CLIV, Help for All Loose Pores, 3X Pore Tightening Ampoule

Pores one of the things that is not easy to take care of. especially once it has been widen up it. Pores become bigger in many ways, aging, long term oily skin tend to have larger pores, too much peel offs, too much pore deep cleansing without tightening it back, and even long term clogged pores all cause pore widening. This get worse as it get wider because wider it is the easier it gets clogged, washing it off with deep cleansing (probably not doing it right) cause more pore problems and in the end widen up the pores. It's a one terrible cycle that once you fall in, it's hard to get out.

I usually ask them to use something that has pore tightening effects. But I realized, it's doing peeling and moisturizing the right way is the way for preventing pore enlargement. Yes preventing. Its almost impossible to reduce pore size when it's already so widen. So many celebrities use layer surgery to reduce pores but even that if you don't know the exact reason why your pore is widening it will not work for long.

(If you like a more in depth review about pore care let me know on the comments below!)

It's important that you know what's causing your pore to enlarge and that you are doing the exfoliate the right way and do deep moisturizing afterwards. Cool moisturizing sheet mask after peeling works too. But still, this is preventing pore widening, how about the pores that already lost it's strength?

That's where this ampoule comes in, I searched many products out there and looked for something cheap and yet large quantity and also effective with high quality.
I was battling between Swanicoco and CLIV but just until I get my monthly wage I will first go with CLIV and do another pore tightening swanicoco review later. Maybe next month or so XD


Tightening Ampoule Against Widened Pores, Loosened Skin and Dryness
I have high expectation from this product.
I hope it really works as all the people say about it


It's has a nice eyedropper and if you look closely it has gold powder inside the liquid
Eye dropper really helps to control the amount.
The Texture is very water and will easily spill so it's best to drop a small drop all over your face and tap it as you spread.
We all know how gold it use for various beauty method.



OVERALL OPINION
Texture is very watery with gold powder once it is spread it makes this barrior that seem to there was bit of tight stickiness that some girls might not be used to
But overall it has a fast absorbency, not so sticky as you think it would be.
But to some this barrior tightening might feel strange.
I liked it because it helps other skin care to absorb better because it clings better.
Thanks to the ampoule

Today I did not upload Before After effect of this ampoule because no matter how I took the picture it doesn't seem to show very well.
Skin Care products tend to be the hardest to take picture of Before and After,
And needs various options for the picture to express what I want.

But this also means that to see change it means you need to consistently use the product. Love that it is 100ml a good amount that you can use for a very long time with this one product. 

I did see effect, and I do like that it is very moisturizing that with this ampoule I can just skip other skin care if the weather is dry. (Should have gotten this during the summer what a bummer) It's very moisturizing which is important for pore care, Love the fast absorbency, and the effect it gives.

Pore tightening is a long way care.
And it's best to do it before your pores start to cause problem.
I recommend this product to those who needs more care for pore tightening

Daltokki, Whitening Makeup Base, Whitening Essence

Whitening Essence, I always have these product that you can easily brighten up your tone by a lot and also something that you mix with other products to brighten up your skin tone. Also Sometimes product colors in Korean Brand are so narrow, there isn't much options and some girls find their skin right in the between 21 and 23 and always in trouble which one to find. I also sometimes find colors that are in between I can buy both colors and mix them together but some time it's bit too costly.

If I have this essence I can easily mix it to bright up the colors. Also I use it for makeup base. I used many of these types before and reviewed on it, like Pioom 2NE1 Secret Whitening Cream, Tony moly panda cream.

Now that I finished using them, I needed another one. It's bit boring for a makeup blogger to use the same ones again, when there are thousand more to explore!
So the next one is Daltokki meaning Moon Rabbit in Korean. This brand doesn't have much product but each products are quiet famous among makeup blogger. I decided to give it a try and introduce you a new brand and new products.


Product Features
Whitening Essece (Whitening effect)
Whitening essence makes your skin immediately white and also has whitening effect that makes even the skin inside to be white.

