Review: Skincare: Kanebo Blanchir Whitening Clear Conditioner

August 2, 2007 Paris B 7 Comments

I was introduced to the concept of “double-moisturising” by the people at Kanebo. what it entails is 2 levels of moisturising i.e. through the clear conditioner and then regular moisturiser.

Kanebo Blanchir Clear Conditioner

After cleansing, your skin needs moisture to be reintroduced back into the skin and this is where the Clear Conditioner comes in. It might be more easily identified as a toner, but where a toner traditionally cleans off excess dirt and closes pores, the Clear Conditioner is designed to add in moisture to the skin.

The texture is a clear liquid, like water with a yellowish tint. You are recommended to saturate a cotton pad and then lightly pat it (not wipe it) all over your face. This patting motion “pushes” the clear conditioner into your skin and contributes to the hydrating of the skin. Wiping doesn’t have the same effect.

I have been trying this technique for a while and I find that to an extent, my skin does feel more moisturised after using this Clear Conditioner. Some days, I feel like I can just cleanse and use this conditioner and I’m done because my skin already feels sufficiently hydrated. That’s something I’ve never really experienced with any other traditional toners. I don’t follow instructions to saturate a cotton pad because I find it a bit of a waste. What I do is saturate part of the cotton pad, which I find is more than sufficient to cover the whole face.

This Blanchir Clear Conditioner can also be used as a mask. If you buy one of the paper masks from a beauty shop like Sasa, you can soak it in the Clear Conditioner and use the conditioner as a mask. Your skin feels very nice and hydrated after that.

It says “Whitening” but I have not experienced any whitening. My skin however, has been brightened by using this line.

The whole bottle retails for about RM145 for 200ml, if I recall correctly. It too can last about 3 months with regular day and night use.

Pros: Hydrating, brightening, can be used as a mask

Cons: Expensive

Edit: I found a link with the ingredients of this Clear Conditioner

Review: Skincare: Kanebo Blanchir Clay Wash Conditioner

August 1, 2007 Paris B 2 Comments

For double cleansing, Kanebo Blanchir offers the Clay Wash Conditioner as the second step after using the Make Off Conditioner.

 

Kanebo Blanchir Clay Wash Conditioner

This cleanser is a foaming cleanser and comes in a traditional packaging of a tube. The texture is that of a cream that lathers up into a foam. As it is a clay wash conditioner, it is more suitable for those with oily skin because it might be too drying if you have normal or normal-dry skin.

I have combination skin and if I use it by itself, then I do find my skin feeling tight after using it. If I use it after using the Make Off Conditioner or any cleansing oil, then the tight feeling isn’t there and the skin feels more comfortable. This reinforces my view that it is more suitable to people with oily skin.

I like how the cream lathers up to a soft foam. The foam really feels very soft, like cotton wool which I find nice. This means also that you only need very little at any one time. I did not have any problems nor did I have any reactions to this cleanser.

I don’t subscribe to any cleanser helping with “whitening” or “brightening” of the skin, as it is all washed away in the end so it doesn’t stay on your skin long enough to make a difference.

This cleanser retails for RM125 for a 125g tube. Pricey for something that could easily be replaced by any other cleanser, in my view. I do however, like the “soft” texture of the lather which I don’t find in the many other brands I’ve tried.

Pros: “soft” lather, cleans well

Cons: More suitable for oily skin, Expensive

Beauty Roundup: 1 August 2007

August 1, 2007 Paris B Leave a Comment

August heralds the start of the second half of the year and it also marks the change of makeup trends from bright Summery colours to darker more jewelled Fall tones. My 5 highlighted articles this fortnight as we turn into August are as follows:

  • The Bag Snob shows us Versace’s latest offering – a Fox Fur Bag that appears to be inspired by Sesame Street. Read it and laugh.
  • Paint Me Gorgeous reminded me of the usefulness of the Aspirin Mask for blemishes. It is cheap and efficient and leaves you with baby smooth skin – guaranteed!
  • The Beauty Addict highlighted a gorgeous collection from The Body Shop Hot Tropics. I absolutely love the design on the eyeshadow.
  • Raging Rouge showcased a mineral SPF by Peter Thomas Roth that is sunscreen in a powder form. Awesome idea! I need that!
  • Over at A Touch of Blusher, we read all about falsies and how they have caused problems for makeup companies because of their exaggerated mascara claims.

I hope you enjoyed this fortnight’s offerings. The next Beauty Roundup will be featured on 15 August 2007. If you would like to be featured on the Beauty Roundup project do drop me a line or leave a comment.

Till then, stay beautiful! – Paris B
