Baiklah. The other day someone asked what facial cleanser I am using and several ada tanya through email.
After trying many products, I finally found the right product for my skin, well for now. The thing is, I used to believe that, barang mahal dan terkenal ini bagus. Dengan sifat gatal aku ni, dah macam-macam product aku try. Biotherm, SK II, Clinique dan entah hapa-hapa ntah lagi. I even tried taiwan product, golden horse kot. The smell was quite weird tapi berkesan, cuma untuk seketika and I even tried felisa. Yang menyebabkan kulit aku menjadi semakin seperti ular sawa. Semua tak serasi.
I am etsy addict, hari-hari mesti nak bukak website. I love the portal sebab all the things that they sell there is safe for the environment, be it apa product pon, baju ke apa ke. And it’s human made.
So one day, I was browsing and I found this shop, Noirliliana. Apa yang bestnya, dia ni specialise untuk problematic skin termasuklah untuk muka berisisik, meggelupas dan rasa terbakar macam muka aku. The feedback by her previous customer swere good but I was not sure whether or not her product would suit my skin. So I decided to try 2 items first. I bought her soothing toner and sensitive skin mosturiser.
The result? My skins got better. Macam magic.
Sooo, lepas cleanser aku habis, tanpa berlengah lagi aku beli semua barang dia. Takdela semua tapi complete setlah.
For cleanser, I use Organic Olive Cleansing Oil.
Yes it’s oil base, minyak bukan sabun. Initially I wanted to purchase green tea facial cleanser tapi dia advise, jangan sebab muka aku sensitive not suitable. She suggested that I try the oil cleanser. I was skeptical, muka aku ni dahla berminyak dekat T zone [tapi kering dekat bahagian lain, super kering], apa jadah nak lawan minyak dengan minyak. But after she explained that it will not make my skin oily at all, I bought it.
It was weird the first time I use it sebab dia minyak. Butttttttttttttt. Oh my. This is the best cleanser I’ve ever used. Sangat bersih dan refreshing, muka jadi lembut. Just dap some oil on your face, massage and wipe it off with a facial sponge or bilas dengan air. That’s it.
Berminyak? Yes mula-mula sedikit, but you know what, the minyak ness wil go away and the best thing is it will act as mosturiser. Kadang-kadang aku malas nak pakai mosturiser, aku cuci muka and tido. I will still wake up to a great skin.
Next toner.
Like its name, the toner really did a great job in soothing my skin. Sangatlah segar bila sapu dekat muka although aku tak rasa dia ada alcohol. And I love the smell, lavender.
For mosturiser, I use sensitive skin mosturiser tapi Elizabeth [the owner] carries a variety of mosturisers for different type of skin. Ada untuk oily, kulit kering dan sebagainyela.
I love the one that I am using sebab dialahhh yang menghilangkan segala sisik [kulit kering yang terkopek-kopek] dekat muka aku. Dalam masa 2 minggu, my skin improved tremendously. Magic ok, even SKII can’t produce that result. And oh I love the smell, bau grapefruit.
I also use her CoQ10 serum.
Silalah google kalau nak tau apa CoQ10 tapi the CoQ10 thing is supposed to make your skin more supple. Macam menegangkanlah. I noticed that my make up look better whenever I apply this serum. Mungkin cuma imaginasi aku tapi aku pakai jugak untuk mengelakkan dan mengurangkan kedut.
I also purchase her scrub.
I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the scrub. Unlike any other scrub that I’ve tried, this one is made from sugar. Agak messy bila nak pakai sebab dia jatuh-jatuh dan sebab kau tahu dia dari sugar kan, so kau pon gatal nak jilat haha.
I always look forward to apply this scrub sebab, lepas tu muka aku akan rasa super soft.
She also carries a variety of mask, I bought her soothing facial mask.
Nama soothing tapi pakai berangin dan sedikit pedih. Pakai cuma 5 menet je okies and you can use it whenever you want, unlike other mask. Boleh pakai beberapa kali je seminggu [paliing banyak pon dalam 2 kali la].Masa pakai pedih tapi bila dah bilasss.. Ohhh kulitku.
I also bought her make up remover, something like petroleum jelly tapi made from beeswax.
I love it, sangat bersih and very gentle especially when you wipe your eyes.
In my purchase, she included an eye cream. I wear it religiously and I am happy with the result. Mata dah kurang lebam :)
Saya juga telah mencuba product-product ini kepada bedmate saya. He uses biotherm for men tapi dia selalu complain kulit dia bertambah berminyak bila bangun tido. Dahla kulit dia tu memang dasar berminyak gila, stok yang kalau perah boleh goreng ikan.
He complainedla mula-mula cakap the smell is weird, yolaaa bau buah-buahan hehe tapiii bila bangun besok
“Eh my face is less oilylah!”
In terms of pricing, they are affordable. Dalam range USD4 to USD18, agak-agak dalam RM14.50 to RM64. Cuma shipping dia agak tricky. Still, to me, kenapa perluuuuuuu aku nak menhabiskan ribuan ringgit untuk produk yang nampak bergaya tapi muka aku tetap macam celaka ? Baiklah aku beli produk ini walaupun leceh nak tunggu delivery yang lama dan harga shipping yang dah dekat nak sama dengan harga barang, tapi berbaloi.
Sebab? Dia hanya akan buat item itu whwenever you order, so you know that it’s not pre-made, no chemicals and not tested on animals [the downside, tak boleh simpan lama macam cosmetics biasa]
Oh. Terlupa. Satu lagi, supplement. Iniiiiiiiiiiiii memang terbaik. Not only make your skin baby soft but provide you with the glow. Rambut juga menjadi lebih lembut dan sehat
Collagen.
They are many collagen sold nowadays but if you want to buy, make sure it’s marine collagen unless it’s ok for you to take animal collagen.
I choose to take Meiji Amino Collagen Premium.
Dia ada yang biasa ada yang premium, aku ambik premium memandangkan kulit aku yang hazab nikan, harus pakai product untuk kulit nenek-nenek. Bentuk serbuk, bancuh dengan jus or cordial, minum sekali sehari.
I swear by this one.
Cumaaaaa, dekat sini tak ada jual. If you want to buy, try ebay. Don’t ask me which seller sebab aku bertukar-tukar. Kejap jual kejap tidak, nak je aku pangg, hehe tetibe. Sesiapa duduk JB, you can always go to Singapore to buy, dekat sana banyak okies. Sini je takde.
The price.. adalah sedikit pricey for 28-day consumption. Dalam RM220 to RM300, depends on seller. Dan satu lagi peringatan penting, some people claimed this thing produced a fishy smell, so sapa-sapa rasa tak lalu bau ikan, don’t buy. Kang muntah kang haaa tatau. Aku ok je. Kalau dia perisa kari ke bau kari ke haaa yang tu komfem aku tak boleh.
But hey, that’s my opinion. Maybe some of this product may suit your skin, maybe they wont. Kulit kita semua lain-lain kan?