Ingredients
Water, Butylene Glycol, cyclopenta siloxane, titanium dioxide, glycerine, arbutin, poly methyl methacrylate, talc, polysorbate 60, propylene glycol, neutral ahwooseu article ready tooth-less fruit extract, horse extract, extract blank platinum extract, rice bran extract, bean extract, colo synth fruit extract, sodium polyacrylate, diglycerol, C13-14 isoparaffin, polyacrylamide, laureth-7, mica, Polyglyceryl -3 methyl glucose distearate , ethyl hexyl glycerin, a tree ruffle Reel Talk Chicago silane, hydroxy samik caprylic acid, glyceryl acrylate rilka frills, this dt di sodium, iron oxide red


Isn't the package just SO cute? Look at the white rabbit! 
So ugly but so hilarious to see every morning XD
The rabbit will star at you with that eyelashes as if daring you to become white like it.

It's a nice clean pumping product and one pump is this much amount.
It's quite watery but the moist evaporate so fast.
Like the other two products I have review this product also tend to have matte finish which is bit drying. 
I like the matte finish because it's not sticky and doesn't get into all over the clothes
And since this is for body use too, you don't want the cream getting into clothes especially black clothes.

So what I like to do is mix it with whitening cream which makes a very natural whitening
Also solves the issue of the cream being too drying.

BEFORE / AFTER

See the natural color when you mix it with the cream?
If you are okay with drying apply little layer over the skin and spread as quickly as possible. Or it might get just too crakey, controlling the amount is important too.

This is what happens if you fail to control the amount


You can see that it gets stuck between the cracks I applied bit too much on first try
And as you can see it does have dry matte finish that so many blog reviewers are so sad about. This products is all great but that one point that it's drying.

So like I have explained numerous times, with this product it's best to mix it with moisturizing cream, You can mix this with sun cream too for the last skin care step. So that you wouldn't need to apply makeup base afterwards. It will turn out much natural.
Or like I said mix it with foundation for more brightening and lighter skin tone.

I like the fact that you can use this for every where.
All over your body, where the skin easy gets darkened.
I tend to mix it with body cream after shower that help light up the tone.
Since it also helps with whitening inside it really brightens up the skin tone permanently.

Interested in this product? Go purchase Daltokki Whitening Essence

Tony Moly, Volume Base, BCdation All Master Comparison

I liked the first version Tony Moly BCdation and I heard that All Master came out afterwards, I was very curious of the difference. Also a reader requested, how can I resist? Just another excuse to buy more makeup base. (*Eyeing my stack of cushion*) Well, cushion and foundation is totally different things (right girsl?), I needed that BCdation All Master.

I will be doing a short comparison with BCdation and the All master, let see how the product changed.


All master design, bit more chic than the last series.

Ingredients
Cyclopenta siloxane, binghasu, titanium dioxide, purified water, not blood / blood sebum -19/19 dimethicone, diglycerol, di-isostearyl malate, propylene glycol, cyclohexanone siloxane, phenyl trimethoxy chikon, sodium hyaluronidase Nate, niacinamide, zinc oxide, glycerin, sodium chloride, talc, SH-octa-peptide 4, Hydro jeneyi Painted polydecene, gelatin, gum arabic, rengeul pentyl glycol, baobab tree seed oil, argan tree kernel oil, ethyl hexyl-up bait, jimo extract, hydro jeneyi Painted poly isobutene, shea butter, mica, silica, tin oxide, fluorinated synthetic graphite sample logo, wanggyul peel oil, silicone quaternium -22, tocopheryl acetate, dimethicone -10's blood , distearate dimonium hectorite, propylene glycol, poly glyceryl caprate -3, the tree ruffle Reel Talk Chicago silane, hit a tree, citrate, cocamidopropyl betaine, dimethicone hydrogen, cyclotetrasiloxane , tocopherol, adenosine, palmitate Tommy also trimonium chloride, sodium polyacrylate, sodium di dt this, phenoxyethanol, caprylic rilgeul glycol, ethyl hexyl glycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide , black iron oxide, spices

Features Ad's Promise 
Volume up your face (Clinical Trial Done)
48 hours Moisturizing (Clinical Trial Done)
24 long lasting color (Clinical Trial Done)
Skin Allergy Safe (Clinical Trial Done)


Unlike BCdation, All Master has only one color.
Quiet similar to BCdation but I feel its more closer to BB cream.
More sticky more denser than BCdation
The original was more moisturizing but had low coverage
All Master is has higher coverage but less moisturizing

So if you are not careful, I think any skin type might have been cakey problem
To use this product it's important you do your skin care very moisturizing

Another way to prevent cakey makeup is to use puff for this.
and apply really lightly over your face and tap it to help it cling better onto the skin
If you feel dry, you can even spray some mist onto the puff or sponge before you tap some of this cream on.
Or you can mix some moisturizing cream and this cream to give more moist.

