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

I believed there must be some one who noticed recently a lot beauty bloggers share about this in fb/ instagram .

website  : althea.kr

to celebrate their first week of opening , they have a lot of awesome deals for us,
Today's Daebak Deal (also their last Daebak deal) is the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack Buy 1 Free 1 from http://althea.kr/water-sleeping-mask.

Only from 9/7 - 11/7! 3 days.

 I've placed my order on June 25 and I received on first of July. That was considered fast !
the whole package is pink , pink & pink~ 
it looks super sweet isn't it :P

all the items is in good conditions and none of them are crack or spoiled. 
they box itself is very thick , heavy & good quality . 

so this is my shopping haul from althea ,
Innisfree cream mellow lipstick x 2  - RM33 each
Innisfree capsule recipe pack mask x 3 - RM5 each 
Piolang - 24k gold wrapping mask x 1 -RM65 each
total RM150 . 


Today this post I'm gonna give a short review on this Piolang 24k gold wrapping mask. 
the whole packaging is very heavy because the of the glass jar. 
look high-class too. In Korea this golden mask is getting more & more users , 
why? I'm curious too, that's why I order this mask to try & review. 
it is for firming , whitening, hydration , brightens , clarity up , elasticity , minimised pores .
Basically it sounds like a wonder mask for me. 

the smell is fine , not really heavy . Acceptable . 
the liquid is in golden colour , can you see all the super fine tiny golden dust? 
look so pretty *_* 

A close up .

after 20-25min. 
I just apply a very thin layer and surprisingly I can peel off the whole mask down in perfect shape! 
I thought it's gonna be like koyak here koyak there like normal peeling mask but this was awesome. 
easily peel off .


what I think about this mask? 

-The liquid keep drip off from my mask ( I just applied a thin layer) , so I need to prepare a tissue. 
-I don't see much improvement of my skin after this mask ( or maybe I need to use few more times) . 
- hard to apply evenly . 
- dry up very slow. 

other than this , so far so good. 

Hope you like my review! 

Love,
ValerieYan
