So, kan bulan depan aku nak kena balik campus so ada banyaklah preparations yang aku kena buat sebelum aku balik sana (duit pun banyaklah aku kena keluarkan) dan antaranya, products skincare aku. Skincare is very important to me because the face is the first thing people see dan aku nak balik ni, aku nak kena tunjuk muka dekat ramai orang so my skin needs to look its best.
Sejak abang aku perkenal dekat aku Some By Mi beberapa tahun lepas, aku pakai Some By Mi saja: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser dan sunscreen. Aku tak suka campur brands tapi makin lama, makin aku tak suka Some By Mi, especially acne cleanser dia (yang ni buat kulit aku kering dan pedih tapi blackhead cleanser dia okay), moisturiser dia (yang ni buat kulit aku berminyak dan kalau lama tak pakai, dia bau pelik), sunscreen dia (yang ni pun kalau lama tak pakai, dia jadi berair dan berkeladak), bukan sebab dia buat aku dapat breakout ke apa but it's not giving me what I want and that is, a dewy skin. Kulit aku dah berminyak dan dia buat aku nampak lagi berminyak and I don't wanna look like a greasy slob, I wanna look dreamy.
So, I searched high and low for products that could give me what I'm searching for dan aku refer dekat seorang YouTuber ni. His skin is exactly what I want: clear, dewy and radiant. Masalahnya, kejap dia recommend product ni, kejap dia recommend product tu. So, there are too many recommendations and you can easily get lost, like, which one should I take? Well, I guess the only way to find out is to follow your guts and learn by trial and error which not only costs you money but it also might cause your skin a breakout. Of course, you boleh tengok reviews dekat YouTube dan/atau baca reviews dekat Reddit but one size doesn't fit all, just because something works for someone doesn't mean it's gonna work for you.
So, aku akan list kan recommendations dia yang aku nak ambil based on effect yang aku nak, quantity, harga dan reviews yang aku tengok dan baca.
- Biore UV Watery Essence Aqua Rich Sunscreen - Okay, aku excited nak cuba sunscreen ni sebab YouTuber tu, YouTuber favourite aku (kulit dia cantik gila) dan abang - abang aku pun pakai sunscreen ni and I was told this sunscreen could give me a dewy skin. Bagi aku, harga dia standard untuk sunscreen.
- E Nature Squeeze Green Watery Gel Cream - Okay, aku excited nak cuba moisturiser ni juga sebab aku dengar orang kulit berminyak sesuai pakai gel moisturiser sebab dia tak buat kulit nampak berminyak. Bagi aku, harga dia agak mahal untuk moisturiser but if it gives me what I want, then I wouldn't really mind.
- HaruHaru Black Rice Toner - Aku tak ada masalah dengan toner Some By Mi tapi sebab toner aku dah nak habis dan aku nak cuba product lain, aku nak cuba toner ni pula sebab aku baca review, ramai orang suka toner ni. Bagi aku, harga dia berpatutan.
As for cleanser, I'd stick to Some By Mi blackhead cleanser for now until I find something better. I'll also stick to Some By Mi cleanser for now because I actually like it, it smells citrusy which I like and it gives that cooling effect on my skin. Also, aku nak cuba Burt's Bees watermelon lip balm sebab aku tak suka chapstick Vaseline, dia rasa macam chemical.
PS Parcel H&M aku dah despatched tapi masalahnya, diaorang hantar guna UPS dan aku ada bad experience dengan UPS, dia sangat slow so I'm not surprised to see my parcel hasn't been flown yet to this day. Aku pun tak tahulah bila parcel tu nak sampai.
