Fairy Beauty Clenz Review

Clenz Wednesday, June 25, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello! I'm here with another continuation of my Fairy Beauty supplements review series ^_^ hopefully you have visited my Fairy Beauty series post regarding Fairy Blossom, Fairy Whitez (I really love this one so much), and Life Food. What I've got here is called Clenz, a supplement for the health of our body and eyes. It claims to drive away the toxic in our body and replenishes the nutrition for our precious eyes. Well, we sometimes are not really taking care or controlling our food intake. We might not realize that we ate too much junk food, fast food, or foods that contain too much MSG and oil hence our internal might not beas healthy as we look from the outside. Aside from these, we too are not always that concern of our nutrition intake that can benefit our eyes, am I right? We stare at the computer screen for long hours, we wear contact lenses for more than 8 hours (I know, I know..not only me who are guilty in this case :p), and another thousand excuses for our poor care of the eyes. So enter Clenz, which has been meticulously developed by Fairy Beauty to help us flush the toxins and care for our eyes. Clenz is the Special Awards winner for the Beauty Supplement category during the Cite Cosme Beauty Awards 2012/2013 which was organized by Beauty, Mina and Vivi magazines. So, Clenz has actually been a start under the spotlight before we even realize it.

Clenz was developed with the powerful 100% pure natural organic nano plant essence. So, what is the importance of this fact? For your information, this makes Clenz very easy to be absorbed by the body thus you don't need to worry or question on how much can the content of this tiny bottle benefit your body. It is advisable for us to take 1-2 bottles of Clenz per day, and continue for 10 days straight so that we can see the following benefits :

1. Detoxification

2. Strengthens intestines and stomach functions

3. Eye protection

4. Nutrition boosting

The guide to use Clenz is simple. This product can be consumed by the age 16 and above, and it should be consumed immediately after opening. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have diarrhea or any other serious illness that makes you under doctor's supervision, then it is advisable to check with your doctor first whether Clenz is suitable for your consumption or not. The bottle and straw mechanism is similar to Fairy Whitez and Fairy Blossom. Well, I found these cute little bottles quite adorable, haha!

So, congratulations to me for taking up the 10-days challenge as stated above. I took 1 bottle of Clenz per day before bed, and I hope you are ready to hear what I am going to say after this. The first time I consumed Clenz, I was woken up by a terribly stomach ache and I instantly knew that I need the toilet badly. It was rather rude okay to wake me up with such a painful jolt, measuring the distance between my bed and the toilet, assuming whether I can make it there in time or not. Thankfully no accidents happened, and 'the business' was cleared. The first 4 days of consuming Clenz, I was a wreck. I need to visit the loo 4-5 times a day, flushing down all the toxic contained in my body. I admit that I am not a healthy-eater. Since I am always so thin, I ate anything and everything I feel like. I only cared to eat the greens if I realize that I have 'that' digestion problem.

After 10 days, I feel like my body is slightly healthier and 'lighter' than before. It is in the sense that I knew my body is feeling better than I always feel. About the eye nutrition claim, I found that I no longer feel that irritated when looking at the computer for too long or with uncomfortable lighting. I can say that my eyes can adjust better because before consuming Clenz, I found that my eyes were getting more sensitive to the light especially the brightness of my LCD screen. I hope even though after I finished my Clenz stock, I can still retain this effect :)

All in all, I recommend Clenz if you are in need of serious body detoxification and eye nutrition replenishment. I am thinking on how working/studying people can adjust to this because you might get the same 4-5 trips to the toilet like I did so yeah, make sure you are not travelling when you consume Clenz, hehe!

