When we are born, our skin automatically makes all the moisturizer it needed to be soft and healthy by creating sebum (combination of oil and waxes). As we age, skin’s natural moisturizing abilities begin to slow, leading to imbalance, causes unable to retain water and create lipids.

More often than not, people often thought that one only need moisturiser when their skin type is dry and people with oily skin can skip it totally. The fact is everyone needs to protect their skin from moisture loss just like our body. You can have oily skin but still lack water. The sun can both dehydrate and damage the skin, causing premature aging. Hence selecting the right moisturiser texture will help supplement your skin’s need.

Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus skin care range is a hydrating range and it uses pure Roses to hydrate, replenish and protect your skin, leaving it looking fresh, dewy and supply to meet the needs of people with dry and dehydrated skin. It creates occlusive layer on the skin that replaces water and helps retain it. 

Every product in this range is rich in Jurlique unique Rose Complex. This sensuous blend of heritage Rose extracts from their biodynamic†Jurlique Farm, nourishing Rose Hip Oil, and Signature Rose Aroma leaves skin perfectly hydrated and smooth, with a youthful-looking, luminous glow. 

Key ingredients 

• Rose Complex: Made of biodynamic†Rose extract, Rose Hip Oil and their Signature Rose Aroma, to hydrate, enrich and protect skin as it balances and calms the senses. 

• Antioxidant complex: With extracts of Green Tea Leaf, Grape Seed and Turmeric, to sooth and protect the skin, and minimise the signs of ageing How to use : Morning and/or night apply to cleansed skin.

Secrets how to keep skin healthy and glowing during my winter holiday in Harbin.

Hey everyone! There is another few days before Happy Chinese New Year ends. Gong xi gong xi hope you are blessed with abundance of wealth, health and happiness.

Sorry been missing from my blog for a while as I just got back from travelling weeks just before CNY not long ago. I finally managed to visit the famous Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in Harbin, China. 

If you read before, Harbin temperature during winter season is really harsh and it is about -18 to -20 Celsius during the day time ande temperature dropped below -30 Celsius and more at night. And during my last year backpacker trip to Hokkaido, the winter was below -10 Celsius already quite unbearable where my skin & lips was peeling.

Knowing that CNY is just around after I'm back from Harbin, I knew my skin cannot take risk... cause want to look pretty pretty during CNY ma :) Hence finding the right skincare range to use in winter is really important as your skin is exposed to extreme coldness and dryness . You want to avoid at all cost skin from becoming very dry, peeling, cracking and bleeding especially on your face area. 

 I'm glad to tell you that I found the right skincare not only to suitable to use in Malaysia summer season but in Harbin winter season! Kid you not...not only my skin survive -30 Celsius but it was behaving really well during my trip and I wanted to share you in details! 

This is my winter skincare regime & in fact I continue using when I'm back in Malaysia. So basically this Jurlique skincare range that are able to hydrate & protect my skin from summer to winter :)

Jurlique Soothing Foaming Cleanser (RM150/200ml)

A soothing foaming cleanser for sensitive skin that lifts away surface impurities to leave the complexion fresh and clean. It helps to re-balance skin's sensitivity, hydrate and dryness leaving skin clean and comfortable. This is suitable for people with sensitive skin.

I can smell calming lavendar scent when you lather up the cleanser with water. It's a milky foam that gently cleans my skin leaving it soft and hydrated. 

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist (RM147/100ml)

This can work as a hydrating mist and toner. It's suitable for normal to combination skin that able to restore and hydrates the complexion. 

This is one of my favourite product from Jurlique because it has my favourite  rose scent that is very lovely. Plus my skin immediately feel soft & supple after few spray on the skin, I would recommend you to warm your palm before pat the product into the skin for better absorption. For convenient, I pour some into my travel size container and carry them around handbag so that I can use to refresh my face anytime I want. This also can work as makeup setting spray.

