5 Simple Tips for Great Skin


Who says that you need to spend a lot of money to get great skin?
Just follow these 5 simple steps and you'll see the difference in your skin...

1. Always remove your make up
Clean skin will be able to breathe and regenerate itself when you sleep at night, thus, it is very important that you remove your make up before you sleep. Leaving eye make up such as mascara and eye liner can also lead to serious eye infections. Mascara will also clog eyelash follicles that will eventually lead to breakage and shedding. Leaving make up on your skin will clog your pores making them look big, and also cause breakouts more frequently. The effect from leaving makeup on your face overnight can clog your pores and cause you to experience breakouts more frequently.

2. Wash your face twice a Day
Washing your face will remove impurities and oil from your skin. When you sleep at night, dust, dirt and bacteria may accumulate on your skin, thus, you should always wash your face in the morning when you wake up. Clean skin will regenerate itself at night, and cleansing will prepare your skin for other treatment products, allowing your skin to better absorb the cream and essence and deliver better results. 

3. Exfoliate once a week
Exfoliation refers to the removal of the dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down, thus, old skin cells will pile up on the skin's surface, making your skin look dry and dull. The build up of dead skin cells can also result in clogged pores, leading to breakouts and acne. Exfoliation will unclog your pores making way for other treatment products to better penetrate into your skin. In short, exfoliation will give you clearer and fairer skin in a single step.

4. Moisturised your Skin
Pollution, poor diets, stress will make your skin dry over time, and the only way to deliver moisture back to your skin is to apply moisturiser everyday. Applying a good moisturiser before make up also serves as a good primer.

5. Protect your skin from the sun
The number one way to prevent skin ageing, wrinkling, dark spots and pigmentations is to apply sunscreen everyday, be it indoor or outdoor. Choose a good sunscreen that is non oily and with a minimum of SPF 50 PA+++.

Reviews: Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel

I've never been a fan of peeling gel. I've tried a few brands before, but somehow, I don't think that it works. It's not that it doesn't clear the dead skin, but rather, I can use the peeling gel continuously 3 times on the same place and still, there are lots of dead skin. So it's either the peeling gel doesn't work or I've got too much dead skin.... I got this sample months back when I shopped at the Pop-Up store at Ion. I tot I should try this out since I've been enjoying some of their products. It's a clear gel, turns watery upon application. I like the fact that the dead skins clumps together instead of the usual when they will drop everywhere in the bathroom. I did a second 'test' right after the first usage on the same area. Guess what?  Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel is really up to my expectations.... The first application had removed quite a bit of the dead skin on my hands, and during th...
