Is double-cleansing necessary in your daily skincare routine?

June 21, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

This is an interesting question for me, because I have been doing it for so many years, that it comes automatically. But recently, I came across an influential voice on social media, and glanced at a book about skincare, both of whom proposed that you don’t need to double-cleanse.

This, they say, is because double-cleansing dries out the skin, and this more so if you have dry skin.

I thought it was an interesting viewpoint, and while I’m no expert, I thought I’d share a quick view on this from the standpoint of someone who recognises that double-cleansing can be drying, but who still does it without much problems.

I attribute this to one thing – using the correct products.

The No. 1 de Chanel L’eau Rouge Fragrance Mist lets you wear flowers in your hair … and on your skin and everywhere

I think the beauty market is ripe for something new and exciting, and Chanel’s No. 1 range hopes to be that ‘something’. It’s a little capsule collection sitting within the greater Chanel beauty collection, and I’d shared a little overview earlier.

One of the items that caught my eye was the No. 1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge fragrance mist. It’s been a while since I’ve come across a new scent from Chanel, so it was interesting to see what they would come up with.

As it turns out, the L’Eau Rouge is quite easily, one of my favourite items from the No. 1 de Chanel collection! 😀

The triphase REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser does it all but still leaves me wanting

May 23, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

The REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser is one I’ve been wanting to try for the longest time. Ever since they launched it a few years ago in fact.

REN Skincare is one brand I used to love using, but I will admit that its fascination has palled somewhat for me in recent times. When I was first introduced to it over 10 years ago, it was fresh, exciting and I loved everything I tried. It had passion behind it.

I have noticed that over the years, and especially since it’s been bought over by Unilever, It has become a little unpredictable. Time was that I would love everything that they put out, because it just made sense. But I have to confess that their recent offerings have been rather bland, unexciting, and unfortunately for me, uninspiring.

Which brings me to the Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser.

Hollaback at Hollaface Hydra Concentrate Youth Serum for a nice hydration boost to skin!

We’ve seen a spate of local (Malaysian) skincare brands popping up in recent years, which I think is great. We seem to be slowly moving away from dodgy brands with dubious ingredients, to brands with actual, proper ingredients, which is positive growth.

I was recently offered the opportunity to try the Hollaface Hydra Concentrate Youth Serum, and it took me a while to dig into the brand before I decided to have a go.

I do that with brands I’m unfamiliar with. I dig into the website, the ingredients, the products they have, and I like to see what impression it leaves me with.

Hollaface left me with quite a positive impression, I must say. The brand itself is quite simple, with a small selection of products available. The focus seems to be on quality, with their products being simple yet packed with effective ingredients, with the buzzwords of today – hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin etc.

As I said, it’s nice to see a home-grown brand that is focused on proper ingredients 🙂
