SKIN CLUB Matcha Body Scrub

Face skincare has been my primary concern for this while. In my opinion, face is the first thing people see in the first time at the moment. I'm proud that my routine skincare has resulted very good on me. But lately, I aware that body skincare is important too. Smooth, healthy, and glowing bodyskin will boost my confidence. So I work up to make my body skin better than before by scrubbing and applying lotion regulary.

Then have you heard about sugar scrub?

It's ordinary scrub you meet in daily life, but the difference is the scrub made by sugar. It belived as high moisturizer while exfoliate dead skin cell. Wow what sugar? Is it the ordinary sugar that I use in my beverages? Yes! It's sugar you have met in your daily life, it used as body scrub :)

I googling about sugar scrub, it turns out that:

Sugar scrub designed to exfoliate the skin, removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and leaving your skin softer and smoother. It is one of the gentlest of all the different types of body scrubs, which can also be done with sea salt, coffee grounds, or rice bran.

A sugar scrub is a good choice is your skin is extremely sensitive or if you have had a salt scrub before and found it scratchy or uncomfortable. (from: http://spas.about.com/)

Now have you understand about sugar scrub?

Be Ready! I want to discuss a sugar scrub in the description above!

SKIN CLUB Matcha Body Scrub, it's a brand new homemade skincare. The brand called SKIN CLUB a local homemade skincare. They make sugar scrub with natural ingredients. There are 2 variants sugar scrub:


1. Vanilla Latte Body Scrub (It's coffee babe!)


2. Mathca Sugar Scrub ( and my favourite variant)

Matcha will be discuss first because this is the most favourite varian to me. Let's jump to the description.

Description:

"Matcha Body Scrub yang berguna untuk mengangkat sel kulit mati. Green tea berfungsi mengurangi kemerahan kulit, acne-prevent, rejuvenasi. Mengembalikan keadaan kulit yang rusak akibat panas matahari."

Packaging:

This is my favourite part! I'm very excited to tell you because the cutest thing on this body scrub is their packaging! As you can see they match the color of packaging with the variant. If green tea variant, they will use green color to match. They design it like cake in jar! hhahaha ;p Even the packaging is cute, for me it's still give natural apperance

Texture:

Everyone knows that sugar is like crystal, when you put it onto your skin then start to massage it over you will feel that it’s rough, grainy, smooth, and rough. As soon as you start to massage the sugar will be dissolve, exfoliate skin and then it leftover residue ( since it’s green tea variant there’ll be green tea particle)

Scent:

As soon as I smell the scrub I remembered “green tea blended”, the most favourite beverage of mine in CINEPLEX 21. I feel green tea and sweet scent which is calming and relaxing. I think it’s just not me who loves green tea so much since green tea gives so much benefits to anyone. Do you addicted to green tea too?

How do it works on me?

Before using SKIN CLUB’s sugar scrub I used Mustika Ratu Lulur Kocok. It’s well named local brand which is available on every supermarket. I used it regulary to exfoliate dead skin cell and the result is good but it’s not moisturizing my dry skin. So I need something which is moisturizing and soothe my skin. Then it’s not a waste if I try another body scrub too, right?

Oh thanks! SKIN CLUB serve us with manual instruction, a guide about their body scrub. In the manual instruction there are the definition of sugar scrub, how to use it, how to keep it , and some of informations. It comes from ordinary paper, but is clear enough to read. It guides us to give the right massage because when you give the wrong step to your skin it will wrinkle faster than normal people do. So it’s important to do the right steps!

SKIN CLUB Matcha Body scrub contains: granulated white sugar to soothe skin and exfoliate, green tea particle for rejuvenate, repair damaged skin, reduce redness, the olive oil for glowing and moisturizing skin, and the last is vitamin E oil for healing, softener, and as antioxidants.

Here we are! We arrived at the result now!

