I bought some new beauty products to try today. I’m not generally the type of girl who wears make up or anything, but I like to try and take good care of my skin. Try is of course, the operative word as none of the products I’ve been using have been very effective.
I have really pale skin but it scars easily so I picked up a couple products that are supposed to have “skin whitening” properties. Today I bought a cleanser and cream by a company called Skin Food and yesterday I purchased a box of 10 yogurt sheet masks from My Beauty Diary.
After initially fumbling around with the mask last night trying to figure out how to unfold and apply it, I was able to apply it after some head scratching. The yogurt smell was subtle which I liked because I am not a fan of heavily scented or perfumed products. The mask also felt really cool and refreshing which is great in the hot humid climate I’m currently in. The instructions were all written in Chinese so I googled up an english translation. I kept the mask on for 30 minutes and then once removing it, I rubbed in the excess serum into my skin.
I didn’t notice a huge difference, but it did make my face feel very soft. There was also a little less redness than before. Perhaps with continued use, it will have a longer, lasting effect.
Tonight I’ll try out the Skin Food products and see how they work. They were a little on the pricier side (about $48CDN for a cleanser and moisturizer). However this company (supposedly) uses all natural ingredients in their products and I feel more comfortable putting plant extracts on my face rather than assorted chemicals. Of course, the ingredient list is all in Korean so everything I know is based on googled information.
The packaging looks really nice though?
