April Skin Magic Stone review

I have been using April Skin Magic Stone for almost a year now. Before i am using this product on a daily basis, i actually googled it multiple times at the very beginning. I read all the reviews and watched youtube videos online regarding the product. Positive feedbacks and good reviews were constantly given. So, without hesitate any longer, i decided to give it a shot!

This is how it looks like! I have both the morning and night cleansing soap. My initial intention of using it is because of its natural ingredients and the used of charcoal !!!! One of the ancient, natural and effective cleansing material!!!!

Most importantly, the price is very much affordable compared to other cleansing products. I got mine from Hermo! Thanks to Hermo for the constant great deal!

Even though its a cleansing soap but it can create incredible amount of foam!!!!  Wee~~~~~ Remember ! More foam means better cleansing effect. 

So the left pics were me before i cleaned my face with the magic soap and the right pics were me after i cleaned my face. 

( p/s: photos were taken in exact same setting without photoshop or change of lighting)

So, Brightening effect  : 3/5

      Cleansing effect     : 4/5 (most importantly no skin tightening/ pulling sensation)

      Hydrating effect     : 2/5 ( not much of effect on hydration)

Overall : 4/5 for me. ( I'm having sensitive and combination skin )

Last but not least, How to store/keep it since its in soap form? 

Well, just like everyone else, Im paranoid on the sterility of the soap and my biggest problem at first was how to store it. But hey! look what i found in Ikea!!! A good storage box for my soap products at affordable price. I can cover it up after using it as well and it looks clean and organised. Thumbs up!!

TST Yeast mask review~

As i alwis mentioned, Im continuously battling with acne and so whatever products with the word "anti acne " or " anti acne scar" will definitely interest me. LOL~

The most recent product that i use and seriously fall in love with it is the TST yeast mask. The most incredible mask that you can use daily. I have came to a point whereby i cant live without it and need to use it every night before i sleep. *wink*

I have actually been heard about this product for quite some time but was quite hesitate to try as i have super sensitive acne prone skin. Even though the product seems to be a big hit in Taiwan but i still read lots of reviews before i decide to buy it. Something that i never regret buying!!!
Most importantly, it is known as the best mask targeting acne skin  and can be used daily. So, as usual, i bought this without even thinking for long.

I have been using the mask for 2 months now starting from 3-4 times per day to now almost daily. It lighten up acne scar, reduce redness and prevent further outbreak. Result is almost visible immediately!! It has became a must have skincare for me becuz it seriously helps a lot with my sensitive skin. The great part is it makes all the blackheads and whiteheads to fall off easily. Totally amazing!! Its like a painless skin extraction!!

Now let me show some evidences....

My NONO Food to My Acne Problem

Acne is my worst nightmare since secondary school and Im still struggling with it till NOW! I have spent so much of energy, time and money just to make sure it never comes back or gets worst. My most recent outbreak was a few months back and it was uncontrollable. I tried multiple products as mentioned before and found a few good ones. Of course, people around me suddenly became acne experts and starts telling me what and what not to do/eat.

I was basically told not to eat chocolate, not to drink milk, no spicy food and no fast food. But seriously, all these NONO food are all listed under My Favorite food and I cant just stop consuming all of them without proving their relation! So, I did my own research and testing and came out with my own NONO food.

So what is in my NONO list?

1.     MILK

Why milk? I had been drinking milk since young and was always told that milk is good for our health. Milk helps us become taller, fairer, healthier and it’s true enough but my acne skin says otherwise. I found that since I stop talking milk, my acne improves and I have fewer breakouts. I start to substitute my daily milk consumption with soya milk.

So, why milk?

I actually came across a few researches stated that most of the fresh cow’s milk contains androgenic hormone, the hormone that increases our oil gland activities. So, this leads to increase in oil (sebum) production, oily skin, pores blockage and acne formation. They concluded that milk can aggravate your acne condition but will not cause acne if you do not have acne problem.

2.     Peanut

I stop consuming peanut to be specific. Other nuts such as walnut, almond, hazelnut do not cause me any acne problem. I realise that once I ate peanut, even though just a few, those horrible acne will starts popping out uncontrollably. I can’t find the reasons of why only peanut and luckily not others like almond (my fav). There is no research that I can find to show that peanut is related to acne but personally, peanut is just my enemy in preventing acne.

3.     Deep fried oily food

When I say deep fried oily food, I mean French fries, Fried chicken, and those preserved food that need to be re-fried. Most of the preserved food are actually high in salt and sugar content which is very bad to our skin especially acne. So, if u really is a hotdog or meatball lovers, like me, try to maybe steam or grill it if possible.

That’s all for my NONO list up till now. Spicy food, chocolate and cookies doesn't seem to cause any problem for me. 

Oh! And don’t stop eating fruits and drinking lots of water cus these really helps with acne!!!!!
