#face republic

So tagal ko na di nakapag post dito sa tumblr. Dahil bored ako ngayon morning at di nawawala yung period cramps ko. Sobrang sakit. Napadpad ako sa notes ko at nakita ko na dapat ko pala iupdate ang aking skincare routine 😂 not so review post to. Pero sasabihin ko na din yung experience ko while using this products since eto na talaga yung regular na ginagamit ko. Ayaw ko na magpalit dahil hiyang naman na sakin. Usually kase pag di ako satisfied sa products eh madali ako magbago like i need to stop immediately kase may nagppop out na mga zits agad. So anyway. Ilalagay ko lang dito yung morning and night skin care routine ko then yung mga effect at yung mga nagustuhan ko sa products na to. Again, this is not a usual review. Gusto ko lahat ng products na to so wala akong masasabi na nega. Marame nako nagamit na products na inayawan ng balat ko since super sensitive, feeling mayaman ang balat hahahaha pero madali lang tlga ako magpimples since high school or elementary pa lang ata major problem ko na hndi tlga ko clear skin and one of the insecurities ko na to. Ngayon medyo nagkakaedad nako kumalma naman na sya at may mga nahahanap na ko na right products na di nagrereact ang maarte kong skin. So this is it...

Morning Skin Care

1. Facial wash - Face republic gold mineral cleanser 

Ilang days pa lang ako nagamit nito, at di pa naman ako nagbbreak out. Ganda nya sa face first gamit ko pa lang. Ang liwanag ng muka ko. Then pgkagising ko di ganun ka oily ang face. Compared sa mga dati kong facial wash, nag ooil ako pagkagising kaya naglalabasan agad pimples ko. Dito hindi tlga, tinry ko bumili nito kase hiyang ako sa sunscreen ng face republic, dito lang ako sa brand na to nahiyangan ng sunscreen kase sa lahat ng tnry ko promise, lahat talaga ng sunscreen eh nag pimples ako. Mamaya ko na lang idiscuss yung sunscreen. Maganda talaaga face republic medyo pricey lang siya pero worth it naman. Yung sachet muna binili ko na facial wash para matry kung hihiyang muna. P25 ko sya nabili sa watsons na inorder ko sa shoppee. Anyway, facial foam at sobrang lambot niya pag nilagay sa face, then yung amoy, for me medyo matapang kase di talaga ko mahilig sa masyadong sweet na amoy. Hahaha pero mabango sya. Di lang keri ng brain ko pag sobra kong naamoy. Pero i love this facial wash. 9/10 rate ko. At for sure bibili na ko ng malaki nito after ko maubos yung sachet.

2. Toner - Celeteque acne solutions 

Hiyang din ako sa Celeteque pero di kase ako dire diretso ng mga products nila noon, natry ko yung facial wash dati, then yung moisturizer pero inistop ko din. Idk hndi ko ata gusto yung feeling sa skin ko. Then parang binalikan ko lang tong toner kase tamad talaga ko gumamit ng facial wash nung panahon na yon hahahaha before ko pa madiscover si face republic gold mineral. Tubig lang talaga pinang hihilamos ko kase nagphinga muna ang face sa ibang products pansin ko naman na kumalma twing tubig lang then using this toner may nakita akong pagbabago. Sobrang stress ako sa work at sa buhay kaya tamad nako mag skin care nung time na wash ng tubig then this toner at ang ganda pala. With or without facial wash use this toner, ganda pa din ng effect. Nag stop din yung malalaking acne ko while using this. Well i think for pimples kase talaga sya acne solutions eh. Matagal din siya maubos kahit maliit lang. Rate ko dito is 8/10