Fairy Beauty Life Food review

Fairy Beauty Saturday, June 21, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello! Today I would like to share my take on this health drink by Fairy Beauty. The product is called Life Food. It is in the form of powder where you have to mix it with warm water and consume it twice a day for maximum efficiency. The packaging is a transparent plastic cylindrical bottle, containing 300gram worth of product. Due to its powdery nature, there is also a plastic stopper after the lid to avoid product from spilling at the beam of the bottle. Now you must be curious on what is Life Food and how it can benefit you, right? Well, Life Food is a type of supplement that claims to cater to many human needs. If you need a safe product that can help you lose weight, reduce bad cholesterol, or if you are simply a very busy person who is always on the go and seldom has time to properly have your breakfast, lunch and dinner, maybe you can give Life Food a try :) Here are the claims of Life Food :

contains 16 types of vitamins and minerals
high dietary fiber and prebiotic
meal replacement
sustainable weight loss
chia seeds, omega 3 & 6
reduce bad cholesterol

I have consumed Life Food for a month and I can say that it is a good product that helps me whenever I am in a rush. Okay correction, I am always in a rush here and there. I received this product when I was still in my internship so in the morning I will drink it after Subuh prayer (before 7am) to help me fight the hungry pang I felt every time I wake up. Furthermore, I am always lazy to prepare my own breakfast (yeah, living on my own) so Life Food is a great help, what more with its nutrient packed ingredients making me feel full till I get my proper breakfast at 10am with my colleagues. I do not worry on weight loss as I am underweight and I need to gain more kilos. I benefit from Life Food as a mean to help me with my disastrous meal time. Since Life Food has high dietary fiber, it also helps me with my digestion as sometimes I don't get proper veggies in my daily meal intake, hehe! My mom too consumed Life Food (I have 2 bottles, one for me and one for her) and she said that she loves drinking this during sahur time (early in the morning before subuh prayer, whenever she is fasting) as it helps her not to feel hungry during the day. If you're concerned about the contents of this supplement or if you have food allergy, don't worry as Life Food contains :

no eggs
no yeast
no fillers
non-dairy
no additives
no added sugar
no preservatives
no artificial colouring

The powder smells like oat, which I love so much but consuming it might not be an enjoyable task as this drink is tasteless, thanks to its no added sugar ingredient. It has a very pretty pale purple colour upon mixed with water (I think it must be from the berries they used) and there are some black seeds which I don't know what it is as well but clearly it is not harmful :p So, if you're looking for a healthy supplement to help your body slim down, substitutes food and at the same time has ingredients that are good for your overall body wellness, I recommend you to try Life Food :) Since it is tasteless and that might put you off, why not you try adding some mashed berries or any soft fruits like banana into it as natural sweetener? That way, you can make your supplement fancy yet the nutritional value won't degrade. Happy trying!

L'oreal Paris White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream (Review)

L'oreal Paris Monday, June 16, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello! Today I have a newfound love to be shared with you guys ^_^ L'oreal has came out with a remarkable invention that I have always dreamed for. As you might remember from my previous post about skin whitening, I have a spot for whitening products because I am always sunburned and tanned due to my involvement in sports. However, most of the whitening creams I tried before this will make me look like an oil slick and that, is a major turn off. L'oreal totally understands this problem as they now came up with a big surprise, the new White Perfect Total 10 All-in-One Whitening Day Cream! This magical bottle arrived with hope that it can help me achieve my desired fair skin tone besides giving multiple protection for my skin. Let's see how it works!

L'oreal Paris White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream comes in just one size, which is 50ml. I love how cute and simple the packaging presentation is. It has a pump to dispense the product which is very hygienic and with its secure cap, the packaging is travel-friendly as well in terms of avoiding spillage in your bag. L'oreal team has been so thoughtful to include this White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream with a stopper to block the dispenser hole so that even though you forgot to put back on its secure cap, as long as you plug in the stopper you can avoid any spillage and waste of product. However, as the stopper is very small, people who are clumsy (not me, but I know people who are thus I am mentioning this) with their products might lose this thing eventually.

L'oreal Paris White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream came with 10 benefits for our skin as mentioned in the image below. It is equipped with SPF30 PA+++ making it a reliable day cream for us to wear during the day and not worry too much about sun damage ^_^ This White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream claims to help our skin with brightening which includes evening out skin tone, giving instant brightening effect, reducing darkness on skin, and eventually makes us look fairer without being shiny like a disco ball. It protects our skin as well from UVA and UVB rays, prevents oxidation, prevents pollutants from harming our skin and prevents oiliness from conquering our skin surface.

