Milky Lotion for all skin types!!

So of course...after toning out the skin...the milky lotion is the next important step in skin care! :)
When it comes to skin care....I prefer to use same whole line,...however, in order to not let my skin to get used to it I change to another whole line of skin care! i.g, seasonally...or monthly...until I finish using all of them!!

I would like to introduce some of these milky lotions that I've used in the past, and that works decently!! I will be start posting severals :)


the first one is Kose's Sekkisei Emulsion.

This is a milky lotion, for a younger age and it is super effective for whitening your skin!! For serious dry skin and/or mature age, they provide a specific one called Emulsion Excellent.

It is a quick absorbing, lightweight moisturizer with a highly emollient formula that brightens and softens skin. Because this emulsion contains Vitamin C, it helps to reduce melanin production and prevents inflammation, freckles and aging spots.

All I need to do is use this product after applying toner! I just need to apply 1 or 2 pumps over the skin gently with slight massaging so it can be absorbed into my skin effectively.

I love this product because it contains Herbal Extracts: Elecampane Extract, Coix Seed Extract, Angelica Extract, Melothria Extract, Moutan Bark Extract, which is calm and nice to my skin!

The first time I used this product was back in 2006's summer when I visited Japan. It worked soo well, should say it fit my skin condition really good, which I really regret I didnt bought 2 bottles in Japan!!!

But after talking to my friends about this product...I actually found out that it is sold in the USA!! Which when I finished using it..I went to bought it immediately!!! That tells how much I craze about thsi particular milky lotion! This is one of the few moisturizer that worked really good on my skin, as well as also working good on whitening my skin! (at least I got no sun spots!!)

Another Toner that I would like to introduce to all~

~Rohto Hadarabo Moist Hyaluronic Toner~
This toner is one of my Fav.!!

Rohto is one of the old brand in Japan and this toner is one of the "Hada Labo Gokujyun Series" And yes. I've tried all this Hadalabo Gokujyun Series!! & I use them regulary these days!!! (That's how good this brand is!!)


Well...first of all this toner is formulated with Super Hyaluronic Acid, which has moisture-holding ability twice higher than that of Hyaluronic Acid. With that said, this toner can penetrates deep into the skin to repair the moisture and enhance the elasticity of the skin for softer, smoother, and more radiant skin.


I can promise saying that this toner is very moisturizing, because I have a super dry skin especially on my nose. (its soo dry that even the skin peels off sometime) and ofcourse it's never an easy thing to apply foundation evenly on a super dry skin...

But before adding on the makeup if I spend extra time using the toner to pat my dry skin gently its really easy to apply makeup afterward!


I've used 2 bottles already.. and instead of using continuously I've mixed with other toners.
ex) I use Kose's toner on mon, wed, fri, and this Rohto Toner on tues, thurs, sat.


This toner has Non-fragrant, no color added, oil-free, weak acidity, alcohol free. Which is why I love about it even more!!!

Toner

Toner...it seems to be unimportant..BUT it is actually important!! I've been using many kinds of toners and so far there are several toners that I love!



1. Kose Sekkisei Lotion Excellent (Enriched Toner)

This is an intensive toner that provides moisturizing, anti-aging and brightening benefits!!! This Lotion Excellent uses a technology that incorporates bio-mimetic ingredients to deliver double the concentration of Japanese and Chinese herbal extracts to instantly provide benefits to skin.

In addition, this rich toner is formulated with a unique combination of brightening and moisturizing herb extracts, plus two powerful anti-oxidant herbs for anti-aging properties. This facial toner works as brightening liquid that helps to soften the appearance of dark spots to create a radiant, even complexion.

The rich texture sinks quickly into skin to prevent dryness and maintain luminous, firm, and reviatalized skin!Enriched toner...6.7 fl oz. (200mL)

*Herbal Extracts: Coix Seed Oil, Japanese Spurflower, Bracket Fungus Extract, Melothria Extract, Angelica Extract

This toner is the enriched one known as Kose Sekkisei Lotion Excellent (gold cap) and there are more lighter toner (same brand) which is known as Kose Sekkisei Lotion.

I can use this toner as toner pack as well...which providing rich moisturizing to my skin.

Here comes the Face Peeling and Scrubs!!!

So as I was being excited for X'mas and NYE, I was prepairing myself a bit as well. (since its 100000% sure taking tons of pictures. haha)

so like I've introduced in past posts, I use those facial cleanser regulary. And with that, I've added few steps additionally to make myself a bit pretty. lol
As for today, I would like to introduce this face scrub!!!


Kose Seikisho Exfoliating Massage Gel is my current love!


What is this?

It is a self-heating, exfoliating gel scrub that thoroughly removes pore impurities and old surface cells for a clearer, brighter complexion.


The unique gel base contains tiny scrub particles and heats up on contact with skin to open pores and invigorate skin.


It is very convenient for me becuase the scrub will tell me when is the "scrubbing done" by changing The black gel into gray color!! All I need to do after this step is rinse with water. 67mL/2.8 oz.

2010!! A new year!!!

Happy New Year to all