3. Sunscreen - Face republic glow screen sun gel

Nung nagkakaedad nako, lalo na nasa 30s na, saka ko narealize na di nako pwede mawalan nito. At after ko gumamit ng matatapang ng products before like mga rejuv? Need talaga ang sunscreen to protect the skin. Pero I swear all my life ata naghanap ako ng perfect sa skin ko pero twing hahanap ako eh nagppimples tlga. Dame ko natry, parang may isang sunscreen ako dati na nagustuhan, skin fantasy ata na set yun? Kaso spf 30 lang ata kaya nakulangan ako at medyo malagkit talaga sya. One thing na nadiscover ko din na ayaw ng balat ko pag nagamit ng sunscreen eh hindi niya gusto ang physical sunscreen. Mas malagkit at makapal kase yun sa balat pero lam ko mas common yun at mas recommended at madali din ilagay. Pero ngayon nagamit ako nitong face republic which is chemical sunscreen kung di ako nagkakamali. My face loves it. Sobrang light niya ilagay. Gusto ko din yung amoy. Dati sachet lang binbili ko nito pero nung nagustuhan ko talaga bumili nako nung malaki kaht medyo mahal hahaha. Pero matagal ko sya gamitin. Ginagamit ko din sya kaht nasa loob lang ng bahay. Mataas din spf niya. I love everything about this product. 10/10 ang rate ko dito.

Evening skin care routine

1. Facial wash - face republic gold mineral cleanser 

Ayun pag gabi minsan ayoko maghilamos kase nawawala talaga antok ko. At mostly pag naghhilamos ako magdamag ako gising hahahaha . Kaya minsan skip ko to. Pero pag talagang antok at puro make up muka ko kelangan pa din maghilamos. So gamit ko pa din to. I'm going to love this all my life.

2. Toner - celeteque acne solutions 

Kagaya ng sinabi ko kanina, minsan toner nako agad pag gabi. Nawawala kase antok ko pero need ko pa din matanggal make up at kelangan pa din ma heal yung mga small bumps. So need pa din to.

3. Vit C serum - Quickfx recovery concentrate 

Eto! Hahaha matagal ko na binili tong serum na to. Pero dati di talaga ko marunong maglagay ng serum. Kahit anong serum 😂 kaya dami kong nasayang na mga brand noon. kaht pricey binibili ko, lalo na for scar treatment. Honestly, living with pimples all your life may mga maiiwan talagang sumpa at etong mga serum makakatulong somehow mag alis ng dark spots at even yung mga shallow na scars. So ayon nga, dati ko na binili tong quickfx at maganda tlga reviews nito, laging sold out nga. Pero nung ginamit ko. Kinaumagahan nagkkaron ako ng small bumps sa forehead at cheeks. Parang allergy? Laging gnun pag nagamit ako ng serum pero dko muna dinispatsya to hahahaha one time gumamit ako ng sachet na garnier which is yung pink. dahil maliit lang siya tinipid ko 😂 so onti lang nilagay ko. At tadaaa. Sa sobrang nipis nilagay ko parang inaabsorb ng skin ko. Kinaumagahan ganda ng effect. Ska ko na realized na mali pala ko maglagay dati 😂 kase sobrang kapal ko maglagay ng serum noon tapos dko kinakalat! Nakapatong lang siya sa muka ko 😂😂😂 kaya nag ooil lang siya lalong naiiritate skin ko. 🥲😂 So nung ginawa ko sa Quickfx yung paraan ng paglagay ko sa garnier. Ayun ang ganda ng effect kinabukasan. Walang small bumps. .

Ang nakaka frustrate sa small bumps sa paggamit ko ng mga serum eh ang tgal nya mawala! Ang dme maliliit sa noo. Kelangan ko pa magpaderma non para mawala. Pero buti na lang may gamot yung derma noon na nagpapafade sa small bumps na un pero nabalik pag nagamit ako ng makapal na serum. 😂 Ngayon never ko na na experience yon. . Thankful pa din kase di ko natapon tong quickfx. One of my fave to. 9/10 rate ko dito.