I personally think that if you can really do good skin care and moist puff applying method and fix the dryness, the high coverage this bb cream has can really give your face a clean look and round. Giving more radiant atmosphere on your face.

BEFORE AFTER

Comparison with 
BCdation VS BCdation All Master


The website did a nice comparison too
Coverage
★★★ /★★★★
Moisturizing
★★★ /★★★★
Finish
★★★★ /★★★★
Light Reflect
★★★ /★★★★

Well this is the brand's opinion I did a good comparison to help you see.
Maybe you might think differently.

 BCdation / BCdation All MAster

I think I failed the amount control on BCdation All Master
It looks bit thick on the picture.
This is why I suggest less cream that you would have used for BCdation.
The colors are similar, All master bit more yellowish probably because of powder for higher coverage.
But they both absorb fast into the skin giving a nice clean feeling

OIL TEST
 BCdation / BCdation All MAster

All Master had a lot more oil and wasn't as round cream as it was
you can see there is bit of texture difference here in the picture
I was surprised how much oil BCdation All Master had.
But you don't need to worry about betting greasy makeup.
Because All Master had this fast absorbency that I didn't think there would be this much oil. Actually it's quiet drying if you apply bit too much so I was bit surprised of this result.

**UPDATE 2015**

I no longer recommend this to dry skin The bcdation will dry out your skin

The Skin House, Organic None Sticky, Eye Cream

Eye cream, it's something that we all have or heard about but not many younger girls tend to buy eye cream. Mostly it's expensive and small amount. Sticky after use, and they don't seem to make much difference.

That is why in these 1+1+1 sales (You pay for one but get 3 in total) I stock up eye cream. Around eyes is a very think layer of skin unlike your cheeks and chin. Try pinching your skin around your cheeks and eyes. You can feel the difference clearly.

Thin skin around your eyes is easily aged, dried, and darken under the sun much faster than any other. It might not show immediately but all that UV light will create dark pigments under your eyes and will show up as you get older. That's why so many celebrates, TV channel, Beauty Artist suggest to all girls to start eye care the moment you can. Younger the better, later the wrinkles.

These days I work in front of the computer a lot, always expose to electric rays from the computer that reaches my face right away. Tiredness also makes me rub my eyes and days pass on like this. I realized how dark around my eyes are. Even my base primer and base shadow doesn't seem to work so well, it still look dim. Big red alert came into my head and I decided to look for some eye cream that are in sale.
Big red alert came into my head and I decided to look for some eye cream that are in sale.

I looked into various reviews and products introduced on tv etc. It's a sensitive part of the skin so I decided to look for something bit more safer and natural. Yet not too expensive I am not looking for medical herber ingredients (Those tend to be more expensive) I looked into some of the road shop brands (brands you probably heard most, like etude, innisfree, face shop etc.) I have already tried them all, I liked them but I don't want to buy another one, mostly because I easily get bored of old products and I need to try out new stuff so that I have more reviews to write to my readers ;P

It didn't took a while before I heard my friends introduce me to The Skin House.
It's a very miner brand doesn't even have their own offline store and is only online sold brand. But I saw one of my friends using their eye cream and their cream.

I feel this is the one. This is what I was looking for. And look! 1+1+1 EVENT!
Save money and stock up eye cream and something more softer to my skin.


