[Review] The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil

I've been eyeing this range since it was launched. I was drawn by its beautiful packaging and name, it looks like a promising range. But I didn't get it first hand because I though this one was more appropriate for mature, aging skin. Besides, I already have oily skin, why do I have to smears another oil in my face?

But after hitting my mid-20s and approaching 30s, where usually sign of age started to shows, I was thinking about adding a skincare which helps me prevents fine lines. Using anti aging cream was way too overkill for me, and what I need was to nourish my face with a lot of antioxidants to help fights early stage of aging. After I read about the benefit of facial oil in face, and after I use olive oil in my face (will be reviewed soon). I decided to try this out, I bought these while it was discounted 25% off. And here is my experience:

Worst food For Acne Prone Skin

I've been battling with acne since I was 10 years old. I got my acne since I was in elementary school, and I got bullied, even from my teacher that told me that I did not wash my face well or I as poor in hygiene (Bad teacher!). Acne was one of my biggest concern in my teenager, as it affects my self-esteem. I tried so many different products and went to see a lot of doctor to treat my acne.

The one turning point for me was when I see a doctor, she did not really give me much of topical creams/cosmetics and only said to me that I need to watch my food. At first, I was skeptical, how can I heal my acne only by watching what I eat?

But after I tried to follow her advice. I notice that food is indeed one of my main triggers for acne. I notice that certain food are really bad for me. So these are the list of worst food for acne prone skin.

[Review] The SAEM See & Saw A.C. Control Patch

I've seen the SAEM counter so many times, but I've never been interested in trying out their product before because I've rarely heard anything about them, plus their counter is always empty - unlike inisfree who always filled with people.

the SAEM is a South Korean cosmetic brand that emphasize their eco-friendly way of producing cosmetics by only using natural and recyclable materials. Despite being a Korean cosmetic brand, their brand isn't as hyped as inisfree, laneige, sulwhasoo, etude, and other korean cosmetic brand that is currently on the rise recently. I tried to search more about this brand, but I found very little review of their products. Even they didn't take care of their official website (I tried to access the official Indonesian SAEM website, but they have very little information about their product, branch, etc.)

Last week, I developed a cystic acne in my left cheek due to eating inappropriately. The acne was big, deep and quite red. So when I visited the SAEM counter, I decided to try out their acne patch called The SAEM See & Saw A.C. Control Patch. The store attendant tried to sell me their Red Solution & Dark Solution, but since I already use Tea Tree Oil, I only bought the patch. I actually have no experience in using acne patch before, so this will be the first.

[Review] Garnier Pure Active Anti Acne White Acne & Oil Clearing Scrub

I was never a fan of Garnier before, because I thought their product has too much chemical. My first Garnier exposure was Garnier White Complete which irritates my skin. But not until my sister bought this Garnier Pure Active Anti Acne White Clearing Scrub, and I decided to try hers and I was surprised on how it clears out my skins. So I decided to buy one my own and replace my cleanser with this.

[Review] The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Review

For an acne prone skin like me, Tea Tree oil is a necessity in my skin-care routine. I used to have tea tree oil from Oriflame, but it has been discontinued (It always irks me how fast Oriflame product get discontinued), so I looked for a replacement and find this Tea Tree Oil from TBS local store. I've been using this oil for a while (since 2013) and I'd like to share my experience with it.

[Review] Oriflame Optimals Even Out CC Face Cream SPF 20 Review

As a woman with a super sensitive and acne-prone skin. I'm always skeptical with 2-in-1, 3-in-1 and all-in-one cosmetics. So when BB cream was a hit, I never consider to buy one. However, when Oriflame launched Optimals Even Out CC Face Cream, I was so curious to try it. Since it was on a discount and only cost around $8-10 at that time, I decided to buy one. And now I ended up repurchasing it 3 times since 2015, and has include it in my daily routine. Here's my complete review.

[Review] The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate

I bought this accidentally when I went to Body Shop on its 25th anniversary. I've always been curious about this because of its beautiful packaging and its inviting name, Drops of Youth. Since I'm hitting mid 20's, I think it's about time for me to look for anti-aging serum for prevention. Once I saw that it was on a 25% discount, I immediately buy it.
