WINTER MASK DUO

I feel like winter time calls for pamper session the most. Simply because the weather is pretty dry and cold, so our skin tend to feel dehydrated and flakey. Mind you, I have oily skin but whenever it is winter time, I do get dry patches especially around my nose and under eye area. I also suffer from frequent breakout when my skin gets too dehydrated which is quite odd. Took me some time to find products that I can use to help clear my skin as well as add moisture back into my skin. 

Mask of Magnaminty from LUSH is my favorite face mask for clearing breakouts and unclogged pores. I would commend this product as a 2 in 1 face mask. It has grounded aduki beans and primrose seeds as an exfoliant to help remove a layer of dead skin cells. Also the peppermint oil helps in making my skin feeling fresh and revived. I like to leave it on for 10minutes (concentrating on areas where I break out the most), pat with warm water to start exfoliating and then fully rinse. It does help with demising small acne bumps in my face also reduce the swelling of bigger acne. 

VITAMIN E Sink-In Moisture Mask from The Body Shop is the one I resort to when my skin feels tight and dehydrated. I use it as an overnight moisture mask to really sink in my skin leaving it soft and supple the next day! The mask has a creamy jell like texture which helps it sip into the skin fast without that greasy feeling. Sometimes I would apply it and leave it for 10minutes, wipe with warm flannel before applying makeup. It makes the makeup application smooth. 

These two face masks are my go-to skin savior this winter! It does wonders to my skin, making it look plump and brighter!

MINTY LUSH HAUL

Little shopping spree from LUSH after a long day? Yes please! It's been months since the last time I bought something from Lush! I remember the first ever product I bought was the Karma Kream body lotion which landed a spot in my list of all time favorite moisturizers (read my post here). Another two favorite products are the Mask of Magnaminty (thanks to Nicole Guerriero from Youtube) and the Herbalism facial cleanser. Both of the products worked great on my oily skin and it did help clear out my skin. Anyway, my main reason for my LUSH trip was to find a shampoo that works great for dry and irritated scalp. Ofcourse, I came out with other things! 

Winter Lips Savior

Winter season can be a bit of a pain especially when it comes to your skin. It sucks all the moisture out of your body and we can only lessen it by using products that works for our skin. In my case, my main concern is always dried lips. Not only it chaps but it can cause bleeding and premature wrinkles around the lip area. Not to mention the embarrassing feeling she your boyfriend is trying to kiss you with them rough lips! It's a no no! To keep your lips feeling smooth and luscious, try a lip scrub. My favorite one is from Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub and I scrub my lips every other night to get rid of dead skin cells and also it makes your lips feel soft and plumper. An alternative if you are on a budget is a toothbrush! It does a good job as using a fancy lip scrub and also it's a great beauty hack everyone can use! After scrubbing, I like to apply an ointment to moisturize my lips and I use the Lucas Pawpaw Ointment (this stuff is amazing!).This ointment comes in handy as you can use this not only for your chapped lips, but also for dry patches around your skin/body, mosquito bites, and rash. At night time, I normally just use the lip scrub and the ointment but in the morning when I get ready for my day I like to use lipgloss after scrubbing instead of lipstick. For me, it gives my lips extra moisture and also a bit of colour for a healthy natural glow. I swap between a nude lipgloss and a rosy ones depending on the look I want to achieve.
