Wedding preparation #4 - Good Skin

Clarisonic is a facial cleanser that have patented sonic technology to remove impurities from pores  - cleansing 6x better than hands 

I have been using Clarisonic for about 3 weeks now and I have to say the result is absolutely remarkable. The instant result truly surprise me, my face is less oily and i really feel the difference.

How to use:
1. Remove make up 
2. Cleanse your face with cleanser/ you can also apply the cleanser directly on the brush head (I will normally go for the first.)
3. Turn on your Clarisonic and gently brush it to your face in small clockwise motion.
4. 20 sec on your T zone / forehead
5. 20sec on your nose and chin area
6. 10sec on each cheek

Note: You will hear a beeping sound on each interval so you know its time to change to another section (20 sec to 1st beep, 20 sec to the 2nd beep, followed by 10 sec each)

This takes less than 1 minute for you to get a clean skin!!

They have interchangeable brush to suit most skin types (normal, sensitive, delicate, deep pore, acne and even body)

I truly recommend this for everyone , be it whether you have good skin or not. Everyone should have a clean skin all the time!

Naruko

Seeing how good the results are after the first product I got from Naruko, I went to shop facial wash from them again.
I got 3 different types of facial wash, all according to different needs (everyday, whitening and oil- control)


The Narnicissus Total Defense AA Foaming wash
It is very gentle and contains a non-irritating formula that it really suits to be an everyday facial wash.

Narcissus Total Defense - AA Foaming Wash

Rose & Botanic Aqua Cubic Foaming Wash
This acts more as a whitening facial wash, i normally use it in the morning.

Rose & Botanic Aqua Cubic Foaming Wash

Tea Tree Oil Out Acne Clay Cleanser
This helps to control oily skin, i tend to use this once - twice a week depending on the skin condition

What i like about this is, it have a duo function (1. facial wash 2. to clean out black pores on your nose)

Steps to clean out pores (after normal facial wash)
1. Squeeze out a quarter sized amount (nickel-sized amount for dry skin)
2. Spread it directly to your nose area (make sure nose is dry) - i like to place it on the T-Zone area
3. You will slowly feel the cleanser harden like a clay, laeve it for 3 minutes
4. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and you will feel the difference!


I have to say that I am still a fan of Naruko products, price is so affordable and results are effective.

My one two three routine

I believe many of you out there have your own daily 1,2, 3 skin care routine (i.e cleanse, tone, moisturize). 

Personally, I think you have to know your skin condition for that day. I will sometime skip part 2 (toner) depending on what I will be doing on that day. If I were to go out the whole day with lots of make up on / when my skin feels very oily, yes, it is recommended that to follow all the 3 steps skin regime as toner can helps clean away whatever your cleanser has left behind  and also minimise pores. But for those days when I have minimal or no make up on, I will skip the toner part and directly moisturize my face after cleansing it

Everyone should see toner more of an optional product and should only be used when you think your skin needs it instead of a necessity to use it everyday.

So, for my so-called 1 2 3 skincare regime, I use Dermalogica Products (I got those for sensitive-skin)


When looking for cleanser, I tend to look for a non-foaming cleanser and this by far is my favourite item from Derma.

Ultracaming cleanser 500ml @ $$113

I like how it comes in a spray bottle instead of the usual bottle where you have to use cotton bud to apply it all over your face. So now you can just spray it on your face and use a clean hand to rub it evenly over your face

Soothing protection spray 250ml @ $76

I got myself two types of moisturizer (Skin Smoothing Cream and Barrier Repair)
Skin Smoothing Cream is more of an everyday use for me

Skin smoothing cream 100ml @ $121

Barrier Repair is a more of like a gel type, it melts easily into sensitized skin and can help repair damage from environmental agression . I use this once a week

Barrier repair 30ml @ $82

I got myself a travel kit size as well

I love Derma products as it does not contain any artificial fragrance or colour which makes it suitable for the sensitive skin I have. Another product on my list of favourite things
