Sunday, August 13, 2017
السلام علىكم
Good Day!
Althea just celebrated their 2nd birthday recently and things are getting a little more exciting than that. They launched their very 1st brand product!! Woot woot! It's called Althea Petal Velvet Powder.
I'm thrilled to be among the first Althea fans who get to try and review it! So honored. Thanks so much Althea for the trust :')
Insta-story
Just who wouldn't feel excited seeing the pink parcel?!! hehe. It gets me EVERY TIME!
So this Althea Petal Velvet powder is a light weight white loose powder that is meant to leave your face a silky finish. It's made with pure, natural ingredients and one of the main ingredients is Althea flower extracts.
Super fine powder. Easy to blend into the skin with just the puff provided, you don't need a brush! Smells amazing too. The floral scent is strong but not too overpowering. I can also smell a hint of citrusy and herbal-y; a calming scent.
Honestly, I am not that kind of person who likes to set my foundation with powder. I only do for few occasions like functions, events or weddings. I liked to have my face looked a little bit 'moist' most of the time. However the problem with that is over time, because of my combination skin type, my T-zone looks more oily T_T
So when I tried this Althea Velvet Petal Powder, it totally changed my minds. I can still set my base lightly and over the time, my face looks even better! no more overly oily but just a little bit satin-y.
I loveeeee the flawless finish it gives to my face!!! smooth and silky! the best part is it still looks natural on the skin; never cake-y.
CLOSE UP!
Hands down. I'll forever be an Althea fan! haha.
This product is
priced at: RM16
so you can shop at: www.althea.kr / althea apps
now to get it hehe.
Thanks for being here!
Until next time!

My First Laser Aesthetic Treatment with One Doc Medical | 4 StepMedicalFacial Review
Thursday, August 10, 2017
السلام عليكم
Hiii!
I'm back with another skin care topic. This time it's about a facial treatment (as you read the title right). Not an ordinary facial treatment that I usually go once a month - it's an aesthetic facial treatment! It was my first! I never opt for an aesthetic one. It never occurred in my mind. Why? I guess it was because I was scared with the serious sounded so-called aesthetic and I was not really convinced (or maybe had no trust at all haha) with an aesthetic treatment before.I was too scared to jeopardize my face! haha! So let me tell you people my first ever aesthetic facial treatment experience that was performed by One Doc Medical! hehe.
The name of the treatment is One Doc Medical's Signature 4-Step Medical Facial or in short, I would describe it as a laser treatment as it involved lasers! hehe.
Before any info regarding the treatment, I want to briefly show you One Doc Medical outlet that I went in Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara. It's located just beside the KK Mart, same row with Maybank and Public Bank.
I really like the minimalist and clean looking interior!
There have other outlets which are in Puchong, Publika, Penang, and Johor.
Soooo moving on to the Signature 4-step Medical Facial that I did.
Step 1: Hydrofacial:
I came here right after work so I was with my everyday-to-work makeup look hehe. So before they start with this first step, they wipe off the makeup. Then only this hydrofacial starts. This hydrofacial is like the deep intense skin cleaning, I'd say. They use the machine which will feels like subtle suction after water (explains the hydro part) blows into your pores. It was meant not only evenly exfoliates, removes impurities and dead skin cells on the face but it also replenishes vital nutrients such as Antioxidants, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid that are important to our skin.
The benefits of this step are:
✓ Remove blackhead/ white head
✓ Reduce acne/ oily skin
✓ Reduce pore size
✓ Remove pigment/ uneven skin tone
Step 2: One Doc Signature laser:
Jeng jeng jeng. haha. Here comes the scary laser part! XD. Disclaimer here: All laser and light therapy are performed by laser consultant and trained therapist. I was scared for nothing! hehe. What they did was they shoot me with the Q-Switched Nd-yag laser for 15 minutes. If you ask me how it felt like, I'd describe it as a mild tingling sensation when you feel electrostatic; with the spark. That's a very precise description I think. I can also smell the burn as it shot my face hair haha. However I assure you it was not painful at all! hehe. It left me with a cleaner and clearer brighter skin at instant! They first did half of my face and show me the difference. It was really showing! I was told that regular treatments will improve skin tone while reduce pigmentations, pimples, pores and induces skin tightening.
Step 3: Omega light therapy
This is a low level light therapy which is to enhance your skin's natural cellular recovery, reduce acne outbreak, promoting skin rejuvenation and enhances skin repair post-laser treatment. Feel like nothing; no heat feeling, na-da.
Step 4: Serum Infusion
This last step is my favourite step. hehe. I really like ice cold feeling on the face; not just the feeling, also the benefits thay I know it would give me especially that lifting benefit! who wouldn't want a tight lifted young looking face?!! So, this ia a hybrid, antioxidant serum to combat free radical. It is an absorbable, leave-on treatment that improves the appearance of ageing signs as well as texture and clarity. I love the hydration, moisturization it left my skin too! (Y)
This treatment is retailed at RM799 but I would share you this fun promotion! of course! hehe. Grab the first trial for RM499 only to enjoy the complete and refreshing treatment !!!!

