Baiklah. Mat tengahari pada korang yang tetiber melawat blog ni. Selamat bercuti. Aku bosan cuti-cuti duk umah jadi mari lah kite baca apa plak aku nak cakap kali ni ya.

My skincare routine has been changed lately due to my laziness. Lol. Since i'm not doing anything right now, so let me talk about my skincare routine. Sajer nak ngeshare apa kite pakai. WARNING, this post is going to be a loooong post. So keep on reading! :)

Jadi memula aku pakai cleanser dulu.

1.  Cleanser - Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser

I have been using this cleanser ntah bape lama dah but currently this was my 2nd tube. Aku sejenis pemalas la nak mencoba cleanser itu la ini laa. Jadi aku lekat kat produk ni jelah. Very recommended for those yang tetiber naik jerawat kecik-kecik. Tak tau apa punca jerawat datang, ngko cuci la dengan cleanser ni sumpah dia hilang. Read THIS if you missed my review on this product.

     2.  Day - Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence || Night - Face Masks

During the day, i put the sunscreen on. Only sunscreen. No toner or moisturizer. This is my favorite sunscreen so far. It feels very lightweight and watery. It's a non-comedogenic product, unless you dont wash it properly you will find tiny bumps on the next morning. 

No toner?? Boleh ke tak pakai? Boleh aje kalau hampa tau lah kulit hampa perlukan apa. I have tried putting on toner before. I have tried many products. But i guess it didn't have any positive effects at all..in my opinion lah. Aku pentingkan duit sebenarnya lol. Haha buat apa habis duit beli toner kalau tuan badan sendiri tak nampak efek dia. So that's why i think its ok to skip toner. 

What about moisturizer?? Moisturizer is the important step in skincare routine. Yes, it is important to moisturized your skin ifff......you have dry skin. Lagi-lagi foreigners duk luar negara tu dorang pentingkan moisturizer. Well me basically, i duk Malaysia je...and i have oily skin, i sweat a lot as well...why do i need to keep moisturizing ma face? Lagi satu pulak aku pakai pun bila aku rasa kulit ketat or kering sangat je. Baru bubuh. My face is already moisturized and hydrated. Dont worry honey lol

Apart from that, during the night i will put my face masks. Any brands will do except Savee face masks. Coz am too scared to put that masks from Savee all over my face. Dia punya mask aku tengok cam tak leh trusted ahh. Tak tau la asal rasa camtu. Dengan murahnya singgit dia jual. This is only my instinct yang tah pape. There's nothing bad happen pun. If you're a fan of Savee face masks, carry on. Don't mind me. I'm just being cheap n cautious. Haha. Btw, i'm using their eye mask & blackhead mask only. 

My favorite face mask so far is from The Face Shop, yang The Solution tu. Dia banyak jenis, ce tengok gambar atas. But the one with smoothing face mask (contains BHA) is my favorite! I love it. Sumpah glowing, licin teruk lah. I guess because of the BHA yang sesuai untuk orang yang ada blackhead/whitehead cam aku and acne prone kinda skin. Any other brands that i like is SEP face masks. Baru try tak leh bagi review gempak sangat haha. Since i skip the two most important steps in skincare routine, which is toner & moisturizer, i focus on putting the face masks at night. I choose the one that have good ingredients macam The Solution from The Face Shop. I choose between yang moisturizing, yang focusing on skin care, and yang bagi smoothing efek. 

   3.  Night - Freeman Facial Clay Mask Avocado & Oatmeal

In between my face mask routine during the night, i put clay mask. I have an oily skin so i need to get rid of that oil with this one. My opinion on this product?? Well.....i cannot say much. Sebab aku tak nampak sangat dia punya improvement. Well..it says it can deep clean & purifies pores. I dont know how to say on that one because i didnt see much improvement. Let's just say it really feels like the product took away the oil from my skin. It feels a little dry so baru lah aku put on my moisturizer. Ok it does feels soft on the skin after i washed it with lukewarm water. I put on clay mask like 2-3 times a week depends on my skin condition. When i feel my skin gets greasy than before, i stop the face mask routine and put on this clay mask. 

    4.  Night - Hada Labo Tamagohada Mild Exfoliating Face Wash AHA+BHA (Oil Control)

taken from Google

Ni pun sejenis tengok skin condition camne, baru aku pakai. Agak-agak rasa macam kasar-kasar, kulit naik jerawat, plus lagi berminyak ke..aku taruk la ni. Ok yang ni bertindak sebagai exfoliate. Exfoliation ada 2 jenis. Satu yang Chemical Exfoliation, satu lagi Physical Exfoliation. Chemical exfoliation macam hada labo aku pakai kat gambar atas. Ada active ingredients dalam product ni contoh; AHA, BHA (Hyaluronic acid). Dia punya liquid macam face wash biasa yang lain, very creamy in white color. Feels a bit dry so standby moisturizer. Feel soft too. Kat situ dia stated boleh control oil tapi biasa je aku rasa haha lol. So yang Physical exfoliation plak dia sejenis scrub, kita boleh rasa bijik-bijik kat tangan itu lah bendanya. So kadang-kadang bila terasa nak pakai scrub, aku pakai la scrub from Nanowhite Fresh. Sometimes, tibai mak aku punya Eversoft Organic Apricot & Mulberry Blackhead Clearing. Yang scrub tu aku tak leh bagi review sebab curi-curi pakai. Nak gosok dia punya bijik je.

