August Haul: Hair Protect Products

I have been saving for months now and I try as much as I can to avoid buying anything not really important (i.e. korean products haha) but this time, I felt like I needed to do this because I haven't been taking care of my hair lately.

I used to dye my hair every month, and the ends are really gross. I have been trimming it lately and I dont reckon I've dyed it this year (I am so proud of myself!). I did get a few hair cuts this year and the length is nowhere near as to how it was before. I did get a rebond from a Korean Salon a month ago and thats it so far. So today I did some shopping and bought a few stuff that I am interested to use to see if it will sort of help fix my hair, or at least make it look healthy again.

L-R: Vitress Hair Polish Sun Protect, Pantene PRO-V Summer Rescue Shampoo, Pantene PRO-V Summer Rescue 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner

I have used Vitress before but its the other hair product, the oily one. I think this one is the cream type. There were lots of variant for this item but I chose the sun protect one mainly because I go to work daily at noon and that's when the sun is shining the most so I am hoping this will act as a sunblock, only this time its for my hair.

When the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner came out, there was a lot of hype about it being very good. I did try it before but never really got the chance to use it for a long time. This time, its the Summer Rescue variant as well and because I'm looking for sun protection this time, this will really be a good match with the shampoo I picked up as well. 

I've tried Pantene shampoo before, but I have a habit of changing from one brand to another (damn adverts on TV). Im not so sure if this is a new product but the Summer Rescue variant caught my attention so I picked it up. Maybe this is for those sun damaged hair due to the sun and the beach? I am excited to test this one out and see if it will make any difference. Im currently using Dove (shampoo) and I dont think its working as my hair feels dry and coarse so I am really hoping for the best.

To be honest, I'm not really expecting my hair to go back to how shiny and healthy it was from way back high-school (hello long black hair lol) but at least I would love to lose the split ends as well as make my hair look healthy again. My hair tends to be soooo dry so I am hoping to revive it before I lose my hair haha. Here's to hoping then. Product reviews soon!

DAY 1 - A Make Up Product You Use Daily 

(10 Day Blogpost Challenge)

Now this is something thats very easy for me. I can live even without an eyeliner, but not without my lip products. Im currently into lip tints right now so this is something that I use more than 10 times daily :D

I cant really choose a favorite, but I've slowly disposed some of my lip products already (maturity at its best, because you dont really need a lot, right? right). Now these are all I have left, an I use them alternately, depending on my mood.

From LEFT - RIGHT: Apieu Marker Pen Tint in RD03, Aritaum Tint in Water in 05 Bump Into You, Chateau Labiotte Wine Lip Tint in Shiraz Red, The Face Shop Watery Tint in 05 Cherry Red, The Face Shop Watery Tint in 02 Coralster, The Saem Saemmul Water Candy Tint in Red Mango, Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet in 06 Celeb Deep Rose

The Saem Saemmul Water Candy Tint in Red Mango

Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet in 06 Celeb Deep Rose

I used to have more than just these but adulting made me realize things and so I slowly got rid of those I dont really want or use. But sometimes whenever I see something new or cute I just find myself reaching out for it and buying it :3 Haha

Night Time Routine To Clear Acne Scars

Hi guys! Today I am going to be sharing a routine which I would truly recommend to everyone suffering from acne. I am someone who suffers from acne since my teenage years and I am still suffering till this time. But luckily I managed to stumble upon korean beauty products, and trust me- IT WORKS! But before we start, lets try to identify what acne really is and what causes it.

Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones and other substances on the skin’s oil glands (sebaceous glands) and hair follicles. These factors lead to plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Although acne is usually not a serious health threat, it can be a source of significant emotional distress. Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring.

So without further adieu let me introduce you to a night time routine to clear acne scars. First, I will show you a comparison of my skin. The before photo was taken April/May 2016, when I finally caved in and sent my mom a message saying I cant take it anymore as it is too much to handle for me. That's when I decided to try the korean skin care routine and hoped for the best. And I wasnt disappointed! A look at the after photo (taken just today!) would say its definitely heaps better compared to last year. 