Jurlique Activating Water Essence (150ml/RM265)

This works like a pre-essence product where we need to apply after tone before serum. This product will prepare the skin to fully absorb the benefits of your serum and moisturiser. Pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and warm and gently press over your face, neck and decolletage for better absorption. Interestingly this product key ingredient is marshmallow root as it would be able to provide intensive hydrating, softening and balancing properties to our skin. 

Love how it has really light herbal botanical scent with notes of lavender, geranium, and sandalwood. Lovely combination of scent! The texture of this product is like water but it works magically to make my skin feel soft and hydrated preparing my skin for next step. 

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum (30ml/RM288 or 100ml/RM592)

This is youth defence serum that promise to help reduce the appearance of first sign of aging i.e fine lines, improve elasticity, restore radiance and increase hydration whilst protecting the skin from environmental aggressors. 

Key Ingredients: 

- Wu-Zhu-Yu (Evodia Rutaecarpa) : Improve micro-circulation within epidermis.

- Peach Leaf Extract : Contributes to the skin’s capacity to protect itself against future environmental damage. 

This serum is a savior as it keeps my skin not only hydrated by glowing under -30 Celsius weather! I just use 1-2 pumps onto fingertips and press gently over face, neck and decolletage and the gel serum immediately absorb into my skin nincely. I love the floral scent and how the serum does a great job keeping my skin hydrated and comfortable in Harbin although the air is dry and cold. It leaves my skin visibly glowing, hydrated and keeping my fine lines at bay. Absolute love this product and I'm highly recommending this! 

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Antioxidant Face Oil (RM241/50ml)

This treatment oil is designed to smooth fine lines, restore luminosity and deeply moisturise. A potent proprietary blend of extracts helps protect against environmental aggressors and aid in skin wellness. Skin feels smooth, hydrated and looks even toned and radiant.

This oil is quite rich and would be suitable to use in the day & night after serum in winter. Just take 2-3 drops and gently press onto face, neck and decolletage until absorbed for additional moisturiser protection. And in summer or other seasons, I would recommend you to use this product during your night skincare regime and this would be extremely be suitable for people sleeping in air condition room. If you have extremely dry skin, you can use in the morning too but maybe 1-2 drops would be sufficient due to our humid weather.

Jurlique Calendula Redness Soothing Moisturising Cream (RM150/40ml or RM288/100ml) 

A rich moisturising cream for sensitive skin that deeply hydrates and soothes whilst protecting skin from environmental aggressors.

During winter our skin will sometimes turn to become sensitive hence I got moisturer from sensitive range to use as well. This soothing product helps to heal and restore damaged or scarred skin. Although the product texture is cream but it's light and non-greasy so it's okay to be for people with oily skin I believe.

I was a bit hesitate to use natural skincare brand in winter because I have the perception natural/organic skincare brand might be less hydrating and less efficient but Jurlique proved me wrong.

And after a month  of using the product (in Harbin & Malaysia), I can see my skin are properly hydrated and in fact skin was glowing! The pores & fine line are noticeable smaller and faded out. The fact that Jurlique skincare especially the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum was able to perform during Malaysia hot weather to Harbin cold weather truly impressed me. Unlike previous winter trip I always came home to Malaysia with nose area skin peeling (cos the skincare was not hydrating enough) and sometimes I have to swap to another skincare range in Malaysia (it's too rich for Malaysian weather)

I also went  to try Jurlique Water Essence Skin Activating Facial Treatment a week before CNY. I'm super impressive with the facial because it really condition, hydrate and revitalise my skin.. 

I can see the GLOW immediately after facial 😍😍😍 unbelievable and this is a #nofilter #nomakeup picture!! 

Good news is there is a 50% for first trial (Normal price RM430 for 1h45m facial)... Pls go try and experience is relaxing yet effective facial :)

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Limited Edition Inspired by Suminagashi

 

In this coming Christmas season, SK-II is revealing limited edition of Facial Treatment Essence bottle beautifully crafted design inspired by traditional Japanese marbling, Suminagashi, or “floating ink” in Japanese. I love the artsy designed on the bottle! 

The art of Suminagashi was chosen for its powerful philosophy which states that there is no wrong drop; each dot and swirl of colour come together to create a unique art piece.

