Mother & Son Bonding Moments

I proudly announce that my son Yu Kai is getting manageable :) Hopefully, he will grow up healthy & wise and obedient :) He used to be a difficult little boy who drained my energy and I had to keep up with his fussy & crankiness. For the past week, I spend more time with him as usually my dad will help me to care for him after work. I take over the caring part after work as my dad is in overseas. Amazingly, my little boy has a different behavior now..I am so surprised that taking care of him is no longer draining but it turns out being FUN! From being dislike hassle, now I enjoy every moments with him. Shockingly to say this :- I am constantly looking forward to go home now and I even plan what to do with him after work. 

I am very happy that he is now into Lego building. Starts off with Mega Blocks. He loves stacking and dismantling. Besides running around and be little rascal, he can now sit and play for awhile. Of course, the toys must fascinate him to bind his butt down..hehehe...He can now understand and listen to what I tell him. He is less stubborn and also less fighting back. I strongly believe he happens to be a good boy because I spend more time with him and patience with him. Less scolding him so he is more happy and willing to listen than despise me. He still does some naughty actions that I said no to but the occurance is much lesser now and not that drastic. 

He is way too smart boy that is why sometimes I feel that difficult times with him are because he know what he wants and he is well aware of his surrounding at a very early age. Like a tiger fighting for its' survival :) So happens to be his zodiac that is why he caters some of the tiger's criteria :) Afterall, he is just a simple plain boy who enjoys fun time and wants constant playing. I have faith in my little boy when he starts pre-school that he will excel and definitely will show me another amazing side of him that is hidden in him. I know he will continue to amaze me :) I know and pray hard that he will be an obedient and healthy boy many years to come :)!

I love you my baby Yu Kai!! Muacks Muacks!!

Facial Special Care

Out of so many masks experience, the best and really works on my skin is Silk Whitia Q10 product of Hong Kong - RM55.90 per box with 5 pcs/box - easily available at SaSa. I have scars on my chin and after 1st mask, the scars seem to lighten ALOT. Yes, I do mean ALOT! The outcome is amazing. By using normal skincare regime, the scars will recover but take time for cell renewal. But when you add some special care to your skin, Q10 is best for skin healing or renewal - whatsoever. Conclusion:- I use this mask everyday as the box stated recommended for daily use for best result. So, after 4 applications, some mild scars already fade away and those obvious scars lightens up and also become smaller. For one or two pimples, it expedites the maturing and recovering progress. How can I not love it? From research of Q10 and also told by a close friend that Q10 is for collagen purpose. Very good for wound healing. Must be very true :) Either you consume pills or you use mask. After a week, my skin is almost pimples and scars free. I will not say I will have porcelain skin as I am very much an acne prone skin type but with well maintain and careful using of products, my skin is very much well maintained now.

Additionally, I am using Kose White Mask. It is of black color mask and when it dries off, need to peel it off. If you know how to use, you will love it. Read a few reviews, many dislike because of difficult application plus it hurts during removal time. On my own experience I would say I do not have those experience at all. NONE! Firstly, press out around 2 cm long on your middle and ring finger and spread over forehead, chin, nose and cheeks area avoiding eye and lip area. Continue with 2 cm each time not more. If too much definitely will drip and messy. Application should be thin coverage - meaning just enough to cover skin but not too thick layer. Secondly, when feel tight sensation, is time to peel it off. Before peeling, check every part of the mask to make sure it is dry. Do not leave for too long or too tight. The reason why I said do not apply too thick, is difficult to completely dry so when certain parts already dry and you are waiting for those wet area to dry, you will hurt the over-dry part when you remove it. When you apply just nicely, you will not feel painful during removal. Final tip:- before application, you can use Infinity serum/other range moisturizer on cheeks as cheeks area are less oily. Peeling time will not hurt. NOTE: just apply thin layer of moisturizer.