And that isnt even the worst that Ive experienced! But ever since Ive been religiously doing my korean skin care routine, a lot of things has changed already. So today I will be sharing a routine that will help in clearing out acne and acne scars as well.

Introducing, WISHTREND's best seller - the most effective night care routine targeted for acne scars.

Content: (Full Sizes)

[KLAIRS] Supple Preparation Facial Toner

[By Wishtrend] Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advanced Serum

[SKINMISO] Spot Repairing Serum

[I'M FROM] Vitamin Tree Water Gel

[LEI LANI] Poruji Cream

[COSRX] Acne Pimple Master Patch (1 Sheet)

I know these might seem like a lot of product to apply all at once, but trust me its all gonna be worth it at the end. So how is this routine done? Here it goes.

FIRST STEP (KLAIRS Supple Preparation Facial Toner to remove impurities & prevent whiteheads)

KLAIR’S toner hydrates and calms sensitive skin post-cleansing and tidies the skin texture to smoothen while maintaining the optimal pH balance to help the absorption of other products as well.

1. After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to clean skin and use the heat of your palms to help the complete absorption. For dry areas, multiple applications are recommended.
2. If using a cotton pad, soak the pad completely.

SECOND STEP (Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advance Serum to fade Acne Scars)

With an upgraded formula with more of the effects but less the ingredients, the Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advanced Serum has been transformed to have even greater hydration and absorption without the stickiness. It conditions and restores balance to replenish and retain moisture in the skin with the optimal 21.5% of pure vitamin C.

1. After cleansing, apply an adequate amount to the face, dividing up the portions and applying each small portion to different areas. Lightly tap the area to help absorption. 
2. Gently massage the whole face using your palms about 2-3 times to ensure full absorption.

THIRD STEP (SkinMiso Spot Repairing Serum to directly target acne scars)

SKINMISO’s Spot Repairing Serum is perfect for people who have trouble acne spots on their skin. These include red spots, acne, fresh or old acne scars, dark spots, etc. This acne spot treatment soothes and calms irritated spots on your skin. This spot treatment serum also creates a protective layer on the skin to protect and ceil your trouble acne spot away from the outer environment, providing better treatment.

1. Apply a moderate amount of acne spot treatment serum to troubled spots on the skin.

FOURTH STEP (I'M FROM Vitamin Tree Water Gel to help rejuvenate skin with hydration)

The premium whitening water gel is optimal for oily skin where a cream type product could feel a bit heavy. The gel is rapidly absorbed by the skin, and the cooling sensation helps to quickly calm redness. In addition, as certified by the FDA for its whitening function, it transforms the skin to appear brighter and more clear for a radiant look.

1. After cleansing, apply an adequate amount evenly to the face.

FIFTH STEP (Lei Lani Poruji Cream to control & prevent excessive sebum)

The Poruji Cream is an intensive care cream designed to soothe, condition, and repair oily, problematic skin to kick all your skin concerns to the curb.

1. After using your emulsion, dab a small amount of the Poruji Cream using a finger or a cotton swab and evenly spread over the problematic areas overnight for a transformation in the morning.

SIXTH STEP (COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch to prevent secondary infections while healing)

Acne Pimple Master Patch is a hydrocolloid patch that prevents secondary infections while healing. The light and thin skin protectant patch allows intensive care for the smallest problematic areas while protecting the skin from external pollutants. It protects distressed areas so makeup application is possible while managing intensive care for the problematic area. A must have for anyone and everyone.

1. Wash and completely dry the target area. 
2. Remove the cover film and apply to the target area. (Do not use any lotion or other products before use.) 
3. As the patch absorbs pus, it turns white. Replace the white patch with a new one. (1 patch per day is recommended)

And there you have it! An acne scar nightly routine that will definitely help you out for with your acne and acne scar troubles. If you want to see it in action, please check out this youtube video as well.
