I suggested to jieying and fang that we should do up a blog entry abut the facial products which we use daily. The girls are so efficient, they have already blogged, so I decided to be a wee bit more motivated and blog too. So here I am at 1.16am, blogging about my facial regime (supposed to wake up like 8am to send annabel to the airport. zzz.
Anyway here goes:
All facial regimes will start of with cleansing, there are many types of cleansers, however I have 2 preferences, cleansing oil and cleansing milk.
I have been using Shu Uemura Cleansing oil for a long time, this is already my 3rd bottle. It cleanses really thoroughly and my face doesnt feel oily.
But of cos being the paranoid I can be, to ensure that I remove all traces of makeup, I double up my cleansing with a milk cleanser. This kickass sized bottle which usually lasts me about 1 year plus. Bought it from my mil. Its made in Italy, usually only beauty salons sells this brand.
About 2-3 times a week I will also scrub my face in an attempt to try and remove any clogs. I currently use 2 different products, depending on my mood. ha.
Kose's exfoliating massage gel is a black gel with scrub beads, the texture is a little gluey and when massaged on face, it produces a very mild warm sensation (to try open pores) and then scrubs out clogs. This is my 3rd tube, love it.
The other one I use is this:
Recommended by makeupstash, so I bought it. only $9.90 from Watson's. The scrub beads are quite a bit and they are of the right size and texture, not too rough. However, my face felt a little too clean (imagine the sound a super clean plate makes, ek ek ek), which has a tendency to make me feel like its dries my face. But overall the feeling is pretty good.
After washing face, of cos have to use toner right? i have 2 toners, 1 from Lauranette (which I dun hv a pict now) and there other is from Laneige.
Really like this toner because it helps to further remove any more traces of makeup (as if never cleanse enough) and also it helps to whitening my complexion.
After toner I will usually use the product which I want to absorb the most first. Since my face is dry, i use the a serum/an essence as a first layer.
I've been using the water bank essence for many many years, i'm currently at my 6th bottle already. I usually use it as a moisturizer before makeup as it gives my face sufficient water to remain supple and yet it is not oily.
Well since I'm preparing for my wedding, in a bid to try to remove any extra facial fats (?!) I'm using Clarins facial shaping cream.
Bestie introduced this to me, and it has worked for her. I've tried it and it has also somewhat worked for me as well. So i'm gg to continue using. Tml i'm gg to transit to buy another bottle since the one at home is finishing and that'll b my 3rd bottle.
I'm not really a fan of eye creams cos I dun really have eye bags, dark eye cirles, fine lines around my eyes (hao lian hao lian). I do thank god for it but of cos I dun exactly take it 100% for granted. Occasionally, I do use eye creams.
I'm currently using this from SK-II. Take a wee bit more time to get absorbed and will feel a lil like sticky, but I dun really care cos I dun use often and I didnt want to waste money to buy another eye cream as they are easily the smallest bottled/tubed item and yet they are pricey.
There is one other extra item that I use occasionally too.
This vitamin C booster serum can help remove dead skin cells and help to reveal blemish free, luminous and youthful skin. I've been using it and the effects are pretty good though I used them only a couple of times. Perhaps I should start using it more regularly. Bot 2 bottles of it during a laneige sale, it was like 70% of its original price.
At the end of the whole facial regime, before I sleep, I will always use a night cream.
I'm currently using Dr LaurAnne's product White Night. I've used this since I started gg for facial cos its actually a night cream for spotted skin, It will help to push some oil out from the face while feeding water to the face. After applying the face looks oily but the texture is actually very smooth and not oily at all.
Well last but not least, on top of every girls' regime is Mask! Of cos I do use paper mask like my beauty diary etc. However on less lazy days I will usually prefer to do cream masks and wash them off.
Again, this is another product from Dr LaurAnne. The oxy mask will help to feed oxygen to the face and whitens the face at the same time. Face is usually very supple after the mask and I always look like snow white after that. Super uber fair.

As per Jieying's suggestion, next entry. Makeup Regime! Stay tuned~~
