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!

S E R U M S - are very importantly to improve your skin condition because it goes deeper than moisturisers.

Being constantly exposed to sun and UV rays, ageing is a process that cannot be stopped. The next best thing we can do is, prevention. Keeping close to me is the MESO+ serum and the MESO Mask.

MESO+ helps to fight against fine lines and wrinkles. Contains Hyaluronic acid essential for anti-ageing, encapsulated retinol that helps to stimulate cell renewal and NCTF promotes cutaneous redensification. After using for 1 month, the fine lines and wrinkles have improved by almost 75%, in fact some of the fine lines are gone! Advise for dry and dehydrated skin, can be a bit rich and not advisable for younger skin.

MESO MASK is a very delicate and precious mask. It enhances radiance, treat wrinkles, helps with fatigue skin and soothes irritation. A mask that is suitable even for sensitive skin! Highly recommended for dry and tire skin. Simply do it once a week and see your skin transform and glow!

I'm so in love with MESO!

Cleanse or not cleanse?

In my previous post on understanding your skin, today we are going to talk about the good and the bad about cleansing your face.

First of all, we need to understand this thing called the Acid Mantle.

Acid Mantle is the thin, slightly acidic film on the surface of our skin. It is made up of our oil + sebum. it's purpose is to act as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that tries to penetrate our skin. Due to its slight acidity, this Acid Mantle helps to neutralise the chemical effects of these contaminants as they are primarily alkaline.

This is why babies to infants and even to children are not advised to use special cleansers to clean their faces. Many times the reason we give is because they are still young. But really, we need to know that we are created in a very amazing way where this Acid Mantle is like a God given protection for our skin.

Then what happens when we enter our puberty years? The food we eat, the stress in school, hormonal changes and imbalance causes this Acid Mantle to be imbalance due to the unequal amount of oil and sebum being produced at different parts of our faces. Very often you hear people will say T-zone oily. That is because our T-zone have got more oil glands compared to our cheeks and neck area.

When you cleanse your face,

you are literally removing this layer of Acid Mantle together with the impurities you feel on your skin. Meaning, your skin will be left 'bare'... unprotected... Therefore, if you wash your face with a good cleanser and do not apply any toner or moisturiser, then i would say that your skin is are a worse or dangerous state. Then it would have been better that you did not wash your face at all.

How harmful are the dirt on your face (When you have your Acid Mantle)? Less harmful than the contaminants that can penetrate your face when the Acid Mantle is being removed.

How long does it take for the new layer Acid Mantle to build up? It takes 4 hours before this natural defence is being built up again.

What is the purpose of a moisturiser? Moisturisers are meant to 'act-as' an Acid Mantle to your skin immediately after you wash your face. To protect your skin from bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that tries to penetrate our skin.

What about the different kind of moisturisers? I will explain that in my future post on moisturisers so stay tune. :)

In conclusion, cleanse or not cleanse? If you will be diligent to apply moisturisers, YES please cleanse you face with a good cleanser that suits your skin! But if you are too lazy to apply moisturisers or do not have a moisturiser that is suitable for your skin, then it is better for you to have not cleanse your face.

My next post will be on what are the different kinds of cleansers and how to identify which is for you. :)
