The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil

Image
I got my hands on this cleansing oil when there was a BOGO (buy one get one) running on Amazon. I loved their Rice Water Foaming Cleanser . So, I decided to give this one a try too. INGREDIENTS : Ingredients list taken from official face shop website. PACKAGING :  It comes in plastic bottle with a pump. You will also be provided with a stopper to avoid the pump from pressing while not in use. But is not an ideal packaging for travel. If the stopper somehow gets removed, the oil will spill everywhere in your bag. HOW TO USE: Use it as a first cleanser. Apply it to your dry face and massage in circular motion to dissolve the makeup. Rinse with water and follow it up with a second cleanse(this step is important because, this cleansing oil doesn't emulsify. So it will leave greasy layer even after rinsing with water.) MY SKIN TYPE: I've combination sensitive skin which is also prone to acne. Pros: 👉 It effectively removes Sunscreen, Makeup and Dirt off face. 👉 This cleanser didn&

I wanted to give this facewash a try because, Influencers have been raving about this product  since it's launch.  Personally, I wouldn't gravitate towards any product when every one from influencers community start talking/raving about the same product at the same time. It feels kinda sketchy to me. But as this is a korean brand and also when I wanted to try this product,  it was on BOGO . So I immediately placed an order and got this cleanser along with TFS rice water oil cleanser . Before strating this review, I would like to tell you guys about my Skin Type. I've Combination Sensitive Acne prone skin. Packaging : It comes in a plastic tube with flip-flop cap opening and is leakage free. So it is travel friendly.  Ingredients list :  Ingredients list picture is taken from official the face shop website. My Experience : This product has whipped cream texture and foams really well. You just need pea size amount to wash your whole face and neck area. It instantly brightens

Simple Weekly Routine to Eradicate Blackheads/Whiteheads

 1) Double Cleanse : Double cleanse includes 2 steps. 1) Oil Cleansing & 2) Normal Cleansing. Oil Cleansing is a method of deep cleansing your skin without stripping it off the moisture. I know the name sounds scary, but "like attracts like". Oil binds to all clogging substances on our skin and more, so it's easy to remove dirt, grime, blackheads, whiteheads, makeup & sunscreen. Make sure to massage an oil cleanser into your face for at-least 60 sec paying special attention to the t-zone, nose, chin, forehead between the brows - where blackheads are most likely to appear. Rinse it with water and follow it up with a gentle pH balanced cleanser . 2) Steam: This process will soften the pores . Although, they wont open and close like a trap door, steam or a heated towel will release stubborn hardened sebum and grime from the pores & make them flexible for the following steps. ( We don't recommend steaming your face more than once a week. ) 3) Exfoliate: A

Retinoids has been the talk of the town for quite sometime now. If you haven't heard of them before, Don't worry. You are at the right place now. In this post I will explain you all about what they are, types of retinoids, which one is right for whom, how to use them etc., Retinoids are your best friend when it comes to treating acne , hyper-pigmentation (dark marks, age spots etc) and age symptoms (enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles). They operate by raising your cellular turnover rate(Your cellular turnover rate slows as you get older , fluctuates with seasons etc.). A higher cellular turnover rate equates to skin that is brighter, fresher and younger looking.   There are several types of Retinoids to pick from, some of which are over-the-counter (OTC) and others which requires a prescription. Retinyl esters, Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Adapalene, Tazarotene, Tretinoin and other Vitamin-A compounds are referred to as Retinoid. Retinoid must be converted into their active form o
