SKINCARE FOR BEGINNERS

There are 4 main items that everyone must have; cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunblock/sunscreen. The products that I have listed here have been tested by me for a period of 1 year and above.

These products are widely available in pharmacy stores such as Guardian, Watsons and even online shopping platform which makes it easy to find.

Verdicts for the products mentioned:

1) Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Gel Wash

• Gentle cleanser that removes light makeup without stripping the skin. It helped me to keep my skin acne-free when I was in high school.

2) Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner

• This toner lives up to the brand's name. It is simply so simple. Nothing extra but helps to restore the skin into its normal pH balance after cleansing. This is a good toner as it is alcohol-free, hence good for sensitive skin. However, don't expect a drastic change after using this.

3) Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser

• A good ol' moisturiser that does not contain the bad ingredients (fragrance and drying alcohol), however it does contains silicone which helps to blur the skin texture upon application. It absorbs fast into the skin and leaves a demi-matte feel on the face. This is a light moisturiser so it may not be suitable for dry skin.

4) Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF 50+ Pa++++

• Everyone loves non-sticky sunblock and this is what the sunblock offers. It has a matte finish with slight white cast. The white cast does not bother me as I have a fair skin but it may create an ashy look to those with dark skin tone. It is also sweat resistant!
