Food Therapy for Skin - Part 2

Skinfood products are not pricey, therefore, one easily affordable to splurge on it. Another bonus point I like on this brand is it caters on women's needs very well. I tried the Argan Oil Hair mask, either use it as mask for 5mins or as conditioner. Me, the usual lazy woman :) use it as conditioner and is already more than enough to see it's outcome. Miraculously, once again tame my frizzy hair. Now, my hair is soft. I tried before hand and foot masks but I do not really like it hence, no visible result. I think need daily use plus apply hand and foot lotion to achieve visible outcome, something pro-long term just like facial regimen for day and night as well as in long term to see results. On my last shopping spree in the shop, I came across Neck cream..hehehe..is my next to buy list. When my existing shampoo and body wash finish, I too will invest on Skinfood. Give this brand a chance and also give myself a chance to see whether or not it will make me fall in love with it all over again :)

Mom got me Hand Essence..something like hand cream. Not moisturizing neither oily enough for over night use. But I find my hand not that dry during the day. 1st day, I did not see any visible result, additionally, I woke up with quite dry hand. Perseverance, as I love its skincare so much so that I make myself to keep applying every night for the last few nights, then I realize during day, my hands are not easily thirsty :) I will recommend to use it as a go as it is not oily but for caring tip, preferably creamy type. My mom suffers eczema for the past 1 year and no brands even upmarket brands can she use. So, she resides on doctor's cream and medication. After a year, I kept persuade her to try Skinfood as it is so mild and gentle to sensitive skin and yet revive and infuse fruits and vegetables nutrients into skin for healthier skin, for eg. me a living example :), finally, she gave in and tried it out eventhough she has lesser faith in lower range group of skincare as she is the upmarket type of person. Well, after a week use, her skin is still calmed. A good sign and news to her and me as she prefers to apply skincare type of person. As for me, a sigh of relieved as my recommendation works :) According to my mom, she said her skin no longer feel itch from drying. Of course, she is using carrot range..

I super duper love Peach Sake Silky Loose Powder. It really controls oil and when apply, just blend well with skintone and the skin as well. No visible sign of make up but skin is matte just as I long for but I could not get this effect or outcome from other brands loose powder. Amazing! At the end of the day, my skin is glowing healthily from a bit of oil producing, I start my day with fresh and matte skin. I cannot resist this powder is a must to me. At times, I will use CC cream. Skinfood has only 1 type of CC cream. It caters for fair skin than darker skin as it is only in 1 shade which is lighter shade. Lucky me, I am fair so blend well with me. I used to start off with a pump for a face but since my skin is getting healthier, I now only use half pump. Usually I puff my face after sunblock or CC.

Recent haul - Base & Top Coat Mascara, Treatment Lash Root & Lash Mascara, quarts eyeshadows and eyeliner pencil tip brush type. Have not tried the treatment yet but I like the base & top coat. Indeed keep my lash color intact. I used to have some color stain on undereye and my eyes uncomfortable maybe some color smudge off during long day wear. With this, my eyes area is clean and so far no eye itch plus I can feel my lash is in position from morning till now and it is not droopy. So, yes another product in my satisfied list. I am not a makeup person nor an expert so eyeliner is a challenge to me. However, this one is significant. I do not have glitch with it. At first I was afraid I would spoil my make up but it turned out to be well grip and application is swift. Definitely, a re-purchase.

Mom has a sensitive lips. We both use lip balm Milk. So far no complain from mom and as for me, well I have dry chap lip. It greatly helps. So, my lipstick application has become nice pout :) No flaky skin appearance. I bought its Pomegranate Lipstick Matte berry color. Usually, my lips will not cooperate with matte lipstick eventhough i like using as outcome will be even drier lips and cause color tone ugly. But not in this case, use it by its own, still moist and yet matte. Since, I bought the lip balm Milk, I have been applying the balm 1st before the lipstick. So far so good.

CONCLUSION FOR SKINFOOD PRODUCTS:- NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW SATISFIED I AM. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND I FINISHED USING THE SAMPLES AS WELL AS FREE GIFTS SETS WITHOUT WASTING THEM. I WILL DEFINITELY STICK TO THIS BRAND IF MY SKIN CONTINUES TO BE IN SUCH CONDITION OR EVEN BETTER GETTING HEALTHIER. I AM A SATISFIED SKINFOOD USER!!!

