Organic Blessed Soaps

Where skincare is concern, most people would restrict mainly on face, but we shouldn't be neglecting the rest of our body.

To me, choosing a body cleanser is very important.  There are too many soaps in the market that are petroleum based with thickeners that block pores.  We also don't want synthetic fragrance, colors, parabens and chemicals that may cause health risk in long term.

Nature's Glory, Singapore's Health Pioneer retail in organic products proudly launched Blessed Soaps.  This is our first home grown, NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia) certified organic liquid soaps.

BLESSED stands for: Balance, Less dry, Essential, Safe, Silky, Economical, Delay Aging.

All ingredients and processes meet the stringent Organic standards of NASAA Australia and every product bears the NASAA Approved Cosmetics logo.  Mainly Organic Aloe Leaf Juice, Organic Shea Butter Organic Coconut, Olive and Sunflower Oils.

I am having with me Lavender and Tea Tree (and DIY towel bunny, heehee...)

It is moisturising, non-drying with mild pH towards Baby Skin of pH7.8, so it's absolutely comfortable to use without irritation on my aging thin skin.

It's fluid in texture but concentrated for quick, gentle and effective cleaning without blocking pores for maximum nutrient absorption every time I shower.

Lavender Blessed Soap was very relaxing and soothing with organic essential oils and natural lavender aroma.  While I can't be visiting the spa everyday, I gets a daily mini spa treat with this bottle in my hand!

Also, I need to mention that it rinse off very easily with less time and water, fantastic for lazy me!  

Tea Tree is for my active teen boys to treat those little bumps and red pimples on their backs.

Yeah, a mother always choose what's the best for their children!

We need to clean, protect and pamper the skin that envelopes our body and soul, so that it's healthy enough to bring us to all places in the world.  And Blessed Soaps is doing a great job!

Blessed Soaps comes in 5 variants: 

(1) Baby Love Unscented – for babies, children and those with sensitive skin or allergies. 

(2) Citrus Joy for refreshing, uplifting, purifying and invigorating. 

(3) Lavender Peace for calming, relaxing and soothing.

(4) Peppermint Patience for cooling the body and mind.

(5) Tea Tree Kindness for those with skin problems.

The liquid soaps come in 12oz (355ml) @$15, 32oz (946ml) @$30.80 and 1 gallon (3776ml) @$105.   Made in USA. Product of Singapore. 

Available at Nature’s Glory and its online website, www.natures-glory.com, selected NTUC Finest and Extra outlets, selected Watsons and health food stores.

Guerlain Super Aqua-Eye

*sponsored

Had been straining my eyes as a manicurist with many late nights before Chinese New Year.

Puffiness + dark eye circles became my major concern but I have no time for fussy eye care.  I need something EASY, QUICK and EFFECTIVE.

Sephora package came just in time.

The package came looking like a puffy pillow.   Within is bubble wraps protecting my valuable merchandise.

Guerlain Super Aqua-Eye Patch S$173.00

(6 sachets X 2 patches)

Each sachet contains a pair of transparent silicon eye masks/patches.

Guerlain Super Aqua-Eye patches are paraben-free, sulfate-free and phthalate-free.

  I won't compromise on my skincare, it's important that they are reliable and safe.

The patches are cooling, fits all the way to the corner of each eye.  And best of all they are ANTI-SLIP!

The eye patches moisturize, smoothen and decongest the delicate eye area with desert rose flower complex and various ingredients.  The instruction is 10mins application but I left it on about 15mins as the patches were still moist.

After removing the eye patches, I applied makeup immediately.  Most of the fine lines were eliminated, so my eye makeup glided on more smoothly than usual.  Puffiness were greatly reduced too and my eyes looked brighter.

Other eye products from Guerlain which will further enhance the effect of Super Aqua Eye Patches are:

Abeille Royale Up lifting Eye Care and Super Aqua-Eye Serum 

Beauty purchases are really easy, just a click away at online Sephora.

Nu Skin Skincare Review

I had tried 2 products from Nu Skin recently:

AgeLoc Tru Face Esscence Ultra and Tri-Phasic White Radiance Mask

Tri-Phasic White Radiance Mask

Benefits:

* Illuminates skin tone, promoting radiant complexion

* Calms and soothes skin

* Enhance skin softness and pliability essential moisturization

Recommended usage: Twice a week after toner.

Verdict: The thick sheet mask was generously soaked.  Felt soothing on my combination skin with oily T-zone.  It has got a very mild medicated scent which didn't bother.  Skin appears brighter and refreshed after 15mins of application.  I felt that it's a waste to trash it.  So I made full use of it by cutting it into half and benefit my knee caps, heeheehee...

