Night Time Skin Care Routine

This is my 'glycolic acid' night time skin care routine. The products used are from the brand Pixi by Petra. The active ingredient is 5% glycolic acid.

Glycolic acid is an AHA which is a chemical exfoliant. This helps in removing impurities as well as sloughing off the dead skin cells.

This video demonstrates how I use the products and also my feedback on each item.

Hope you enjoy watching =) Thank you!

Unboxing: Tokyo Love Soap

  If you love Japanese beauty products chances are you might be familiar with this particular brand of soap.  I've been seeing these in Instagram for the last few weeks but paid no attention.  Until I got curious and went online to learn more about Tokyo Love Soap (I will refer to the brand as TLS in this post).  These soaps are manufactured by Happy Price Co. Ltd. in Japan.  There seem to be four permanent variants available and luckily buytokyolovesoap.com.ph sent me samples of each for review which I'll do in a later post.

  The back of each box looks like this and everything is in Japanese except for the "Made in Japan" printed at the bottom =P

Really, really, really bad skin =(

WARNING: The following image might gross you out!!!

  Growing up with almost clear skin, adult acne came as a shock to me.  I did not suffer the wrath of acne until last year when I suddenly got plagued with cystic acne.  I know something is wrong with my hormones and stuff so I scoured the internet for answers.  While I resort to the internet, I highly suggest you check with your dermatologist.  I'm just sharing my experience and this post should not be treated as an expert opinion.

  I have here a snapshot of my left cheek.  As you can see, I don't have any active cystic acne at the moment but I have a lot of dark acne scars.  I'm too ashamed of my skin that I watermarked my image using a font color similar to my skin tone =(  Being used to having clear skin in previous years, I tried to get rid of acne by picking on them which is a big no no!!!  Sometimes I find myself picking on my skin when I'm stressed and just realized it became a habit... a bad one =(

Skin Care: Eyliplex-2 Eye Lift + Circle Reducer

  Poor diet, lack of sleep, working the graveyard shift and ageing...  I find these are causing me to have dark circles and fine lines under my eyes.  =(

  They weren't really that noticeable before and I didn't really mind.  I usually get away with the coverage I get from my foundation.  But since I started working the night shift for more than two years now, I now look like I aged ten times faster.  And it's because my eyes always looked tired.  My under eyes now look ashy with foundation on.  I know this can be corrected and concealed but I don't want to just cover them up.  I need a permanent solution!!! hehehe =P
