Firming Sculpting

Is it necessary to put firming sculpting cream? and when should we start?
I always believe that prevention is better cure. Yes you should start way before you bust starts sagging and wrinkles starts forming at your décolleté.

So what do i feel about this Maria Galland Firming Bust Sculpting Veil?
It has firming, lifting and moisturising effects!
I suggest not to put excessive amount when using.
Small amount at a time and massage it into your skin.
Excessive amount can cause you to feel oily and sticky after application.

I remember once i met a lady and her neck was totally smooth with little or no lines. She looks like she is in her 30's but her neck looks like 20's. When i ask her about her age, she was actually in her 40's! She started putting neck cream at the age of 20! Did it help her and her neck remain smooth? of course! Would her neck be so nice if she only started at the age of 40? i doubt so.

Prevention is always always better than cure! Everything should start young and anywhere between 25 to 30 will be a good age to start!

216 Gentle Soothing Mask

This is one of the newer product by Maria Galland, 216 Gentle Soothing Mask. What does it do?

- Restores tire and fatigue skin
- Replenishes hydration
- Soothing to sensitive skin due to tiredness and environmental changes

I always use this after my trip because everytime i travel, i realise that my skin feels very tire and dehydrated due to the change in the atmosphere and humility.

The texture of the Mask is like a moisturising cream. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It's comfortable and almost like you had nothing on.

Recommended to apply the mask once a week :)

Types of cleansers

Generally, there are 6 different types of cleansers:
- Cleansing Oil
- Cleansing Cream
- Cleansing Milk
- Cleansing Gel
- Cleansing Foam
- Cleansing soap (traditional bar soap)

The different types of cleansers are usually for a different degree of cleansing, for different skin type and condition. *DISCLAIMER: What i am going to mention is the general content and its function. I do not speak for any brands and their function as with technology, many brands may claim that their items achieve a different results. You got to try to know whether it is suitable for your face!*

Cleansing Oil, usually used for make up removing. This type of cleanser is very necessary if you put on any form of make up or foundation. The oil-base will help dissolve your make up so that they do not clot your pores. However, cleansing oil itself is not enough to keep your face clean.

Cleansing Cream is very rich compared to the other types of cleansers. Recommended for dry skin. If oily skin type people use this, might cause congestion or even outbreak.

Cleansing Milk is usually used after cleansing oil, to help remove both the make up and the oil. Recommended for sensitive skin type and dehydrated skin condition.

Cleansing Gel is for people with oily skin type and dehydrated skin condition. It cleanses deeply and remove the oil but yet it is not too drying.

Cleansing Foam. Foaming cleansers are often the most drying to the skin. Recommended for very oily skin and problem skin with uneven skin tone.

Cleansing bar soap are considered similar to foaming cleansers due to the foaming reaction as it interacts with water before putting onto the face.

Some people like the moist feeling from the cream and the milk cleansers, while some prefer the clean feeling from the gel and the foam cleansers. No matter which type of cleanser suit you best, you should not be feeling dry or tight after cleansing your face. Tightness and dryness shows the lack of hydration in your skin and prolonged usage can cause fine lines and eventually (over long period) will form wrinkles.

After cleansing, whats next?

On SKIN

I am very particular when it comes to skincare! Because what goes on your skin do not just stays on top of your skin! They are being absorbed into the different layers of your skin underneath. What then appears on your skin, is a result of that which went under some time ago.

I will never buy skincare products of the malls, departmental stores or product counters. Reason is simple, most of these staff are paid by commission and they are mostly more concern with getting a sale done, then to get you what you really need. Without proper training and understanding of your skin type and condition, most of the time, it is not just what you see on the outside.

So where should you get your skincare products? Find a beautician or aesthetician whom you can trust. Someone whom you know that has your interest at heart! Do not buy different items from different brand or range because the chemical content of each brand can be very different and by adding on other products from various brands will only make it harder for your beautician or aesthetician to know which item is not suitable for your skin, in the event of complication arises.

Below is the product i am using!

You may or may not find these products overseas, but these are my secret to my skin!
Dermafloral Make Up Removal is a must have if you are always on make up. It helps to remove all waterproof make up without leaving any stains and then wash off with the Milky Lotion that contains minerals and natural plant extracts, the hypoallergenic milky lotion effectively cleanse and dissolve stubborn grime and impurities from my skin.

Days without make up, i will use the Active Cleanser Gel which has a calming and gentle non-irritant cleanser that deeply cleanses my skin. The natural plant extracts leave the skin feeling renewed, refresh and revitalized! Always followed up by the Active Soothing Toner, specially formulated anti-oxidants and purifying ingredients help to refresh and hydrate both sensitive and reactive skin to achieve a healthy and radiant complexion. However, these are not the secret yet.
