My skin

I am sure the K-pop wave hits the shore of many countries. The one that hit me most is not their singing nor dancing but their porcelain flawless skin. 

I have Asian tanned skin! 

So when I was young I believe my skin will turn porcelain white too... young & naive - thanks to Michael Jackson cause he makes me believe it CAN. So when I get older & wiser, I know the truth.

Like other teenagers, my skin tends to become oily & causes acne (luckily not those serious type - pheewww) My skin care routine is simple - wash, toner & moisturiser. Once in a blue moon my mum will drag me for facial treatment where the beautician will draw the impurities out from my skin - (Ooouch)!

Early 20's my routine will be as following

Step 1: Wash
Step 2: Toner
Step 3: Serum (Mainly for Hydration)
Step 4: Eye gel & Moisturiser

Occasionally scrub and apply facial mask once or twice a month. 

Mid to late 20's my routine similar like above except additional remove make-up step at the right of the beginning. So my routine time from less than 1 minute to 3 minutes then 5 minutes ...

Once I hit 29, one day I sat in front of the mirror and start reviewing my skin. Yes ... fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skintone, pimples without head & more. Oh dear what I have done. That's where I found that I have been using expensive skin care but not effective for my skin, my laziness cause my skin to become lacking. I tried those brands at the first few pages in the our daily girls magazines. You name it - I tried it. Oh yes I usually bought the whole skin care line whenever I wanted to try. It cost me a BOMB!

So I dedicated myself & my pharmaceutical besties to search for the right skin care product. We tested most of those products advertised in the magazines & sold over the counter. To our dismay, mainly product contains a lot of chemical which is harmful to your skin.        

At the right moment there is this K-pop wave hits our shore. Then we met some friends while they share with us about their country facial products. This is where it hits me & my bestie why not give it a try. We tried & tested their high range to low range products. To our surprise it contains way lower chemicals compare those where I spent thousands and mainly of the products uses natural ingredients & effective. I started to try on my skin. 

After years of experimenting, I decided to share with you all on the products which I will post later in my blog. So stay tune sisters!