Who doesn’t like smooth, glowing, moisture, clear and health skin appearance? This sugar scrub will give you those effect! Then it will be gives you extra benefits if you diligent to scrub, green tea scrub will give you healthy skin because it against UV sunrays which is damaged skin and rejuvenate skin too! Personnaly, I like homemade skincare besides natural it’s not dangerous at all. I think SKIN CLUB sugar scrub is worth to try.

In the 1pc scrub, I could use it for 5-7 times based on the amount of use. I used it for the entire body and got wet first then applied it. If there’s residue leftover, clean it using soap (but usually I don’t do it to see the result of the scrub). I suggest you to keep in in the right temperature and avoid sunrays.

Moreover before using it mixed sugar scrub using spoon so the olive oil will mix well and maximize the performance. This sugar scrub will expiring about 2,5 months if you have already opened it, if you haven’t it will last for 5 months. It’s not expiring like food which is fusty, but the scrub will dry (or maybe it just me who didn’t keep it right).

MASK REPUBLIC - Oat Green Tea

It's has been maybe 15 days since we had greeted 2014. I'm getting excited but sometimes very bored in the middle of my holidays, nothing to do. Moreover, most of days has been filled by cloudy wheater sometimes cold out there and some other days were burning very hot. Unbalance weather makes my skin run very bad, flaky and dry everywhere.

Since it has been raining lately too and I bet there are many of you are lazy to do anything ( so do I ;p) I'll give you my new review about new product it's still very new and new for my blog post, but still it's skincare to boost up mood swings, then new haul for your skin, wider your knowledge :)

Let me introduce the brand new : MASK REPUBLIC

Sounds bit like NATURE REPUBLIC right ? But it's different, MASK REPUBLIC is origin from Indonesia not Korea. It's homemade facemask. All I know it's made from oatmeal as the main ingredient without any chemical put in these mask. So it's natural, and fit for my sensitive skin :)

There are 3 kind of MASK REPUBLIC product, cinnamon for acne prone skin, green tea for redness and I think it fits for acne prone too, and rosemary for brightening. I have 3 kinds of these mask and I choose to review MASK REPUBLIC - Oat Green Tea as the opening review ☺

Let's begin with description first :
(In Indonesian) "Kandungan Oatmeal dan Green Tea pada masker Oat Green Tea membantu merawat kulit dan membantu mengurangi peradangan dan kemerahan. Masker Oat Green Tea juga dapat meremajakan kulit karena khasiatnya yang dapat menghilangkan racun dari kulitmu yang hasilnya dapat membuat kulit bersih, lembut dan halus."

Packaging:
I love local product who tries using "recycle" concept to creates natural, and no artificial ingredients so the costumer will be sure it's natural, moreover I love this because it's simple enough but worth. It has square 15x10cm then it has sticker for the description. For the mask packaging itself, they use sealer plastic for the powder mask.

Texture:
Now I will tell you that it is powder mask so to use it you need add water to make them as face mask. As the powder itself it's more like microparticle powder and all I see it's not like green tea powder actually because it has ivory color maybe? Or is it because oat-green tea so the green tea color invisible because there are more oat ingredients in it? Hehehehe

Scent:
I love green tea, it's unique one and easy to smell for everybody. Since it's mixed with oatmeal you can feel the smell of wheat and green tea.

How do it works on me?
This last part always make me excited coz I couldn't wait to tell you about the result on me (>v<)

So this green tea mask did a very good job!

I use this green tea mask along with THE BODY SHOP Tea Tea Oil. First, I add adequate water in this mask and mixed it using fingers. You just need to be sure that the water mixed well and the mask become like porridge maybe? You could substitute water with rose water from Mustika Ratu to maximize the function and better smell :) But I'm just using water and add 2/3 drops of THE BODY SHOP Tea Tea Oil which gives mint sensation, fresh, and help to soothes acnes.

Just now I've been asking where is the green tea color? Yeah they visible after I gave them some water and the green tea particle appear :)

After 10 minutes using MASK REPUBLIC Oat Green Tea Mask you could clean up using clean water, All I can feel is my face is very smooth and smell like green tea, I love this ♥.♥  Then I could see that my face become clearer that before. This just need 10 minutes to take these effects. These effect last maybe for 1 day, if you do this frequently maybe it will last more than 1 day.