Food Therapy for Skin - Part 1

I came across Skinfood brand unintentionally and I got hook since then. I usually will try upmarket brands such as those I blogged about in my previous blogs. Those Guardian/Watson brands I tried before, were not satisfying. On the other hand, it never crossed my mind to try shop base brand. Skinfood is the economical personal care line from hair to toe products. A Korea brand and in Korea, one easily finds the shops here and there. The products are not expensive and some may say it targets teenagers. I am in my 30's and in my life time, never 1 brand can sustain, needless to say provide me with healthy skin. This is the only brand that I blog about after 2 months usage and still counting. No brands can make me love their masks which can give me motivation to do it daily. I find doing masks a passion daily and it motivates me to do different kinds of masks everyday. I like sheetmasks and wash off masks. Especially the 5 mins wash off masks - Fresh Aloe Pack & Acai Berry - no matter how late I am, I will still use either one of these. I have tried all sheetmasks from Skinfood except anti-wrinkle or more for matured targeted skin (because usually for matured skin, the essence or products are tend to be oily and rich). I dislike gel masks. I find it difficult to adhere whereby sheet type is much more comfortably enjoyable :) So, I have been replenishing my sheetmasks frequently - Fresh Apple, Everyday Mask (consist of Blueberry, Tomato, Nuts, Green Tea, Broccoli), Peach Pore Sake & Royal Honey. Usually I will buy a few sheets of each masks to last me a month as I do it daily. In between, I will use wash off alternately. Recent haul - Cucumber wash off mask (soothing), Rice Mask (scrub), I tried those last night. Each 15mins wash off type. Cucumber indeed cooling and soothing plus the infusion of rice mask, I woke up with hydrated and smooth skin. Use the scrub 1st then followed by cucumber mask. 

I love all the masks is because I find they calm and hydrate my skin well. Fresh Apple and Peach Sake are targeted for pore/oil control skin. They indeed control oil very well. On top of that, refreshes skin. Additional products will be Egg White nose, forehead & jaw black/whitehead strips, Egg White T-Zone & U-Zone Serum & Fresh Apple Serum. So far, I had tried one time strips and indeed removed alot of my blackheads. As for the serums, I am using everyday - Morning - Fresh Apple serum, Night - T & U-Zone serums - for controlling oil and prevent breakouts. Voila! Indeed so. Now, I only pop 1 or 2 pimples during menses but it recovers within 3 days. Even so, I can feel that the pimple only on the surface of the skin layer unlike before where I could feel the pimples were from deep layer of the skin. That is why I know I finally found the right skincare products for my skin which gives me healthy skin!! 

My intention of walking into Skinfood shop was to get a pack of sheetmasks as a gift to my BFF. That walked never made me look back since...I checked out the brand and one thing let to another...I invested on it when my BFF asked me, "I like this brand is because is good or because it is natural products source from food?". I have given my faith into Skinfood and it repays me with motivation and healthy skin indeed. I am using the carrot range - cleanser, toner, emulsion & sunblock - outcome is calmed my skin redness and maintain well with less sensitivity plus ph balance as well as keep my skin hydrated. This range is organic because the range are derived without 7 chemicals in it (please refer www.theskinfood.com.my for more info)Night regime is Sparkling Apple series - toner, night cream. I like this range as it refreshes my skin without feeling burden to my pores and the night cream is matte so I wake up with less oily skin.

Basically, all the products I use, absorb 100% into my skin without leaving me feel burden or a layer over my facial skin. This is something I admire on this brand and also something I have been looking for. I have a very problematic skin that does not blend well with too greasy products. In my previous blogs, I did mention before I have red dots on my left cheeks, gotten during my Nutox expedition :). Well, other brands can never cure it, only make it come and go and come and go until Skinfood cure it. Now, my cheek is back to fair rosy cheek :) This is the only products that I apply ample moisturizer and yet without breakouts. Amazing! Another mega finding is all the products just drinks up by my skin without feeling anything on the surface and it quietly works its way to give me healthy skin from within the layers.
