Beauty Tips

In this 2020 where the technology is advancing day by day, we have seen and could not unseen all those pretty and handsome people all over the internet. This might as well trigger some of us to make some efforts to become good looking. So here’s some useful tips that I’ve arranged for everyone!



About Facewash
- If you do not think your face is very dirty when you stay home or did not went to bad air condition places, it is ok to wash your face with clean water. Deep cleanser is less recommended to use for face wash every day.

- Do not use non-facial purpose products on your face. Skin on face is more sensitive than other skin on body, so using non-facial purpose products will damage your skin on face.

- Use face cleanser once or twice a day will be enough. It is not necessary to wash your face too often in a day as it will exhaust the skin’s surface.

About Your Hand
- Do not use your hand to pop your pimples! Your hand contains bacterial that will be harmful to your face.

- Choose suitable tools and ways to clean your pimples, acnes etc.

- Build up the habits of not touching your face with your hand may help to reduce the growth of acne and pimples.

About Skincare Products
- First you must know your type of skin (oily, normal, dry, mix oily, mix dry, sensitive) and here’s how:
After you wash your face, do not put on any products, wait for 30 minutes and observe your skin condition. Observe the oil production on your T area (forehead and nose) and cheek area.





Any products applied on skin have it’s quantity, we have to take note of how much we are applying them on skin to optimize the benefits of the products to the skin. We might think that a product is good and wanted to apply as much as possible on skin, however, our skin will consume as it needed, applying too much may become a burden for our skin.

It is recommended to refer to a doctor if you think your skin condition is bad, or if you have sensitive skin to receive professional advice.

About the Use of Skin Care Products
Overlay usage of skincare products: “use Brand A toner, then use Brand B serum, then Brand C moisturizer.”
Overlaying products may achieve better outcome. Since there will be all sorts of chemical reactions, we should pay attention to the ingredients of the products to avoid the chemicals fighting each other or could not perform well due to the wrong combination.

Here listed a few of the chemicals pairing that will not bring benefits to the skin:

  • 深层清洁deep cleanse +去角质 exfoliate
  • 酒精 Alcohol +蛋白质 protein
  • 铜肽 GHK-Cu(copper tripeptide) + Vitamin C (VC)
  • 卡波姆Carbomer +芦荟胶 aloe vera
  • 烟酰胺 niacinamide + 酸类 acid
  • 烟酰胺 niacinamide  + Vitamin C
  • 水杨酸 salicylic acid +果酸 alpha hydroxy acid AHA
  • A Retinol  + 酸类 acid
  • 酸类 acid + 多肽 peptide
^ kindly look up on the internet for detailed information

- flip to the ingredients list of the products and have a count, if the number of ingredients exceed 20, the product is assumed to be complicated and it might affect the active ingredients. Also, it is critical to take note of these complicated products overlaying with each other as the ingredients will be reacting to one another.

- some special ingredients in skin care such as serum, vitamin C and etc that are kept in dark brown or yellowish bottles should be consumed as soon as possible (following the instructions as well). These kinds of special ingredients needed our extra attention towards the usage of products as some can be oxidize over time, or light sensitive products etc.

Rational in Purchasing Skin Care Products
- Skin care products vary from price to price with their reasons. The price of a product is positioned after determining the concentration of the ingredients, how pure is it, the size of particles, the stability of the bonding between chemicals etc which only the professionals will know how to differentiate them. Hence, we as the non-professionals have to choose wisely and choose the best for ourselves. Choose affordable products and avoid gaining petty advantages (well we do love low prices but if the price doesn’t make sense to you then it’s a NO) since you are applying them onto your face!  If you want to purchase something priced quite high, try to get the samples of the products to test out before purchasing the actual product.  

About the Trend
I would not recommend people to follow the trend as everyone’s skin type and skin condition are different. You may consider more on those in trend and do research on them instead of just blindly following all others on the internet. All on the internet can be your references but not your absolute way. Try to discover your own skincare routine that best suits your skin. Also, there are trends of using daily products as substitution, please do more research before you act to avoid hurting your skin!

About Lifestyle
The best and safest way to be pretty is the natural way with your own metabolism. Once your metabolism is good then you will be prettier and healthier.
Metabolism is what keeps the nutrients you ate in your body and detox to keep your body healthy. A good metabolism can enhance your blood circulation, helping you to have slim body, enhance your beauty, enhance your immune system, energize you and many more!

- Sleep early: 11pm to 2am is the golden time for detox and metabolism, it is also known as the “beauty sleep”. Sleeping at this hour also benefits you in reducing your dark panda eyes.

- Keep body hydrated: we need around 6~8 cups of water every day. Not to drink all 8 cups in once, a cup at once is enough. Warm water preferable.

- Diet: Eat nutritious food, eat on time, eat without distractions and chew fully before swallowing the food will help to enhance the absorption of the nutrients in our body. What you eat is what you get. Lesser spicy food to reduce acne and you may look up for some nutritious drinks that can help you brighten up your skin. (flower tea, fruit tea etc.)

- Keep your bed clean: how long you sleep on your bed is exact the same amount of time your face get in contact with your pillow. Hence we have to keep at least our pillow clean to keep our face clean as well. The bacterial and dust on the pillow may also trigger sensitivity based on skin’s condition.

- Face towel: it’s best to have two towel, one for body and one for face. Also to keep them clean always.

- Breathing: You may not pay attention to how you breath. Here I would like to let you know that nose breathing (left image outcome) and mouth breathing (right image outcome) have impact on your facial growth!

- The confident you is the pretties you! : have faith in yourself, be confident. Even though you don’t look as pretty as those celebrities, do not scold yourself or unlove yourself! At least have faith that you are prettier than the you yesterday, look into the mirror and smile, the you today look good.

Finally, becoming pretty is not something that can be done in one or two days. Give some time to your body to improve. Make some efforts and be consistence. One day you will come to realise that every small effort you made day by day will reward you.


Thank you for reading! Have a nice day 💖