This product is quiet famouse for it's moisturizing and whitening that last long.
Also wrinkle care and it's clean after feeling.
Most eye cream tend to be sticky but this change that assumption.
Product Features
Ingredients
Jeongsesu, 1,3 Butylene Glycol, Nate, Tome chikon cycle, hit the cetyl hexanoate, stearic acid iso-hexadecane, Butylene Glycol, digital camera ruffle rate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Beeswax sodium hyaluronidase , sorbitan stearate, vegetable squalane, glycerol, Araki dill alcohol, behenyl alcohol, Araki dill glucoside, collagen hydro rolls rise dE, polysorbate 60, glyceryl stearate, dimethicone, phenoxyethanol, propylparaben, Toko tocopheryl acetate, meadows Original seed oil, tomato extract, peony extract, honeysuckle extract, triethanolamine, allantoin, panthenol, methyl paraben, adenosine, disodium is this entity, Koh raise Penta Id-1, Hydro jeneyi federated lecithin, potassium cetyl phosphate , caprylic, amino methyl propanol, filtered water, mucus paeing month, callus cultures of ginseng extract, bamboo extract of callus cultures, culture extracts of aloe vera Cal Lux, edelweiss extract, thyme extract lines, drive Delia extract, spices

It's a nice Tube type
and if you see the back you can see the more in depth feature this product has


This eye cream has EGF and Adenosine in its ingredients list that helps wrinkle care
more effectively.
It's for all skin type even the sensitive, it's been tested in Clinic trials.
You can see wrinkle care and moisturizing effect by using this cream

HOW TO USE
Every day after wash was on Night/Day apply on pearl sized amount around the eyes.

The cream is very tight, like it would tighten my skin just by looking at it XD

BEFORE / AFTER

Sorry if I scared you with my ugly under eyes dry wrinkle and darkness.
But I felt its a good comparison for this product.
Dry and flacky see and wrinkles show here and there
With just one use, you can see this much difference, see that healthy glow my skin  has now? XD 


OVERALL OPINION
You know how the sticky oily eye cream sometimes move your makeup around ruining your eye makeup so terribly?
Well this eye cream was not sticky at all, love that so much!
Love the none greasy finish it has so that it wouldn't ruin my eye makeup like some other products have been doing.
The biggest reason why this can do that is the fast absorbency.
And the deep moisturizing helps my dry wrinkles to come back and give life into my eyes. So that it doesn't look like I am becoming a zombie
I think the price is quiet similar with other cheaper brands and if you get it during this 1+1+1 Sale even better. You are getting such good products in very good deal.

Just love the none greasy stickiness so that I can use it every morning giving life into my Zombie eyes! And it does not ruin my makeup either!

LUNA, Cushion With Skin Care All in One, Water Found Pack

Luna, it's was quiet a popularity after it was aired on Get it Beauty, but somehow I had no big interest in getting one, probably because of my cased up cushions I have to finish, and mostly because I was quiet happy with the Lalavesi Devil Cushion and Innisfree Long Wear Cushion. I have been more into semi matte, powdery finish for the oils during the summer.
Remember 1 Degree hotter means that much wider pores and that much more oil!
Now Korea is in their fall season, big round fruits are cheapest and most delicious this year, and sky so blue with white puffy clouds that makes me stare in awe in my busy Korean Worker's Life.

Blue sky that I just had to take a picture of :)
Well, it's fall now, and that means... DRY PATCHES
I love fall and all the fresh fruit I get to enjoy but its also dry, and windy. My oils will disappear and my dry patches will widen. I need something bit more moisturizing. I had a reader who also wanted to read a review about this product, so I decided to give it a try.

My skin type : Easily environment effected, During Spring Dry and very sensitive, During Summer Combo with a lot of oil patches, During Fall, Combo with more dry than oily, Winter Dry Dry Dry.
 Luna Pack was introduced in Get it Beauty during their episode about Sweat and Water Proof Moisturizing Makeup, so I will be focusing how well it's against sweat and water.


One of the biggest features of this product is it's texture and the moisturizing capsules, in the episode the makeup artist said with this one cushion you don't need to do skin care, so during the busy hours in the morning you can really reduce time with this one cushion. Perfect cushion if you are girls that can't wake up on the first alarm clock, or worse only can wake up on the last snooze like me. XD I am one lazy cat

So all in all I have very very high expectation out of this, but these days I am bit short on cash, decided to buy this one big huge makeup cabinet that reaches my roof. So if this cushion doesn't meet my skin or if I don't like it, it's a big wallet attack for me.
So with trembling hands I meet the post office man that holds a box with Luna on it.

