another event from this moment onward. But I WISH I could though!


So that did I do in my free time this week??

First... I got married.

*
*
*
*
*


Hahahahah of course not married in real life! I played a game called Stardom Hollywood, you start playing as a nobody to A-list celebrity... And as you can see not only I'm an A-lister celebrity, but I'm on the top rank, just got married to another A-list celebrity, plus I owned most of the houses available in the game... Life was so perfect, then I got bored and don't play anymore.

Lesson learned: don't make fame and money as your goals in life, they're just boring stuffs after all.


I started to read again! I used to read fiction books a lot when I was younger, but it's a little bit troublesome to bring heavy books everywhere, thanks to iBooks now I can read everywhere (as long as the battery's not dead). I've been reading 'Crazy Rich Asians' by Kevin Kwan, and it's great & funny! It's a must-read, especially if you're Asians. I'm on the second part of the book now! Read the summary & review here.

If you also want to read it, just send me an email so I could send you the copy in epub format so you could also read it on your phone :) #sharingiscaring


Image from here
I watched Two and a Half Men from the very first season, and I can't even tell you how much I miss Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) in this series. Even though they replace Charlie with Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher, who was listed as 50 Most Beautiful People in The World), but I always think that this series is missing something without Charlie.

What is your favorite TV Series?


I also played Draw Something hahah! My drawings are not the best, because I have no stylus :( If you're playing, add me up! My ID is sijessie ;)

So yeah... That was my life last week, mostly not beauty related, but hey! I can write whatever I want right? :p

So many reviews this week! It's because I have been trying out so many new stuffs, and also in the mood to blog heheheh. I've been using this SkinLife Foaming Facial Wash, sabun menghilangkan jerawat (a medicated acne care) from Japan! Got this from Nihon Mart Kosmetik Online, which is an online-based store that sells beauty products from Japan, they have makeup and skincare from various famous brands like SK II, Shiseido, Hada Labo, Kose, Majolica Majorca and many more! Finally there's a online store to fulfill your Japanese beauty products craving, right girls? ;)


So this facial wash comes in a big bottle (200ml) in a pump bottle (it also has a secure lock, so the product won't spill out during the shipment). The texture is foam, which is good for acne-prone skin, because it needs gentle cleanser. I recommend acne-prone skin to use gel or foam cleanser because it won't irritate your skin.

If you think that this container is too bulky, Nihon Mart also provide the smaller version of this! It all depends on what you prefer, pump bottle (IDR 64,000 / 200ml) or the tube one (IDR 42,500 / 110ml). I personally like the pump bottle version because it's easier to use heheh.


So all you have to do is apply the facial wash on your palm and gently wash your face, then rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry your face using clean towel. You could also use the toner/lotion after face wash for better result.

I've tried several acne care facial wash before, and some of them dry out my skin, so my skin feels tight after each wash. But the SkinLife facial foam is really gentle, it doesn't dry out my skin at all. It's oil free and has good oil control. After a week of trying this facial wash, my skin looks healthier and glowing, I assume it cleans my skin very well and leave me with silky smooth skin.

Acne has been one of the greatest horror of my life, so I always have acne care products in my vanity to prevent it. Skin care doesn't work in a single day, you need patience, willingness and persistence for a beautiful and healthier skin. If you have mild acne problem, I recommend you to try it out, because it's gentle and safe, but if your acne problem is severe, I suggest you to check your skin on dermatologist.
