My shopping bag xD
The skin care products that i have bought today .
The best selling Skin food Aloe Vera Cleansing Foam .
The lettuce and Cucumber Toner .
The samples , Lettuce and Cucumber Essence and Rice Wash off mask .
This afteroon , i met dear outside the school and we went to AMK hub for lunch . Surprisingly , i ate 2 burgers . I was too hungry at that time . hahas .
After that , we went around the place . We intend to buy a pair of rings , again . Dear lost his ring , so no choice . hahahah . He will feel guilty when he read what i have wrote here . LOL .
We decided to buy it on our 1st year anniversary xD
We went to skin food , since it's just beside couples lab . I went there to shop for my cleanser and toner .
Actually , i wanted to buy a wash off mask . It's much more worth it than those peel off mask , though i really love the cooling effect of the mask after taking them out from fridge to use .
I wanted to buy the black sugar wash off mask . However , the grain is considered big and may not be suitable for my sensitive + dry skin . Too bad , they don't have the sample . Nevermind , i shall try the sample , which is actually a holy grail awardee .
Of course , i wanna try the aloe vera BB cream too . BB cream is good xD
Still , i took the other sample . If it's good , i shall buy it . I will do a review on the skin food products after i have tried them out . That's all for the products .
Ever wonder why i buy skin food product instead of laneige ?
I was wondering about the effects of the laneige products . Many have said that it's good since Asian products suit our skin , unlike European products like Chanel etc .
As i have sensitive and dry skin , there are certain products that i can't used . Till now , i don't know what ingredient i am allergic to . To be safe and to save money , i got to look for products review .
However , this is what i get: source from http://www.yebber.com/review/laneige-3/
"I was introduced to laneige after seeing some online craze about its water bank series. furthermore, the prices are much cheaper than the original products i was using and thus i switched my stuff to laneige.
i used it for several weeks when one of my friend who worked as a pharmacist saw my products and told me that the ingredients used are very harmful to skin. some of them includes artificial colouring, fragrance, preservatives and alcohol, and it seems like they have used it in large amount in the products. i did some further research online and was quite traumatized by the information i gathered. some ingredients are also used in some car engines?
i immediately called my friend whom i heard was a fan of laneige and was hoping to get some reassurance from her that i was just being too paranoid.
however, she told me that she had an outbreak months back and got some acne products from laneige. and it made the situation worse and she has since stopped using products from the brand. she told me her skin doctor said the initial outbreak could be due to harmful ingredients with her skincare products, causing underlying problems which can only happen after long usage of the products. and she mentioned that her doctor ‘hinted’ that it could also be due to laneige that causes her situation to get worse after looking through the ingredients.
till now her outbreak has not been cleared and she has been thousands of dollars trying to save her face by seeing some popular skin doctors.
i refuse to take the risk and threw away all my items from laneige. i may be saving money for the time being but who knows i may be like my friend spending much more to solve the skin problems aggrevated.
i know there are still fans of the brand around but im just sharing my opinions. "
It's kind of scary when you saw this .
and , i check the whitening ingredient , Arbutin . It contains in whitening products , even for some other brands .
Source: Wikipedia (i have crossed check with other sources)
"Arbutin is glucosylated hydroquinone,[1] and may carry similar cancer risks,[2] although there are also claims that arbutin reduces cancer risk.[3]
The German Institute of Food Research in Potsdam found that intestinal bacteria can transform arbutin into hydroquinone, which creates an environment favourable for intestinal cancer. It is known that the body excretes 64-75% of arbutin in urine, and arbutin converted to hydroquinone has an antibacterial effect in the urinary tract, hence the use of bearberry in herbal medicine, but it is not known why this substance plays a role in cancer development."
If you were in my shoe , aren't you guys afraid when you read this ?
And it's said that most whitening source have contained some ingredient with risk , though not much credit on it . However , it's better to be safe than sorry right ?
You can read up at wikipedia by typing "skin bleaching" .
As for the Laneige thing , many people gave credits for it's products . Personally , i like the Water Bank Essence . It works for me . As for the others , i began to have doubts .
Well , they cannot blame people to have such thoughts as they didn't state much on their ingredients used , according to the internet .
Still , it's up to the user . If it suits them , good then . If not , better change before your skin condition become worst .
So girls , love your tanned skin . Don't risk your life just to look beautiful . Know more information on the products beforehand .
Ok , end of the skin care thingy .
Tomorrow , i will be knowing which poly i am posted too . I am kind of nervous . It's just like repeating how i feel last year , except without xinying to share the feeling with me .
Wish me good luck xD
Tired , yet cannot sleep .
