Hi guys I wanted to motivate everyone, so i hope you can help me too by sharing your skin before and after as well as your stories!

Hi im ira also known as sammieskin in Instagram. I'm from Philippines and I've started reviewing skincare right about 3 years ago when acne hit me bad - it was the worse I ever had I'd say.

Most of my breakouts would be on my jawline and forehead and a bit on upper cheek. Tbh I lost my confidence and told my sister I was broke, fat and why tf is my skin not even cooperating. 😭

Anyways attached my before and after skin. Tbh im so happy with my looong journey. There were so many ups and downs, and so much good and bad products out there. My hope is you'd be able to also find your holy grail products and you also get to enjoy trying every other skincare products that there is ❤️

And incase you're wondering, cosrx and klairs (i bought from wishtrend) were my first ever skincare brand. I'm happy I trusted these 2 that became the foundation of my good skin today ❤️

So hey, what's your story? :)

skincare before and after

Hey babes! Just wanna ask, what is your fave skincare texture - may it be gel, cream, thich serums, oils, water like serums or anything!! Hope to see all your shares ❤️

Oh and please include the product and why that texture wins your heart!!

Heres mine, since my skin is oily to combi, i love gel type moisturizers! They easily glide and easily absorbed by my skin! Usually most of them are really light weight which has always been perfect for acne prone, oily skin and the summery hot weather 🔥

I do have other thick ones that i love but im quite bias and lean towards these most of the time ❤️

Also, shameless plug pls support my IG: sammieskin ❤️

let's be mutuals!

Nothing bad about this! I&#39;m inlove and I seriously wanna review the new gel version of it

After a long tiring day, most of us just longs for a relaxing night (right?) and one of the things i do enjoy doing is using my masks. Clay masks, which are known to be detoxifying can be a bit drying for some, but trust me, axisy_official mugwort clay mask is just the right balance to it. 

This mugwort clay mask contains 61% mugworth extract that is good as anti inflammatory and antifungal, and adzuki bean granules for its mild exfoliating. It has a creamy texture and hint of herbal scent (i love it btw - reminds of chinese meds lol) 

I love using this mask after doing my 2 step cleansing (oil and soap cleanser). I simple spread a thin layer of the clay mask and let it sit on my skin for 15-20 mins. During the 15-20 i usually spray it with face mist so the clay wouldn&#39;t completely dry out. 

Hmm, that sounded weird right? Well, i found out that clay masks shouldnt completely dry out just to completely maximize it. It can still perform and suck out the dirt and oil from your skin while not letting it completly harden like a cement. 

After 15-20 mins. I wet my hands and slowly massage the clay mask that is on my face. Slowly massage it and let the mask soften on your skin before fully washing it off. The adzuki beans can be a bit of a mess and hard to take off - remember patience is a virtue 😉

Here are some of my fave tips: 
☑️ Sometimes i add oil (i love using cosrx vit e) to make it more hydrating. 
☑️ You can also add teatree if youre trying to treat some pimples as spot treatment.

It&#39;s all good with this product. Just not accessible worldwide

🎃 Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter
Contains AHA’s pumpkin enzymes which will gently slough away dead skin cells to reveal a brighter and smoother skin. It’s still very mild so it’s fine to use all over the eye area with no irritation at all. Along side pumpkin, it also contains Acerola Cherry, Mango Butter and Chia Seed Oil. 
It has buttery and gel-like texture and smooths onto the skin so easily, its a complete pleasure to apply + I&#39;ve also noticed that it is fragrance-free. Following the Elemis instructions, you can use it in either of 3 ways: makeup removal, daily cleanser and a mask.

I dint really think there&#39;s anything that I didnt like about this product.

Good for day and night use because it doesnt make my face feel dry nor oily throughout and it leaves a sheen that makes your face looks healthy and glowy. I&#39;d repurchase this cos it&#39;s not as expensive and its a safe bet to use everyday whatever your skin condition is since its light and non-irritating!

I hope its more accessible for other countries such as Philippines in a physical store. Tho there are a lot of online sellers, sometime the testing the texture matters

The first one i got was their original formula of their cream type and i couldnt get myself to like it so much due to the thick and oily feeling it leaves. It was catered more for dry skin and or for countries that has colder weather.

They reformulated and also released this gel cream type, which I&#39;m absolutely inlove. First I&#39;d say it was a good shift of packaging since the old one was a foil tube - the paint on the outside would flake out as you squeeze and you couldn&#39;t get almost all the product cos the foil type was hard to squeeze. The new tube now is a plastic type and easily squeezable, travel friendly size and can just cut it open when almost done. The change in formulation gives oily, acne prone and sensitive skin types some options to choose from. If you&#39;ve been following me for way back, you&#39;d know how I love the apieu cica gel and id say this is somewhat at par with it.

Both of them works great for damaged &amp; acne prone skin. Not only do i find it very helpful in calming redness, but also would help a lot during recovery and for long term supplementary skincare (cos its good for soothing, hydrating and strengthening skin barrier)

It&#39;s just quite small, I think i need a bigger bottle of this haha

If you&#39;re currently having aging or sagging skin this might actually just be the one for you. This firming concentrate is packed with 20 plant extracts (also known as Galbol 90) is super non greasy yet gives the perfect hydration that promotes healthy skin tone and tighten facial contours.

Unlike your usual serums, it&#39;s actually suggested to be mixed with moisturizers - a pump or 2 would just be perfect either AM or PM routine.
