Tips on how do I get an acne free face

Hello ladies! 
Today I'm gonna share some tips about how do I maintain a smooth and acne free skin ! 
Last year my face is very very very bumpy with full of red dots, small acne , big acne and large pores! 
Even foundation can't really cover well  :(  
(well of course, make up will make it worst . If you encounter such problem it's good to let your skin rest and keep clean until it recover) 
My worst face . One year ago . 

Tried a lot of different acne /combination skin care but none of them cure my problems. 
Until 
.
.
.


1) the suitable product for our skin!


Step 1 
CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Foaming Facial Cleanser cleans skin and washes away problem-causing dirt, oil, and make-up to help skin stay clean and healthy. The rich lather is oil-free and gently removes dirt and oil without over-drying and leaves skin clean and refreshed.

Step 2
CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Oil-Control Toner for Sensitive Skin contains salicylic acid acne-fighting medication that treats and helps prevent pimples.






Step 3 
CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Moisturizer combines oil-free moisture with a proven acne-fighting ingredient. It can help to moisturize dry skin while treating and helping to prevent breakouts. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.


When I have acne problem the first thing appeared in my mind is Clean&Clear , 
I used it all the time while during my secondary school for 5 years!
 after collage my pimples is getting lesser & lesser probably hormone problem. 
and last year suddenly acne attack me again , straight away went to guardian get Clean&Clear products, it helps to clear your skin, prevent future breakouts and keep your skin looking healthy with our acne treatments. It took around 2 to 3 weeks to see the improvement of my skin.
best of all the price is very reasonable & I can get it anywhere :D 

2) Be happy & rested !!!!


Do something you like, you enjoy, you interested! 
people nowadays from 8am work until 6pm , dinner, shower and go to bed. 
where is your hobby? 
I like to hang out with friends , I like to listen music and movie ! 
-The sleep hormone melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain during hours of darkness and is switched off at dawn by the bright light of day. 
It helps you to sleep and regulates your body clock. 
-If you ignore your natural biological day/night rhythms by staying up very late, jetting across time zones, or working night shifts, you may pay the price with an out-of-synch body clock. Fatigue, lack of energy, skin problem , lapses in memory and concentration are typical symptoms.
Stress causes hormones to fluctuate and your body to produce extra sebum (oil), which can lead to acne. Stress can often also trigger you to eat worse and sleep less—both of which can contribute to making your acne worse. However, no need to stress more! You’d be surprised at how dancing around your room or laughing really hard with your best friend can help stress melt away.


3) drink lots of water!!!!!! 

Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good. Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. 
"Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration,But once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneystake over and excrete excess fluids.
You can also help "lock" moisture into your skin by using moisturizer, which creates a physical barrier to keep moisture in.


4) Fruits & vegetables !!!


with lots of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is also a super antioxidant. It is needed for a strong immune system, radiant skin and helps blemishes heal properly. The best sources are blackcurrants, blueberries, broccoli, guava, kiwifruits, oranges, papaya, strawberries and sweet potatoes.
my favourite is broccoli & melon! 

Above is my tips on how to maintain an acne free face ! 
Hope it helps ! :D

Iqueen wrapping mask ex REVIEW The NEW concept mask from Korea

Hello ladies! 

Sorry for MIA(missing in action) for almost 2 weeks because a new born baby is in the house yo! 
actually I took all this picture's almost a month ago, but not time to edit :( 

Finally!
Thanks to Muffinbeauty.com and I had a chance to try out this special mask from Korea.

What is IQueen Wrapping Mask EX? 
IQueen Wrapping Mask EX is specially formulated facial mask, 
It is a peel off type mask, film and gel with water. New concept mask of skin adhesive film.

- Anti Wrinkle
- Whitening
- Pore Tightening
-Remove Powderly Dust 

1 box contains 5 pcs masks



each of the mask came with Step 1 & Step 2. 

Step 1 : Power Lifting Serum (7g) 
The serum is kinda thick but absorb very fast into my skin. I don't feel any lifting or tighten yet. 

HOW TO USE :
1, Apply the serum evenly on the face (use 1.5g ONLY!) 

But, how do I know i get the correct g? 
so I just agak-agak la 
I dint read the description properly and I apply ALL on step 1 -_-'' 
so I have to open another mask to get the serum for the following step. 

