A purifying mask that helps to regulate excess oil secretion, cleans clogged pores and prevents the recurrence of pimples. Neem, well-known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, and their recurrence. Combines with Turmeric, it helps remove acne-causing bacteria. Fuller's Earth (Multani Mitti) cools and soothes the skin, improving skin texture and leaving you with clear, problem-free skin.

Key Ingredients:

• Fuller's Earth, Neem, Turmeric.

Directions for use:

Apply evenly over cleaned face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes. Allow to dry for 10-15 minutes. Removes with a wet sponge and wash with cool water. Use once or twice a week. Do not apply on broken or inflamed skin.

-*-

Since some parts of my skin is dry and not oily nor in the category needing the mask, I only put it on the area that do. The areas in which most of the bacterias are found. Nose and chin where it is acne prone.

The product contain kaolin and other natural ingredients that made it possible to kills bacteria and help heal acne, 'absorb' sebum and grease on the skin. After using the mask I can see the immediate result, very clean and oil free skin. It is a different kind of clean than regular cleansing. It's like it deep cleanse the skin and takes all impurities. I do recommend oily skin type to try this and see the immediate result of using it.

The mask itself feels plain, I don't feel any discomfort whatsoever. The look and the texture may look yucky but the smell is fragrant and gentle enough for the skin. When it is drying on the skin, I feel a bit tight, because the material is hardening when used. Which make cleaning it a bit tricky, I dislike repeatedly wiping it off with a cloth, so I just make them really wet by splashing it a few times, then gently massage the hardened mask, and splash some water again, and keep repeating this sequence until they break off by itself without any force.

Recommended to be used when needed, my normal to dry skin need to use it around twice a month.

Next is the lip balm, like mentioned in the video, it smells like bubble gum ^__^ for me the lip balm is like any other good quality lip balm I've used, but this one contains more natural ingredients than chemicals.

Enriched with wheatgerm oil, a rich source of vitamine E, Himalaya Herbals lip balm nourishes and softens your lips. It also contains Carrot seed oil, a natural sunscreen, to protect your lips from the harsh UV rays of the sun.

Key Ingredients:

• Carrot seed, Castor, Coconut, wheatgerm.

The texture is a cloudy gel with slippery effect. Suitable for those who are looking for a lip balm with mild glossy effect. It embalms the lips with a bit of oily feeling.
-*-

Next is the Complete Care Herbal Toothpaste, a product which I brought to Japan with me.

Actually, I really want to bring them all, it's a good thing I didn't, apparently I don't have enough time to do them all and the luggage has completely bloated anyway.

-*-

Complete Care Herbal Toothpaste is an advanced herbal formulation that ensures your gums remain healthy and protected. Its Gum Expert Formula, with herbal actives of Miswak, Neem and Pomegranate, helps prevent gum inflammation, reduces gum bleeding and keeps them healthy.

Key Ingredients:

• Miswak and Babool
• Neem
• Pomegranate

Directions for use:
Brush thoroughly, at least twice a day or as directed by a dentist or physician.
Children 6 years or below should have adult supervision and use only a pea-sized amount. Do not swallow. Spit and rinse thoroughly after brushing.

-*-

I'm a accustomed in using the toothpaste all the way from side to side of the brushes, so this toothpaste apparently only need a pea sized amount and it doesn't lie. A little really goes along the way, the milky gray colored toothpaste is thick and rich. It cleans the teeth really well, almost like a polishing effect all over.

I don't really have a gum problem but so does when using this toothpaste. A clean and light minty feeling is acquired with one more specialty, there's a freshness unlike other toothpaste with just mints.

I don't know which ingredients does that, it keep the mouth feeling and smelling fresh longer and better than most toothpaste I know. It's the feeling that you could only understand after trying it ^__^

Am I done trying them? Not yet! This cleanser is next along with more products from Himalaya Herbals, stay tune ya!

Thank you Himalaya Herbals Indonesia.

Belif Men Manology 101,Facial Cleansing Foam, Alcohol Free Toner, Essential Moisturizer.

Hi everyone,

as a continuation from my previous post on Manology 101 from Belif (HERE), now it's the series for the face.

Facial Cleansing Foam, Alcohol Free Toner (hooray), and Essential Moisturizer. A simple 3 step skincare regime for the men to look good with healthy skin all over.

My husband skin type is rather oily, dehydrated, with lines and wrinkles plus acne prone too.

Let's start the routine with the first step, cleansing.