Suminagashi (墨 流 し) or "floating ink" is the process of marbling plain paper with water and ink to transform it into something vibrant and colorful. And I felt this Suminagashi is pretty similar to Turkish marbling.

Our team really had fun expressing our art sense through Suminagashi art and our masterpiece was selected by Suminagashi Master Shuhei Goto from Japan to be the piece of art that day :P  

The art of Suminagasi serves as a reminder of one’s power to paint their own path, in the same way that the simple ink and water of Suminagashi art can be transformed into a beautiful masterpiece, one drop at a time.

The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Limited Edition is available in red, blue and green Suminagashi-inspired designs for a limited time only at all SK-II counters across Malaysia and is only sold as part of the festive sets and not available as individual bottles.

Tips to use : Besides using SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (pour a 50 cent size on cotton pad) to keep the skin moisture, it can be used as base just before applying makeup and mask to replenish lost moisture. 

Below are some of the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Limited Edition sets available now in all SK-II counters in Malaysia, this would be the perfect choice for Christmas gift for those who are using SK-II products :) Afterall it's less than a month from Christmas! 11

 SK-II Glowing Aura Set - RM1,175

Review of Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo range after 4 weeks!

It’s every women dream to look beautiful.

Be it your dream V-shape face, big eyes, sharp nose, luscious lips or attractive hair, I’m sure all of us yearn to look younger than our age. Well perhaps that’s the reason they said a woman’s age is a secret. And often when someone compliment us that “Hey you look younger than your age, what’s your secret?”. Well you can’t help but show a beaming smile to the person and say “Awww.... thank you, I shall buy you a meal!” Sounds familiar? 

I’m not sure about you but I stand inches away from the mirror to closely examine my face every now and then. Deep inside I was asking myself, where does this pigmentation, dark spots or wrinkles come from? Well I have tried all my life to take care of my skin so that I don’t age too fast. After all, the first thing a person sees when they meet you is your face (i.e skin). I’m so thankful for the creator of makeup because it makes me looks beautiful. There is a lot of things that can be concealed under makeup... Dark spots, pigmentation, uneven skin tones, dark eye circles etc, but do you realise you can never hide your wrinkles or lines? And wrinkles are a tell-tale sign of aging.

With the amount of pollution we face today, we are actually guilty of our skin’s aging process. We cannot stop the aging process but we can slow it down a little bit for sure. The natural aging process is called intrinsic aging, while the aging process caused by external factors is called extrinsic aging. Both show up visibly with the same results, but extrinsic aging is something we can fight against.

We all know we cannot stop our skin from aging but we can slow down the process, at least to reduce the signs of aging with the right anti-aging skincare. The new Olay Regenerist skincare range promises to renew from within, plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers.

In this Regenerist Miracle Duo range, there are a total of three products namely; Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence, Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Day Cream and Regenerist Mirco-Sculpting Night Cream.

Honestly I haven’t been using Olay products for the longest time, I think the last time I was using them was during high school because it’s fairly affordable and my mum was using it. Over the years, Olay has improved their formulation and packaging and here I’m trying out this new Regenerist Miracle Duo range that an anti-aging skincare range that hydrates and renews to firm and lift, helping to retain skin’s youthful surface contours. In addition, they are fragrance free as well! Anyway, I have tried it for 4 weeks, so I’m going to share my thoughts here with you girls!

Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence (RM79.90/40ml) is designed to boost the penetration of anti-aging actives of your moisturizer 2 times more to increase skin cell metabolism and renewal for stunning, youthful skin that looks up to 10 years younger.

