Facial Ice Roller review

 

I ended up with a faulty one, this one leaked. But since it technically still does its job, I can still give it a review. 

I had concerns about using ice on my face because I was worried that the ice might "stick" to my face (like what happens when you lick an ice pole in winter and your tongue gets stuck on it). But after using ice on the face, I can confirm that it will not happen. Your face is warm enough to melt the ice quickly unlike a pole where the heat is retained. Be sure to do this over a sink or a towel, because the ice melts fast, and before you know it, the water will start dripping down your face.

I found that if you have super sensitive skin (and are bothered by how cold the ice is) you can use this facial roller with the silicone on. On days my skin feels sensitive, I prefer to leave the silicone on and use it. It works really well and prevents the cold from stinging my skin/face and less water drips from your face. The ice will simply melt inside the silicone container.

Impressions:

• so cold but makes my skin feel so good
• skin becomes saturated/quenched in water
• makes applying skincare much easier (more on that below)
• skin feels so much softer after using
• easier to control where ice/coldness should be

I really like this face roller! It calms inflamed pores and acne. 

Skincare and Ice Roller

The Ice Roller fills your pores with water, and your skin feels like a saturated (filled with water) sponge. It feels strange touching your skin because it will have a weird pore filled with water texture (think flat water balloons).

It helps my skincare products absorb much better, but do not apply your products right after, allow your skin to absorb the water before you apply any skincare products or they won't be absorbed properly. 

I can't think of any cons to this product! It is affordable, it works, and it comes with many benefits.

Score: 10/10

Clinique rinse-off foaming cleanser review

what the product looks like

In French it is called mousse hydro-demaquillante. Clinique has always advertised themselves as "Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free"

info

Impressions

• Light & mild
• product feels like whipped cream
• does not foam up
• No squeaky clean feeling
• no fragrance
• a little goes a long way

Packaging: 
The packaging is ok, but it can be a bit difficult to get the last 10% of the product out.

Product:
The actual product feels very light and mild, sort of like whipped cream. It had a silky feeling and no real foam formed. It did not irritate my sensitive skin (so this is good for those who have sensitive skin).

I did not encounter any squeaky clean feeling and my skin did not feel tight either. HOWEVER, Remember that you must apply toner --> serum --> moisturizer after!!!

Kracie - Naive - Green Tea Cleanser review

For this post, I will be only doing a review for the Naive Kracie Green Tea facial cleanser as that's the only product I have tried here.

This is a strong facial cleanser, you can feel it immediately after you rinse, your face and fingers you used to clean with have a squeaky clean touch to it.

Although the instructions suggest using 1cm of the product, I just use merely 3-5 mm since it is already a lot of product. The instructions say taking that bit of product you foam it up with either a foam ball or the palm of your hands.

thoughts:

• a little goes a long way (even if you apply a small amount and foam it, it still works)
• strong cleanser
• light fragrance (lighter means there should be less chemicals inside?)
• great for "tough" stubborn oil
• remember to moisturize immediately after you use this!!
• not suitable for winter months

Since it is so strong, I suggest using warm water (instead of hot water) to clean the product from your face and immediately apply either 1. serum or 2. moisturizer or 3. emulation to your face because your face will dry up and your skin will feel as if it stiffened (not a nice feeling).

I highly recommend this facial cleanser because it does what it promises and it literally does a good job removing oil and dirt from your face. However, if you have sensitive skin, I would suggest a milder cleanser like Biore's (product review will follow shortly).
