HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT: Troubled Skin

We recently came across this product, and we absolutely fell in love with it...

LJH's TEA TREE ESSENCE 90

It is a lightly-textured tea tree oil formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Made from 90% tea tree extract, LJH's Tea Tree Essence 90 clears, moisturises, and brightens troubled skin, targeting acne and delivering nutrients deeply for a hydrated, vibrant complexion. Key ingredients include sea buckthorn and centella asiatica, plants known to delay the skin maturation process and speed the healing of damaged tissue.

How To Use:

After cleansing your face, apply the Essence all over your face, and pat gently.

Another way to apply it is to cut up a cotton pad into small pieces, drop some of the essence onto the cotton pad, and place onto the acne, and leave for 20-30 minutes. Remove cotton pads. (suggested method by MUT member Vvianc)

Continue with serum/ampoule, followed by eye cream and then moisturiser.

Hubby has very sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful when trying out any new products on his skin. Luckily, this essence did not cause him any breakouts, and it also helped improve his skin too! He also complimented that the essence felt very smooth on his face and he liked it a lot! Just after 2 nights of using this essence, I noticed that the pimples on his face were less red and less obvious, his face was more hydrated, and he had a brighter complexion! I was really impressed with the product, so I went to search for it...and unfortunately, they didn't seem to be selling in Hong Kong!

Unlike other tea tree oils, this essence has no tea tree scent at all, so you won't walk around smelling like tea tree oil!

PROS:

Reduces the appearance of acne and dark spots

Brightens skin complexion

Hydrates and soothes troubled skin

Does not smell like tea tree oil

Very light and watery in texture

Absorbs very quickly into the skin

Feels very smooth on the skin

CONS:

Slightly expensive - around USD25 per 50ml bottle

This is the 50ml bottle - comes in a matte glass bottle with a dropper.

 We had never heard of this brand beforehand, nor do they sell them here in Hong Kong. I received a deluxe sample (20ml) in my first Memebox - Luckybox #5, and I'm so glad I didn't give it away! The full-size product is 50ml, and I've already purchased 2 extra bottles of them from the qoo10.hk website.

We really love this product, and it has become our Holy Grail Product for troubled skin!

REVIEW: MEMEBOX LUCKYBOX #5

Sorry it took me so long to review the products inside my first Memebox:

Luckybox #5

This was the first Memebox that I had ordered, and since receiving it, I had ordered over 10 more boxes...that's how good it was!!!

If you like surprises too, you can visit the MEMEBOX WEBSITE for more information!!! They have a lot of discounts on at the moment!!!

REVIEW: SKINMISO PORE BEAUTY NOSE PACK

Blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores all seem to be a major concern for many people, especially with the hot weather and bad pollution!!!

I recently came across this Pore Beauty Nose Pack by Skinmiso (it was inside my Memebox Superbox #11: Before Special Day), and it really is OUR HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT!!! It is a 3-step pore care for those who are struggling with excess sebum and blackheads around the nose.

Inside The Box:

4 x Step 1 Mask: Blackhead & Whitehead Removal Mask

4 x Step 2 Mask : Pore Tightening & Soothing Mask

1 x Step 3: Silky Essence 15ml

Unlike other nose packs, this is not the type that sticks onto your nose and you have to painfully peel off afterwards!

How To Use:

Use on a cleansed face.

Place the Step 1 Mask onto your nose and wait for 10-15 minutes. The mask will give you a cool and refreshing sensation, and it will open up your pores to make the impurities come out easier.
The Step 1 Mask is enriched with various plant extracts to help open up pores :D

Can you see how it is big enough to even fit on a man's nose?! That's awesome!

Remove the Step 1 Mask after 10-15 minutes, and you will see the excess sebum and blackheads gushing out of the enlarged pores!

I was really shocked to see how much of the excess sebum/blackheads that had already floated to the surface of the skin!!!

Gently remove the visible blackheads, whiteheads, or any other impurities clogging your pores using a blackhead extractor. Do the probing in quick motions and avoid harsh dragging or scraping across the skin.

Hubby wasn't very pleased with this step, as it was quite painful, but it wasn't as bad when I changed to use my blackhead extractor instead of his one - the shape matters! The blackheads were also very easy to extract, as they had all floated to the surface of the skin after applying the Step 1 Mask!

Place the Step 2 Nose Mask onto your nose area as you did with the first mask. This Mask will help soothe and tighten up your already enlarged pores. Wait for another 10-15 minutes.
The Step 2 Mask is made from witch hazel extracts, and helps to tighten, soothe, and moisturise :D

Remove the Mask after 10-15 minutes, and you will see that the pores are tightened already! Massage in the remaining essence into the nose, then rub a tiny bit of the Silky Essence over your nose for a silky-matte finish!
The Silky Essence will finish off the process by controlling sebum and oil levels of your skin!

It took us around 30 minutes to finish using the 3-step process, and by the time we finished, hubby was already feeling very sleepy! The good news is, he has a cleaner nose now :D

Before using the pack, I also made hubby use the Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel by Laneige, so that it would "soften" his skin and make the pore extracting process easier. I also applied toner to his face before applying the Silky Essence, then I applied his usual essence, serum, and lotion to his face afterwards.

We were very pleased with this product, and we are thinking of repurchasing it already!!! I did a search online, and saw them retailing for approx. US$20.99 for a 10-week pack (I was only give a 4-week pack inside my Memebox).

I recently purchased a 10-week pack from Wishtrend, which also came with a pore extractor (it came in a container too), in which the shape is awesome and it really doesn't hurt as much, for a price of US$29.58...I got free shipping as well as US$9 off using a discount coupon!!