Now to start my review, best to know about the fact before we go on.

For more information : HARMFUL INGREDIENTS LIST BY SKIN TYPE
This is the first time I did in depth ingredients information,
This takes a lot of time and research but if you find this useful, please let me know on the comments below, so that I find it worthwhile to do this.


This is the Luna Pact,
It's currently uploaded here if you are interested in getting one through me.
This one box has one cushion and one refill.


Refill comes in another box like this, I find this bit waste of boxes because the refill is wrap again in a plastic bag that you can rip open when you need it. But I guess it's good for those who tend to roughly deal with the refills and package might rip open


On the back they have kindly writen their products features, Vitamin makeup, 60% Moist Essence by Fermentated extract, And Latte Art, meaning it has makeup base and foundation together in one product for more natural blend and lighter makeup.
Even did their own ratings 
Coverage : ★★★★
Long Lasting : ★★★★
Moist : ★★★★★
Let see how similar ratings it will be compared to mine.


Tada! inside the cushion you can see the large Mirror which I love so much
and beautiful latte picture it bit blurry because it has that half transparent plastic cover to keep the foundation from drying out or getting dirty.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLOSE THE PLASTIC LID WELL!
Once this foundation goes dry, your cushion will be ruined.

I actually love this firm plastic cover it has, it's more sturdy than normal cushion and I liked it because it really prevents from my mirror getting dirty. You know how dirty mirrors really give bit of stress little by little every day. Having to clean it every single time I use this is bit annoying, so I really love the plastic cover this has :)


Such beautiful Latte design, it kinda reminds me of the Fill N Cover Pact
I thought the foundation will be hard but it turns out very creamy, with one press of the finger the white and brown mix well together.
There is only one color for this cushion I think it's those normal 21 colors with bit less yellowish color. if you look closely you can even see the bubble looking capsule that holds deep moist.


The puff is dense enough to melt down the foundation and apply evenly on the skin.


This is how the colors will turn out to be
I love the feeling when I apply this foundation, it does have cooling effect
Cooling effect will help prevent your pores getting too wide under the sun.
I like to tap this on like I do with my cushion sun block really convenient, and also fix the makeup the same time! It's moistly as I assume but for my dry patches during fall it's not enough so I still do skin care base before using this foundation. 
I've been using this for like a week or so, I love the heavy moist it has, I think I can still do my original lighter skin care like I did on the summer and apply this and still feel moist! XD Because of the heavy moist the makeup never gets cakey at all.

I have personally wore this for a week or so and I seriously think it's also oil proofed as well, although it's fall, there is still strong sun that makes my pore want to make oil, and I do sweat a little when I work out doors. But I feel this cushion have been strong on me and did not melt like I thought it would.

Most moist cushion tend to have loose cling and doesn't last long as you hope it would. However maybe because of the creamy texture it has, the long lasting last longer than most moist cushion but not as much as matte cushions. Since it's a pack type of cushion, such cling is considered strong.

Coverage is average, Only does well with blemishes and bit of dark spots, but overall considered very natural coverage. To increase the coverage remember not to paint with your puff but tap as much as you can to increase the coverage.

One thing I didn't like is that the thick moist makes the cushion bit sticky getting all my hairs stick to my skin. But the after feeling gets better and gets less sticky as time passes. Well, until some of the moist is soaked into the skin. 

I really recommend to girls who is looking for moist cushion with Natural coverage.
Something Water and Oil Proof for outdoors or your overwhelming oils.
The cooling features is best to girls who has blemishing skins

SOME OF MY PERSONAL TESTS FOR THIS PRODUCTS
Waterproof TEST
Well proofed but does rubs off if you do it to hard.
My Ratings
Coverage : ★★★
Long Lasting : ★★★
Moist : ★★★★★

Love Note to my Readers and Friends!

Hey foxys!

It's been over two year now since I first started this blog and no one really took notice of my post. After month after month I started to get a lot of encouragement and cheers and love from so many readers all around the globe, it have became part of joy in my life that I forever cherish. I thank all the love the support in what ever I do, your love is more than I ever asked for.

