Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum


Hello semua,

ini produk yang sudah lumayan femes ini, aku pegang sambil deg-deg-an. Karena betapapun terkenalnya, kalau punya kulit sensitif, pasti agak mikir kalau nyobain produk yang bantu exfoliate kulit. Bukan cuma di klinik-klinik, semua produk, treatment yang buat regenerasi, mengelupas, ataupun yang judulnya "mengangkat sel kulit mati" dan sebagainya, yah pasti bikin sedikit mundur. Di elus-elus sedikit aja kadang perih, apalagi di exfoliate terus-menerus, benarkah kulitku bisa?

-*-




Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum yang katanya bisa buat kulit kering bahkan sensitif sekalipun, dan malah katanya lagi, kulit kering malah jadi tidak kering lagi, jadi bersyukur kalau pakai ini, karena jadi nyaman, nah loh, kok bisa, kan kulitnya jadi 'terkelupas', gimana bisa nyaman? Gimana bisa jadi lebih baik?

Nah, mari kita kupas semua secara tuntas setajam silet... eh enak aja, gak maulah setajam silet haha! Mari kupas pelan-pelan kayak bawang bombay satu-satu biar air mata perlahan-lahan menetes.

-*-




Semua detailnya ada di kemasannya, mulai dari 10% AHA, 3% BHA, 2% Niacinamide, dan Ceramide. Kebetulan ceramide aku cukup familiar karena sukaaa banget dengan semua skincare yang mengandung ceramide, secara bahan ini bikin kelembaban kulit lebih tahan dan kulit jelas jadi lebih nyaman. Ceramide adalah salah satu bahan andalan yang empunya kulit kering.

Aku hindari semua AHA dan BHA selama ini, tapi tidak menghindari niacinamide. Kenapa aku hindari AHA dan BHA? Karena aku duluuuu pernah pakai, dan merasa tidak cocok, kulitku merah-merah, gatal dengan amat sangat dan langsung aku cuci muka dan swear will never use it again. Lah, kok sekarang mau coba lagi kenapa? Baca yuk semua detail dari Avoskin:

-*-



Tentang AHA & BHA dalam Miraculous Refining Serum
Miraculous Refining Serum mengandung 10% AHA (glycolic acid) dan 3% BHA (salicylic acid). Glycolic Acid disebut-sebut sebagai holygrailAHA yang memiliki molekul kecil sehingga dapat menembus kulit lebih mudah. AHA pada serum ini berfungsi sebagai exfoliating agent yang memiliki kemampuan untuk membantu
pengelupasan sel kulit mati sehingga mempercepat regenarasi sel kulit baru. Selain berfungsi sebagai exfoliator, AHA juga memiliki fungsi lain seperti: mencegah jerawat, meratakan warna kulit yang disebabkan oleh bekas luka, bekas jerawat, maupun bintik hitam karena matahari dan faktor usia. Selain itu, AHA dalam serum ini bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kulit untuk meyerap produk skin care selanjutnya. Di samping itu, AHA juga dikenal sebagai kandungan yang mampu memperbaiki kondisi kulit dari tampilan garis halus dan kerutan wajah karena membantu meningkatkan kolagen dalam kulit.
Persentase kandungan AHA dalam Miraculous Refining Serum sebanyak 10% juga telah disesuaikan dengan standar keamanan produk untuk digunakan setiap hari. Meski demikian, disarankan untuk menggunakan AHA 2-3 hari di awal pemakaian agar kulit terbiasa.

-*-



Selain AHA, Miraculous Refining Serum juga mengandung 3% BHA
(Salycilic Acid) yang memiliki molekul lebih kecil dibandingkan AHA. BHA
akan menembus kulit lebih dalam untuk mengatasi masalah seperti pori-
pori tersebut, komedo, sekaligus untuk mengurangi pertumbuhan bakteri.
BHA dikenal sebagai acid yang cocok untuk kulit berminyak dan
berjerawat. Bahkan, kandungan ini cenderung baik digunakan saat kondisi
kulit sedang breakout karena BHA berfungsi untuk mencegah peradangan
pada kulit yang disebabkan oleh jerawat. Meski demikian, tetap disarankan
untuk melakukan uji pemakaian produk di sebagian kecil kulit wajah seperti
di bagian rahang untuk memastikan kulitmu tidak bereaksi negatif.


