Hello everyone! If any of you guys reads my blog, you'd know that I've previously written a review on SkinSoul Ultra Soft Facial Towelettes. Today, the review will still be on SkinSoul but this time, it's on their skin care series known as SkinShield. (As mentioned before, despite this being a sponsored review, I will be honest and unbiased in my review to ensure that all you readers are aware of the good, and the bad)
So, upon reading up more about SkinSoul, I stumbled across this website and found out that SkinSoul was founded and developed Dr Joanne Au Yeong (that's her website btw). As promising as their tagline sound 'The Soul Of Your Skin', Dr Jo created his products to be in line with being natural, organic and as environmental savvy as possible. By doing so, we can preserve our Mother Earth and preserving our youth as well. They also believe in using top quality ingredients for the best results.
SkinSoul SkinShield Travelling Set (RM500)* Read till the end for some exciting news!
SkinSoul is determined to not include harmful ingredients in their products thus, all their products are 100% Paraben-free. Although Paraben helps in preventing bacterial growth, it is also proven to be harmful to us as it might produce an agent in our body that has been linked with breast cancer.
To counter the bacterial growth in the products however, SkinSoul uses Ashitaba in all their products. Ashitaba is a plant that has approximately existed almost 2,000 years ago and it has thrived in the rich vocanic soil of Hachi Jo Island in Japan. Ashitaba literally means "tomorrow's leaf" in Japanese because of it's ability to grow again the next day after being plucked.
With Ashitaba as the main ingredient in their products, I had this belief that it would more or less make my skin healthier, even by just finishing the travel set hehehe.
Just finished work, yo! I messed up my eyebrows but I was rushing so YOLO hahaha
Then I finished removing my make-up with the wonderful SkinSoul Ultra Soft Facial Towelettes, look how clean and refreshing my skin look even before washing face. It has never happened before because my previous wipes are all oil-based and it made my skin super uncomfortable.
Let's start with the routine, shall we? I will give my opinions on the products as I go. :)
Okay, maybe you can't see clearly, but we only need to pour out the size of our current 20 cent coin.
Put a little bit of water and you can start washing your face.
Verdict: I really, really like this facial cleanser as it has foam, but not so much that it dries up your skin. I don't really fancy facial cleanser with no foam because I always think that my face is not clean enough after cleansing whereas the one with a lot of foam dries up my skin so bad that after washing, I can't even smile without feeling tensed.
Next, I put on the lotion. Hydrates, energized and pore-refining. Everything that I ever needed and wanted.
Put the toner on a cotton pad and wipe it gently across your face as it will further cleanse your skin by removing impurities and oil that clog pores that lead to blemishes and break-outs.
Verdict: The lotion has a very light water-like texture that actually freshens up your skin when you apply it. With my usual skin care, even after applying lotion, I still feel that my skin is really tight and dry but with SkinSoul, even with just lotion, my skin feel great enough to face the world.
Serum that helps with combating ageing skin by infusing nutrients into the deepest layers of the skin to help restore skin elasticity and firmness. However, with such powers, people who are prone to break-outs are adviced to apply it less frequently as it might prompt beak-outs.
Verdict: As my skin is very sensitive and I will randomly have red patches especially during hot weather, the application of the serum actually prompted more of it. I believe it's because the serum is to strong for my skin thus I used it sparingly instead of daily. The serum is sticky upon application but as it dries off, the stickiness will disappear too but I do feel slight discomfort to my skin after the application, like the serum is too thick. I guess it's just not for my skin.
The night cream will work overnight to repair your skin when you sleep.
Verdict: Similar to the serum, the cream is slightly sticky upon application. However, when it dries off, you don't feel a thing anymore. The cream does not clog up your pores and after about a week using it, I can see some slight improvement on my skin. Oh, and did I mention, this is one of the rare face cream that you can apply on your eye areas as well to reduce the fine lines!
This cream works as a day cream, sun block and a base cream for make up! And no, it's not 3-in-1, it's 12-in-1. Here's a list of what the 12s are.
1) Hydrates and protects skin
2) Unifies complexion 3) Brightens up skin 4) Evens out skin tone 5) Conceals and corrects blemishes 6) Fights the signs of aging
7) Protects skin from UV rays
8) Strengthens skin health 9) Soothes skin irritation 10) Fends off free radicals 11) Stimulates skin rejuvenation 12) Imparts radiant glow to facial countenance |
Here's an example to show you that the day cream follows your skin tone as you apply it on, yet it evens out your skin tone, something I desperately need too!
JENG JENG!
Verdict: I have had my fair share of experience using sunblock that acts as a base cream as well and most of them, as I can remember has very thick texture that end up clogging up my pores and make my skin feel uncomfortable along the day but surprisingly, this particular cream does the exact opposite. Not only does the cream even out my skin tone, my skin don't feel clogged up and my skin is able to breath throughout the day. Definitely one of my favourite!
