ZHA!!

whitening products are always in a woman's list especially in Asia yet i would set my priority for hydrating products.I can tolerate myself not to be Snow White but i can never stand a dry and skin peeling face! even when i went to Shanghai last year end, i brought along all my masks and applied them every night to make sure my skin wont be dehydrated by the dried weather over there.

there are many affordable yet effective hydrating products nowadays such as hada labo and juju aquamoist. yet someone (like me) sometimes thinks that it is a waste to pour the toner onto the cotton pad and pad all over your face. because after that your cotton pad is still left with some toner that is unabsorbed. my heart goes pain when looking at the residue but cant do anything with it. yeah yeah poor people like me wont waste even the last drop of the toner LOL.

Hence, one of the hydrating products i love the most is hydrating gel. Hydrating gels are more for giving the skin "water content" to plump up the skin.Besides that, hydrating gel is much lighter in term of texture thus less creamy and sticky too. the hydrating gel that i have been using is from Za. you can easily get it from watsons or guardian and the price is affordable too! it's only around RM30 or so during promotion. =)

of course you cannot compare this to the Clinique's one as that would be much more expensive. but with the price i paid, i think it is quite a bargain. i apply it at night before sleep and i could still feel the softness on my face the next morning. this hydrating product is also one of the star products of Za if not mistaken. for a better result, you can store this gel inside the refrigerator! fyi, it helps minimising the pores by storing your toner or hydrating gel in the fridge. no jokes!

my bottle of hydrating gel is going to finish soon. im still thinking to buy back the same product or give neutrogena's new product Hydro boost water gel a try. But that will be at least RM20 bucks more expensive =(

steps to a fairer skin

it's saturday again =)
weekends for me are meant for relaxing at home most of the time, putting all the problems aside and enjoy the temporary peacefulness i have.
during weekend, i also love to take my own sweet time to do mask at home.
i always cant live without mask but sometimes after you have been busy for the whole day, you probably just too lazy to apply one and straight go to bed after the everyday skin care process.but if you want to have a fairer skin, maybe you should try this out more frequently

the mask im using is pearl barley and mung bean mask powder 绿豆薏仁面膜粉
it's easily available at any traditional chinese shop all around Malaysia ;)

pearl barley and mung bean mask powder has the strong effect on whitening,be it by internally or externally. to enhance on the effect, i will use milk together with the mask powder. last year when i went to sunway lost world with friends, i got tanned badly and had sun burned
yet i applied this mask everyday for 1 week and after that 2-3 times a week, i really became fairer! besides that, many girls have been giving this good review that this mask can cure pimples! hmm , i seldom experience break out as im actually blessed with a quite good skin so i dont know how efficient it is. hehe

it's really an impossible task to be fairer in just 1month time but i did. =)

First of all , you need a set of mask tools. it's simply available at any beauty shops. in Ipoh you can get it from the shop opposite Jusco watsons
while for KL, you can get it from the two most competitive beauty shops in sg. wang. (neh, the two that always have 50% discount one =p). this set of tools cost me RM6 after 50% discount. tehee. cheap right? =D

okay, let's get us started. first of all, put in two scopes of mask powder with 1 scope of milk. stir it thoroughly and there you go, ready to apply it on your face! isnt it easy? but i know, it still consider to be troublesome if compare to other cloth-mask. but hey, it's much cheaper and it's something natural that's lying on face, not any chemical extraction of natural sources! you can also use it as body scrubbing! it works in whitening too! but i reckon it takes a longer time than the face =)

does your heart get itchy? maybe you should try on it instead!! =D