-*-

Niacinamide & Ceramide dalam
Miraculous Refining Serum
2% Niacinamide terkandung dalam Miraculous Refining Serum. Kandungan
tersebut termasuk jenis vitamin B yang dikenal baik untuk kulit berjerawat.
Manfaatnya antara lain adalah berfungsi sebagai anti-inflammatory sehingga
bagus untuk mencegah peradangan pada jerawat, mencegah efek kemerahan
karena adanya jerawat di kulit, dan bagus untuk mengontrol minyak di wajah.
Selain itu, niacinamide juga memiliki kemampuan untuk membantu
memudarkan noda di kulit seperti bekas jerawat, membantu mengunci
kelembaban kulit dengan cara meningkatkan produksi ceramide, dan memicu
peningkatan produksi kolagen pada kulit sehingga membantu memperlambat
proses penuaan dini yang ditandai dengan kulit kendur, muncul garis halus,
dan keriput.
Selain Niacinamide, Miraculous Refining Serum juga dilengkapi dengan
kandungan Ceramide. Sesungguha, kulit kita menghasilkan ceramide atau
lipids secara alami. Sayangnya, semakin bertambahnya usia, produksi
ceramide yang berfungsi membantu menjaga barrier kulit, kelembapan, dan
kekenyalan kulit ini akan berkurang sehingga diperlukan skin care yang
mengandung ceramide. Kandungan tersebut bagus untuk menjaga kulit tetap
lembab, kenyal, dan menjaga kulit dari ancaman buruk bakteri.

-*-


Komposisi Produk
Water, Propylene Glycol, Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Amylopectin, Xanthan gum, Dextrin, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Hydroxypropyl Bisstearamide MEA, Polyglutamic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Triethanolamine, Dipropylene Glycol, Behenyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Cholesteryl Isostearate, Tricaprylin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Squalane, Cholesterol, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol.

-*-



Cara pemakaian
Miraculous Refining Serum mengandung AHA dan BHA yang merupakan
exfoliating agent. Oleh karena itu, disarankan untuk menggunakan produk ini dua hingga tiga kali seminggu pada malam hari di awal pemakaian,
frekuensi pemakaian bisa ditingkatkan bila kulit sudah terbiasa. Dan, frekuensi pemakaian bisa dikurangi bila diperlukan.
• Gunakan dalam kondisi kulit bersih
• Ambil serum sedikit saja dan pijat merata di kulit wajah setelah
menggunakan Miraculous Refining Toner
• Lanjutkan dengan penggunaan hydrating toner atau pelembab
• Wajib menggunakan sunscreen pada siang hari karena penggunaan
serum ini bisa meningkatkan sensitivitas kulit terhadap paparan sinar
matahari
• Bisa digunakan malam hari dan pagi hari atau gunakan pada malam
hari saja bila khawatir over exfoliate.
• Disarankan untuk mencoba mengaplikasikannya pada bagian tertentu
wajah, terutama untuk pemilik kulit sensitif.

Asli, panjang kali lebar kali sempit ya detailnya, super lengkap, dan mereka tuh kaya udah mengerti banget kondisi kulit. Btw, aku pernah diagnosa kulit dan dikatakan aktivitas bakteri di kulit yang sensitif dan kering ini tinggi, bayangin, tinggi. Padahal kulit daku ini super kering loh, kalau oily berjerawat yang kelihatan lah, ini mulus-mulus aja cuma butuh pelembab. Disinilah aku berasa ada benernya cobain Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum dan semua detailsnya gak pernah maksa, malah diminta di adjust dengan kondisi kulit masing-masing. Gak usah ngotot harus sehari 2x, gak usah maksa harus tiap hari, bahkaannn kalau mau campur pakai serum lain supaya gak terlalu pekat juga bisaaa.

