THE FACE SHOP SKIN CARE HAUL

After I tried TFS Raspberry Root Sleeping Mask and the TFS Marine Stem Cell Revive Mist Toner, I was instantly hooked to The Face Shop products.

I wanted to update my skin care routine using THE FACE SHOP products since most of their products has a very brightening  and moisturizing effect to my skin. (plus it really smells good! :D)

So these are the things that I bought:

Rice Water Bright O2 Cleansing Foam

Pore Minimizer Controlling Toner with Powder

Post-Acne Brightening Serum

Marine Stem Cell Cell Revive Moisturizer

Natural Sun AQ Super White Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++

Short Descriptions:

1) Rice Water Bright O2 Cleansing Foam

• This cleanser has a light weight creamy consistency that lathers up nicely. 
• It give a very hydrating and soft feel to the skin after rinsing it off with warm water.
• It has Vitamin B5 Complex which minimizes irritation, controls sebum, and protects skin against pollution

FUN FACT ABOUT VITAMIN B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 

"Panotothenic Acid helps treat acne by boosting and protecting our immune system. A compromised immune system can directly lead to acne 

When your immune system is weakened, it will leave the protective barrier of your complexion vulnerable to damage, making it highly likely that the acne bacteria on your skin will result in  chronic, inflamed acne lesions."