4. Spot treatment - acne clear oxecure powder mud

Eto ginagamit ko lang pag may active pimps talaga ko. Yung literal na malalaki kase ang bilis niya tlga makatuyo ng pimps. At wala ako maccompare na ibang spot treatment dito. Madami na din ako natry pero eto lang talaga nagustuhan ng balat ko when it comes to healing my galit na galit na pimples. Like literal na overnight pa lang may improvement na!!! Kaya di na talaga aki nagbbreak out ng sobrang dami kase nappigilan agad nito ..dati gumagamit ako ng gt bleaching cream pero ayoko ng feeling na nagbabalat ska namamaga, although effective din naman yon mas prefer ko tong oxecure sobrang light talaga. Muka lang siyang toothpaste pag nilagay hahahahah pero normally naman sa spot treatment ganyan malagkit din pero madali naman matanggal pag maghilamos ka sa umaga. Ahh yung gt bleaching pala diko na irreview pero ginagamit ko pa din sya pag may big day ako for example, night before lalagay ko sya. Kinaumagahan ganda ng effect, parang banat ang face. Kaso like any other rejuv gnun effect ng gt beaching magbabalat ka after ilang days which is not comfy. So anyway etong oxecure life saver ko din, 10/10 di ako nawawalan nito.

Ayan na lahat ng ginagamit ko ngayon. Di talaga regular kase may time na pag dame ko work di ko pwede basain mata ko, lalo na maghapon sa monitor.

Skincare Finds: Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum

The trend for my posts lately seems to be items that I have almost used up. 😅 At least you know what you can expect in my next #Empties post. 😁 Anyway, this is the serum that me and my sister have been using and loving for the past few weeks. I usually use Innisfree’s Green Tea Seed Serum. But ever since they rebranded (again!), I think they also changed the formula of some of their products.…

Beauty Finds: Full Bloom Sun Tint

Another item that I have been using for a while but never got the chance to posting about it. Oh well…better late than never. 😁 This little something was my sister’s originally. It was one of the items she brought with her to the US last July. When my Skin Tint Sun Shield from blk Cosmetics ran out, I decided to use this in its place. I usually don’t wear foundation on certain days. When I want a…

One of the most common pieces of advice when it comes to ageing backwards is to put on sunscreen. However, do you know that the type of skincare products you include in your skincare can affect your skin’s age as well? 

That is why experts say that one should start using anti-ageing products in their mid-twenties. How about those who already have wrinkles? Does that mean such products serves them no purpose? 

That is why in this review, I’m putting this anti-ageing serum, Face Republic’s Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum to the test against my 58-year-old mother’s wrinkles.

Face Republic Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum

Face Republic Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum is an anti-aging serum that aims to give you blooming supple skin. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improves the skin’s firmness.

The serum contains Idebenone, a powerful antioxidant, which helps strengthen the skin while protecting it from daily environmental damage.

Additionally, the serum is also packed with Vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, honey and propolis extract. These ingredients help moisturise one’s skin. 

It also has chamomile water that helps brighten the skin.

Upon application, the Face Republic Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum gives one a cooling sensation. It does not have a scent and it feels lightweight as well. 

The serum gets absorbed into the skin quickly, leaving one a smooth and subtle finish.

Face Republic Blooming Forever Nourishing Serum Review

I decided to let my 58-year-old mother try this since she is at the age where pesky wrinkles are haunting her. After using it for about a month, my mother noticed that her face looked more radiant. She also felt that her skin felt softer as well.

She enjoyed the chilly sensation when she spreads it across her skin, allowing it to be more hydrated as well. As for her wrinkles we have various results: the wrinkles that are embedded deep in her forehead still refused to budge but her laugh lines did look slightly better. 

All in all, it was a nice serum that is suitable for people of all ages and users of all skin types including sensitive skin. My mother enjoy applying this daily for it makes her feel refreshed and smooth.

One of the battles that men and women would face at some points of their lives are these pesky red dots call pimples. Some of us face these tiny spots monthly while others only see the remains of their footprints.

Regardless of how often we see them, we will tend to bump into these bumps at some point of our lives. That is why we need to send an army to get rid of them. This time, our army is from Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel.

Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel

Made with various acne treatment ingredients like Tea Tree Leaf, Salicylic Acid (BHA) and Centella Asiatica extract, the Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel is a translucent gel that helps get rid of your pimple.

This gel is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin and it is to be used only when you have a pesky tiny potential volcano on your face. It is a spot treatment that guaranteed to get rid of your pimple quickly.