My Skincare Routine featuring Swissvita Products | with Review
Wednesday, August 9, 2017
السلام علىكم
Today I want to share my current skincare routine which I have started a month ago religiously. I have come to the phase where everything needs to be done fast; well that includes my skincare routine of course haha. #mommyproblem. I have longgg left my favourite 10-steps skincare routine hehe. no time mannn. haha. This time, my routine is the must do 3-step.
FYI, I'm collaborating with All Young Swissvita Skinlab Malaysia this time.
FB PAGE : https://www.facebook.com/swissvitamalaysia/
These are the 3 main products of my skincare routine.
For the past goood one month, since I started these products, I didn't get a single pimple/acne! really!! I don't know if external factors affect this but as I know, I was using those products.
You can check out their website and products' description here too:-

STEP 1
Cleanse
Micrite 3D All Use Cleanser Cream
Clean clean clean. It's the first vital step of a skincare routine. You need a clean base for good absorption of other skincare products later. Also, at least let you skin breathe freely from all the dirt you have on your face please! haha. This cleanser is the foam cream type that creates fine foam. it has no fragrance and is very gentle to the skin. It also leaves a clean feeling yet moisturizing. I really cannot bear with cleansers that stripped all of the oil. It will make my face feel very tight and dry -_-. So, this cleanser is good; it cleanses and moisturized the skin well at the same time. (Y)
STEP 2
Tone
Acne Solution Skin Balancing Toner
Clean clean clean. It's the first vital step of a skincare routine. You need a clean base for good absorption of other skincare products later. Also, at least let you skin breathe freely from all the dirt you have on your face please! haha. This cleanser is the foam cream type that creates fine foam. it has no fragrance and is very gentle to the skin. It also leaves a clean feeling yet moisturizing. I really cannot bear with cleansers that stripped all of the oil. It will make my face feel very tight and dry -_-. So, this cleanser is good; it cleanses and moisturized the skin well at the same time. (Y)
STEP 2
Tone
Acne Solution Skin Balancing Toner
Toner is also important to prep your base for more skincare products. It also helps balance the pH level of your facial skin after the cleanser. In fact, some toner is also meant to further clean your skin. Depending on your facial skin needs. The toner that is also cleansing can be drying to some skin type like mine nowadays. So I prefer a toner like this which just meant to carefully medically prep your skin. This toner is a milky type. You have to shake well before use. I just my palm to apply; no cotton pad. Just tap onto the skin until it's absorbed. It is a very mild toner; gentle to skin and it leaves my face feeling soft and balanced. It has no fragrance too.
STEP 3
Moisturize
Acne Solution Serum
Different people (different skin) needs different kind of moisturization. As for myself, my skin type and condition changes accordingly to the environments factors etc. On most days, I only apply this serum as moisturizer. This serum feels more like a medicine to me haha maybe because there's a hint of medicine smell as I apply it. With a few small dots, I just rub it on my face until absorbed. However it is not very moisturizing to very dry skin like mine. So on days where I feel like my skin is more dry, I will at least layer an aloe vera gel on top for an extra moisture. If it's super more dry, I will layer with a more concentrated moisturizer. Let's talk about layering products in separate entry. hehe. I love layering products, fyi! XD
Acne free skin (for now but hopefully until forever haha)! yeay hehe.