Recently, I bought Kose Seikkisei Herbal Esthetics mask and Seikisho Exfoliating gel. Promoters of different counters kept asking me to use Herbal mask and I do not know why. They kept saying is good. Since my skin is now stable down, I am afraid of another breakout. But when I voice my concern, they said it actually help pimples skin - eg. they personally had breakouts and pregnant lady had breakouts also used this mask along with Seikkisei Lotion. One of the promoters said it is to cleanse inner deep skin layer while White Mask and Exfoliating gel are for surface impurities, blackhead and whiteheads. I have not used the Exfoliating gel yet, will blog about it when I start using. On the other hand, my 1st experience on Herbal mask was immediately appeared 3 pimples. Not major ones but considered mild. If is not too bad after subsequent days, I will still continue using. Not too sure is it deep cleanse into skin layer so the popping is actually detoxing my skin or what. If this is the stage that I need to endure in seeking healthy skin, I will continue to use as future after proper cleansed I am sure I will have less sensitivity towards pimples breakouts in the future perhaps. Afterall is not that bad as the popping already have pus head so it comes and goes fast.

My Personal Review of Skincare Products - Part 2

If you have been following my blog, I blogged on a skincare review in Sept. I am solely using Kose products for almost 3 months now. I cannot describe how remarkable this products are to my skin. With simple words to describe will be - Magnificent, Superb. Like I said before, each time I was hit with bad skin condition, Kose is the only rescue remedy to my skin. This is my 3rd time returning to Kose regime. Since I am now into my 30s', I am mature enough not to skincare-hop again..hehehe..HOPEFULLY..:) Right from my teens till now, almost 2 decades into using Kose, I think this is the right products for me to settle on.

The Infinity range is superb and really delivers moist into skin. Skin feels comfortably throughout the day. Simple steps - Lotion & Serum. So, is a thumbs-up for busy women on the go. Easily absorb into skin which is good as it can function the benefits as promised in the ad for healthy glowing moist skin. Astringent is not a must but I do use. It is a toner used after serum, for tightening pores so that it can control sebum secretion. Face won't easily oily and can last throughout the day with matte cum radiance skin. The secretion won't be much, just nice to give skin radiance. For night regime, after cleansing will use Clear Force - acts like scrub but it is in liquid form by using cotton to rub against face avoiding eye and lip area - remove impurities - for daily use.

Comparison between Infinity Oil Cleansing Cream and Seikisho Cleansing Oil - I prefer Seikisho cleansing oil because when contact with water, easily wash off as for Infinity oil cleansing cream, when contact with water, still can feel some oiliness on the surface. Pro and con will be these items are for makeup removal or double cleanse purpose. So in long run, in order not to strip skin, best is use Infinity over Seikisho. Since after this step, will use a facial cleanser. For sensitive skin or acne prone skin, best is not to over strip skin. My personal recommendation will be use alternately.

Seikisho facial soap is very good for acne prone skin as it contains an ingredient that curb pimple from forming. Also, during cleansing will remove melanin and other impurities that cause pimple breakouts. Skin feels clean and refreshing after washing. For cleanser purpose, do not wash too long. Allow 30 seconds on skin is sufficient already. Since skin is already cleansed 1st step mention above, remember, do not over strip face skin.

Next, since I am progressing well, I add another bottle into my regime called Moisture Skin Repair - Rice extract. It is known rice water is superb to skin. Therefore, I use this after cleansing face and before lotion. It is just a rice water so it is easily absorb without greasiness or oiliness thereafter. I realized after applying the rice water, subsequent applications are easily absorb into skin and also retain skin moisture. I can see by using this rice extract, scars heal faster. Something like expedite the skin renewal process :)

Previously I am using Laneige dual eye cream. My mom said is nto good to use SPF on eye area since the skin around the eye area is very fragile and thin. SPF is for UV-block so maybe too strong for the eye area skin. As to how true this is I am not sure. So far, there is none eye products that come with SPF or even so, I am sure not many. The infamous Dual eye cream is Day cream comes with SPF 25+ and Night cream without SPF. After using, I do not find anything in particular except my eye area skin feels tight and dry most of the time. So, now I am using Kose Infinity Eye Cream for day and night. It is without SPF and it is rich in moisture neither oily not greasy after application. Skin feels comfy, no longer uptight.

Sunblock is a MUST USE AND HAVE!! It is the step that can help in prevention of skin aging due to harmfulness of UV and other exposure. It also prevent sunburn. For my skin, is easily blushed. So by using sunblock can prevent sunburn when I am out under sun for too long. For dry skin people, by using sunblock can help prevent freckles.
