I’ve had and used the Laneige Cream Skin Refiner for a while, and I realize that the hype has died down somewhat. It was all the rage a few months ago, if you remember. Or it might be because there was a campaign running haha!
That said however, I do understand the hype, because this is quite a nice product!
It is just very hard to understand what it exactly is, or how we could and should use it. So let me share my thoughts with you 🙂

My mainstay back then was the Vitamin E cream. It was light and comfortable for my skin. But when winter came around and the heating came on, I remember my skin feeling tight and dry. I wandered in one day to the nearest Body Shop store (conveniently located just around the corner from my student residence), and exiting with a jar of orange Carrot Cream.

But last year, I had my Hallelujah! moment! I found the sunscreen that I could use daily, that was comfortable and protected my skin, and that didn’t burn a hole in my wallet!
The snag was, it wasn’t available in Malaysia. Until now! 😀

But I avoid it because it firstly, isn’t a proper cleanse, and secondly, it doesn’t biodegrade, so it plays merry hell with the environment.

About 2 months ago, I went on a short holiday and flew a budget airline. To avoid unnecessary additional costs, we opted for just carry on luggage, so I had to strip my packing down to the bare minimum.
Being the skincare buff that I am, my skincare pouch usually takes up the most space and weight in my luggage, so I had to pare it down. Instead of bringing along liquids, I thought I’d try something different.