The cream consistency is medium-thick. It glides on smoothly on skin, seeping inside within 1 minute and leaves skin feeling fresh without any stickiness or oiliness. The cream has a beautiful pastel lilac hue, and it has a pleasant lavender scent to it which is not too overpowering. I usually don't prefer lavender scent but this one is very nice I can't stop sniffing it, hehe! This cream claims to have anti-oiliness property to help us combat shine.

As I have been using this cream for a week already, I feel that it really lives up to its promises although on the controlling oiliness part I have to give it a slightly reduced mark. It does give me an instant brightening effect, but that is more recognizable in person rather in picture. I went out without any extra sunblock and just this cream before my makeup, and I found that my skin does not burn or sting under direct sunlight so I guess the SPF30 PA+++ is working well on my skin, hehe :p Along my course of wearing this cream, I found that if the weather is hot but windy, my skin does not get oily at all. However if the weather is hot and very dry without any winds, I get sightly oily on my T-zone only but it is not too bad. When I blotted my face with an oil-blotting film at the end of the day, I found that the outcome is just half oily than my normal blotting result. So, I can say that I love this L'oreal Paris White Perfect 10 Total Whitening Day Cream as it gives me that instant brightening effect and it clearly does not make my skin end up like an oil slick at the end of the day. I can also see that my skin tone has evened out a bit and my acne scars are fading (if you've been following, I had a very bad acne breakout a few months back and it left my face full of dark spots). There is nothing that I hate or dislike about this cream, it does not give me any break out or irritations as well so I do recommend it for you guys to give this cream a try. Please be aware that results may vary between skin types okay?

Confession of A Lotion Lover : Be A Princess With Enchanteur Paris Body Lotion

body lotion Tuesday, June 10, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello lovelies ^_^ Any of you are lotion lovers? I myself am a hardcore one, and in this post I'm gonna write about my take on 4 types of Enchanteur Paris body lotions that I received from The Butterfly Project Malaysia. I feel so lucky to finally own all four variants of these wonderful body lotions because they have different functions that suit to many of our needs. Personally, I am a fan and has been using one of the variant ever since it was first sold because I am a loyal person to its scent. I am also a loyal user of Enchanteur Paris fragrance called Belle Amour, up to the extent of I cannot stand without having a bottle of it together with me wherever I go. I grew up with Enchanteur and I am familiar with many of its scents. When I was in high school and staying at the hostel, I saw many of my friends too uses Enchanteur products and we always ask each other about their favourite Enchanteur scents XD My parents and grandparents too use Enchanteur talc and deodorant ever since I can remember so when these body lotions are mine, it made me so happy! Okay enough with the memory lane mode, now let's get to know Enchanteur Paris Body Lotions shall we?

What Are Lotions & It's Benefits?
Body lotions are lotions applied to the body after bathing. They contain more water than body cream to hydrate, smoothen and soften the skin. The benefits of using body lotions are :

Moisture
> Oils that are in lotion give skin moisture and elasticity. They are absorbed into the skin, repairing and soothing dry skin.

Protection
> The same oils in lotion that repair dry skin can also prevent irritation from dry skin. Lotion containing SPF too can help in preventing sun damage.

Anti-Aging
> By using lotion to protect against sun damage and dry skin, indirectly it also helps minimizing the aging process of the skin. Dry skin that loses elasticity and experiences sun damage can lead to wrinkles and fine lines.

Skin Colour
> Some lotions contain additives that can either lighten or darken the appearance of skin pigment.

Scent
> Most lotions contain fragrance oils that can be used for a light scent. The scent is less potent that of perfumes and colognes, making it beneficial for people who desire the scent but are sensitive to stronger perfumes.

