Innisfree Perfect Repair Anti-ageing Serum

This is annoying!! Not only my hair, but my skin type suddenly changes from normal-oily to normal-dry, thanks to my almost 24/7 exposure to air conditioner! And furthermore whether it's oily or dry, I still have that acne-prone skin. Theoretically, the drier your skin becomes the more oil it produces and easier to get acnes also dry skin becomes very sensitive especially to those with atophy history like me. So yes, my face is quite dry, full of acnes & extremely sensitive. A week ago, I tried my mom's Pond's Gold Radiance Day Cream & wore it religiously for 3 days. Suddenly, I've had this dermatitis on my right cheek with 2 centimetres wide of redness, followed by itchiness & dryness until it flakes. Deffo ugly! I don't have time to go to my dermatologist so I just let it be. I only wear my Garnier tinted moisturizer with SPF (I forget how much is the SPF) whenever I'm inside or outside the house & wash my face with Skinfood Honey & Black tea foam cleanser. It doesn't help much but it doesn't worsen my skin condition. I admit, I give up until I can find a way to see my dermatologist again.

Then I suddenly found this little cute purple sachet of Innisfree Perfect Repair anti-ageing serum & use it on my dry areas. I got it as a sample from shopping at www.chic-princessa.com

It has a light-weight creamy texture ( unlike my previous experience with L'Oreal Dermagenesis Serum Concentrate which is more watery ), slight natural flowery scent (which is a pleasant for me) & it absorbs pretty well on my skin, doesn't left a greasy feel.

I only used small amount of it, just the tip of my finger & surprisingly, I can feel it really helps to moisture my skin! I applied it all over my face especially on my dermatitis & my skin feels renew again like a baby. It's so smooth, so plump & it adds radiance to my skin.

6 hours after that, my skin still felt nice. I'm quite surprised of how it can maintain the moisture of my skin especially when I'm exposed to air conditioners & heat. After I washed my face, my skin condition still feels as nice as before. Maybe it does improve my skin condition. Looking forward to purchase the full size of it, but I gotta save my money first because it's so damn expensive! T_T

Lakme Teknia Drops

Again, another suggestion from Andre, this is Lakme Teknia Drops. A surprisingly light-weighted fluid ( not cream ) to moisture your hair strands.

Oh yeah, thx to my bf who prefers me with straight hair, I broke my promise not to straighten my hair again. But whatever I feel now all I can do is wait for my hair to grow long enough so I can style it again the way I want.

The problem with straight hair is you always find your hair err.. strange. They have no vitality and mostly the enhance your round face feature so your face looks bigger than the actual size. So that's why after I wash my hair with shampoo & conditioner ( I currently use Rejoice's Fruity Smooth combos but I'm still searching for the better ones ) I always blow-dry my hair with my head down so I can add some level to the hair near the roots.

Next thing to take care of is my over-straight hair. I'm not saying Andre's job's not good, in fact his method didn't do much damage to my hair compared to my previous experience in another salon, but I just don't like to see this super-straight tips of my hair. So I use a 1,5 cm barrel-shaped hair curler to help the tips of my hair curl in. Therefore, Lakme's Teknia Drops can protect my hair from the danger of the heat. Always apply it twice, 4-6 drops each turn : 1. Before I blow-dry my hair, 2. Before I curl my hair.

The texture is light, it's colourless with slight strawberry-like smell ( which is better then Goldwell's Kerasilk ) , absorbs to you hair faster & it doesn't make your hair greasy. I just love it.

It's cheaper than Goldwell's Kerasilk. Maybe around Rp 130.000,00 if I'm not mistaken. It's been 3 months since I purchased it and I still have some drops left for 2 weeks. IMO, it's worth repurchasing :)
