Today's regime

This morning's regime (at home)
  1. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  2. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  3. Cellnique Pro sebum gel
  4. Clarins Protective Day Whitening Lotion SPF20
+ Clarins Defining Eye Lift

Remarks:
Putting too little Cellnique is ineffective but putting more makes my skin uncomfortably sticky. I think I'll return the bottle tomorrow.

Night regime
  1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
  2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  3. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  4. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
+ Thursday Plantation 100% tea tree oil to dab on blemishes and pimples.
+ Clarins Defining Eye Lift

Remarks:
Stopped using Cellnique because it made my skin too sticky. Will return the bottle some time this week to Sasa and switch to using Estee Lauder's Idealist.

Realized that the Body Shop's tea tree oil is just 15% oil and the rest are alcohol and etc. Not exactly great for the skin, so I switched to use my sister's Thursday Plantation 100% tea tree oil to dab onto my pimples.

Today's regime

This morning's regime (at home)
  1. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  2. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  3. Cellnique Pro sebum gel
  4. Clarins day lotion SPF20
+ Clarins Defining Eye Lift
+ The Body Shop tea tree oil to dab on blemishes and pimples.

Remarks:
The seaweed wash always leaves something on my skin which makes me think whether or not I'd rinsed properly.

Anyway after washing, some pimples(?) started to emerge from the crease at my nose. I already had this problem for a week or so. It probably began when I was putting on make-up. I'm not sure what the source of the problem is. All I can do is dab the tea tree oil on them and clean all my puffs and brushes with Fancl puff cleaner.

Night regime
  1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
  2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  3. Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator
  4. Kose Exfoliating Massage Gel
  5. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  6. Cellnique Pro sebum gel
  7. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
+ Thursday Plantation tea tree oil to dab on blemishes and pimples.
+ Clarins Defining Eye Lift

Remarks:
Skin feels sticky today. I reckon that it is due to Cellnique. I think I do have a little bit less blackheads than before. Not sure if I'm still putting too much on my face or should I go back to Sasa to ask for a refund. It has been 9 days and tomorrow will be the 10th.

Today's regime

This morning's regime
  1. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  2. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  3. Cellnique Pro sebum gel
  4. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
  5. Clarins UV Plus HP SPF40
+ Suisse Programme Anti-Aging Firming Eye Gel
+ The Body Shop tea tree oil to dab on blemishes and pimples.

Remarks:
Clarins sunblock was remarkably good :D
Easy to put on, absorbed and the skin doesn't feel sticky nor oily!


Night regime
  1. Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
  2. The Body Shop Seaweed deep cleansing facial wash
  3. Kose Sekkisei Lotion
  4. Cellnique Pro sebum gel
  5. Phytomer oligopur balance emulsion
+ The Body Shop tea tree oil to dab on blemishes and pimples.
+ Suisse Programme Anti-Aging Firming Eye Gel

Remarks:
Pimples have subsided but the blemishes are still there. Blackheads are still visible but I think a bit less than before. Not sure if I should credit the Cellnique or the Phytomer...

I see tiny tiny pimples (oil spots) at my eye bags now. I feel that the Suisse Programme eye gel is not working. Clarin's eye lift was much better :~(
Of course with insufficient sleep, even the best eye products won't be able to cure it.
Too bad I didn't purchase their eye lift during the 20% off sale...

I'm not sure if the seaweed wash is supposed to leave a "thin" veil of moisturizer or not. I just feel that I haven't washed them completely every time.