*credits to The Butterfly Project Malaysia for the info above

These are the four body lotions from Enchanteur Paris that I received and I totally love all of them! The first bottle from the left with yellow sticker is Light & Fresh body lotion. Second is Triple Whitening body lotion, which is my favourite since it was first introduced! I remember myself always buying the miniature version because I can easily slip it in my pencil case, my bag, or sometimes in my pocket, hehe! Next is the All-in-One Whitening body serum with SPF24++ and the last one with purple sticker is Firm & Repair body lotion.

A bit of my background story of me as a lotion freak. I always found myself happy and contented when I wore lotion on my skin and have it in my bag, on the table, and beside my pillow. Basically wherever there is me, there must be a lotion. Sounds like a psycho ain't I? hahaha! I developed the habit of always bringing a bottle of lotion with me since I entered university. Most of the classes are conducted in air-conditioned room that seems to be colder than winter in US (as my lecturer said herself) so it did a good job in drying my skin =_='' I am rather delicate with taking care of my body skin, so a very slight dryness especially on my hands and feet will automatically ruin my mood and made me utterly uneasy. I will pass a note around or just ask my pals "Do you have some lotion?" and if nobody can save me, I will go to the washroom and wash my hands as if it can absorb some water, silly me. That is why I will usually have a bottle of lotion in all my bags so that I won't find myself lotion-less, hehe! Lotions, no matter what variant they are, will always be my skin company till death do us part.

So, how does Enchanteur Paris Body Lotions fare in my usage? Let's see! Below are splotches of each variants that I've got. Basically I think Firm & Repair and Light & Fresh have the runniest consistency and I hope you can see the watery look of it. Triple Whitening has a slightly thicker consistency and All-in-One Whitening body serum has the thickest consistency with a different, more to off-white colour. Please feel free to click on the image if you want to see a bigger picture :) These lotions has 150ml of product in each bottle except for the All-in-One Whitening body serum which is 135ml but in the same bottle size. I wonder why?

Now's the time for individual review, yeay! First up is Enchanteur Paris Light & Fresh body lotion. It contains Aloe Vera and Portulaca concentrate and apart from the whitening function, this lotion too has UV protection for our skin. That is why Enchanteur Paris created this body lotion for us to use it during outdoor activities ^_^ It does not mean that you have to go hiking to use this lotion okay? Maybe if you're just going to take a stroll in the park, walk you dog around the neighborhood, or even help your mum to buy something from that grocery store a few blocks away from your house, you can simply smooth on this Light & Fresh body lotion before you went out.

It is very runny that when I pour it on my palms and held my hand vertically, the lotion glides downwards smoothly so be careful not to accidentally pour out too much of it. I counted and it 'disappears' from my skin in 5 seconds after I smooth it all over my hands. Technically, it dries to nothing on my skin. No sticky feeling, no shine, and my skin felt so smooth with it on. The scent of Mon Amie in this body lotion is citrusy and pleasant, but I personally put the scent as the one that I don't really prefer. However, I saw many other reviewing Butterflies loving this scent than other lotions, hehe!

Well, I said I don't really prefer the scent just now right? But heyy, this Light & Fresh body lotion is too good to be neglected! I always bring it with me if mom asked me to accompany her for a short visit to anywhere that won't last an entire day. Talk about going to Tesco, we usually go before 11am and sitting at the front passenger seat makes my skin exposed to the sun and it is HOT (yeah, my car is not heavily tinted, we don't wanna get saman from JPJ) so this Light & Fresh body lotion from Enchanteur Paris is a total skin saver as it keeps my skin feeling fresh!

Yeayy, we are moving on to my most favourite body lotion! This Triple Whitening body lotion has a scent of Belle Amour, which is the same with my number one favourite fragrance from Enchanteur Paris as well. Belle Amour scent is my signature scent, even my close companions are accustomed to it and they said that the scent is really suitable with me and my personality ^_^ Triple Whitening body lotion is suitable for all skin types as it provides 3 whitening actions and evens out skin tone at the same time. It is less runny than Light & Fresh and it leaves a hint of moist feeling on my skin after I smoothed it out. This is another reason why I super love this Triple Whitening body lotion ;) Oh, it also took merely 5 seconds for my skin to totally absorb it!

