안녕하세요 = an nyoung ha seh yo
Greetings from Korea
Welcome to the land of Seoul.
Haven't been here for a 1+ year. And the skincare shops in Myeongdong seems to double compare to last time I were here.
Scary!
Bought collagen eye mask and some cute little makeup products here. Dirt cheap!! as compare to Singapore.
It's really a land of skincare~ ❤

❤ Kimmie's Skincare
I ❤ my SK-II products alot. And I know that they don't come cheap either :(
Wonder how am I able to substain my skincare range after I quit my job to be a full-time mom next time? Hubby said he will still continue to buy for me though :P Beacause skin care was the first thing that comes to my mind if I quit. So sweet of him right?
Wanna share with you girls the wonderful SK-II products that I have been using since I were 20. Some of the products were added on throughout the years as my age is catching up with me. :)
Also, recently when people ask me how old I am. I would happily tell them that I am approaching 30s, which in fact I am in my mid 20s. 99.99% of them (with a shocking expression) said that I look like I am in my early 20s, so youthful, etc. That made me really really happy!! Ha.. Try it if you want people to say that you are younger than they think you are! Haha..
Ok ok.. I know you girls are dying to know what I have been using~ Here they are... in sequence to application.
If I am wearing sunblock with loose powder, or full makeup, I will use SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil. To me, the first step of cleansing is extremely important so I wouldn't neglect this step. As for my eyes (eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner, mascara, eyebrown powder) I will use Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover for Heavy Make-Up Sensitive Eyes.
Next, I will use SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser to remove the remaining residue. Double cleansing is important too~
To prep my skin for absorbing all the wonderful essence of SK-II, I use Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (toner) to remove the dead skincells on the surface of my skin. Applying this product helps to prevent future spots?
Here is the most important part of my skincare regimen - the infamous SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. Which many women call it their "Miracle Water".
Sometimes when I know my pimple is going to guest star on my skin, I will soak a piece of cotton pad with the Facial Treatment Essence and place it over the area for approximately 10 mins. Do it for 2 days and the guest starring pimple will disappear. Yeah!
If you got sunburnt, or suffer from cold rash, u can apply the above method too :)
The smell of Facial Treatment Essence can be quite a turn off for new user. But hey! It is one of the most important step to crystal clear skin, so bear with the smell~
Next, is my favourite product from SK-II. The SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C. I just cannot live without it!! And this smell just as bad as the Essence, maybe 10x more! :P But it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines around my eye area. My saviour!!
My favourite serum of all time. ❤ ❤ ❤
Sometimes, depending on my mood, I would add on another serum. SK-II Whitening Source Derm-Definition. I don't know if this is effective or not as I don't really see that my freckles/spots significantly to rave about this.
I used to use SK-II Advance Eye Treatment Film until the launch of SK-II Signs Eye Cream. Glad that they launch this anti-aging product just in time, as the signs of aging around my eyes starts to appear slowly since flying.
Signs Eye Cream is quite rich for some people, so use it only if you need it. If you want a oil-free product, you can try the former ;)
Finally, the moisturizer. :) I need to use anti-aging moisturizer as my skin is rather dry.
As for body, I use SK-II Body Designer. However, they don't sell this in Singapore anymore. I think not many people buy this product so P&G stop to carry this. Luckily, I stocked up a few bottle of this :) Till I finish this, I will source for other body products. I think I will go for Clarin's Body range as almost every woman who uses body products rave about it.
I don't use this product everyday.
To avoid cold rash, I will bring it along to winter countries to apply :) It helps to moisturize and keep cold rash at bay. It smells really great too! ❤
Makeup wise - I'm not using SK-II.
Maybe I shall start soon? As I'm quite interested in the SK-II Facial Treatment Cream Foundation. Saw it in the 女人我最大 magazine. Seems good..
I buy my products at the Nuance Watson Duty Free in Changi Airport. It's a lot of savings, sometimes even up to 50% of the retail prices. With the 10% staff discount, sometimes 20% off on top of the duty free price, it's really a steal!!