Kurang baik apa lagi?! Biasanya brand agak arogan dan gak mau produknya dicampur-campur, tapi ini super pengertian dan apa adanya. Jadilah aku cobain dicampur dengan serum yang pure hyaluronic acid atau yang buat ngelembabin aja. Jangan yang ada AHA, BHA atau retinol. Semua itu aku hindari. Aku pernah coba langsung serum ini aja? Pernah, kulitku langsung merah dan gatel, mau nangis waktu itu dan langsung bilas dan nyaman lagi.

Jadi aku pakenya, 2 tetes Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum dan 2 tetes serum yang melembabkan, dan aku pakainya pertama hanya 2-3x seminggu (tiap malam saja), lalu minggu kedua mulai berani pakai tiap malam dan seterusnya. Tapi tetep gak pernah pakai 2x sehari, hanya tiap malam dan yang awalnya ada tingling sensation (gak gatel) lama-lama biasa aja.

-*-




Nih ya, kulitku di week 2, pas lagi pakai makeup, agak kaget, ini apa yaa kok makin pake bedak, malah makin kelihatan, ini kulit mulai exfoliate gituuu. Tapi gak ada rasa sakit atau gak nyaman, atau apapun, exfoliate aja gitu sedikit-sedikit dan aman jaya. Bukan kaya kulit abis kejemur matahari secara berlebihan dan kelupasnya segede-gede pas maskeran yang peel off ya. Ini super kecil-kecil dan hanya pas minggu kedua sih berasanya. Karena minggu ke 3 dan 4 meski pakai makeup, tidak masalah.

-*-



Silahkan dilihat dengan seksama dan cari semua perbedaan di ke-4 kulit akuh ini yang jujur akupun nyari dimana bedanya, apakah kalian sudah bisa menjawab? Yes! dark spots alias freckles, alias noda-noda hitam terutama dibawah mata. Dan yang paling bikin aku senang, dibawah cuping hidung, taukah kalian, susahnya menutup berkas kemerahan diarea tersebut yang terlihat meradang, concealer pun cepet pecah karena pori-porinya terbuka dan itu kelihatan kesumbat (errr radang merah gitu) kalau di facial sih jujur daku sengsara karena sakit pencetnya dan bersihinnya, ini pakai serum, efek banget, radang, merah, mendingan jauhhhh. Area bawah hidung itu juga sensitif dan mudah pecah loh pembuluh darahnya, jadi kalau pas facial dipencet-pencet malah salah besar dan kondisi makin gawat, mending pakai Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum ini, efek banget dan aman nyaman jaya.

Redness di kulit juga berkurang dan bener yang dikata di detail mereka, kulitku gak berasa sekering dulu malah berasa lebih nyaman dan pelembab juga lebih nempel, yah dari dulu juga nempel sih tapi lebih berasa terserap gak nyantol doank di kulit kaya nebeng jalan-jalan.

-*-


Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum bisa dibeli di website resmi
@avoskinbeauty atau di @tokopedia, aku pribadi jelas rekomen siapa aja buat coba dan bisa disesuaikan cara pemakaiannya sesuai kondisi kulit kamu. Sekarang, aku gak takut lagi pakai AHA dan BHA, asal dari Avoskin.

Thank you so much for reading the blog, semoga berguna buat kamu juga, dan karena ini produk exfoliating, jelas yang punya masalah scar atau bekas luka, ataupun bekas jerawat, bisa banget cobain. Jangan lupa share tips kalian ya yang mungkin bisa bantu orang lain juga saat pakai serum lain.

See you again soon!!

Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid


Hello lovelies,

Months ago there's an event introducing a new product from Philippines. It was from a brand that made it to the highlight there and best sellers as well, a product that said to help diminishing acne, smoothing and lightening the skin.

-*-


The event is held in Senopaty area on a Saturday, you can check out through their instagram account @MaxiPeel_ID

Why did I took so long to make this post? Simply because I want to thoroughly review it by using the product for the past month. Perhaps some of you know that I don't really have problems with my skin, but, there are few acne that like to emerge during that time of the month, or enlarge pores, or a bit of lines. By using the product continually (and images to be shared here too) you can see the before after changes.