Since now I am done with lecture classes (I'm graduating in July), I cannot say that I bring this bottle to class but I swear that before I received these lotions for review, I have had countless miniature bottles of Triple Whitening (I can't remember if it has a different name back then when it was first launched but the scent and the sticker colour were the same) body lotion and I brought it everywhere. It saves me not only to mend my dry skin, but also to boost up the scent of Belle Amour if my perfume has faded due to the hot weather and vehicle smoke as I use public transportation a lot. Now that I am mostly at home using the pc or my laptop, I make sure that Triple Whitening body lotion is with me all the time. I am not really desperate on the whitening effect as my body skin are not sunburned like my face, but I found solace in the scent of this body lotion :)

Moving on to the All-in-One Whitening body serum with SPF24++. This is not the ordinary lotion for our skin, this is the ultimate skin saviour that you can use now ^_^ It has sun protection factor, 24 hours hydration effect and also whitening benefits. I found that the smell of this body serum at first resembles the Triple Whitening body lotion but as I grew accustomed to it, I found that it is a bit faint and when it dries on my skin, I don't really detect the smell. It has the thickest consistency, it dries as fast as the other lotions just now and it definitely makes me feel that my skin is moist. Good job Enchanteur!

Surprisingly, I found that my sister is a loyal user of this body serum since she was in high school (she just finished SPM last year). When she saw that I have all four of these Enchanteur Paris body lotions, she squealed and took this body serum and said that it is her favourite! I bring this All-in-One Whitening body serum with me when I am travelling as it has multiple benefits and I don't wanna carry all four bottles in my backpack. As you might already know, I am now in Melaka temporarily before I started my 2 weeks of final presentation classes on 23rd June. But still, I have to make trips to Shah Alam weekly to see my research supervisor and I also attend events if the date is convenient with my Shah Alam visit. I sometimes stay overnight in KL and this All-in-One Whitening body serum will be my faithful companion throughout the journey. Oh well, I bring another lotion as well to be used at night, scroll down please :p

Okay sweet dreams and sleep tight! Hahaha just kidding but hey, now we're gonna see the body lotion that I never fail to use before I sleep ^_^ Enchanteur Paris brings you the marvelous Firm & Repair body lotion and it is also suitable for all skin types! The ingredients in it helps to improve skin elasticity and repairs damaged skin. As I have learned before, the process of our body healing itself are always at night, when we are sleeping. That's why Enchanteur Paris equipped this Firm & Repair body lotion with its Adore scent as it may be able to make you feel relaxed to sleep.

I don't know whether it is my mentality or whatnot but Firm & Repair body lotion does make it easier for me to sleep ;) it is runny like Fresh & Light body lotion but ohhhh the smell is so amazing and it's formula really made me feel that my skin is repaired after I woke up. Did you know that the scent lasts till the next morning when I wake up? Yes, I smelled my hands when I woke up and Adore scent is there, as if it is freshly applied. Now I will feel sad if I can't use this Firm & Repair body lotion before I sleep, so I always make sure that I put it next to my pillows ^_^

Well everyone, I hope my review is helpful to you in choosing any body lotions from Enchanteur Paris. My suggestion? Buy all, hahahaha! Of course, the price is so affordable and it is widely available at pharmacies and hypermarkets. I bet even 7-Eleven have these on their shelves! I checked out the price at Watsons in early June and they had a 20% promotion on all these lotions I just reviewed. The prices below are the normal prices at Watsons. If you are looking for new body lotions and body serum to spice up your skincare experience, I recommend you try these Enchanteur Paris body lotions because they are moisturizing, awesomely scented, dries within 5 seconds and best of all, they suit all the needs that our skin can benefit from ^_^ Till then!

What do you think of body lotions?

Care to tell me any of your favourites?

