~*Facial Cleanser*~

what can I say about facial cleanser?
Oh well I've been washing my face the entire life, so I guess it is important!!


Throught the years I've never really sticked with one brand for many years because I believe that changing the skin care products timely will never boreden the skin, and it will constantly keep the skin to absorb ingredients well.


That being said, I've used countless brands and types of facial cleansers through my life.

I've used soap bar type, milky type, cream type, water like liquid type....Ones that contains anti-aging, whitening, tightening, Co-enzyme Q10 and so on!!! (@_@)


However, as I get older my skin condition did change and I've become more aware of what do I need for my skin.


Recently, I've met lots lots of Japanese Skin Care....which it works soooooo perfect with my skin!

I guess Japanese skin care poducts are mild, and many chemicals are not included, so it does not harm my skin at all (not too strong for me) !!


Till now, I still change my skin care brand according to season. Because it is easy for me to get swet and excess grease during summer, and have a dry and tighter (closed pores) during winter.

So recently, I'm in love with this facial cleansers.


The first one is Kose Sekkisei Facial Liquid Wash. This facial cleanser came out couple month ago, and I loveeeeee their milky-texture!!! Just with one push and some water..Tata!!!! Very rich, thick and creamy texture of lather is created!!!


I love using this facial cleanser to wash my face everyday. :)

Just keep using this face wash can make my skin clean, and with translucency!! (meaning my skin gets a bit whiter!! :D)
As it get very popular recently, there are a lot of webstie (or blogs,etc) that talks about this product!!

The official website of KOSE in the United States is http://www.kose-usa.com/whatsnew.asp?view=whatsnew

However, it can be purchased at many Asian stores..... since I've noticed some KOSE are sold in Bath and Body Works!!! I dont know why how KOSE and Bath and Body Works are working together...but it is convenient!! hahah But somehow not all the Bath and Body Works carries KOSE though :\

~Makeup Remover~

Currently, I have 3 types of makeup remover at home and I use each products depending on my needs on that day. (But I mostly use 2. because as it'll be mention I put emphasis on eye makeup! hehehe

I use oil type, creamy type, and another liquid type (something that seriosuly does not sting! :D )



*A quick extra information of why I suggest people to try the makeup remover I'm using & loving!!!
There are 2 points that I put lots of efforts (lol) on my makeup.
= The first one is the skin tone! I dislike uneven, dark, dryish, greasy looking skin tone.
Since I have a white (light) skin tone I try to look for foundation that can give me some fresh and healthy look. (I use all sorts of foundations liquid, cream, pallet, powder!)
= The second one is the eye makeups! I'm Asian & I often feels my eyes need more livelyness with more power on my eyes, I always spend time on doing makeup.





The first one is 1. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, which I'm using 2nd bottle now!
To me, this DHC deep cleansing oil is a value size package (6.7 fl oz.) with a pump attached on the top, becuase just with 1 push I can remove all my makeup perfectly!!!



=The oil blends into my makeup easily and the afterwash is very moisturizing, which it does not make my skin stiff or itchy. (I'm a very dry skin type~~~)





The 2. Kose Softymo Super Point Make-Up Remover is my another fabulous makeup remover!!! (>__<) I seriously can't live without this!!!!
=When I search this product online, I've notice that this is actually one of the SUPER BEST SEELING ITEMS in Japan, and other asian country! I've used 5 bottles already since 2006! & As long as this product is sold in the State I'm very sure that I'll be keep buying this product!!!

Why am I so in love with this particular item?
= Because this point makeup remover is created in neutral type that is similar to our tears, which it does not sting your eyes at all and it does not leave stickiness.
= All I need to do is dispense some of this makeup remover to a cotton, let it stay on my point makeup (lips, cheeks, eyeshadow, mascara, etc) for few seconds and gently wipe off!






The third one is the 3. Kracie Naive Deep Cleansing Foam - Peach. This is, again, one of the makeup remover I use when I'm lazy. hahaha
= The reason is becuase this makeup remover is made in a 2-in-1 type that works as a make-up remover and as a regular facial cleanser which can penetrate deep into the pores to remove dirt, oil, and make-up at once!!!!



Each items I've mentioned in here, needs to be handled differently (use with dry hands, add water, etc) Yet these 3 items have never lost its spot on my shelf!!!!

Where to get?
= Well I live in Rowland Heights area, and I used to drove to Marukai (a japanese super market) in West Covina, or all the way to Mitsuwa (another japanese market) in Costa Mesa.
However, now I go to this store called Cosmeland (a store that sells all sorts of Japanese products!!) in City of Industry...and it is convenient because it is located in the Puente Hills Mall. I'm happy that I dont need to drive far..since the Gas isnt cheap these days!!

When there's a lot of items to buy I just use their website sometime,
http://www.cosmelandusa.com/