Olay Scientists and their research partners have combined the most advanced cellular bioenergetics tools with genomic, proteomic, and human skin modelling to identify anti-aging ingredients that can accelerate anti-aging results for faster, more noticeable benefits :- 

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : Boosts surface cell metabolism and renewal, Reduces wrinkles. 
• Amino Peptides  (Pro-Collagen molecules): Helps repair skin, Reduces wrinkles & Firms
• Lys’lastine (natural extract of Dill seeds): Enhances Skin elasticity 
• OliveM  (Antioxidant from Olive Extract): Improves penetration of anti-aging ingredients and helps protect skin from oxidative damage*

Ingredient list : Water, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, PEG-32, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Hydroxide, Methylparaben, Dimethiconol, Disodium EDTA, Inositol, Isopropyl Isostearate, Sodium Metabisulfite, Tocopheryl Acetate, PEG-100 Stearate, Fragrance, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Morus Alba Root Extract, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, PVM/MA Copolymer, Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate, Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract.

 Its unique auto-dropper packaging ensures the exact and right amount of the pre-essence is delivered in every single application. For ideal results, apply two-pump dosage per use. 

Apply product twice a day after toner, and before serum and moisturiser. Just un-screw the cap to automatically draw product into the dropper. Press the pump button to dispense the pre-essence.

The texture is gelish watery and easily absorbable. I did a skin moisture test with this alone and the result is amazing; my skin moisture jumps from 23.2% to 85.5%! I really like this product because my skin does not feel sticky, but instead very soft and supple.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (RM99.90/50g) is a day cream. It’s formulated with the most concentrated Amino-Peptide Complex and Hydra-Firming Complex to :- 

• Renew skin’s surface layers for smooth texture and refined pores 
• Reduces lines and wrinkles with moisturisation 
• Exfoliates for smooth skin 
• Hydrates to help plump and firm skin

Ingredient list : Water, Glycerin, Isohexadecane, Niacinamide, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isopropyl Isostearate, Nylon-12, Dimethicone, Panthenol, Stearyl Alcohol, Polyethylene, Cetyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Benzyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Mica, Methylparaben, Allantoin, Ethylparaben, Dimethiconol, Polyacrylamide, Fragrance, PEG-100 Stearate, Propylparaben, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Sodium Hyaluronate, Stearic Acid, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate, C12-13 Pareth-3, Laureth-7 , Peucedanum Graveolens (Dill) Extract, Sodium Hydoxide, Propylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Xanthan Gum, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Although it looks creamy, but I assure you it is actually not the case. The texture is gelish and absorbs fairly fast into my dry skin once I massage it in. 

Using your fingertips, massage a small amount on the face and neck in an upward circular motion, focusing on areas like the brow and jaw line, which need more support (i.e lifting). My face feel amazing smooth and plump at this point. Even after spending several hours alternating between being outdoors and in an air conditioned room, my skin still feels moist without feeling sticky.

For night time, I used Olay Regenerist Mirco-Sculpting Night Cream (RM99.90/50g). It’s said to plump & firm skin, provide smooth & supple skin texture and enhance radiance. The cream is in transparent milky colour and texture is creamy gel-like. It’s a little heavier than the day cream. My skin feels soft, smooth and supple after applying this. As the texture is a little bit heavy, you do not have to apply a lot, yet my face feel so fresh and hydrated the next morning! More savings yay!

So what I do every night is to have a mini pampering massage of few minutes for myself. I take a small portion from the jar and warm up using my palm before applying to my entire face. Stroke from your forehead, down your cheeks and over to your neck. After a few minutes of gentle stroking, I use gentle pressing method to enhance absorption of product more efficiently. And please don’t forget to do the same to your neck because it’s the first sign of aging that often people neglected. 

Massages like this help to improve blood circulation and lymph circulation, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells. This makes the cells healthier and more efficient. Remember do not use excessive pressure or pull on your skin, soft, gentle movements are sufficient!

After using for 4 weeks of using Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo range, I’m pretty impressed with it. My skin looks more radiant, soft, plump and smooth and that’s the sign of healthy skin right? I think the healthier living lifestyle that I’m trying to adopt contributed to all this as well. I try to sleep earlier nowadays, have less oily & spicy food and have a mini walk to the lake nearby my house with my dog while playing Pokemon. 

