Texture : When I touched the cleansing balm inside the jar, it's hard. But It's easy to scoop out with the spatula and the texture will become like butter. When the cleansing balm meet with our body warm temperature, it will melt and turns immediately into oil. and when you mix the oil with water, it will become white milky texture. Also, One scoop with tiny little amount is enough to the whole face.

Scent : I'm kinda surprise for the scent, because this product doesn't use any colorant or fragrant. It has quite aromatic scent, but for me this cleansing balm is really have the smell of Eucalyptus Oil (minyak kayu putih) which is very familiar scent to me. and it also, has that smell because Eucalyptus Oil becomes one of the ingredient of the product. but I'm okay with the smell, it doesn't stay quite long tho. 

My Thought 

I have been using this cleansing balm for around two months, so far I like it. It doesn't make my combination skin break out, or become oilier or drier. It's easy to use, and didn't leave any greasy feeling after I rinse it with water. To use it as eyes makeup remover, it didn't sting my eyes but kinda make my eye blurry. It can remove light eyes makeup and  light waterproof mascara. But if you use mascara from Maybelline, or Kiss me. You need eyes makeup remover. and..... It also takes my face makeup almost cleanly as I've tested the removing makeup power with the product that I usually use on my face

cleaning power test:

as you can see, it can take all off my makeup almost cleanly. Even though it looks clean, but I would recommend you to use second cleanser after using this product like cleansing foam to make sure your face is definitely clean from dirt. 

Hallo apa kabar?

Hari sabtu kemarin, tepatnya tanggal 19 November 2016, Aku di udang oleh Clozette Indonesia untuk mengahadiri acara blogger gathering dengan brand skincare Bio- Essence di Central Park Mall. Kalo kalian belum tau, Bio Essence ini adalah brand skincare dari Singapura yang sudah masuk ke Indonesia sejak bulan Agustus 2015 lalu dan katanya skincare dari Bio Essence ini bisa bikin awet muda lho. 

Salah satu brand skincare yang memang di formulasikan untuk iklim Asia adalah product skincare dari Bio-Essence. Kenapa aku bilang memang cocok untuk wanita Asia kaya kita orang Indonesia gini, karena memang berasal dari negara Singapur yang iklimnya sama persis kaya Indonesia, dan banyak juga orang Singapur, dan Malaysia yang pake jadi pasti oke juga buat orang Indo.

Produk produk dari Bio Essence ini dalam proses pembuatannya dirancang dengan teknonolgi Bio- energy yang memudahkan proses penyerapan nutrisi pada skincare lebih optimal, serta produk produk dari Bio Essence memakai bahan alami langka yang sangat bagus untuk perawatan kulit seperti Royal Jelly dan Bird's Nest yang bisa bikin awet muda. Produk skincarenya Bio Essence ada dua line yaitu line Royal Jelly + ATP  (Adenosine Triphosphate) yang bisa bikin bentuk wajah menjadi lebih V-shape dan terlihat awet muda, dan line yang satunya lagi yaitu Bird's Nest (line produknya warna kuning/gold).

Enak banget wajahku dipijit pijit dengan gerakan yang bisa mengangkat kontur wajah, lalu setelah itu wajahku di ukur dengan penggaris khusus sebelum menggunakan produknya Bio Essence yang lebih spetakuler lagi. Jujur aja muka ku ini termasuk muka gede nan bulat, jadi pas di ukur setengah wajah awalnya 14cm ukuran wajahku. Gede banget hahaaaa.....

Lalu setelah pakai essence dan wajahku di ukur dengan penggaris khusus, munculah skincarenya Bio Essence yang paling SPEKTAKULER. Bukan lebay, tapi ini serius produknya bisa bikin wajah lebih kecil hanya dalam 10 menit saja. SERIOUS LO? Serius Bro, aku saja takjub.

lanjut ke cerita awal, setelah itu aku oleh mbak trapis di pakein si Bio Essence Face Lifting Cream ini ke seluruh wajah dan wajahku kembali di pijat pijat dengan arah gerakan keatas agar mengangkat kontur wajah dan bikin wajah jadi V shape. Wajahku di pijat pijat selama 5 menit sampai cream nya meresap. Awalnya pas wajahku di pakaikan cream ini rasanya dingin tapi akan hilang setelah 10 menit berlalu. Setelah 10 menit berlalu, inilah saat menegangkan untuk membuktikan kehebatan Face lifting cream yang tadi aku pakai

Jeng Jeng Jeng Jeng

......

ini adalah wajah bare faceku  setelah selesai ikut Mega Face Lift V Face Challenge. Muka bener bener keliatan lebih cerah, halus, lembap banget, dan muka jadi lebih kecil dan of course keliatan lebih EHEM lebih muda :D

Bio Essence juga baik banget karena memberikan ku the whole range of Royal Jelly + ATP product to try and get V shape face at home! 