Additionally, the calming spot oint gel helps protects and strengthens damaged skin. It brightens up the blemish spot as well.

How to Use Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel?

Do not use spot treatments like this too often for it may be overly drying for your skin. I would recommend you to use this only once or twice a day.

Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel Review

The Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel is a gel spot treatment that contains Tea Tree Leaf, Salicylic Acid and Centella Asiatica extract. The gel has a subtle tea tree oil scent to it. When applied on the skin, it glides onto the skin easily. It feels very smooth as well.

I like the tiny sprout that allows the gel to be squeezed out easily without causing a mess.

I tried the Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel on 3 different pimples. 2 of the smaller pimples that had head and a larger pimple that was about to grow into a nightmare.

The smaller pimples disappeared the next day as the gel helped halt its growth process. I could tell the salicylic acid in the product was working as the fresh sebum dried out overnight.

The whole process for the pimple to be eliminated from my face took 2 to 3 days depending on its “ripeness”. Do note that like every pimple shrivelling process, the area around it can be a little dry so refrain from scratching it or you may accidentally scratch it off like I did to one of them.

Aside from the success of the smaller pimples, I tried the gel on a larger pimple as well. That pimple did not have a head and it was getting ready to evolve into one of those acne that will sit on your face for weeks.

After application of the gel, the potential acne nightmare was resolved. The gel killed the bacteria and cleared the skin in a day.

All in all, this is the best spot gel that I’ve tried so far. It removes the smaller pimples in days and even prevented a large acne from forming. You can get the Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel on Shopee or Zalora.

Cruelty-Free Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin

One of the problems that I face every now and then is a pesky pimple popping up, reminding me that Aunt Flo is coming. This is especially prominent around my nose area, making me look like a red-nose reindeer. 

That’s why I tend to switch up my skincare during that time of the month so that I don’t have to be part of team Santa Claus. That’s when Face Republic’s cruelty-free cleanser for acne-prone skin comes into my skincare routine.

Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser

Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser is a gel-type cleanser that cleanses the skin without stripping your skin of its healthy oils. 

This cleanser has a low-pH formula that helps maintain the skin’s pH level. Maintaining the skin’s pH level is important because a change in the pH level can cause your skin to overproduce sebum or become excessively dry.

Thus, you need a cleanser like this that can gently wash off the impurities of the world without stripping your skin dry. Some of the impurities this cleanser remove is dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells. 

Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser Ingredients

Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser contains clean and natural acne-treating ingredients like: 

Salicylic Acid – a form of BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), relieve and prevent blemishes. It can also remove dead skin cells, exposing the skin underneath.

CICA 

Green Tea – antioxidant, improves skin’s elasticity, maintains firm and supple skin.

Tea Tree Extract 

These ingredients soothe the skin, calm your aggravating skin and control excess sebum. Additionally, your skin will not feel dry or irritated after cleansing. These calming and oil control ingredients makes it perfect for acne-prone skin and those with oily skin type.

This cleanser is also vegan-certified, have no added artificial fragrance and is paraben-free, oil-free and alcohol-free. It is also dermatological tested for acne treatment.

What does vegan-certified mean? 

The vegan certification guarantees that the product contains no animal ingredients or animal by-products. The product was also not tested on animals and there was no cross-contamination during manufacturing. 

Aside from its natural and clean ingredients, sustainability was incorporated into its packaging as well. The box was produced with FSC certified paper. They also used vegetable-based soy ink to print the words as well.

Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser Review

The Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser is suitable for acne-prone skin. As a person that becomes acne-prone during that time of the month, I decided to give it a go. 

After using the cleanser, my face felt squeaky clean and clear of excess sebum. I try to have it not directly contact my eye area for it did feel too strong for my delicate, dry skin there. However, if I foam it up with water first before circulating it around my skin, it felt fine. 

The cleanser have a minty, tea tree oil smell that is sure to wake you up. This cleanser is an acne care product so I would recommend this those with oily skin and acne-prone skin. 

All in all, I have not seen any breakout ever since I started using this cleanser.