Well I feel as we aged, we need to take care extra effort to look good inside out. And feeling beautiful is really powerful because it gives positive vibes to ourselves and people around us. I understand that as a woman living in this era, there are a lot of obstacles and pressure we are facing every day. But the fact that we feel beautiful is a proof that we have a lot of confidence in ourselves. Let’s forget how people are going to judge us because each of us has our own true beauty hidden within all of us. We are unique and there is no one else who will looks exactly like us. Be beautiful people <3 

Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo range new packaging is available in major pharmacies such as Watsons, Guardian and Caring starting October 2016.

Innisfree Beauty Picnic with Jeju Sparkling Mineral Line

I had an amazing time at Innisfree Beauty Picnic a while ago in Organica Lifestyle in Bangsar! Wanted to write about it earlier but was really busy so here I am finally posting this up! A few days before the event, I was told to wear my picnic outfit. Honestly I never been to a real picnic in Malaysia because weather is so damn hot and feel a bit insecure with our security. So I put on my self-imagine picnic #ootd to go to the event, wearing something casual and a hat thinking we will be having picnic under the sun! Ahh... thank god I arrived at the venue and it's fully air-conditioned!

Can you agree with me that this place was decorated perfectly to fit to the event theme? Lots of flowers, green grass, picnic basket.... ah for a moment  I thought I was in Jeju having a picnic! 

Love  the details in the decorations that they put up.. Good job guys!

Before we start with our beauty picnic with Innisfree, Johnny Nam, Brand Manager of Innisfree shared his short welcome note with us. He shared that Innisfree is often aspires to inspire consumers in ways to celebrate natural beauty while keeping it green. A beauty picnic is a form of inspiration of beauty lovers to meet and dedicate their time to appreciate the wonders of earth's produce.

Ms Purple Tap is Innisfree Assistant Training Manager shared that Innisfree products are made from Jeju Island, Korea natural resources. 

Ms Purple shared that in the olden days, Jeju pure sparkling mineral water is known as Gumyeongsu (life saving water), as it cured illness and saves lives. Its goodness has been told from generation to generation. 

Jeju sparkling mineral water is unique that it feels cold at the first touch as its temperature is lower than the body temperature. With the high carbonic content, it stimulates blood circulation and giving the skin a warm feeling. 

This new Innisfree new range is a daily hydration skincare range that uses sparkling mineral water as its main element. It promises your skin clear and moist from within while giving you an everyday hot spring spa-like sensation. 

Jeju Sparkling Mineral is made from Sanbangsan Mountain's hot spring water in Jeju Island. We were told that this is not just normal water as this pure sparkling mineral water was formed 800,000 years ago and is drawn from the aquifer 535 meters deep underground.

A very interesting fact that we were told is that this hot spring has an average temperature if 31 celcius and it's lower than general hot spring and this actually helps the carbon content of the water high. Carbonic acid from the hot spring has the ability to penetrate effortlessly into the skin due to its highly soluble state which increases the oxygen absorption ability of blood, muscles and skin. Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral contains 3 types of carbonic acid and 13 types of hot spring minerals which convey active ingredients to the skin.

I have been to hot spring no wonder my skin was always soft and moist after soaking, probably due to the carbonic acid. Interesting to see Innisfree is using hot spring water mineral to make into a skincare range cos I never seen any brands has use this ingredients.

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral has a total of 6 products that ranges from cleansing powder, toner, essence, lotion, moisturiser (cream and lotion type) and mist. 

I wore my cute Innisfree headband and I'm ready to try out the products and share a little bit more on each range. So are you ready? Let's go!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Powder (RM8.00/30g)

This is a cleansing powder with Jeju sparkling mineral water. Revitalize skin with this easy-to-use  carbonic acid powder pack that clears and moisturises skin, giving skin relaxing spa-like treatment with carbonic acid hot spring water at the comfort of home. The fizzy bubbles form as the sparkling mineral powder dissolves into water, providing a sparkling massage effect.

It also contains Jeju tangerine peel extract that cleanses away any dirt left inside our pores, giving instant brightening effect after washing the face. 

How to use : Get a big bowl that can fit your face. Fill in the bowl with water with about 1.5 to 2 liter of water. Add in Sachet 1 (blue pack) ad wait until it dissolves. Add sachet 2 (white pack) and stir in the water to make fizzy bubbles. 

