5 Best Face Wash For Any Skin Type

Hello lovelies,

sorry for being mia for quite some time, it's been like a down time for me. Usually on my period somehow I'm far weaker than usual, still, without further ado, collaborating with Komunitas Beauty Blogger & Vlogger KBBV in this beautiful month of January 2018, here are some of my utmost favorite face wash and I highly recommended them as it is so versatile, any genre, gender and age may use. They may are made for certain skin type but they do works on any.

-*-




Start with Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in Mild, yes it is mild, but it made beautiful bubbles and froth that cleans the skin without causing them to dry. From sensitive, dry, normal to oily skin can enjoy the cleansing ability as it is so smooth and soft. Don't underestimate the 'mildness' as it still effective and can be use as often as you want.

I let the whole family enjoy using the product and they all do enjoy it. From the kids to my husband acne and oily prone skin.

Next in line, is from my favorite brand too, which unfortunately not yet available in Indonesia, Neutrogena. It was made to wonder.

It is a liquid cleanser alright but made to amaze as we can use it on dry skin with makeups on, so it's like cleansing oil, but after letting the makeup melts, add some water and it turns into a face wash, just like any face wash it bubbles up and cleans thoroughly. Some even say that it is the best of both world as it cleanse like cleansing oil but with the squeaky clean feeling of a face wash.

Those who seeks for an all in one solution should try this product and it comes in 3 variants too for brightening, normal to hydrating.

The product comes in a pump bottle and clear gel, smells good and works well. But on some hard waterproof makeup, do clean them first using a real oily base makeup remover before proceeding to this product.

-*-

Back in the old days, there's this powder that turns into cleanser, it's kinda like detergent for the clothing :D Somehow reminds me of that (oops). But this thingy is for the face and it comes with enzyme hence it has to be kept in dry form.

When you are ready to use it, pour some powder on a clean hand and add a bit water to work it through. They'll bubbles up almost immediately and use that bubbles to clean the skin. By making them wet and foaming it up, we activate the product and it become ready to be used.

Now as the product has been activated, it will clean the skin all the way to the pores, and it felt so good. The skin feels very clean, if you're looking for a squeaky clean feeling and this is it. But afterwards they'll smooth the skin up and they wont feel dry.

What I love about the product is that they'll take the dead skin off too, it'll make the skin appear brighter in an instant as it take the dullness away.

-*-

Three Balancing Foam is probably the most exclusive of them all as it was made with special ingredients and smells so special too. Like a garden of citrus just bursting into my senses.

The product comes in a thick white cream and as any other Japanese facial wash, it bubbles up like whipped cream at it's peak. It lathers on beautifully, so soft and irresistible. I love it so much and everyone in the family enjoying it so much too as it works really well in cleansing the skin. They are not a makeup remover but it cleanse traces of makeup remover and daily debris in an instant. A refreshing feeling is unavoidable and I believe there's many skincare benefits as well, as the price perhaps should equivalent to the effect :D

-*-

And if you're looking for a much more friendlier price, always try a drug store brand like Kracie, Naive Aloe Vera foaming facial wash that also bubbles up abundantly and creating a soft whipped cream like foam with a faint and very subtle scent.

The cream is thick and white, kinda similar to most products that bubbles up like this, I guess Japanese people really like these kind of products that foamed up without fail, even when I turn the bowl upside down they will not fall.

There's many (like really a lot) foaming facial wash from Japan that are like this, so you can simply choose according to the budget, scent, and perhaps accessibility as they are kinda similar in terms of benefit, the fun is in the bubbles that said to clean all the way to the pores.

So there you go, from drug store to high end. From liquid to thick cream, they are all suitable for all skin type and easy to be used. We all love those bubbles in our face wash and I don't think we'll ever get over it, they are a never ending trend. -*-




Don't forget to check out KBBV Instagram account and Rani Oktavia , she also write some of her favorites which is more suitable for those with oily skin.
Until then, see you again soon on my next post.

Kracie Naive Facial Cleansing Foam Aloe Vera

Hello lovelies,

this is Naive foaming cleansing wash from Kracie. This time I have a chance to review for Kawaii Beauty Japan.

Naive have several variant of foaming cleansing wash, from peach, rose and this one is Aloe Vera.

-*-

The packaging is in light green, a typical shade for products that contain aloe vera, I guess they are 'inspired' by the ingredients. But what's surprise me is that, this one actually made a difference.

I've tried many variety from Kracie foaming facial wash and most of them are similar one to another, until I try the Aloe Vera variant.

-*-

Before we get to the experience let's learn more about the product.

On the tube it is said that Kracie Naive Cleansing Foam Aloe Vera made from 100% soap nut that is organic. With lots of foam, the product able to clean and remove dead skin cells gently. With Aloe Vera extract, Olive oil, and Althaea to soothe and calm the skin with natural moisture.

The ingredients also listed on the tube, please do click on any image for larger view.

-*-

Alongside with the product comes along the foam net. This kind of net is common in Japan. You can see them in many form and sizes throughout beauty shops in Japan. This net are made specially for foaming up the facial wash. It is needed as the specific foam can be created and help clean the skin more thoroughly and much gentler than without these nets.

-*-

The net given actually quite large, and I love it, the net make better foams and easier as well to be used than the smaller one, and yes, I do have several nets at home and this one is the largest.

-*-

As usual, I put around 3-4 cm of the product on to the net. With hands only, there's no way the foam could be this good, it would take longer and still not fluffy enough. Using the net, within 2-3 minutes the foam will achieve that perfect density and so soft too. The bubbles are much tinier to reach the pores and in better quality as well. This is the result of the product and the net. So, with the net alone, if the product is not good, the result wont be close to perfection.

-*-




How to know whether the foam is perfect, first of all, the density, they look pretty much like a perfectly whipped egg whites, they don't fall down when you put the container upside down. So when you put a bunch on your palm, they'll stay as fluffy and as soft as they can be but stays on the hand even when you flip them around. The color should be unified as well and as you can see, they are very bouncy. This is the foam you should be using when cleaning the skin. It's the foam that works through the tiny pores (because their sizes also tiny) and never irritate the skin since the product already been well developed.

-*-






The result of using Kracie Naive Facial Cleansing Foam Aloe Vera is a very clean and super soft skin. I really love the softness, it is really different than the peach and rose variant that I've tried. My skin becomes hydrated and so comfortable. This is my favorite variant so far.

-*-

Thank you Kawaii Beauty Japan and Kracie for the lovely product.

Introducing Kracie Naive in Rose Extract, Peach, Hadabisei Mask for Acne Care,Brightening, Extra Moist, and Eye Zone

Hello everybody,

I'm back with more products from Kracie ^__^ they really have a lot of items, even thou' not all of them make it their way to Indonesia, I hope someday all of them do, we can be happy with more variations wont we?! A good competition shall bring the quality up and the price down :D haha! So what do we want? More choices!!!

Kracie comes in many range, for body, hair and facial usage. Their series such as Ichikami for the hair, has been reviewed at my blog: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.com/2014/01/ichikami-series-by-kracie.html.

Now, I want to continue sharing about Hadabisei and Naive.

-*-

Hadabisei is focusing on facial care, comes in many variations according to your skin's need, from brightening, eye care, and above is their anti acne white mask.

-*-

Here are some details from www.kracie.co.jp:

Naive face wash is formulated with 100% plant based washing ingredients and selected botanical essences

♦ Skin conditioning with botanical power.
♦ Formulated with botanical essence, botanical oil & Glycosil-Trehalose BP.

-*-

♦ Double action formula for superior clarity and suppleness: Defined luminosity.
♦ With pure vitamin C derivatives & Glucosamine/No fragrance added/No color added.

-*-

And I really want to show you their lovely facial wash, this one is called Naive Rose Extract. The peach will foamed up the same but comes in different concern.

The lovely rose scent is mild and comforting, I'm using a foam net to help me get that dense abundant foam faster and better. I bought mine during a sponsored trip to Japan, but you may get one in Indonesia at Daisho or other Japanese beauty store. It was very cheap, some cost as little as 100 Yen to around 500 Yen (but seriously, as long as it works well, 100 Yen will do).

-*-

Using the palm as the bowl, add enough water, gently move the net back and forth until the fluffy white foam is created, strip it off the net, and voila, the lovely foam are there.

-*-

So soft, super fluffy and if you look closely, the air bubbles are much much much smaller than the one made by hands only and using (not-so-good) regular or local foaming facial wash on the market with the same price as Naive. So these tiny bubbles are the one that cleans deeply into the pores without striping the moisture off the skin which bigger bubbles do because they aren't fully developed.

That's also the reason why some feels like their skin is not clean enough even thou' they used facial foaming product. Try damp a cotton pad with a toner, swipe it off, if there's still some dirt left, than you haven't done a perfect cleansing routine.

Take note, remove makeup using a makeup remover first before a foaming facial wash, this method also known as double cleansing for that perfect cleanliness.

-*-

A perfectly fluffed up foam should be easily put upside down without going down. Like a delicious white whipping cream. Or like a perfectly whipped egg whites, perhaps with sugar ... Oh gosh, I would love a meringue right now ^__^ ups.

-*-

Doesn't it reminds you of a meringue, well, unbaked meringue.

-*-

Okay, snap out of it and back to the foaming facial wash, the foam will easily spread through the entire surface of the damp face, and massage them gently effortlessly while removing the debris without hassle. It's like the face is being cared and gently kissed all over by the foam.

-*-

Rinse everything off when finished with clean water and noticed the skin become clean without feeling tight and dry.

And then I continue by using a facial mask from Hadabisei. I choose the brightening. The quality of the mask is good, the cottony face mask feels soft on the skin.

-*-

There are details provided on the packaging, in Japanese and Indonesian language. I was told by Kracie that this mask is their favorite items sold in Asia. And she also told me that she uses face mask every day, probably not the same range everyday but she does uses them everyday and routinely. It is a different method to us in Indonesia where we usually use mask once or twice a week. I guess their mask is usable for daily usage.

-*-

This is me using the mask, haha! Let's just face it, I can't make myself looking decent nor pretty while using these kind of mask. The size is definitely too big for me, perhaps my face is too small for the mask, well, either way, the feeling is comfortable and I think the product suits those with sensitive skin as well, but careful thou' not to use it when you have a boo boo on your skin as warned at the packaging.

-*-

When finished (around 20 minutes) there's still some liquid left, I massage the skin gently so no liquid are wasted. Continue with moisturizer. There are some stickiness felt but reduced after 30-40 minutes later. Maybe it is best for us to use it in the afternoon or before night time skincare routine as we can sleep and relax with the remaining liquid and add some moisturizer for an overnight mask experience.

-*-

The vitamin C inside will help clears out complexion and the collagen are supposed to boost the hydration and skin elasticity, I can feel improvements from one usage but for a long term result will need a long term usage as well to maintain or help the skin condition daily.

Thank you Kracie.

And you for reading my blog, stay tune for more reviews and products update.