Since last year summer I have been doing the Shopping with Lady Fox Event in helping out reader who is having hard time getting Korean cosmetic. I had so many love and interest in so many readers and I deeply thank your support in this event.

Now it came to the point it's bit hard for me to replying every single emails and Facebook. My job always taking up my day, and I barely have time to do anything else. So to make everything more simple, I decided to make a site that you can easily order products you want. It is called Lady Fox Korea

To thank all my pretty foxys, I made sure all the price is the lowest without any bubble prices. I will also uplaod Monthly Daily Galleria sale that is about 50~80% sale. Since it's a galleria sale it tend to be short and happens without notice. So keep visiting my little site and check out the sales. I also worked with Paypal Merchant so that you can send the cost without paypal.

I will be uploading daily in this site so keep a look out in the new products and sales. The items I upload are products that readers have been ordering through me from Korean cosmetic, Korean Fashion, Korean Cookies or Snacks, and even Korean Sanitary Napkin. :P I uploaded things especially food that doesn't go bad during the travel towards your door.

I always thank all my sweet little sister foxys that have been reading my post and loving in what I love! (which is Cosmetic of course! XD) I always feel sorry I have no other way of showing my graditude, at least I can help you out this way.

I hope your health and happiness always
Lots of Love from Korea,
Lady Fox

Innisfree, Fall Collection, Cream Mellow Lipstick Full Collection

Innisfree this years Fall Lip collections!!!!
If you haven't known about Korean brand for so long, you might not know that innisfree brings out 10 colors in the spring and fall and this year they brought out so beautiful collection that I had to get the full collections!

I really think you will like it too.

This fall the trend is all about moist and yet matte so that the colors wouldn't disappear as moist disappear from the cold harsh winds in the winter. I know many of you might be waiting for this. You will love this series of the full collection, if you are interested what other lipstick collection innisfree have been introducing, check the 2013 innisfree fall lipstick collection

This year I have to say I love the matte finish that does not crumple after you apply.
And color #8 is my favorite of all.

1~10 Full collection!



This lipstick came out with this diamond shape known to be bit better to get onto the edge of the lipstick mountain without smearing it on parts you don't want.

You can see that if you apply lightly it is a very glossy expression
But as you layer it on you can see the pigment so strong and so pretty.


Before we go on to the lip swatches I wish to tell you about the beautiful texture it has.
It did have that transparent and yet moist glow, but it also had that strong cling and matte finish. This series had that sticky feeling very similar to MAC Hugable but bit more transparent and lighter than MAC. 

I saw this from the Innisfree New Fall Runway about how to use this series of lipstick


This is the same lipstick makeup that has been use in the From the Stars by Jun Jee Hyun. Because of the matte finish this series has the lipstick will not crumble, if it does the edgy sexy lips will not be able to be expressed.
And yet, so moist!

Etude House, Palette Limited Edition, Fantastic Color Eyes

Etude House brings out quiet a bit of limited editions for us to try out. Every year Two different type of limited Edition Palette comes out.
If you wish to see last year limited edition eye palette please do!

I got only #2 Bohemian Soul for this review
I visited the Etude house the other day, and I found the limited edition that I have been eyeing. I looked at #1 colors It's really really pretty but more for party and more of special occasion and for dynamic makeup. I figured I won't be using must of that, so I decided to just get one. The Color #2 I think it's best for Daily makeup use :)


#1 is Bloody Holloween if you like that look you should get #1 but I am up fours for #2 look how natural it is! Works with any clothes.


Love the 180 degree foldable mirror and the brush it has although it might not last as I hope it would. Sponge puff brush just don't last long :/

SWATCHES!
Folk Song, Apricot Jam, Ethnic Coral, Gypsy Queen, Wanderlust, Freedom

Folk Song, Apricot Jam, Ethnic Coral

As you can see Folk Song and Apricot Jam does not have giltter, But Apricot Jam is bit creamy type I think it will work for cream blusher and lips too. But for the lips it's bit drying.