AgeLoc Tru Face Esscence Ultra

Benefits:

* ageLOC Proprietary Blend - targets the sources of aging

* Ethocyn - clinically proven anti-aging ingredient to improve key component of firm skin

* Antioxidant Network - helps protect skin from free radicals

* Helps contour and firm skim for more youthful appearance

* Defines skin around eyes, neck, chin and jawline

Usage: I used it after a toner and before moisturizer.

Verdict: The esscence comes in cute little silver capsules that looks like bowling pins.  Each pin for one usage by twisting it's head off (sounds wicked here lolxx...).  Seemed oily during application but absorbed after less than a minute, can be use as part of skincare regime even before makeup.  Feels like Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules except that the texture is not as thick and slightly less in volume.

I am comfortable with both products, no allergies or side effect after usage.

SkinLab the Medical Spa

*sponsored

Got out of the taxi, stood in front of Wheelock Place, not sure which direction to set my foot ahead, panic as I was absurdly late for the appointment >.<

Was grasping for breath when I arrived at SkinLab the Medical Spa.

The spotless white reception sets a image of SkinLab, being a facial spa with medical aspects.

The kind reception lady offered me hot beverage while I filled up a simple form with my personal particulars including medical history, my facial and body concerns.

After consultation, I was recommended to try SkinLab's Salicylic Acid Peel Facial.

Salicylic Acid Peel Facial (approx. 90 mins S$268)

targets the following skin problems -

·         oily skin

·         acne

·         blackheads

·         whiteheads

·         fine lines

·         premature aging

·         uneven skin tone

* non invasive and no down time

The facial room was spacious and cozy.

Plush firm bed was so perfect to slumber onto, just what's the brand of the mattress!

All facial therapists in SkinLab have a minimum of five years experience both locally and abroad.  I knew was in good hands.

Salicylic acid is one of the most effective ingredients to combat the cause of facial oil, acne and blemishes, as well as providing an excellent rejuvenation addition and alternative to Glycolic.

Salicylic acid is odourless, perhaps was slight itch but it felt ticklish when applied on my face.  Only 10% of acid was used since this was my first time.  Dosage may increase depending on the skin condition on subsequent sessions.

My therapist was skillful yet gentle, giving me pampering facial and shoulder massage which I hope it could go on forever!

The last step of the facial was a mask, followed by toner, ampoule and moisturizer.

Before I left, I topped up my stock of Crystal Tomato (anti-aging and whitening oral supplement) from SkinLab.

I looked at the mirror only when I reached home.  And wow, my face was glowing without grease.  More than 80% of those black heads were gone.  I touched my face, to my surprise, it felt SOOOOOOOOO SMOOTH like a hard boiled egg!

I was only told that the skin will feel smoother, but they didn't tell me it will be this SMOOTH as if I had a total skin lift!

Amazing.

As, I really didn't expect such prominent and visible result with merely one session of Salicylic Acid Peel Facial, I did not take any before and after pics T_____T

So now I understand why Salicylic Acid Peel Facial was introduced as SUPERIOR EXFOLIATE.  It exfoliates not only the skin surface but within the pores too.

Salicylic Acid also gets rid of surplus sebum, bacteria and inflammation from deep inside the pores of the skin, acne elimination indeed, heeheehee...

I am going back soon for another session!

Skin Illuminating Cleansing Oil - COAST To COAST

After a long day outside, reached home, toss shoes and bag away...

Skin care begins with removing make-up....

When removing make-up is like a spa treatment.....

Feeling totally relax as the fingers works in circular motion...

Breathing in the aromatic fragrance from the oil....

With a few splashes of water, not a trace of makeup or grease is left....

Face is thoroughly clean, luminous and glowing!

I am in LOVE with it!

Beautiful and healthy skin reveals, each time I cleanse my face with

SKIN ILLUMINATING CLEANSING OIL (100ml)

S$59.00

Made in Australia, this beauty cum makeup removal oil is enriched with natural ingredients:

* Rose

* Australian Sandalwood

* Orange

* Peru Balsam.

Skin Illuminating Cleansing Oil not only remove makeup and impurities effectively, it also dissolves sluggish skin cells!

I had used cleansing oil from many big brands which are more expensive.

Most of them works well but I have to say, Skin Illuminating Cleansing Oil is my FAVORITE!  The texture is less watery which makes massaging very shiok and that relaxing aroma fragrance is a really pampering!  Most importantly, the texture of my skin is improving each time I use this product.  It's getting more and more glowy, more and more luminous!

Highly recommended if your skin is dull and dehydrated due to late night sleeps or hectic life style.

Skin Illuminating Cleansing Oil works like magic on my skin, hope it works for you too!
