Review: Skincare: Blue Silk Cream – no more dry skin!

March 4, 2008 Paris B 3 Comments

I was given a generous sample of the Blue Silk creme by the people from Blue Silk to try. Now, I know about the benefits of silk for the skin so I thought Blue Silk cream contained this very moisturising ingredient. However, it doesn’t.

The list of ingredients – plants oils and butter based – include aloe vera, jojoba, liquorice, primrose oil, shea butter, vitamin E, squalene and rosehip oil amongst others.

But I think I know where the silk in the name is derived from – after using this, your skin feels as smooth as silk! This might look like a promotional spiel but I’m being honest. I dislike disrupting my normal skincare routine with untested products, but I tested this on a whim and I found that I loved it!

The cream is very emollient and a little bit goes a very long way, so I only used a tiny bit dotted on my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin and then massaged it into the skin. It takes a little while for it to absorb and there is a slight cucumber smell to the light blue cream. I applied it at night and the next morning when I washed my face, I was very surprised to find that it felt super duper smooth.

I was using Kanebo Impress Emulsion as my night cream before I test ran this Blue Silk Cream for 2 weeks (and you can tell from my review of Impress that I love it). My skin loves the Impress Emulsion but it still did not feel as smooth and silky as it did after using Blue Silk. I’m seriously impressed! What impressed me further was the fact that my makeup seems to have stayed on better and goes on easier and after a week or so, my skin color looks more even – no redness, no patchiness.

On the website, it says that:

The cream makes generous use of pure vitamin E and licorice root extract which have been shown to gently reduce the effects & appearance of stretch marks, spots, uneven tone, pigmentation and severe conditions. An extract of the comfrey plant helps inhibit scaring from blemishes by stimulating the growth of healthy tissue.

I would like to see if it does. I have some pigmentation discolouration on my cheekbones and if the Blue Silk Cream helps, I’m sold! 😛

It is touted to be very good for those with dry skin. I don’t have dry skin but I have dry patches on my cheeks and I sleep in an air-conditioned room and work in an air-conditioned office everyday. So, waking up to plump and smooth skin and having plump and smooth skin throughout the day is pretty awesome to me. To test the claims of it being good for dry skin, I applied some to my elbows and my knee where the skin has been peeling lately. 2 days later, the flakies are gone and the skin feels smooth.

I let my sister try this cream too. She has dry but dehydrated skin and she was seriously impressed with it because she said it made her skin feel much smoother and more moisturised. She is in fact thinking of buying one tub herself.

As the cream feels quite rich on my skin, and since our weather is tropical, I only use it at night. I did not experience any breakouts from using the cream. Usually, if a product does not agree with me, I break out within 2 days of using it. So far, so good! According to the site, it is free of parabens, mineral oil, paraffin, has no artificial fragrance and is not tested on animals. I have stopped using it for a spell to see how my skin reacts, and so far, it has continued feeling smooth and moisturised so I continued with it.

I could rave on and on about this cream (and I am seriously loving it!) but why not head over to the Blue Silk website and read about it for yourself. A 50ml (1.75oz) tub costs US$32 (RM102.40). Blue Silk ships internationally and 1 glass tub costs US$13 US$12 flat rate in shipping costs. They also accept paypal and they offer a free sample to let you try it for a week to see how you like it. However, you have to pay for shipping, so it doesn’t work out that great a deal for us international users.

The shrink wrapped sealed tub of Blue Silk Cream comes wrapped up nicely in a plastic bag and tied with a silver ribbon. It is carefully packed into a sturdy box with styrofoam peanuts to prevent breakage. I can’t fault their packing skills.

Pros: Leaves skin feeling smooth as silk, good for dry skin

Cons: Bit heavy for tropical weather, found only online

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.

P/s yes I also need a haircut - badly 😅
