SKIN CARE
Fancl Cleansing Oil - I like to use waterproof mascara, because i don't like the smudge on my eyes, so i really need something that is strong enough to remove those and gentle on my eyes at the same time. Lucky i found Fancl Cleansing Oil, the magic oil dissolve my waterproof mascara just like that....no-rubbing...no-pinching....For an effective result in using this oil, u just pump it (approx 2-3 times) on your palm then remember DO NOT MIX IT WITH WATER but apply it straight to your make-up (especially the stubborn part like your mascara) because by then it will dissolve your make-up better. Next, you just wash your face as usual with warm water. Packaging + Cleanliness + Smell + Benefits + Practical + Price = 5/5
Olay Total Effects Facial Wash - I wash my face with Olay in the morning for instant clean and firm feeling effect, did i mention that it is very affordable, too.
Packaging + Cleanliness + Smell + Benefits + Practical + Price = 4.5/5
Neutrogena Wave Deep Clean - I've tried this once, realize it is a great tool for a thoroughly cleaning. It is designed quiet well and easy to grip, not slippery even when water splashes on it. After using this, my face feels soft and refreshing with the menthol-feeling. Nevertheless i might find the one-time-use of the cleansing pad is pretty costly. So, for.............. Packaging + Cleanliness + Smell + Benefits + Practical - Price = 4/5
Kose Sekkisei Cleansing Cream - great to remove the make-up with whitening effect and suitable for sensitive skin. This cleansing cream is really gently and effectively dissolves all the make-up. Not only that, it is also contains the whitening ingredients and all those medical herbal extracts which are very good in correcting dull skin. I've been using this for a year and i can see there is an improvement in my skin clarity and texture. Thank you KOSE ^^

Fancl Washing Powder - One of the Fancl's infamous product...it is mildly cleansing the face with the unique powder formula, smells great ( baby-powder-kind-of smell), but a bit troublesome for me since it has to use the sponge to create the washing foam. Packaging + Cleanliness + Smell + Benefits + Price - Practical = 4/5
SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser - expensive but worth it, clean the skin thoroughly and not to leave skin feeling tight. The foam just feel so right and not to mention how soft it is on the skin, yet still effectively to remove light make-up and impurities on the skin.

2. Apply sunblock with SPF 15 (minimum!!!), don't ever forget to do this (as it is very very important) and I guarantee that you would thank me in the future for that ^^ by the way, i read this article in female magazine about the interview with QiQi (SK-II model). You guys should have look at her face. FLAWLESS. FAIR. and PERFECT. During her interview she mentioned how important the sun-block is. She had been applied it since she was 6 years old!!! can you imagine that?? When i was 6 i applied mud on my face when playing at the beach with my brothers. I didn't even know what the sun-block is...
Biotherm Sunblock SPF 50 - great for outdoor usage and has whitening effect. My cousin has been using this for ages and keep on recommending it to me. I've tried it once but find it a bit oily on my skin.The texture is slightly thick. However, when you apply it on your face, it will make you look fairer instantly.This is a great product for those who always wanted the pale-looking-face, but not so good for those who has oily or combination skin.
Packaging + Smell + Benefits - Price - Texture = 3.5/5
Biore UV Sunblock Milk - my favourite sunblock at the moment, it can be used as make-up base, non-oily texture, it is very affordable, has whitening effect and it really works!!! So many good things about Biore Sunblock HAHA but that's the facts. This biore UV milk has a watery consistency and is quickly absorbed into your skin, leaving you with soft-silky kind of skin. It is very lightweight and won't clog your pores for sure.

Laneige Sunblock - It has a great smell and comes in cute packaging. I find the texture is quiet thick and too oily for my face. Even though i've put a lot of powder on my face it is still look shiny because of it. Nevertheles, it has a pretty good protection power, still.