Honestly, ni je routine aku. Tak banyak. Dulu la aku gila sikit skincare ni semua nak kena ada, toner la, moisturizer la, serum la, etc etc. Now aku rasa kedekut sikit nak beli benda-benda ni, btw kulit aku tak perlu sangat pun. You just have to know your skin type/skin condition. Aku pentingkan face mask je. Sebab dia repair skin at night masa kita tengah rest. And one more thing, aku senang lentok bila taruk face mask. Dia rasa relax je. Kalau tak, selalu je aku kena insomnia. Tak pasal esok hari mengantok padahal masuk tidur awal. 

Review: Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser.

Lama lak rasanya abaikan blog ni. Kahkah. Ok tetiba nak buat review sikit pasal cleanser yang pastinya ramai yang kulit berminyak suka cleanser ni. I kulit berminyak and I love this cleanser!! Sebelum I pakai cleanser Neutrogena, I pakai yang Nano White Fresh foam cleanser. Since I have oily skin, I want a cleanser yang berbuih banyak sebab dia rasa puas hati tau bila kita cuci muka tu takda rasa berminyak. Cuma yang cons ialah dia akan rasa sedikit tegang pada kulit dan minyak akan keluar dengan cepat. Cleanser yang foamy ada SLS. Apa tu? Ha SLS ialah Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. SLS ni lah yang menyebabkan terjadinya cleanser tu berbuih. Orang yang kulit kering biasanya akan avoid this ingredient sebab dia akan mengeringkan kulit. 

Masa I pakai cleanser Nano White Fresh tu I ada moisturizer dia sekali. So tiap kali kalau rasa kering lepas cuci muka I apply moisturizer terus. Tapi sekarang moisturizer dia habis, and I ada benda lain yang wajib beli daripada moisturizer ni so I rasa nak skip moisturizer. Tapi orang lain jangan la rasa macam senang-senang je nak skip moisturizer jugak. Nak skip boleh, tapi kena tahu kulit muka kita macam mana. I lepas pakai Neutrogena, I rasa better je tak pakai moisturizer. Tapi masa pakai Nano White Fresh, I wajib pakai moisturizer. 

Ok kita terus kepada my honest review. Sebelum tu meh kita baca sedikit label/instructions/ingredients yang ada pada produk ni. Jommmmmmm.

Sebelum tu nak cerita macam mana boleh terfikir nak beli cleanser brand ni? Ok memula I tak tau pun brand Neutrogena ni sesuai untuk oily skin dan ramai oily skin yang suka. Actually i was looking for a cleanser that contains Salicylic Acid. I kat Guardian masa tu tengah godek-godek produk yang ada Salicylic Acid. SA ni sesuai untuk orang yang kulit berminyak, acne-prone, orang yang ada whitehead/blackhead. So masa kat guardian tu I perasan brand Himalaya yang Neem Face Wash kalau tak silap, pun ada SA. Tapi hati tergerak nak beli Neutrogena dan nak keluar daripada guardian cepat sebab lama sangat lepak dalam tu lol. Harga tak ingat.

Ni baru nak cerita review dia! Macam I cakap tadi, bila I pakai Neutrogena ni I skip moisturizer. Sebab dia tak rasa kering langsung. Cleanser ni deep clean kot, nak-nak pulak I cuci guna berus pobling. Tau tak pobling? Yang femes dulu tu kat ig. Ha pakai berus tu, lagi la deep clean kan. Pastu lagi satu, kedudukan SLS dalam ingredients adalah yang kedua, bermakna bahan tu kedua paling tinggi. So I syak mesti banyak buih dia and pasti kering. But nope! Series tak kering. Hari-hari i pakai pobling memang tak kering. Tu yang tiba-tiba i terpikir nak skip moisturizer. Sebab dia rasa moist kat kulit. Kalau nak cerita pasal pori-pori, tak ada perubahan apa-apa. I percaya yang peranan cleanser cuma nak membersih/mencuci je so i tak berharap pun pasal pori-pori. Kalau jerawat, yap dia surut. Sebab cleanser ni dia deep clean kan so kotoran tu dah hilang and jerawat surut sedikit demi sedikit. Dulu i tak cuci muka satu hari sebab tak ada masa. Bangun pagi je ada jerawat kecik-kecik macam pori-pori tersumbat. Agaknya minyak dah tersumbat dalam pori. I guna cleanser ni, sekali dengan clay mask, tepek madu, dah okay. Dah hilang. Oh ya, i kadang-kadang tepek madu pada muka sebagai moisturizer. Maksudnya i takda la tak pakai moisturizer langsung. Haha. 

Dia punya tekstur cecair macam gel. Berbuih tu ya tapi tak banyak. Bagi i tak banyak la. Bau wangi and warna cecair tu oren. Satu pump dah cukup nak bersihkan seluruh wajah. Dia boleh bertahan dalam 5/6 bulan depends pada kekerapan anda menggunakannya. So i finally found a cleanser yang sesuai! Yeayyyy. Lepas ni memang repeat yang ni je. Kalau cleanser i jenis pemalas nak mencuba produk tu produk ni. So just stick to Neutrogena. Lain lah moisturizer, i suka tukar-tukar. Alrite dats all from meh! Chaw!