-*-


Here are some of the highlights during the event:

Maxi-Peel Micro-Exfoliant Fluids kini hadir di Indonesia
sebagai produk eksfolian revolusioner yang aman digunakan setiap hari

Charmaine E. Sales, Brand Manager Personal Care Maxi-Peel,
menjelaskan bahwa Maxi-Peel Micro-Exfoliant Fluid mengandung Skin Renewal
Micro-Exfoliant dan Skin Vitamins yang dapat membantu proses eksfoliasi
tanpa kemerahan pada kulit

  dr. Melyawati Hermawan, SpKK mengungkapkan bahwa perawatan
eksfoliasi adalah salah satu perawatan pada kulit wajah yang dapat membantu
perempuan Indonesia mendapatkan kulit yang lebih cantik, lebih cerah, dan
tampak awet muda

Setelah sukses di Filipina, Maxi-Peel Micro-Exfoliant Fluids
telah hadir di Indonesia untuk membantu perempuan Indonesia mendapatkan
kulit wajah lebih cantik, lebih cerah, dan tampak awet muda

-*-


Listening to them, I was assured that using Maxi Peel is a wise choice, it helps the skin to regenerate better, especially in my age, or for those who suffers from dull skin at any age. Dead skin cells can blocked anytime and to anyone, hence Maxi Peel is handy for any age (above 20 perhaps, and any gender).

-*-



In the Philippine itself, the product we see now is called Maxi-Peel Zero Micro-Exfoliant Fluid.

Maxi-Peel Zero Micro-Exfoliant Fluid penetrates, cleanses and exfoliates every layer of your skin, helping eliminate pimples, blackheads and blemishes with ZERO redness and ZERO peeling. It is made up of Skin Renewal Micro-Exfoliants and Skin Vitamins that helps you reveal radiantly clear, smooth and fair skin from inside out. Maxi-Peel Zero Micro-Exfoliant Fluid can be your everyday companion for that beautifully-renewed skin you’ve always wanted!

So, it is a product made for daily, so it is not as harsh as any exfoliant we know on the market.

-*-


How to use it? Easy! On a cleaned skin, dab a cotton pad with it and gently wiped the skin all over using that damped cotton pad, no need massaging nor pressure, just let the product works it's magic by itself, and from the first time usage, I only let it swipe my face in one circular motion without repeating numerous times, like 1-2 times on an area is enough.

And since I do have very sensitive cheek, normally I wipe this area once every 3 days while areas like forehead, nose and chin could be once every 1-2 days. So we can easily adjust to our skin need, either daily, to once a week. You can also skip it when you're skin is having problem like sunburn or anything else. It was really flexible and adjustable.

-*-




After wiping the skin with the damp cotton, use any toner that you normally use, serum, skincare too. Since Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid preferably used for night time, I can feel comfortable getting my skin thoroughly cleansed by it and the pores have no barrier, so the product also made skincare absorbed better by the skin.

Do read the ingredients on your skincare, from toner, serum, to moisturizer so they don't contain exfoliating agents too. If you are in doubt, you can simply skip skincare and use a hydrating moisturizer after that.

-*-



The best part about the Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid is that I can use it on other areas like heels, elbows to other hardening parts of our body, they'll make the skin softer and after that, using lotion is easier, the skin appear brighter, more delicate and not rough anymore.

By continue using the exfoliant on the skin that was so dry and damaged, and continue with proper moisturizing product afterwards, the healing process is faster and significantly shown. I know that it was made for facial skin, but the body skin also can have benefit in using it. Results on my heels and elbows can be seen from around 2 weeks of daily usage.

-*-



The product made a huge differences even thou' it was tiny heehee, I even carry it during my trip to Japan. Since I'm outdoor most of the time, I never forget to use the sunscreen every morning and use special gear like hat or umbrella whenever needed, so the sun exposure is reduced.

The exfoliant fluid helps skin regeneration, hence new skin is exposed, always use sunblocks and protects the skin from too much UV ray.