Step 2 : Adhere the film onto the face

I thought it was a normal cotton mask or what. 
When I open I was shocked ! 
why there's a booklet in it?! 
where is my mask? 

the mask is in the booklet ... 

the material is something I never seen nor touch before! 
I doesn't know how to describe the texture , very thin, very light , something like plastic?


with a small tiny little holes on it 

Step 2 : Apply the rest of the serum evenly on the soluble film (use 5.5g) 
pardon my eye bags, look damn huge here lol

use the remaining serum apply on the film again. 
within few mins magic happened!!! 
I can feel the film is shrinking ! It's so amazing & new to me!


after 20minutes just peel it off from bottom .
Try to tie or pin up every single baby hair you have,
 because if stick into the film is kinda hard to remove. Ouch !

tada! 

after the film shrunken it become harden and the small holes are gone. 
Incase you're wondering will the mask pull out whiteheads and blackheads as well?
 the answer is no. haha. 


Before & after
I felt my skin is tighten & firmer , but it dint shown in picture. 
I guess the most obvious part is it does clam down my red skin & fairer . 
I guess this mask is more suitable for women who 25yr old and above,  who have wrinkles & big pores. 

hope you like my review! 
thanks for your time ;D

Love,
ValerieYan

CETTUA is targeted to the teenager and young generation. In this inspiration, Cettua slogans were made to ‘Clean & Simple’ and
‘More Beautiful’ These slogans are expressed Cettua products Lines.
'Clean & Simple' line is designed by pretty & charming pattern. 


'More Beautiful' line is designed by nobleness pattern. 
I believe most of us have been seeing this products everywhere from pharmacy Malaysia , 


this is old packaging.

and today! they had a brand renewal of all their packaging design! 
came with more series of products and interesting functions ! 


Where you can purchase Cettua products :
-Aeon Wellness 
-Caring Pharmacy

Or
Online 

-Lazada


-Goldencorner Face's book Page ,


You may enlarge it to see the details of the catalog :)
They have a lot of interesting new masks !


look at the mask series! packaging so cute so pastel and every mask came with a 'mirror' , 
it said's 'check your skin here' but I assume that's just a decoration and creative way to let users play with ^_^ 

Total 6 types 
-Pore Control Facial Mask -RM9.90 for 2pcs
-Hydrating Facial Mask -RM9.90 for 2 pcs
-AC Clear Facial Mask -RM9.90 for 2 pcs
-Brightening Facial Mask - RM9.90 for 2 pcs
-Anti-Redness Mask - RM9.90 for 2 pcs 
-Anti-Aging Facial Mask  - RM9.90 for 2 pcs 

I need them all !
 Especially anti-redness , pore control and Hydrating mask 

so here's mine. hahahaha! kinda intertaining :p

Not always can see anti red-ness facial mask in the market, kinda rare though, 
and my face always red on cheek and nose, so I decided to try this, 
so here is the result after 20minutes, it does reduce my redness and overall skin tone is even :) 
I think Anti-Redness and Brightening mask is really suitable who going to attend a big event, 
such as wedding dinner, company event . It'll instantly give you brightening and clam down your skin.   



Silky and clear nose strip charcoal 6pcs for RM9.90

it actually managed to pull out some of my stubborn blackheads too. 
Remember to apply toner after nose strip :D

Here is some interesting patch which I don't see much from market too, 
Hot Body design patch - 6 sachets for  RM59.90
and 
Leg Relax Patch 2 patches for RM8.90 

I've tried the hot body design patch , just stick to the place that you concerned , 
for some part no matter how we exercise also can't get rid of the fats , this should do the trick, 
for uppermost delivery of active ingredients , leave the patch for minimum 4 hours to 8 hours maximum :)

as for leg relax patch is suitable for people who have sore/tired leg after a while day of wearing high heels .
a MUST have item to relax and provide soothing comfort for the tired legs, herbal oils will revitalise your skin while menthol and camphor will cool and reduce swollen areas. 



Half Moon Firming Eye Patch 5 pairs for 18.90

and 

Half Moon Brightening Eye Patch 5 pairs for 23.90

it contains DPHP help to reduce and control fine lines around your eye areas, DPHP makes your dry skin feel moisturise , It can be use for eye, cheek and even forehead ! 


Overall the packaging is simple yet cute and most importantly price is very reasonable too, 
after the new packaging I think is much more nicer and attractive :) 

Hope you like my review! 

Love,
ValerieYan
