Equitance Skin Care Review

While I am happy with my current skin care regimen, I am always open to try new products/options. 2 weeks ago, I am excited to receive the trial kit in the mail c/o Equitance! I wanted to quickly share my thoughts after using the products for 2 weeks straight.

I have always been a fan of Asian skin care products. They seem to work well for me. The trial kit contains: brightening foaming cleanser, brightening toning lotion, brightening serum & spot corrector, hydrating brightening cream, sunscreen broad spectrum and skin radiance dietary supplement. In the mornings, after washing my face, I rub the brightening toning lotion all over my face. I then follow up with the spot corrector. Next, I apply the brightening cream and finish off with the sunscreen. In the evenings, I follow the same steps but use the brightening foaming cleanser with my Clarisonic as the first step and skip the sunscreen.

In general, skin care products tend to take some time to be effective so I can't give a concrete review just yet. However, first impressions - I am impressed! They are lightweight, absorb quickly and do not leave a greasy feeling behind for my skin. I love the clean fresh smell and most importantly, they do not break me out. Even though I only use these products for a short period of time, I definitely notice the difference - my skin looks brighter and healthier. If you're on the hunt for new skin care products (especially for the upcoming winter), I highly recommend the trial kit. It's a cost effective way to experience new products. Linking up with Manic Monday and Style to Inspire today!

Equitance Skin Care Review

My morning skincare routine

Today, I will be sharing my morning skincare routine. I remember the days when I would just wash my face with water and be done with it. I wasn't interested in skin care products until recently. 3 weeks ago, I switched to a new skin care product and am amazed (more info below). My morning skincare routine is very simple and takes no time at all. It works well for my busy morning schedule but still gives my skin what it needs all day.

1. Laneige Skin Refiner: I've been using this toner for about 2 years now. To be honest, it doesn't do anything life-changing to my skin. It does help make my skin smoother to ensure even makeup application.
2. Miracle Worker Retinoid Pads and Solution: When I first started using it, I wasn't impressed at all. I was going to return it but at the end, decided to give it some more time. I am glad I did because after a month of using it, I started seeing improvements on my skin. Although, the results are not very noticeable, it helps even out my skin's texture. I was surprised that it works well because I am sometimes sensitive to retinoid products.
3. Neutrogena Age Shield Sunblock: This is my go-to sunscreen for years. I put it on in the morning as part of my skin care regiment and it absorbs quickly and evenly. No breakouts from this product despite the fact that is is on the thicker side.
4. Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate: I've been using this product for about 3 weeks now and all I can say is love.

  After finished my second bottle of Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, I headed over to Sephora in search of a new skin care serum. The SA has recommended Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Serum and gave me a 7-day sample pack to try. The package claims that you will notice results within 7 days of use. I was very pleased that I started to notice a difference within the first day of using this serum. After 3 days, my skin's appearance became brighter, more even and smoother. I was amazed! The serum itself is a milky color and on application it sank straight into my skin with no greasiness whatsoever. It is expensive price-wise but personally, I think it is so worth the price tag. I truly adore this serum and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you use any of the products mentioned, I'd love to know what you think of them.

 Happy Father's Day to the most special man in our lives.

My morning skincare routine

Review: Laneige skincare

I don’t have a major acne problem but my skin is still far from perfect. I've been looking for skin care products that would improve, lighten and even out my skin tone for a while. I am overwhelmed with all the skin care products out there and do not know where to start. I turned to some of my favorite beauty bloggers for their experiences.  After doing a bit of research, I decided to try the Laneige skin care products.  I started with two products: the Laneige skin refiner and the Laneige night cream. They are the basic of any skin care routine.  I have always had very dry skin (so dry it flakes), especially in the winter. Therefore, moisturizers are essential for me. Let's start with the Laneige white plus renew skin refiner: Continue reading...

Skin refiner is another term for skin toner. This product also has moisturizers to hydrate the skin. According to product’s description "skin whitening toner that refines and clarifies your skin surface. The product contains papaya extracts and water lily extracts that remove old dead skin cells and impurities on skin surface.”