3. Choose and invest in a good moisturizer with antioxidants that could protects your skin well.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion - one of the best seller moisturizer ever (if i'm not wrong, in 2009-i read from this mag that each bottle was sold in every 7mins in the world...wtf..). When Clinique say dramatically different, they really mean that. This lotion will make a big improvement in your skin. You can feel how smooth and soft your skin become. Just apply a bit will do the trick. Don't apply too much on your oilier part like T-zone. Keep using it for younger looking skin, like they said dramatically different ^^

Clinique Moisture Surge - this is really a must-buy for those who are having dry skin as it is really quenches the thirsty skin, I'm very happy that i've found this product. I have combination skin and this oil-free moisturizer is able to moisturize my dry-areas and oilier-areas of face without causing greasiness. The gel is in pink color, the smell is really nice, this is just a perfect product. It is great for day or night moisturizers and it is best used as mask (i like to use it as my sleeping-mask). Oh it is a bit pricey, but i guess it is worth it..like maybeline said..coz u worth tit...HEHE..

Olay Total Effects 7 - powerful yet affordable! It promises : Line minimization; Nourishing moisturization for a radiant, healthy glow; Tone enhancement; Smoothes and evens skin texture; Pore refinement; Free radical defence; and Subtle lifting for firmer skin appearance. I've been using Olay since my younger days and I find that it moisturizes my skin well. It is easily absorbed and has a nice smell, After application, my skin feels smooth and firm-up, too. As for the even-skin-texture promise, i can't really see the difference yet. I guess this product can really does the same tricks as the $300 cream does.

4. Apply serum before putting your moisturizer to boost the effect. It depends on your goal to achieve whether you will go for whitening, firming, or just moisturizing. I may skip my moisturizer but not my serum as i believe serum is more concentrated and damn-bloody-important to satisfy my skin needs.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence - they are famous with the 'pitera' things, which was the highest concentration of the yeast extract (remember the story of a grandma who always wash the rice with her soft-like-a-baby hands?). Well pitera helps to speed up cell turnover which is in other words, it works like anti-aging. I've been using this product for about 3 years and my skin and complexion is consistently improving. You just have to tap the essence (watery type) to your face and neck after toner, either using your bare hands (which i always do) or the cotton pad. Price is definitely not cheap. And there is one thing that i don't like from this product..the smell is so yucky...

Fancl Whitening Essence - I like Fancl products as they are free-preservatives. The whitening essence has a light-weight texture and very absorbent for the skin. The essence is quiet watery and promise to intensely whitens and fades out the freckles. I've tried 4 bottles so far. Nevertheless, i haven't seen any result for the whitening effect yet.

Chanel Precision White Essentiel Ultimate Whitening Essence
First thing that i love from this essence is the smell. What a pleasant comfortable smell that Chanel always gives me in every product that they have. Secondly, I love the texture as it easily transform into a luxurious water that could be instantly absorbed. It promises to visibly reduces those dark spots and yet hydrates the skin for suppleness. I've just tried this for a week, should continue using this till i see the result. I believe in you, Chanel.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair -
my all-time-favorite essence, great to use at night, you can see the effect within a week, skin texture and firmness are improved. I normally apply 2-3 drops before my moisturizer every night. From the first application, you can feel that your skin is firm and supple. I love the packaging with the rubber tube, it is cute and hygienic (as you won't need to dip your finger inside the bottle and contaminate the beauty formula). I love the benefits. I love the smell. I love the results (within a week only!!!). I love everything about this product, but not the price ><

Things that you should know :
- More is not always better, a pea-size amount of face cream is enough.
- Give products up to six months to work for real results. Please be patience, galz.
- My older sister always tells me that stroking creams upward will counteract sagging skin, but the truth is : GRAVITY. The skin will actually return to its original position the moment you stop pushing it.
- Drinking eight glasses of water a day might rehydrate our skin nevertheless what does work is the good moisturizers that keep water from evaporating from the skin.
- Take lots of vitamins (vitamin c and e are highly recommended)
- Most of the unopened face cream will stay for two years, assuming you store them in a cool, dry place. The opened ones will last no more than six months.
