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.