Love the Ethnic Coal's dense but small glitters. So pretty!
 Gypsy Queen, Wanderlust, Freedom

Gypsy Queen is just glitter great for just a dot on the center of the eyelid to give bit of shimmer when ever you blink. The texture is soft so that it wouldn't get everywhere on your clothes.

Wanderlust has thick glitter with bit of redness inside the gold.

Freedom has red pearl. One of those deep pearl brown that you would like to apply everyday. Because of the deep brown I like to use on top of the eyeliner to give eyeliner longer lasting and also give bit of shimmer along the line.

Overall Opinion
I think this has less glitter fall outs than the last year series.
Last year series has just too much glitter for some girls but I think this is more controlled amount. 
Appliance is also much better than the last series much more softer type
The best of all is the colors, all of them is something what you will use everyday.
Some palette tend to mix never usable colors with some usable but this palette is for all time use!

How to do Exfoliation the RIGHT WAY Part 3

If you haven't seen Part 1 Physical Exfoliation and Part 2 Chemical Exfoliation  Please do for better understanding.

Exfoliation that you get in Dermatology
Skin Scaling Chemical Peeling - OK!
TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is chemical medicine that peels off very lightly along your skin. Since it's different than physcial and chemcial peel off, it's a bit more intense peel.

This is for people who AHA, BHA that does not work and dark skin doesn't get better, also to those who have several oily skin with a lot of acne.

After this type of peeling you skin can easily be sensitive it's best to consult with a doctor before and after such peeling.

Crystal Peeling - OK!
Using 100microtone sized Alumina powder to physically peel off the skin. Since it's not using chemical it's more for sensitive skin.

However there are sensitive skin that get sensitive reaction from physical irritation.
Remember to always consult with a doctor before and after peeling.

Natural ingredient that you use to exfoliate
Milk that turned bad, Yogurts - NO!
Milk that turned bad and yogurts have a lot of Lactate but does it have exfoliation effect? The answer is no. The AHA ingredients and ingredients you find in dairy is not the same so it can not peel off dead skin cells.

Egg, Honey Mask Pack - NO!
White Egg parts and honey is known to have effect for exfoliation, but it only has temporary moisturizing like most sheet mask, but does not have any exfoliation effect.

Black Sugar Mask Pack and Scrub - NO!
One of the AHA ingredients is from Candy Cane, so people might think that sugar might have that same efect. However this is just a rumer that is not true, Sugar has no effect on exfoliation. The rough edges of Black Sugar will only give your skin scares.

How to do Exfoliation the RIGHT WAY Part 2

If you haven't read part 1 Please do! To help your understanding!

Now to continued from the part 1 this part 2 is about chemical exfoliation methods.
Using chemical method to melt down dead skin cells, there are many ingredients out there that claiming it works but only BHA, PHA, AHA have been scientifically proven.

For these ingredients to actually work it's best to see how much of these ingredients is in the products. However it's hard to know the amount inside the products because its not indicated, so it might be hard to find out.

AHA 4~10% lotion or gel - GOOD!
There are two ingredients that has exfoliation features, that is Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. Other type of AHA ingredients has no exfoliation effect.

AHA ingredient has exfoliation effect when it's more than 4% of the ingredients, and also on environment that is pH3~4.

When you get AHA product remember to get see if there is Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid in the ingredients and also see if it's in the third or fourth in the ingredients list.

AHA product works for all skin but it could cause sensitivity and dryness, it's best to test this ingredients works for you.

BHA 1.5%~2% Cream or Gel - Good!
BHA has only one ingredient that has exfoliation effect, Salicylic Acid. This acid is Derivatives from Aspirin so it has anti-bacterial and softening effect on the skin, so it's bit more softer than AHA. It aslo easily melts into oil and dead skin cells and melt it out os it's best for Oily skin and Acne Pron skin to use this products.

BHA like AHA similar to first see how much there is inside the products. Since it might irritate or dry out to some skin type its best to test 1~2 times a week and find the right amount of use for you.

PHA 10~12% Lotion or Gel - OK
PHA has two ingredients Gluconolactone and Lactobionic Acid. Similar like AHA but less irritating than AHA.

But since PHA is certificated to a certain makeup company it's not widely used. If you happened to find a product with PHA remember to use products that has 10~12% and pH around 3~4
