I got an uncountable amount of cleansers… At least five, I think. But there’s always one or two that I always go back to and there’s one or two which is an absolutely favourite and will never mind to repurchase and will cry and cringe if it’s been discontinued!

I guess you all know how I feel and how I think, right? Hee~

As I grow older, my skin is going from super oily–> oily–> slightly dry–> kinda dry. Items that used to HG sometimes make my skin flakes because of the oil controlling properties Kinda sad, but oh well, part of life.

So now my skin reaches the stage of it being oily on T-zone and chin, but slightly dry on the cheek and got a bit of dry patch on the forehead too! I don’t use such strong oil control products anymore for fear of making my skin flakes, it’s very visible when I have makeup on, but no so when I go bare face.

Anyway, I think retaining moisture on your skin starts with washing with the correct cleanser. Not necessarily it must make your skin extra plump with moisture or anything, but at least, it doesn’t strip moisture off your skin making dry and tout after cleansing!

Haven’t been posting, neither I have a lot of time lately.

Work has been great, lotsa stuff to do everyday, and it doesn’t help after work I go clean my new room, unpack stuff, throwing out stuff (sobs! my beloved magazines!) and thinking on how to decorate my room and stashing all my makeup, skincare, fragrances etc.

And after a long day, covered myself in dust from top to toe, my face feel icky and yucky that I feel like scrubbing my face every single day.

BAD! You say.

I know, silly. I used something else, without needing me to scrub my face till it turns all red and yet left it clean and smooth.

Ah yes, the ever so lovely I Nuovi Splash Away Makeup Cleansing Oil. (more…)

Another soap that I have using for a while other than Lush’s Coalface is this…

Queen of Hearts Complexion Soap!

Rose petals and softening oils give faces the royal treatment
Queen of Hearts is one of the few LUSH soaps you can wash your face with. Why? It’s gentler on your face than body soaps because it’s made with a base of rose petal infusion. (Please don’t use our other soaps on your face; they’re designed for much stronger skin.) Cocoa butter keeps skin flexible while moisturizing almond and balancing geranium oils make skin soft; the Queen cleans without drying out your face. If you must wash your face with soap, please choose this one.

Ingredients: Sodium Palm Kernelate, Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Rose Petal Infusion (Rosa centifolia), Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Vanilla Pod Infusion (Vanilla planifolia), Fair Trade Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Perfume, Geranium Oil (Pelargonium crispum), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Sodium Chloride, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
