Nesti Dante

Recently my skin has become very dry and I tends to unintentionally scratches on my legs and body coz its itchy. So, I am on a search for better lotions or bath gel to ease this situation. One day, I found this mini store which sells soap with cute packaging.

Its "Nesti Dante" which is luxury homemade soup from Florence, Italy. I got a demo from the sales girl at the stall where she put on the soup on my hand and lathers gently. Surprisingly is that the bubbles developed are so soft and delicate, and after wash it leaves a pretty pleasant scent and skin feels clean without the normal soupy dryness that I normally get.

There is wide range of different flavour of soup with unique scent, like "Romantica", "Philosophia", "Lavanda", "Le Rose", "Bio Natura" etc. Its enrich with rich oil and functional substances in top quality, best of all it doesn't contain any synthetic surfactants which normally irritates sensitive skins. 

I chosen "Philosophia"range, as its focus of giving vitamin E and collagen to skin which I needed the most at this time. 

So far, I had tried the pink ones - "lift" for almost 1 week, skin feels cleans and not that drying compare when I am using other brands bath gel. Love it. The products prices ranges from RM38 to RM68. According to the sales girl, one soup normally can last for 2-3 months with twice daily use. Well, finger crossed, I hope my skin would improve after using this for longer period of time.

Shu Umera Make Up Remover

Since I discovered the magic of make up :), I had been looking for best make up remover to keep my skin clean and clear after long hours of wearing cosmetic product especially foundation and eye make up.

There are quite a number of products in market, it can come in the form of foam wash, milky/creamy wash, or remover oil etc. I particularly finds remover oil is the best suits for my combination of normal/dry skin type as it cleans and moisturises simultaneously.
When looking for such product, I am focusing on few things:

• how does the texture feels like when apply onto face - whether it has a smooth feeling when massage, how it felt when product leave staying for few minutes etc.
• how it emulsify when water is added - does it feel too watery or milky
• how the end results - does skin feel clean and moisturise, or tight and dry etc.

After years of trial and error, I have been switching from drugstore products from Biore, Hada Labo to famous make up brands like Bobbi Brown, Mac and Shu Umera. I discovered Shu Umera make up remover oil is the best product I had ever used. It has a smooth texture and easy to be absorb onto my face whenever I massage into my face after a long day. The smells is divine and not over powering. Skip feels a lot cleaner and refresh after wash as the name of the product suggested - Skin purifier.

This is actually my 3rd bottle of 450ml packaging. With daily use, one bottle like this can easily last me for 4 months or more which make this value for money as well. I bought this at Parkson Departmental Store - RM260.

I chosen "Anti/Oxi"type of cleansing oil as I wanted to also add some antioxidant effect during face cleansing. If this is use in longer period, it shall provide additional benefits of clearing your skin pigmentation and give your fairer complexion. A combo for me :)

Enjoy!