So I'm satisfied with MASK REPUBLIC Oat Green Tea Mask, I have all variants green tea, rose mary,and cinnamon but choose Oat Green Tea Mask as the best for me, maybe it will be different for you. I promise I'll give you review about the others 2 :)

I found MASK REPUBLIC on instagram @maskrepublic, they offer free shipping for buying 3pcs as long as your shipping is under 20K, They ship by JNE. I have found they have few good testimonials too! most of them are satisfied, glad to hear that! Local product is good too ;)

 

I can't show you a lot of difference between before and after on my face, I think this green tea gives internal effect that smoothen my face. Since there's no redness on my face so I show you whether it relieves redness or not, but it sure do lot smoothen and clearer face. This effect has difference for each other on me it smoothen lot, so you should try it on yourself to see the effect !! I believe green tea has sebum control but It doesn't dry my skin too :)

Like:

♥ Green Tea scent
♥ Soothes skin
♥ Very Smooth
♥ Clearer

NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

I was being curious by some reviews of top beauty bloggers who are tried NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. They says it is very good product but affordable, even you can use it for your entire body! So I immediately bought it and I can't wait to try it!

For the first impression NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel looks like ordinary aloe. It packed in a green transparent plastic can. It contains 300ml of aloe which NATURE REPUBLIC got from California, they even got certified from aloe farmers organization in California. Yeah for me it's just ordinary aloe but NATURE REPUBLIC packed it like an amazing aloe from California so their buyers will attracted by them. Fortunately they sell it with affordable price too :)

Even though NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel appearance looks like ordinary aloe but the function is out of ordinary or 'jjang' in Korean. At first I couldn't believe with some beauty bloggers said it could use on every part of our body.So I tried it like what they said to prove it.

But before I show you how it works, I want to let you know about NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel texture and scents. NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel texture isn't like the original aloe, it's more watery than the original. I love the scent of it, It's smells like fresh aloe! You won't get bore by its scent.

So how do it works on me? I will start it from hair to toe nails!

1. Hair
You can use it as hair mask or just to shine your hair. If you use it for your hair before shampoo,you could just rub it on your hair then wait 30 minutes then clean it with cold water and shampooing. Result? It moisturize, and make your hair easy to set. If you use it to shine your dull hair, first braid your hair become 3 parts then grab some aloe soothing, rub it on your palm and slightly rub it gently on your braid hair. It will shine your hair instantly!

2. Face
Having dry skin lately? You can NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel too as face mask. How ? if you are practical person, you can just apply it on your bare face, leave it for 15-20 minutes and wash your face using warm water. Or if you have many spare time you could mix aloe soothing gel with yogurt or fruits so it will maximize your skincare. Result ? Of course it will moisture your skin , in addition you can get smoother and elastic texture skin.

3. As Makeup
I bet you must be very curious how do this aloe soothing gel become your makeup companion. First you can use it as liptint.
How to make it?
Get some container like small bowl. then put a little bit aloe vera and add your very red liptint in to it. stir it well and done! So now you could make your very red liptint into similiar color with your lips and aloe ingredients will moisturize your lips too.
Second you could make your eyelash primer from this soothing gel. I haven't tried this one but some said it worked. How? It's very easy, first get you unused mascara brush, clean it through and voila! use it as you mascara primer brush, mascara primer purpose to make your mascara long last and easy to apply.

4. As eye patch

Swollen eyes and tired eyes is common problems for everyone, especially the one who often sees computer for hours. First, get some cotton pad not the usual cotton! What is it look like ? (just see on my picture below) Then put some aloe in the pads, put them on the refrigerator maybe for hour and they are ready to use. This trick gives my eyes cooling sensation and moisturize a lot! It help me to treat my deary eyes because of heavy activities such computering for almost 10 hours.