A lot of people only use sunglasses to protect their eyes but our skin need the protection too. Don't forget to avoid the sun on hours from 10 am to 3 pm whenever possible, but if can't, like when you're having outdoor sport or work, do use sun protection. Some clothing brand now also made special material that keep the skin safe from UV, to avoid misconception, sun ray is good in the morning, but not too much during the day, it leads to skin aging to even cancer.

-*-



Stylish hat is handy for me heehee, in Japan there are so many hats I can choose and they do understand the concept of protecting the facial skin from the sun hence a wider and bigger coverage on the front part. Still, don't forget to use a sunblock lotion for a more comprehensive shield.

Why do I keep emphasizing on protecting the skin? Since the skin is rejuvenate by Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid, the new skin is still young, hence they are softer and healthier. Hence we want to keep it that way, like a fresh new day, a new promise, of a better lifestyle too. We are getting new chance by Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant, that's why a correct way in caring for the skin is needed.

Including, no more touching or worse pinching the pimple to pop it, they'll make acne scars, let all wound heal naturally, use skincare diligently that promote hydrating and moisturizing the skin in a correct way, use products that cares even to the most sensitive skin. Clean makeup everyday, especially always clean them before sleep.

-*-





Proper sleep, balance diet, healthy lifestyle, are all needed in maintaining beautiful skin, all are possible with a new start with Maxi Peel Micro Fluid.

Some may ask, "Do I really need an exfoliant?", here's a few illustration, like a our scalp that was cleaned on routine basic by shampoo, some buildups can still happen. From silicone or other hair care or styling that need 'detoxing', that's why we know about detox shampoo or a deep clean one that we can use once a month or a week, depends on once need.

Same goes with an exfoliant, some may need it more often than the others, some people might have good regenerating period while others are not so lucky, hence we know why some people have dull skin.

Products like beads scrub can have microcirculation but they don't really exfoliate the skin like Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid that goes to the cells. Those beads no matter how big or small, is simply more to the 'massage'.

-*-




Okay, now the highlight that you all wants to see, the before after of using Maxi Peel Micro Exfoliant Fluid for roughly a month with usage from every day for the first 3 days, to twice a week and once a week to whenever needed like 1-2 times a week. See, always pay attention to the skin and use it when needed, from everyday to whenever possible. Look for signs like when the skin is not really at it's best and skip to the part that ready for exfoliant. The key is getting to know your skin as well.

The feeling of using the product should be comfortable, if some parts stings, do try to use it less or avoid that part for a few days, maybe that part is much more sensitive than the others.

Back to my before after images, look below and see the noticeable differences.

-*-



Remember that I've been traveling to Japan and spend most of my days outdoor under the sun for 10 days, it was summer. The skin should be darker but it's not, it's brighter.

The pores looks far less, the dark spots are reduced (ask any dermatologist, dark spots are tough to handle), acne marks minimized by far and heal faster too, my skin overally look even out, healthier.

On the before image I took it after a shower and using proper skincare, while the after is just after waking up in the morning heehee, haven't even washed up nor touch any skincare but the skin still looks fresher and far better than the before. They after skin appear firmer too, I love looking at my after skin condition so much.

Using less makeup is very much possible.

-*-


A bottle last around a month on me and it is so cheap, a bottle of 60 ml is only around Rp. 20.000.

Thank you so much Maxi Peel Exfoliant Fluid and you for reading my post, see you again soon.

Lush Ocean Salt

Hello lovelies,

as facial exfoliating and scrubbing is never my thing, sometime I do still scrub my body, and when I do, I use only the best as it helps micro-circulation and in this case, smells so oceanic good too.

-*-




Coconut cream and sea salt scrub
Washing with Ocean Salt is like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt, dead skin and blockages for a bright, fresh face. We mix in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, leaving it balanced and soft. The cleansing effects of lime and vodka are ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes and leave skin visibly brightened. It's no wonder Ocean Salt is so enormously popular!

Splash water on your face and apply about a teaspoonful of scrub using an upward, circular motion to exfoliate and refresh the skin. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry. Ocean Salt can also be used on other parts of the body including chest, back, arms and legs.