Aku udah buktiin kalo produk produknya Bio Essence especially yang line Royal Jelly + ATP emang KECE. PARAH. ABIS. 

sekali pake udah keliatan hasilnya

note: this post is being posted as event report and as the first imperssion of using certain product, however all my opinion is honest and based on my experience with the product. 

When it comes to weekly skincare routine, surprisingly. I have several products which is take turns to be used and I even try to make schedule to use those products. I might sounds crazy. but  when you have so many products left opened, you need to finish them within a year or before the PAO (period after opening) time, right?

Having combination skin is different with having oily or dry skin, because you have both condition in your face. I have been through those time, when my skin was super oily and when my skin was super dry. When I was having oily skin, my focus was keeping the oil away, and when I was having dry skin all over my face, my focus was keeping its moisturizing and looking shiny. Now, all I need is balance.

 Here is the order of my night skincare routine if I add wash off mask in the middle of it:

cleanser - clay mask/ wash off mask - toner - essence/ serum - eye cream - moisturizer

read : SKINCARE #2 NIGHT SKINCARE ROUTINE

but I will talk about the products that I have been using as my weekly skincare routine one by one. 

......

Firstly,

Innisfree Clay Masks

If using clay mask will take out my sebum and makes my skin drier, I also like to use wash off mask which is hydrating. Both Skinfood mask that I have, they are hydrating my skin and I love them. If you ask me to choose between Rice or Black Sugar. I suggest you to try both of them. For me the Skinfood Rice Mask is effective to hydrate, smoothing, and brighten up my skin complexion, it also helps with fading out my spot, meanwhile the Skinfood Black Sugar mask is effective to exfoliate the dead skin on the skin surfece because it has sugar texture to scrub the skin. It also hydrating, and smoothing the skin texture. I usually use skinfood rice mask or skinfood black sugar once in two weeks or depend on my skin condition.

Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

Beside using wash off mask which have sugar texture to exfoliate the skin surface, exfoliation product also comes in liquid, like the texture of the essence/serum. But exfoliants which comes in liquid texture, it exfoliates until deep inside the skin and it is categorized as chemical exfoliants or well known as Acid. The acid such as AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and BHA (beta hydroxy acid) are the common acid which is being used in skincare products. For me, I use Cosrx Blackhead Power Liquid as acid  treatment because the function for BHA itself is for exfoliate to prevent blackheads, brighten & whiten for a more even skin tone, prevent and fight the future blemishes, to achieve and make the skin smooth and soft. I use this cosrx bha product twice a week, so far this acid treatment really works in improving my skin texture also makes my pore smaller. This is the order of how I use this acid products: low pH cleanser > hydrating toner > Acid product. and I will let it for 30 minutes to let the product do its job before I go the the next skincare steps. But if you have super sensitive skin, you might be careful to try AHA or BHA products because it can irritate your skin. 

Too Cool for School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack

Sleeping pack is the skincare item that I use more than once in a week, mostly three times a week, or I also use it as moisturizer in the morning if I have super dry skin in that day. Sleeping pack also the easiest skin treatment for having such a plumpy and hydrating skin in a night without need to wait, just put it on your face like regular moisturizer, and you are ready to sleep. The sleeping pack that I currently use, it's Too Cool for School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack, check out the full review of this product HERE

Sheet Masks

Naturecia Brightening Exfoliator (Peeling Gel)

Another exfoliator product that I have is Naturecia Brightening Exfoliator. Basically, this product is a peeling gel to exfoliate the dead skin on the surface of the skin. But I rarely use this because I already use Skinnfood Black Sugar and Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid as my exfoliator products. For me this product have such a strong chemical smell and it has such stronger chemical things compare to another peeling gel that I ever tried.  That's why this peeling gel is taking the dead skin super fast. It cleans out the skin, make it brighter. I usually use this product once a month.

.......................................................

 That’s all for my weekly skincare routine, like I said earlier, those product is taking turn to be used in a week. and For masking my face using wash off mask I usually will go with tree times a week, using acid treatment twice times a week, and using facial scrub is once every two weeks. I hope this post can help you to taking care of your skin more.