Reaching The Brighter Side : Skin Whitening

info Friday, June 06, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello! This post will be something different to spice up my blog content, as I would be writing about my thoughts and opinions on a topic that many women loves, which is skin whitening :) I know that many women dream to have a Snow White complexion, sometimes it made me so puzzled when I see women who are already blessed with fair skin fussing over whitening products. When I finally grew up, I realized that women crave for skin whitening not only to look fair, but also to many other causes. Some wants to reduce dark spots, some wants to get rid of dark acne scars on their face, and some just resort to whitening products to even out their skin tone. As for me, I started trying out whitening skincare products to even out my skin tone, as I grew up as an athlete and I still am. When I was in primary and secondary school, I always took part in long distance runs, then I went to National Service and that was a total black out of my face (I was so sunburned I don't even wanna remember that skin tone anymore) and then now when I entered the university, I got active in archery. So yeah, I am never the Snow White.

When I started using whitening skincare products at 16, I never knew that I should use sunblock. I got a fairer complexion for a moment at that time, because I avoided direct sunlight exposure and I religiously use the whitening cream that I got from our local drugstore. However, during the school break, I went to the sea and when I came back, my friend asked why I look so dark and she said that I was terribly sunburned, I didn't even realize XD now that I'm sightly more 'educated' on skincare than the old me, I have quite a handful to say on skin whitening.

I now use whitening products not only to get fairer skin. I learned that when people are born with that skin tone, you can't easily change it overnight to be as white as snow by using whitening products. Unless the whitening product you use are very corrosive and peels your skin like nobody's business, then you can get their promised "3 tones brighter in 7 days" and yup, be prepared to get loads of skin problems later on. For me, skin whitening does not come in a jiffy. In my experience, I get that brighter complexion and even skin tone after a month, no less.

Now I would love to share with you guys my take on whitening skincare. They key to make any creams or serums you slap on your face to work is to have clean skin. This means that the first step you must take is clean your face thoroughly twice a day. Make sure that there is no makeup or grime left on your face after cleansing. Use a makeup remover or facial wipes first, then proceed with facial cleanser. You might wanna use those many skin brushes available out there to deep cleanse your face :) Oh, you can also use face cloth while cleansing, which is cheaper but make sure the cloth is clean and properly washed. In cleansing too, never forget to use exfoliator once or twice a week if you want to get brighter skin. You can buy many facial scrubs out there to get rid of dead skin cells which made your face look dull and inhibits your journey to a brighter, healthier skin.

Next to cleansing, ensure that while you are crazy about whitening creams, never forget your toner and moisturizer. If you are a beginner or you want less fuss, I recommend you to get a full set of the whitening skincare brand that you love. Get the cleanser, scrub, toner, moisturizer, day cream, night cream and whitening serum and face mask of the same brand and range. It can be very helpful to see the result you wish for, trust me I have done what I wrote here and it helps a lot! However, if you have an arsenal of products in your stash that you have tested (hi beauty addicts and beauty bloggers!), then you might know what works best for you, you're the lab rat of your own experiment right? hehe! Usually, products that are for skin whitening will have a moisturizer or day cream equipped with up to SPF 30 so it is good for you to have that sun protection factor. Remember, when you are using whitening products, it is twice more important for your skin to have that SPF during the day. I learned that many women who are keen on skin whitening tried to avoid sunlight as much as they can. This might result in you getting Vitamin D deficiency. At least get some sunlight earlier in the morning, what I did was do some light exercise under the sun before 9am, hehe! At night, apart from the whitening serums and creams, use whitening facial masks (it would be good if they are hydrating as well) before you sleep, as pampering your skin with masks is another way to absorb those whitening goodness ^_^