Suitable for all skin types: Ocean Salt is beneficial for combination to dull and oily skin, and works well to occasionally exfoliate dry skin.
Our most exfoliating cleanser: Ocean Salt contains a combination of coarse and fine sea salt.
For an invigorating scrub: Salt and citrus oils can cause irritation for sensitive skin types. If you’re quite sensitive, we suggest using a gentler product.
-*-





So yes, it was recommended for oily skin, and for those with sensitive skin like me, be careful. For the face area, I use the scrub on the nose only as it tends to accumulate dirt, sebum and have a high chance of getting blackheads and whiteheads too. For the body, I use on areas that are acne prone, like the back side, chest and rough parts like elbows, knees and heels.

Since Jakarta is pretty much humid and I sweat easily, those acne prone areas on the body need Ocean Salt even more. Other part perhaps getting exfoliate once or twice a month, back side and chest could get once a week. And the product is so comfortable, it has rough scrubs since it is using natural ingredients aka coarse sea salt, but the more I scrub it, the more it melts, since it is salts after all. So I use it only when the skin is damp, not completely wet.

-*-




The color of the product is super cute, like it was not completely blend, so there's a gradation of white to soft blue, kinda like the ocean during winter. And it does have unique texture, with fine and coarse sea salt, it felt different. As salt helps cleans the skin, it disinfect too, it helps eliminating bad odor.

-*-




Overall,

Ocean Salt is one of the must have item in my home, it cleans, exfoliate and even thou it feels rough, it was actually gentle and I enjoy the effects on my skin and how it interacts. The after result that's liberating, fresh and super clean is addictive. As it contains citrus, it helps purifying and fights oily sebum.

Citra Sabun Lulur


Hello lovelies,

last night I went into an event at Dharmawangsa area. An event that celebrate the new variant from Citra beauty world, Citra Sabun Lulur is here.

-*-


Combining soap and exfoliating (or lulur in Bahasa) Indonesian can now enjoy daily routine of having a shower while deep cleaning their skin with the very fine beads by Citra.

Natural ingredients such as, rice, Japanese rice, milk, turmeric, pearl and other kind of ingredients are infused into each variant. There are three variants Citra Lulur Spotless White, Natural White and Pearly White.

-*-


The scents of the variants itself are in sync with their previous collection, they all smells so fragrant and we can pick which one, or two that we like to use every day.

Some prefer the white ones, others like the pink and the rest are in love with the fresh green notes.
For me, it depends on my mood daily.


-*-


The tagline of 'bright and clean skin every day' is introduced as busy women can now experience 'lulur' on daily basis without the concern of over exfoliated skin using traditional method that might be too harsh when done daily.

You can still enjoy 'lulur' or deep exfoliating once or twice a month.

-*-


Uci Rudjito, Maria Rahajeng are there to share about the product and what they view about beauty itself.

We are all agreed that beauty is not just about what's look on the outside, but the inner beauty as well. Being kind, confidence, and how they interact with others.

-*-


After the small talk show, we look into the texture of the product, almost everyone (including me) had a chance to try the product on the spot. The beads are indeed soft and really gentle and unlike other beads I've tried, and the skin feels squeaky clean after use and very fragrant.

-*-


We also did a test during the event, some foundation is applied on the surface of the egg, Citra Sabun Lulur cleans well without damaging the surface of the egg. It remains smooth and moist.

-*-


Comparison are done between the product and the conventional lulur, in so many ways Citra Sabun Lulur are proven to be softer and gentler to the skin, suitable for daily use. However, the soap on the product itself is like said above, it gives the skin a squeaky clean effect which is drying on the skin. Those with dry and sensitive skin wont really enjoy using the products.

-*-


A workshop is added at the end of the event where everyone can make aromatherapy candles. Some flowers and aromatic ingredients are given, guests can choose which one to put on their candles. 

-*-


The candles itself already so fragrant since using the same perfume like the ones inside Citra.

So most of the  aroma is from the candle. It was a liquid candle at first, the flowers and other ingredients can be put and stick when dried (around 20 minutes).