-*-

As like all belif products, everything is written in the packaging, no mineral oil, no synthetic fragrances, no synthetic preservatives, no sodium lauryl sulfate, etc. So inside there are natural origin ingredients beneficial for the skin.

-*-

This is the cleanser, thick, creamy, kinda like a dense foam and like mentioned in the image, smells really good. Like a fresh citrus, berry and some other herbs.

Details from www.belifcosmetic.com:

Creamy cleansing foam refreshes the skin and deep cleanses impurities in pores. Formulated with antioxidant-rich Mediterranean Lemon Balm, it rejuvenates and purifies men’s skin dulled and tired by smoking, drinking, and stress

Mineral oil, Synthetic fragrance, Synthetic preservatives, Triethanolamine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Dispense onto hands and work into a rich lather. Gently massage over wet face with circular movements and rinse with lukewarm water.

-*-

The cleansing foam lather up easily and cleans daily debris such as sweats, grease, dirt and sebum too. I enjoy the aroma very much and so does my husband. Yes, I did try it too. And when rinsed there's this squeakiness, but after dried the squeakiness is gone, the skin left with soft and smooth sailing clean feeling.

Hubby said:

The cleansing foam lathers easily and give the skin a clean effect without drying. Nice smell too!

Note for ladies, the cleanser doesn't clean makeup.

-*-

Then followed by the toner.

An alcohol-free toner for men’s skin that is exposed to frequent shaving and various external factors. Readily absorbed and gently soothes and moisturizes sensitive skin after cleansing or shaving. Formulated with Marrubium to calm sensitive skin, and Apple Mint for its powerful anti-blemish properties to protect men’s trouble-prone oily skin.

Mineral oil, Synthetic fragrance, Synthetic dyes, Synthetic preservatives, Animal-origin ingredients.

After cleansing or shaving, put a suitable amount on the palm and gently pat the face until absorbed. If preferred, moisten a cotton pad and glide over face in an outward motion.

-*-




With Marrubium, sebum control herb complex, Napiers Original formula. Apparently this product understand that most men are looking for a sebum control in their toner, I know for sure my husband, brothers and dad enjoy this toner for it's sebum control properties without drying the skin off it's moisture.

-*-

The texture is almost like water and felt like water too. This is comforting for men's skin, especially knowing that a lot of men's product out there do consist of alcohol, from the very high level til the mildly available. So belif alcohol free toner is a refreshing choice for the men.

My hubby said: The toner felt like water, are you sure this is a toner?
Me: Yes
Hubby: Okay, it's good then, there's no sting effect or sharpness like other toner which have alcohol in it. But how come there's zero scent?
Me: There is, it's mild, but I can smell there's a faint scent. Very faint indeed.
Hubby: So there's no scent?
Me: Err.....Kinda. So, how's the effect on the skin?
Hubby: It's good, it made the sebum less productive.

Good then! \^0^/

Continued by Essential Moisturizer

Alcohol-free essential moisturizer for men with a fresh feel that absorbs quickly into the skin, enriching it with moisture to give skin a silky texture.  Formulated with Imperatoria that protects and replenishes the skin dulled and worn from smoking, drinking and stress.

Mineral oil, Synthetic fragrance, Synthetic dyes, Synthetic preservatives, Animal-origin ingredients or Alcoal.

After toning, dispense a small amount and apply smoothly over entire face.

-*-

Another alcohol free product which is so light and juicy at the same time. I can feel the hydrating effect instantly without being too much.

-*-

Hubby: Wow, the product is very hydrating but not oily at all. The scent also fresh and not bothering.

Me: Not bothering?

Hubby: Yes, I dislike an overly fragrance product. This one is okay.

Me: Good then \^0^/

Overall, the Essential Moisturizer gives the skin the basic need of hydration without the grease. On the skin the moisturizer feels light, cooling and refreshing at the same time. Leaving the skin plumped and moist too. Rated 'good' from my husband means it's really good, as normally he complains a lot and rarely praise, so when belif's Manology 101 get his stamp, it means they are recommended ^__^

Bottom line, all three products here are recommended for being so light and providing the basic need's of men's skin without being too much or leave any unnecessary leftovers. Smells freshly good and it seems like all three of them got the right texture, lightness yet fulfilling in the same time.

Must try! Let your man have it and show him by these 3 simple steps, his skincare need's are suffice. No more dry itchy irritated skin, say hello to healthy elastic skin and comfort all the way.

All products available in Belif Indonesia.