5. As Body Lotion
I have dry skin type for my body. It requires an extra care like using body lotion, but as you know there are many body lotion which is sticky and it's uncomfortable. But using aloe soothing gel makes me want to rub it more and more onto my body. Plus it has very fresh smell dan asorbs fast!

6. After shave lotion
For a girl who needs extra work to remove body's hair means I have to keep my body's skin from irritation because frequent waxing. Use NATURE REPUBLIC 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel help me avoid having scar and irritation from waxing. Or you could use it for lotion before you shave you eyebrow.

BEEBALM, MY NEW BESTFRIEND, MY SAVIOUR :)

It’s my first post on August.The weather is very very cold and windy for past  few weeks,  and unfortunately I got sick. It’s has been 1 week since I caught heavy flu L. Start with a little runny nose,headache,stiff all over my body,and sore throat. Guess what ? I got some presents from my lovely ‘Flu’ , first I got irritation around my nose ( Because I have to throw ‘fluids’) plus some bonuses : redness and flaky around my nose, second present ? Dry lips  are welcoming me :’). What Should I do now??? It’s like a nightmare for me..

Some says “ There’s light at the end of tunnel “ , Yeaahh! It’s true! I met BEEBALM a local brand new in Indonesia.Maybe some people  assume me too excessive with that quote but I don’t care anymore because I met my saviour at the end of tunnel.

So What is Beebalm?

Let me tell you :

it’s a balm for moisturize dry skin,rough skin, and chapped for lips,elbow,heel,knee and nail cuticle.

BeeBalm’s Content:

Combination of beeswax with Extra Virgin Oilve Oil which is very great combination for keep healthy skin, moisture and antibacteria agent. Beside that, BeeBalm added with Natural Essence Oil for increase scent on BeeBalm product.

You could use it for:

     1.       Moisturize your dry and rough skin

     2.       Moisture dry lips

     3.       Protect lips from chemichal ingredients in lipstick

     4.       Mantain darken lip’s tone

     5.       Soften elbow,knee and heel’s texture

     6.       Moisturize dry and chapped legs

     7.       Heal skin erruption (itchy, allergy)

Packaging ?

BeeBalm’s packaging box is nuance with yellow colors. BeeBalm has all natural stamp which surround beeswax symbol/ picture. But I’ll tell you the unique part is BeeBalm’s logo, it’s very cute to use one of bee’s wing as their logo’s text, cute! BeeBalm use a little jar, simple one but it’s comparable with their value.

Texture and scent?

Like the other balm, BeeBalm is firm one but very smooth when you try to swab it on your skin. It asorbs well to and leave nice and smooth scent, make me feel relax J

Do you want to see how they work on me?

For me it is frustating week. Uncomfy weather torturing me by caught heavy cold, dry and flaky skin, chapped lips, irritation around my nose and bit allergy of immediately climate change (itchy allergy on some parts my body).Sounds terrible for everyone right?

Accompanied by my new lil’ friend : BeeBalm, it’s heal my problems a little by little. Start with my dry lips which is get better only 1 day! It’s very great thing to me, there’s no more dry ,flaky and bit bleeding on my lips ;D

Some irritation and redness around my nose take 2 days to get better, even there’s some annoying flakes around nose still it’s very good to me since the redness gone and sore caused by irritation leave immediately.

How about my itchy allergy? I couldn’t show you the picture, but I’ll tell you this is very good balm to soothes your itchy allergy or mosquito’s bite. When you apply it on the itchy spot there’s no mint or cold sensation like using tawon oil, axe oil, or the other salve. It’s moisturize too.

This is flaky (i couldn't capture it well) and red nose (i got scar too!)

after 2 days it got better ^^ ( only the scar yet)

very-very dry lips :(

The next day :)

My opinion, this new local brand won’t dissapoint you, they sell it with great value in my pocket. I love BeeBalm perfomance to heal all my problems above. Still I couldn’t believe it’s local brand because BeeBalm created like natural homemade foreigner brands. You should try it on first place!

Like :

♥ Easy to use.

♥ Safe to daily use.

♥ Small but has very big utility.

Don’t Like:
