Origins Out of Trouble

Hello lovelies,

this is the final mask out of three, I've reviewed the one for hydration (sleeping mask), deep pore cleansing (with charcoal), and now, the one that people with acne-prone skin would love to use, Out of Trouble. 

-*-

Which one is it? The one in the white tube.
Same size, same chubbiness, and later you'll see, they are all in the same high quality ingredients that speaks effectiveness.

-*-

Drink Up - Intensive is for dry skin or any skin that love hydration, Clear Improvements with charcoal that deep cleans and detoxing the skin, and now Out Of Trouble that I've been using to diminish my acne during that special time during a month where my zits are emerging with anger.

Some time they are tiny and easy to be forgotten, but sometime, they are raging with ooze and pain, it's undeniably annoying.

-*-

Like all of their products, everything is written clearly on the packaging, providing ample information like ingredients and how to use to make it effective.

This is probably the most suitable mask for oily skin too.

-*-

What it is:

A multi-action mask that rescues troubled skin.

What it is formulated to do:

When skin is too slick or when more pressing problems start to pop up, it's Origins to the rescue. Formulated with natural troubleshooters, including super-absorbent zinc oxide and sulfur plus calming camphor, this mask rapidly responds to problem skin with a three-part plan: sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away irksome debris.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

- Parabens

- Sulfates

- Phthalates

What else you need to know:

Best for combination to oily skin.

Suggested Usage:
-Layer over clean face and throat.
-Avoid eye area.
-Wait 10 minutes.
-Remove with damp washcloth.

-Camphor: This highly aromatic herb has been prized for its purifying and preservative powers. It is also a counter-irritant and skin purifier.

Water, Cetyl Esters, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Camphor, Ceteareth-20, Salicylic Acid, Colloidal Sulfur, Butylene Glycol, Bentonite, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol.

-*-

The color of the thick cream is white and immediately, I've notices the richness of the texture, yet still very smooth and soft, like they were blend very well.

The smell of salicylic acid is so obvious and noticeable alongside with other herbs commonly use for anti acne product, it was like they are using the best ingredients since it is so powerful.

Look at the image below, the acne that I've been talking about, the one that making me cringe.

-*-

This is the only mask out of the three that I've been using only on the area affected by oiliness and acne. So I don't use it all over. Since my skin is more to the dry side.

Still, this is by far the most comfortable anti acne, anti oil, purifying mask I've tried. Usually, they'll sting, irritate, and make me feel very uncomfortable with the dryness, but Out of Trouble have been purely gentle without neglecting their effectiveness. Which make it, again, probably the best mask I've tried for acne and oil care.

-*-

I can combine using the mask with others like the charcoal that deep cleans. Usually after using the mask, acne will disappear in 1-2 days without leaving a mark. This is what I find to be amazing, I know some people may have more problematic acne, so using it more often can help shorten the healing time, so the acne will become less raging. Sebum, greasy skin, are no longer felt, the skin will experience the cleanliness like never before and the skin stays matte longer without the side effect of dryness nor dehydration.

-*-

These three is definitely a must have collection for everyone, we all need a deep cleanse, nourishing and hydration, plus once in a while skin SOS with Out of Trouble. I'm definitely recommending the masks for everyone I love.

-*-

What do you think? A flawless skin always appeal attractive, right?!

The only cons about these babies are probably the price that's a bit high, but I assure you, they worth it.

-*-

Thanks for reading my post, see you again soon.

Origins Clear Improvement® Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores

Hello lovelies,

I'm back with more review for Origins with the masks for every climate.

In this collection I'll share with you the Clear Improvement made for acne and oil control. Still, this product is made suitable for all skin type from dry, normal to oily, amazing isn't it?! So, those who have dry skin with acne, or normal skin with acne, or dehydrated skin with greasy oily, can all use this product.

-*-





The box contain information to all of the masks inside.

On each of the tube, there's details too, no worries about finding all the necessary information as their website also provide everything well.

-*-




From the how to use to ingredients are all there. And a special container is made for Clear Improvement as we can see what's inside the tube.

-*-




What's so special about Clear Improvement? It's the active charcoal inside.

Charcoal

Known as the “black diamond”, Charcoal has been prized for its purifying properties dating back to the Ming Dynasty in 1486. It’s created from Bamboo Ash and valued for its excellent absorption abilities. When applied to skin, it acts like a magnet to draw out dirt, debris and impurities.

-*-



Nature's complexion clean-up crew clears the way for skin to act its best. Bamboo Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, White China Clay absorbs environmental toxins, Lecithin dissolves impurities. Skin looks clear, feels perfectly pure.

How to use:
1. Once a week, open pores with warm water
2. Apply mask, and allow to dry.
3. Rinse well. Ingredients: Water\Aqua\Eau; Myrtus Communis (Myrtle) Leaf Water , Kaolin , Bentonite , Butylene Glycol , Montmorillonite , Polysorbate 20 , Peg-100 Stearate , Charcoal Powder , Xanthan Gum , Lecithin , Peg-150 Distearate , Propylene Glycol Stearate , Sorbitan Laurate , Glycerin , Propylene Glycol Laurate , Simethicone , Caprylyl Glycol , Ethylhexylglycerin , Hexylene Glycol , Trisodium Edta , Dehydroacetic Acid , Phenoxyethanol

-*-



The thing about living in a tropical country where it is hot and humid (even when the rain season is here) is we sweat a lot and the pores tend to opened up due to the condition, hence we do attract dirt more than during dry or cold condition. That's why we need to take a shower twice a day and keeping ourselves clean more often.

Same goes with the face, it becomes oilier, stickier and for sure, attract more germs (hiks, cry out loud).

Look at the close up image of my face.

-*-



This is after cleansing, so there's no makeup whatsoever, the pores are visible since dirt are trapped, the nose especially, there's blackheads and acne on the side of the chin.

-*-



Above is the texture of the mask, not as dense nor thick like other charcoal mask I know, this is easier to distribute and dried up to making the skin feels pulled.

There's no sting, redness or allergic reaction to irritation, everything is pure comfort using Clear Improvement. I love it as sometime I feel concerned using products that cause tingling sensation on the skin.

-*-





I've been using the mask numerous time and always have a good time, I can use it with the other mask for acne (also from Origins) or alone all over my face for that 'detoxing' ability.

-*-




Use a brush for mask or your finger, it really doesn't matter.

The product has no distinct scent whatsoever, so it is perhaps unscented too, so the smell is pretty much like nothing (typical of charcoal).

Those with oily skin or acne prone or problems with smelly pores (due to being clogged) charcoal can cleanse everything well and absorb the smell too.

-*-




I love how they make this product as it is so gentle even to sensitive dry skin like mine, yet so effective even to my husband oily and acne prone skin. It's like my holy grail now, I can't never feel the same or looking for another product, I can see (ehm feel) why Origins become so famous (and pricey, hiks).

-*-




Enough with the feelings of using it, trust me it's so good, but you want to see result, right?! See the image below, the before after is so obvious.

-*-



Check out the pores on the upper cheeks and look at the amazing differences on my nose, the blackheads reduces by far and the skin appear in better mood thanks to the smaller pores. Like all the dirt have been sucked away by the mask, they are no longer have things that clogging. It is so good that the mask show significant improvement within single usage, this is why I keep using them and can't seem to get enough.

I'm using it on weekly basis to make the skin even more flawless. And of course, from cleaner and healthier skin comes better collaboration when using makeup.

-*-




A less problematic skin will always looks pretty.

Thank you so much Origins for the pores that shrunk, cleaned properly, and clearer complexion. This is for sure, highly recommended.

Juara Rose & Willowbark Mask and Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask

Hello lovelies,

some time ago I tried some of Juara Masks. As you probably see on their website, they have several different masks for different needs.

-*-

There are three masks here, one that helps oily to acne prone skin, one that add radiance and the other for hydrating boost.

-*-

I've review the one that add moisture and suitable for those with all skin type especially dry skin, here is the link: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2016/05/juara-avocado-banana-moisture-mask.html

-*-

This post is made for the other two and how you can creatively use the masks all in one go, why?

Since facial skin is probably a bit different one part to the other. Me for instance, I have a bit oils on the nose and acne prone on the area below the chin, especially during that 'special' time of the month. On the upper cheeks is really dry and sensitive while the other are in the normal area.

-*-

These masks are made accordingly and you can read the details are everything is written well on their packaging and website.

-*-

Each of these mask comes in a tube (full size) and a box that covered each of these tubes.

The box is simple and most of the details are here.

The tube is user friendly, so far I haven't experience any leakage or some sort.

Tumeric itsels has been known worldwide for it's amazing properties, from healing wounds, curing stomachache and even some says it's what made people in India so fertile. They consume Tumeric on daily basis. Indonesian also consume tumeric in a form of drinks, like a herbal drinks.

Men and women in Indonesia consuming jamu that has many with tumeric as the key ingredients.

-*-

As always, all the details are suffice, sign of an International quality products for sure.

And I love how they use natural ingredients and not using any known harmful chemical. Those bad chemicals has been famous in making the skin and overall health suffers. Still, most brand uses those ingredients, so the choice is in our own hand, what would you use?

-*-

Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask is thick, rich and like shown in the image below, it has that consistency like a smooth peanut butter.

The smell is of course, tumeric.

-*-

As it offer antioxidant and smaller pores, I can use it on almost any areas.

Combining with Avocado Banana Moisture Mask that I used on the upper cheeks only, here's how I use the masks.

-*-

Areas that I want to be less oily, acne prone are covered in Rose & Willowbark Mask. And the rest of the areas that are not covered in other masks, are the one that below the upper cheeks are using Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask. And on some days, I can add the areas of Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask and only use Rose & Willowbark Mask on the nose and chin.

Using the mask are never the same like before, you could have more than one type and use it with mapping of where it needed.

The result is as desired, the t's and chin are calmed, breakouts are far less, the upper cheek are happy with the moisture and the rest are covered in antioxidant. The Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask can be used all over on my skin, but still, those upper cheeks prefers Avocado Banana Moisture Mask.

-*-

Thank you so much Juara Indonesia, get yours online or at counters near you.

My favorite counter is at Glow Plaza Indonesia since they always smells like candlenut, so gooooood.

Zap Indonesia

Hello lovelies,

Last week bloggers and media are invited for the newly opened branch of Zap at Oria Hotel.

-*-

http://zapclinic.com/

For those who haven't heard or knew Zap may read it here:

ZAP Brand Promise

Sejak tahun 2009, ZAP memulai debut sebagai pionir spesialis perawatan menghilangkan bulu di tubuh secara permanen, cepat, aman, dan tanpa rasa sakit dengan menggunakan teknologi canggih yang sudah sangat populer di berbagai negara di seluruh dunia.

ZAP Experience

Dengan dukungan teknologi yang telah lulus memiliki sertifikasi Internasional (FDA maupun CE), terapis yang profesional, tempat yang nyaman, dan pelayanan yang bersahabat, ZAP telah dipercaya untuk melakukan hampir 300.000 prosedur treatment yang menjadikan ZAP sangat berpengalaman.

ZAP Service

Tidak hanya hair removal, Kini ZAP semakin memperluas pelayanan dengan mengembangkan treatment baru yaitu ZAP Photo Facial dan beberapa produk kecantikan yang sesuai dengan komitmen ZAP untuk memberikan pengalaman treatment kecantikan terbaik.

-*-

I personally has try many of Zap treatments since around 3-4 years ago. Start from their hair removal at Bellezza: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2012/10/my-first-zap-ing-in-bellezza.html
Pore & Wrinkle Reduction experience including the one at my tummy area: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2012/12/zaps-new-treatment.html
Eye Treatment: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2013/01/zap-eye-treatment.html
and Zap at Alam Sutera branch: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2013/02/zap-alam-sutra.html

-*-

Now, they are keep adding new treatments, products, and opening new branches here and there. It is a real life prove that Zap is doing pretty well on the market.

-*-

Upon arrival after registration, I immediately sign up for the Skin Rejuvenation treatment. A quick 15 minute beauty treatment that help boost collagen, even out skin tone, and reducing dark spots.

-*-

Before heading to the treatment room, I was having a quick tour to see a bit of everything. Aside from the front desk, there's another waiting room inside. Right in front of consultation room.

-*-

Comfy couch, TV, and calming relaxing ambiance.

-*-

Soon after, I was escorted to the treatment room in scenic green.

-*-

Arrays of medical properties, cleanser, lotions, cottons are set well on the rack. Between each customer are divided using a curtain, perhaps this room suitable for couple as well, just open the curtain and it become one bigger room.

-*-

The light is suffice in this room, so the doctors or therapist can perform under a well-lid room.

The face is cleaned, then a cool gel is applied before the doctor enters the room and using the same device for removing the hair.

It was fast, far from pain and suitable for anyone who need an instant rejuvenation so the skin appear fresher.

-*-

Since I was alone and it was quite a busy day, no extra staff available to help me took images, plus my eyes are closed during the treatment hence I can't share with you the images during the treatment, sorry.

But I can share the feeling during the treatment, it was super fast and felt like nothing. Forget about painful facials and unnecessary treatments when you can do a skin rejuvenation under 15 minutes. You can simply do it during lunch hour.

-*-

At the back side of the long corridor there's a beautiful changing room, complete with hair brush, cottons, and simple toiletries for anyone. Including lockers and shower room too. For those who are doing a hair removal all over their body perhaps can enjoy a cool shower after the treatment if they feel like it.

It was very convenient.

-*-

Soon after that I went on to the event, it was held on the restaurant 2 floors above Zap. So Zap is located at the basement or LG of Hotel Oria.

-*-

The hashtag of the day is #HappyZapLife, do check out on social medias to see the posts from everyone involved during the event.

-*-

Zap has a motto, "Discover Your Confidence", but I think beside from that Zap also in sync with their program where everyone can have beauty treatments in the quickest time without wasting their time and money. A lot of their treatments are affordable.

I do have several opinions though, since I've tried some of their treatments, I do think that the Photo Facials and Skin Rejuvenation worth trying.

While the hair removal is kinda personal, in terms of depends on your hormonal growth and pain tolerance. I'm not a fan of their hair removal treatment since it was kinda painful for me. Each blink is like a sharp ant bites that hurts. I prefer other place since I've tried almost every hair removal offered in the market. But again, it's personal, and I think I have zero tolerance against pain.

-*-

Zap believes in investing in your skin. Kinda like my philosophy too, like the best thing I can always flaunt is my skin condition. I love when people kept asking how old I really is, I'm really 35 and my skin looks 27. I do take care my skin on daily basis, using the right product and method too, at least I hope I do.

-*-

After a brief welcoming speech from the owner of Zap, a bit of testimonial from Harumi and Q&A's session with the doctor, we are went home with products to try.

Aside from their beauty treatments, Zap also offer some skincare. I was given skincare for acne prone skin. Anyone who knows me must have known that I do not have acne prone skin, never have, never will. I do insist on giving me other set, but the therapist said that the doctor recommend me the acne set.

I have a very dry skin and sensitive too, but I do not have acne. I do have once in a while, like one acne when I'm having my period, but that's it. The dryness are actually visible and a problem that need more attention than a single acne to be prescribed with the whole products for acne which of course are drying and made my skin condition even worse.

-*-

The cleanser are perfect for those with oily skin, it was drying and the skin feels tight afterwards. I'm not recommending the cleanser for anyone with dry skin like mine, I think it's too strong.

-*-

Do I let the products goes to waste? Never!
My husband has an oily skin and acne prone too, he's been using the products and guess what?! He enjoys using them! He says it was perfect, it doesn't make his skin dry nor oily, it made his skin in the 'right zone' .

All the creams, the morning and nights all feel comfortable on him. He said he has no complains whatsoever. I guess the products are truly made for acne skin prone and those who are oily too.

-*-

These are the texture of the facial washes.

The Brightening and Anti-Acne.

-*-

The creams are all look similar to me, the texture is a tad different one to another but has the similar consistency. The feeling is comfortable (according to my husband) and doesn't leave his skin greasy nor oily.

It is scentless and I can see that there's expired dates on each container.

These are similar to other 'obat dokter' in terms of packaging and products but the formula perhaps are made specially by Zap using their secret formula.

-*-

Aside from the underarm brightening cream which is creamy and only suitable for me to use it during night time (since during day time it made the deodorant becomes icky and just weird), it was mild and comfortable. But when used daily it feels a bit like whitening products that slowly exfoliating the skin and can lead to sensitivity. So I tend to use it around 2 times a week instead of on daily basis.

And this Lip Blush, another 'cute' product from Zap that made the lips appear softer and has that pink hue.

-*-

I've seen this kind of products on the market where it was made not just for lips. Perhaps it is similar.

The thing is, I like to see Zap keep adding new items to their collection and I hope they also keep adding treatments that are fast, effective, and affordable too. Aside from that, opening more branches so they become more approachable in so many areas.

Last but not least, do add a line for dry and sensitive skin like mine, so I can also try using your home care products.

-*-

Thank you so much Zap for the products, experience and making choices available for regular women like most of us to have beauty treatments that might had been the secret to celebrities and famous people all along.

See you again soon!!