Soak your face into the water for 2-3 minutes or wash your face using both hands to feel the effect of sparkling massage. Rinse off your face with lukewarm water. 

Watch a short video I posted in my Instagram @jessyings on how I do this. It's so addictive... haha... and I just bought a new pack again to enjoy the sparkling massage effect. 

First time trying cleansing powder in this way, would say totally unique experience. I felt my skin is refreshing and softer after soaking into this. And really fun to do! 

Note : If your skin turn red or flushing after soaking don't be alarmed because your skin is having blood circulation.  It will calm down after a while.

Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum (RM90/80ml)

One of their best seller of all time, I have been wanting to try this! This water-like texture, the serum  is made of 100% fresh green tea instead of water, and able to boast a five-times-better moisturising power after use and increases the moisture content inside the skin up to 66% while decreasing the amount of dead skin cells by 76% - keeping your face effortlessly crystal; clean. The light green tea scent is really pleasant.

You have realised that I have put on serum first on my 2nd step of skincare instead of lotion. This is recommended by Innisfree because Green Tea Seed Serum will act as a booster. It will help to allow deep penetration and absorption of other skincare products into your skin.

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Skin (RM79/200ml)

A deep hydration skin toner loaded with 88% sparkling mineral water that provides a powerful boosting effect. The ethanol-free toner (yay it's alcohol free!) is penetrated fast into the skin to smoothen the skin texture and to enhance the absorption of skincare products in the following steps. The acid balanced formula helps maintain a healthy skin by restoring the imbalanced pH after face wash. 

You can either use cotton to apply this or just use your hand to apply this. I prefer the latter method and to pat all goodness from the Mineral Skin onto my skin directly. As there is no alcohol in the product, it's really gentle to the skin. The texture is extremely light and it's water. And the faint tangerine scent is really refreshing. My skin feel soft but not sticky!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Essence (RM110/70g)

This contains 73.6% of sparkling mineral water. With the help of Micro Sparkling Technology, micro-sized carbonic acid bubbles that are smaller than pores are formulated to best fit onto the skin while facilitating penetration of active ingredients, making skin clean, clear and moist. Just like spa therapy, this delivers 5-in-1 intensive moisturising effect that helps with 5 skin concerns such as skin texture, balance uneven skin tone, keep skin firmness, strengthened the skin barrier and promotes blood circulation through massage.

This is the first time I see serum in foam texture but it still absorb nicely onto the skin when I apply it on my skin. Love how my skin feel soft and supple!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Cream (RM110/50g)

This Sparkling Mineral Cream is infused with 69.9% sparkling mineral water. The lightweight translucent fluid texture absorbs fast into the skin to form double moisture layer that remains all day long. The skin-friendly ceramide is stabilized in a fluid form, building a protective film to strengthen the moisture barrier on skin.

To those who has oily or combination skin, you can use Mineral Lotion instead which is lighter than the cream. Personally I felt the cream texture is really light and easy to absorb.

Innisfree Sparkling Mineral Mist (RM52/80ml)

To those who are looking for instant and intense hydration, you can try Sparkling Mineral Mist which has 90% sparkling mineral water. It resolves dryness while supplying minerals to keep skin moisturized anytime and anywhere. 

Love how the mist texture is really fine and absorb onto the skin nicely providing a quick moisturising boost. Although this mist has oil extracted from coconut as one of the ingredients to help to retain moisture on skin, it does not leave the skin oily after spraying the mist.

Tips of spraying mist, make sure you spray at 20cm away from the skin while keeping your eyes  and mouth close..haha see I forgot to close mine and tasted some of the mist.. 

Innisfree Long Wear Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ (RM80/15g) . Refill selling at RM45

Innisfree Long Wear Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ helps to reduce the appearance of pores, discolorations, and imperfections and ensures a perfectly flawless complexion every time. The Long-wear Complex containing Jeju volcanic powder delivers flawless coverage with this long-wearing effect.