You must remember that every people's skin are different. Your skin behaviour might change as you age (been there gone through!) and your diet as well, plays a huge part in the well-being of your skin. Never blame the product if your lifestyle is not healthy, your skin will deteriorate as bad as whatever you consume. To get brighter, healthier skin, I suggest you drink 10 glasses of plain water per day. 8 glasses is the minimum, drink more! Quit smoking, it is baaaaddd for your complexion and eat more fruits and veggies with vitamin C as they can brighten up your complexion from the inside, definitely harmless! My housemate told me that her mother drinks tomato juice every day and her skin is very fair, glowing and healthy. Discipline, is what drives you to success ^_^ if you love munching on fruits and veggies, eat more kiwi, strawberry, cherry tomatoes and citrus fruits as they are rich in Vitamin C. Another tips for you to whiten or fade those acne scars on your face is by using potato slice. Rub it on the dark marks, do it religiously and you'll see it disappearing. What about me? Oh well, at home I always have lemons in the fridge, so what I do is, I rub a lemon slice all over my face, or squeeze its juice and use cotton pieces to wipe it on my face. Leave on till the juices dried on my face and cleanse it. This might sting (sometimes it stung, sometimes I felt very itchy) so you might wanna try a little first, if it stings, dilute the lemon juice with some water.

Before I end my post, here's a recipe for you to make a brightening face pack at home, it is super easy!

Oatmeal and Tomato Face Pack

(skin lightening)

What you need :
-1 medium sized red tomato
-Oatmeal
(for 1 use)

How to make it :
1. Mash your tomato in a bowl
2. Pour some oatmeal to your desired consistency and mix well
3. Smooth the mixture on your face and wait for 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

p/s : DIY the mask. You can add in some honey for extra hydration and antiseptic or lemon juice for extra whitening ingredient, the choice is yours!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion Review

moisturizer Thursday, June 05, 2014

Assalamualaikum and hello! If you guys have been following my haul updates closely on this blog and my Instagram in the past few months, you would know that I am very infatuated with tea tree oil as a mean to heal acne. I had a major acne outbreak earlier this year due to my diet problem (yes, I figured it out!) and my skin is still in healing process, which is yet to be called a safe state. I am beyond done with trying numerous acne/pimple gels from drugstores that never works on my medicine-resistant skin. Even Dalacin-T can't help my skin to heal those bumps. I don't see a dermatologist because I am still financially incapable of paying for such service. So I resorted back to square one, where I once tried treating my pimples with tea tree oil as I reviewed here. However, it was a pure essential oil so my skin went really dry and certain parts where I applied the oil peeled but the result was good, it vanished my pimples in a few days. I currently enjoy using The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil which price is more friendly to my thin pocket XD as to complement the tea tree oil, I bought Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion from The Body Shop two months ago and I have been using it quite religiously.

The product is like a mild moisturizer (not the thick cream moisturizer type) which comes in a squeeze tube. There is only one default size containing 50ml of product. Packaging wise, nothing fancy as it comes in the signature green tube and green label for The Body Shop's tea tree range. I love the packaging as it is travel-friendly and hygienic. On the packaging is written that this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion is suitable for blemished skin. It claims to be a lightweight hydration lotion with shine-control, aiming towards clearer looking skin and it is also infused with tamanu oil. I learned from this website that tamanu oil is a cure for acne, eczema, psoriasis and some other skin problems.

As I have been using this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion for almost 2 months, I can say that it is a helpful product to my pimple infested skin. I can see that it does its job as a "skin clearing lotion" but the result is only after continuous use for 2 months. It does not clear my skin entirely however, as new pimples still pop occasionally if I don't properly treat my skin, control my diet, lack of water and lack of sleep. What I can confirm is that this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion does its job well if I am disciplined enough to take care of my entire body and skin well-being. It is light enough to be used during the day under makeup and I don't find my face getting more oily than normal. The tea tree scent is not too strong, the lotion does not sting my skin, and it absorbs almost instantly with a tinge of cooling sensation. Even though it is a tea tree product, I'm glad that it does not dry my skin either.

I use this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion during the day and night, after toner application. However at night, I love giving my skin extra hydration while I sleep so after this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion, I will smooth on another layer of my other favourite moisturizer. The instruction from this Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion packaging is to smooth the lotion upwards your face and neck. Overall, I did not experience any adverse reaction, my skin is healing from ferocious acne outbreak and I can see myself repurchasing this lotion because using it gives comfort to my skin. I won't say it's a HG product as it is not an overnight miracle, but it is worth the shot if you have oily and blemished skin. For RM49.00 per 50ml, I consider it affordable.
