I have read that apple cider vinegar as toner or spot treatment works well in clearing acne, so I was wondering has anyone tried it before/what do you think about it? 🤔

Apple Cider Vinegar for Skin

Hi, I am wondering is it necessary to apply moisturizer before sunscreen? Can I skip moisturizer and use sunscreen? 😆

Moisturizer & Sunscreen

I still have not received my product since July. Does anyone have the same situation? or is it only just me? I got a little panic because deadline is literally just days away. 😭

Haven't receive my TIAM product

What do you do with your empties?

Recently I came across L'occitane Recycling Programme | Big Little Things and it is only then I find out that you can redeem free products just by returning your empties. The best part is that they accept empties of any beauty brand!

Do you know any other brands that reward you for recycling your empties? 🤓💚♻️

[ Niacinamide + Chaenomeles Sinensis Serum ]

Infused with 2% Niacinamide and 93% Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract, it brightens up dull and unbalanced skin while keeping the skin moist. 

Key Ingredients:
🤎 Niacinamide: lightens skin by inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes & regulates sebum production for balanced skin.
🤎 Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract: rich in Vitamin C and Flavonoids which can help achieve a smooth, radiant skin appearance.

I use it in my PM routine. It has a transparent, light brownish colour. Texture-wise, it feels lightweight and watery on the skin, without any sticky or greasy residue. I have to say 2% Niacinamide actually feels better and gentler on my skin compared to those with higher percentage. 

I experience no irritation at all, and surprisingly it works well instead! As I personally find it effective in reducing the oiliness on my skin as well as my annoying breakouts. I can see how it supports my skin barrier, and my skin definitely feels healthier upon application. 

I love how this serum helps tackle almost all of my skin concerns and I really hope I can eventually get rid of my stubborn acne scars over time.

❣️ This serum is free from animal testing and 7 harmful ingredients: paraben, artificial fragrance and colours, alcohol, mineral oil, surfactants and allergens.

[ Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ ] 

Relief Sun is a lightweight and creamy type organic sunscreen that is comfortable on skin. 

Key ingredients: 

🍚 Rice extract 30% + Grain fermented extracts

- Rice and grain fermented extracts are rich in vitamins B, C, E, amino acids, and minerals which help to moisturize dry skin and comfortably calm the skin.

It feels like a light moisturizing cream, which makes it easy to spread and absorb into the skin, super smooth, without leaving any sticky, heavy or slippery residue even with multiple application. 

I usually apply it evenly over the face and neck at the last step of my morning skincare routine. It does not cause any irritation to my skin. I love how it gives a soft and moist finish with a natural glow, without any white cast. Easily become my new favourite sunscreen, without a doubt! 👌

[Derma:B CeraMD Repair Cream ]

It improves moisture, calms itching and irritation, perfect for very dry and flaky skin. It has a mild, non-irritating formula that is quickly absorbed by the skin. Just like the lotion, it is formulated with Neopharm’s patented Adfence-P ™ to help soothe skin itch and also contains a combination of ceramide and panthenol, Cerapanthe-some, to aid in strengthening the skin barrier and also to help active ingredients be absorbed more quickly.

Texture-wise, it feels rich and luxurious. It is a fragrance-free cream. Although it is super thick, it leaves a light coating on the the skin, without any stickiness or greasiness, for continuous protection and moisturization. I apply it after shower and when my skin feels drier that day. A little of it goes a long way. It provides extra, long-lasting moisturization and protection compared to the lotion.

All in all, both the lotion and the cream are amazing! Not only are they safe for all skin types, they protect the skin from external damages without causing any extra irritation.

[ Mangosteen Water Drop Sun Stick SPF 50+ / PA++++ ]

Smart sun stick that not only blocks UV rays but also provides cool moisture to the skin exposed to sunlight.

This is my first-time trying sun stick and I am loving it already! The packaging looks so yummy! I have to say, this is my favourite product among this range. This sun stick is gentle enough for my oily, sensitive skin and I love how it offers protection with such an easy way. Travel-friendly size, it is really easy to carry around and apply + reapply. 

It glides on smoothly, the design/shape is great as I can touch every area of my face with this sun stick. It absorbs well into the skin too. I feel comfortable wearing it at any time of the day (daytime), no matter I am sweaty 💦  or dry. Moreover, it gives a firm look and a natural glow that does not feel sticky or greasy, which feels just nice.

[ Mangosteen True Balancing Facial Cream ]

The gentle cream provides the skin with moisture and healthy glow through maintaining the water and oil balance. 

💜 Soft hyaluronic acid formula offers necessary moisturization to your skin.
💜 The SUPER-SQUCERA complex helps to keep the skin moisturized by restoring the healthy water and oil balance.

It has a gel-like texture which makes it easy to spread across and absorb into the skin. Although it feels a bit heavier on the skin, compared to the emulsion, this cream is not sticky or greasy at all. I find this cream soothing and pretty hydrating, and it seems to provide a layer of protection on my skin.