-*-


Here are two candles that I made last night and now hanging in my bedroom and made the room smells lovely.

-*-


Thank you so much Citra for the wonderful event at Plataran Dharmawangsa, truly a gorgeous place to be.

-*-


See you again soon!!

Hello lovelies,

last week Juara has just announced their newest addition in the scrub/mask area called Radiance Enzyme Scrub.

The event is held at Lafayette, Juara newest counter in Jakarta.

-*-

  • After 2 weeks use, 90% said their skin looked refined

-*-

The new baby in sync with Juara philosophy in using natural and safe ingredients for the skin.Plus, since the new regulation in USA has no more micro beads in it, their Radiance Enzyme Scrub also micro beads free. Safer for the environment and for our skin too.

-*-



During the event, Juara also share their current available mask and scrubs. We can see and tried their texture, plus smells the natural ingredients. Since I'm a huge fan of anything natural, they smells great for me. Including the new scrub.

-*-


Ms. Metha, one of the founder, as usual, she excitedly explain her passion and love regarding the new product and there's also something else, seems like Juara having some juices during the event and she coherently introducing how the product and beverage in the same line of being with nature and health plus beauty division.

I manage to try some of the juices and they are so fresh and do feels healthy to consume.

-*-


Seems like it was a day of fun for everyone who attends, we have a chance be beautified from within as well as our skins. There's hand pampering using the scrub and their beautiful candlenut collection that smells so heavenly. Oh, don't forget to check my instagram account @Carnellin for the ongoing giveaway with candlenut candle and some minis as the prize.

-*-


Let's go back to the scrub, shall we?! The product comes in a tube and the it has all the signature signs of Juara, the details, decor and the same color as the rest of their products.

-*-



The deep brown color reminds me of the earth and the gold resemblance the richness of Indonesian heritage and culture.

Beautiful!

-*-


US standard in providing the details on the box and on the tube. Their website also suffice in terms of explaining all the necessary information from ingredients to how to use and tips too.

One thing that they emphasize is the duo function of the product as a scrub and mask at the same time.

-*-


Apply the product on the skin, spread like using a mask, not too thin, not too thick, just right. Enjoy the delightful fruity scent thanks to the apple enzyme in it.

-*-



Let the product set on the skin for a few minutes.

The product is paraben free, 100% vegetarian, hence you can rest assure of using only safe ingredients for the skin.

I never experience any discomfort, allergic reaction, nor problems when using products from Juara, my skin is rather sensitive in terms of artificial perfume or harsh chemicals, so far, they are happy using Juara.

-*-


And scrubs hasn't been a friend as well, but again, using Radiance Enzyme Scrub is a total please(r).

-*-


The scrub somehow looks like a pineapple paste (and smells kinda like it too), golden and beautiful. Jelly or gel like and easy to be spread on the skin. I prefer using the product after cleaning the skin from makeup and after foaming facial wash.

-*-

When distributed, it becomes transparent and again, at this stage, I'm enjoying the delicious tropical scent. And yes, Ms. Metha assured us, the scent are all comes from natural ingredients.

-*-


There's no tingling, warm or any 'weird' sensation when using the product. I left it there for a couple of minutes and seen to be a bit dried up.

-*-


This is the time when the enzyme working on the skin. And after they felt dry, gently massage the skin and then I add a bit of water, it become like this paste below.

-*-


I add more water it clears up and like lathers a bit too before finally rinsing everything off.

The skin becomes so clear, fresh and super clean, like they are just being detoxed without any pressure, harsh massaging movement (like during 'luluran'), so my skin doesn't suffer any problem like most scrub does since it's the enzyme that works on the skin.

There are fine scrubs particles felt on the skin but it was fine and overall comfortable.

-*-


Conclusion:

One of the best scrub I've used. Suitable for any skin type, including those with erupting acne since the enzyme works really well in cleaning the skin and promote healing. Sensitive skin like mine can also enjoy the product and yes, after being clean thoroughly with Radiance Enzyme Scrub the skin can absorb skincare better since the dead skin are washed away.

Thank you Juara!!
