Recently i’ve switched my skin care to Clinelle. I got the basic skin care products that are suitable for normal to oily skin types.

I have the very basic cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.

I have to admit that i kinda like Clinelle’s products.

I think that Clinelle’s deep cleansing gel is a little bit different. It has natural ingredients such as green tea leaf and ivy extracts. It just feels so natural.

The gel is slimy and gooey, but it feels really nice when it’s applied onto the face.  The smell is not too strong and not too artificial either. Like i said, it feels very natural.

Next up is the purifying toner.

It feels like any other toner, but the scent is somehow different. When i used it for the first time, it reminded me of that expensive spa at KL my mum brought me to.

I had no idea why it reminded me about the spa then until i checked the ingredients of the toner. It contains ingredients such as tea tree oil, lavender essential oil, aloe vera, and Chamomilla Recutita extract.

No wonder!

The moisturizer is something i’d really like to rave about.

I had NEVER applied moisturizer during the day before going out because i’ve never found the right moisturizer that doesn’t make my skin feel oily.

The previous moisturizer that i was using is hell, that’s why i only apply it before going to bed. So that i don’t have to endure the eekyness on my skin. Yeah sure it’s moisturizing but i hate moisturizers that makes the skin feel oily -_-;;

And i swear, Clinelle’s Moisture Glow is my savior. Read on.

One day, i woke up in the morning and did my lady things as usual. But this time it was different, i applied my moisturizer before going out to run some errands.

I took this picture after i came home in the afternoon with natural lighting. With NO make up on.

One word.

Matte.

My skin was not oily at all. JIZZ!

After going here and there from morning till afternoon, still matte. I love this moisturizer. I do believe that it also depends on how much amount you apply. Not too little, not too much.

Clinelle’s SnoWhite Mask helps in brightening and hydrating the skin. I don’t see much use of that for me cause i’m already quite fair myself, but i still tried it out.

I like the fact that it’s cream based. I have a hard time dealing with masks that hardens and/or requires peeling. Imagine if you wanna laugh and you have a clay mask on. Everything is gonna crack for sure!

So this cream based mask is a lot better :)

On the other hand, i also like Clinelle for its packaging.

I do pay attention to what’s written at the back of my products. Descriptions, ingredients, and also directions.

.. Weird, i know. Read on.

I feel that many people don’t pay much detail when caring for their skin. Clinelle’s directions really remind people how to do so.

Like patting your face dry instead of just plain wiping. Or applying your skin care in gentle upward strokes.

If we really want to maintain good skin conditions in the long run, these small details count.

People who use cosmetics often should know the importance of proper skin care. Surely we don’t want pre-mature wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone and stuff like those. Personally i think it’s scary, that’s why i try my best to take care of my skin.

However that doesn’t mean those who don’t use make up don’t have to take care of their skin.

Everyone HAS to!

Not only females, but also males. It’s not gay at all, trust me. Chicks really dig guys who take care of their skin.

I strongly believe in the term “Beautiful make up starts with beautiful skin”.

And i also think that it’s a lot easier that way.

A very simple way of preparing for a day out.

1. Apply moisturizer and sun block
2. Apply some concealer if needed
3. Curl lashes before applying brown eyeliner
4. Mascara, take your time with this
5. Set your hair and put on a pair of nice earrings

And you’re done! :)

Clinelle also has other range of products available at any leading pharmacies. Price ranges from RM 16 to RM 70 in which i think is very reasonable. And restocking definitely won’t be a problem :)
