[Sponsored] Curél Sebum Care

I have combination skin type which results in excess oily skin or super dry skin. And ever since I've changed my job, my skin got so oily that I have to wash my face in the mid day to prevent yucky feeling on my face. And with the recent change in lifestyle and diet, my face has excess sebum secretion. My face looks shiny now and oily. Plus, I'm super scare of getting pimples. So when I'm selecting facial skin care products, I am very concern about oil control.

Moisturising and replenishing the skin is a must but many of us will forget that they do not remove excess oil serum off the face. I also face the same issue as I will tend to focus on products that replenish H2O and moisture my face as I've tried oil control products which contains T3 before. But it resulted worse breakouts for me.

To control excess oil serum, the right product for sensitive skin is required,if not the excess sebum generated will deteriorate as skin gets more alkaline, turning into irritants to cause flare-ups within the skin layers. I've been through that before and don't wish to go down the same path as sebum issues are hard to solve and it takes time. And excess sebum is also an aggravator of skin sensitivity that results in breakouts and sometimes some of these breakouts don't go away for years. :( 

Thankfully Curél, Japan’s No. 1 brand for sensitive Asian skin, introduces a new skincare range specially formulated for sensitive and oily or combination skin types.

This range comprise of a Foaming Wash, Lotion and Moisture Gel, which are the basic essential needs to properly manage both skin sensitivity and sebum secretion.

This range has dual functions for sensitive and oily skin:

1. Strengthen skin barrier function to protect skin against external irritants
Protects and replenishes ceramide, an essential component of skin, for a more resilient barrier against external irritants.
2. Oil and acne control Regulate sebum secretion at the source

To strengthen and control sebum secretion, the range needs only 3 products, simple as ABC.

Step 1: 

Sebum Care Foaming Wash

The form, two pumps

Ultra fine foam with sebum solvent to thoroughly cleanse dirt and excess sebum while protecting ceramide.

Usage: 

1. Apply two full pumps directly onto wet skin. 

2. Do not lather. 

3. Gentle massage and rinse off thoroughly.

Step 2: 

Sebum Care Lotion

The Lotion, colourless and scentless

Non-sticky formula prepares skin for better absorption of moisturiser / essence that is used after the lotion.

Usage: 

1. After cleansing, apply lotion gently over the whole face. 

2. Apply twice daily, in the morning and at night.

Step 3: 

Sebum Care Moisture Gel

The Gel, thicker in texture but not oily. 

Liquid based gel spreads easily for speedy absorption into deeper layers of skin without leaving skin sticky.

Usage: 

1. Apply three to four pumps gently over the entire face 

2. Apply twice daily, in the morning and at night.

So I've decided to try this product out for 2 weeks. And here's the photos of before and after 14 days of usage.

Before using the product, you can see that my pores are visible and big. Not only that, my skin looks dull and lack of radiance. After 14 days, I can feel the change in my skin as the pores have reduced and my skin looks firmer and healthier. This range does not leave my skin too dry or sticky. Not only that, it is scentless, definitely a good product range for those who are sensitive to products that have smell too (Like a friend). I am definitely sticking to the sebum care range from now onwards.

I like how quickly the lotion and moisture gel absorbs into my skin right after application, unlike some other lotions and gel that requires a few minutes before the product is fully absorb by my skin. Save me the time to wait before applying my other skincare products. A great investment for excess sebum control.

[Sponsored] BeautyBiotics Dream Cream Exfoliating Jelly

Sometimes I always wonder how to remove dead skin cells without deep cleansing my face. I have sensitive skin which reacts badly towards deep cleansing. But now I do not have to worry. Beautybiotics, demonological cosmetic, have a great product for sensitive skin.

Introducing you their Dream Cream Exfoliating Jelly, which is gentle for sensitive skin. *hooray*
So why are they good for sensitive skin?

Exfoliating Jelly is a dermatologically formulated gentle exfoliating peel that helps unclog pores, remove impurities and dead skin to enhance your skin’s absorption of nutrients. It contains fruit derived AHA + BHA enzymes that gently exfoliates skin to restore clarity, brilliance and radiance.

It actually uses natural ingredients, which are good for skin and allows skins to absorb the nutrients faster. That is something that I definitely need now to get radiance skin before my big day ~~~

Jelly form

It is easy to apply as the exfoliating jelly is scentless. All I have to do is to ensure that my face is dry before using it. And I only have to use it twice a week to clean my face, this is easy enough for me to keep up in my beauty regime.  In one application I can see the effects of it.

Before

Can see that my face has a red patch and looks dull.

After

In just the first usage, I can feel that my face is cleaner and looks more radiant. Its been quite some time since my face looks this radiant after one exfoliation. :p And I can see all the impurities and dead skin exfoliated, something that I won't want to keep on my skin to further clog my pore. I can feel my skin goes dancing in happiness. 

So besides clearing the dirt and restore clarity, BeautyBiotics Dream Cream Exfoliating Jelly also have the following benefits: 

• Removes Black Heads and Dead Skin
• Clears Sebum and Bacteria
• Unclog Pores
• Restores Skin Radiance and Brilliance
• Speeds Up Skin Renewal
• Improve Absorption Of Skincare Products

Definitely a product great for everyone!! But remember to take note that after using this product, your skin will tend to be a little more sensitive to sunlight due to the natural ingredients. A simple step to tackle this problem is to apply sunscreen/sunblock of at least SPF15 or higher and less exposure to sunlight. (: Wells, it isn't a problem for me as I can't leave the house without my sunscreen SPF50.

So where to get this great product? 
BeautyBiotics Dream Cream Exfoliating Jelly is only sold @ Wastons for $43/150ml.
