My Personal Review of Skincare - Part 4

I have been blogging on mainly branded skincare all these while. Surprisingly, in this blog I am going to write about cheap & effective drugstore products :) My maid's contract was up, so I have to care for my son solely myself which leaving me lesser time on 'me time'. So, I no longer spend time on thinking what to lavish on or what to try on. Honestly, I save alot..hehehe...Since, I am mostly mothering around my son, I am always hot and sweaty due to our humid weather. Plus, during his nap time only I have my 'me time'. Therefore, I prefer to speed up my shower & facial regime time so that I can sit back and enjoy a cuppa hot coffee over papers and TV :)

Dear readers, If you have been following my review (if not, pls do so :)), you all know that I am constantly on full skincare range - cleaner, toner, serum, moisturizer, UV. It has been a month I am into bedak sejuk (rice cooling powder), the one olden days women were using. I use it everynight until now. Good for oil controlling and heal pimples fast. It has anti-iflammatory/anti-bacterial function, therefore, pimples tend to be less redness/visible - dries off and recover without scar. Skin is smoother and fairer. I used to wake up with oily face but not anymore.

I always bathe in the afternoon. Naturally, will wash my face thrice. Let me into detail on my 3 times washing habits. I realize that people thought I have real bad skin so much so I need to wash it 3 times :) Some thought too oily if I do not wash in the afternoon. Well, morning & night I will shower, obviously will run through my face. For noon session, I bathe - with hair and body shampoo. So it happens 3 times for facial cleansing for my case. I used to apply skincare regime during noon either 3 or 4 steps, depending whether I want to use UV or not. These days, I find it hassle so prefer simple step. Since I can use bedak, so i tried Hazeline Snow Moisturizing Cream (yellow cap). After wash, just apply this cream.

Voila! extraordinary experience. It really lives up to its name 'Snow'. The texture is special as it is semi hard. Have to dip my fingers into the jar - which feels like pressing against snow texture feeling. Dab on cheeks, forehead, nose & chin (depending on your like whether to apply 50cts or pea size), then smooth/blend well around face to avoid whitish look. It sort of evaporate/absorb fast leaving matte powdery finish with smooth & soft touching. It actually last whole day even sweat or oily your skin is, you can see at the end of the day, your skin glows a little. Meaning not oily shine type. I always apply on face and neck.

Morning I still use my Biotherm skincare. This is the only skincare brand I strongly suggest to people to use. So far, I have good result from this brand and also the facial is superb. This is the only brand that controls my redness and breakouts. Bedak & Hazeline Snow are good on skin and during breakouts, they are the best remedy for pimples. As working adult, I do not need to worry on breakout days as the pimples are not visible and not as bad as previously experienced. Just dab more bedak over night, I wake up to shrinking pimples with no inflamme. I no longer need foundation to cover up my imperfection :) Coz, the imperfections now have been under-control resulting a more natural look :)

Hazeline Snow Moisturizing Cream - small jar RM7.20, big jar RM10.20
Bedak Sejuk - less than RM5 per bottle.
