Jinju White Soap REVIEW

This Korean whitening soap is being over advertised on Facebook as I see it on my news feed very often. My curiosity tingled me again and told me to give this product a try. I am really impressed by the way their social media team promote this product online so they got me! :D

So this soap promises to deeply cleanse, unclog and minimize pores, lighten dark areas, clear acne blemishes, remove acne scars and brighten over all complexion. Now that's big honey! Let's see! ;)

P180

The product is properly boxed in a pink carton with super cool prints. I also like the texture of this soap because it feels heavy and premium. Contrary to its beautiful packaging, the soap itself looks super simple printed with the word "Jinju White".

I finished one bar of this soap for almost a month. Yes, the product lasts that long because it doesn't melt easily. With that span of time, I can tell if the product works for me or not. To be honest with you, I didn't see significant improvement on my skin's condition and complexion. I noticed a little glow on my arms and legs though. However, it is not enough for me to say that this product is super worth of our P180. I feel that this product can deliver amazing result in long term use.

On a lighter note, I really like the moisturizing effect of this soap. I can actually compare it to Dove beauty bar because my skin feels so soft and bouncy every after use. Another thing that I like about the Jinju White Soap is its fresh smell. The fragrance gives a little boost of happiness whenever I'm using it.

All in all, I can still recommend this soap to you because for me, it is the type of soap that will give you beautiful skin months after months of religiously using the product. It is not as fast as the other brand but the good thing about this soap is it is not harsh. In fact, it's moisturizing. I will still consider using this soap again if I want to rest my skin from strong whitening products. This is a good maintenance soap I must say. :)

Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Lotion Review

by MJ Garcia Perez 12:05 PM

In today's blog post, I am going to share you another review of the whitening lotion that I have tried long time ago. The product that I am talking about is the Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Lotion. If you are following this blog, you probably read my review about the partner of this lotion. The Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Soap. I recently published my detailed review about the soap and to be honest, I am really impressed how the soap can lighten our skin fast! Can this lotion do that as well?

Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Lotion

The perfect complement to the Kojic Bar, the new Belo Intensive Whitening Body Cream (Lotion), with Kojic Acid & Tranexamic Acid that intensively whitens skin. It has SPF 30 that protects skin against harmful UV rays.

Belo Intensive Whitening Body Cream SPF 30 is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested.

I am so in love with the smell of this product. It has this fresh perfume-like fragrance that makes me wanna apply this lotion more often. The cream is housed in a squeezable tube making it perfect to dispense the product hygienically. However, the excess product spills around its nozzle. I hate seeing it because it looks very unpleasant. Look at this:

Despite the messy nozzle, I still love using this product because to be honest, it really does the job in making my skin fairer. Just like the soap, I am really amazed with the idea of combining Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid in one whitening product. Those two ingredients prevent melanin production and reduce the appearance of stubborn dark spots that do not respond to other skin lightening ingredients.

The Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Lotion is packed with SPF 30 to help us protect from the harmful rays of the sun while our skin is still in whitening process. Hearing the word "SPF 30" makes me shiver because lotions with high SPF are usually sticky and heavy, but not this amazing cream from Belo. It is not sticky at all!

So there! I highly recommend this whitening cream because it is true to its promise and it has the ability to protect our skin while it is on its way to a better complexion. If you are looking for a whitening lotion that is not sticky, with sun protection, effective and easy to find, the Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Lotion is the one! It is a bit pricey though but it is super worth every single centavo. :)

Althea Bare Essentials: A 3-Step Korean Skincare Routine

by MJ Garcia Perez 7:14 PM

My dermatologist once told me that skincare routine is a very personal thing. We really need to take time to know our skin better and what it truly needs. Just like my personality, I like my skincare to be so simple and easy. I hate complicating things especially that my skin is highly sensitive and acne-prone. If you have the same skin condition as mine, I bet you understand the dilemma of choosing the right product for our fragile skin.

I felt genuine happiness when I heard the news that Althea Korea has finally released their very first skincare products. I personally love the Althea's pioneer product called Althea Velvet Powder which I reviewed here. So I am expecting these products to work well too.

Althea Bare Essentials

Complicated skincare steps block the pores and make your skin tired. Bare Essentials simplifies skincare to what your skin really needs. Infused with hydrating ingredients from the depths of nature. The set includes:

Contour Cleanser

Step 1 is the Contour Cleanser, a rich and foaming cleanser that removes impurities while improving blood circulation for that V-shaped look. It contains micro capsules to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and leaves the skin feeling cool and refreshed too!

Primer Water

Step 2 is the Primer Water. Smooth, hydrating and ever so slightly balm-like, this bottle of wonder penetrates into the layers of the skin to plump them up, prepping the skin and making it a smooth canvas for products to come.

Fixer Cream

Step 3 is the Fixer Cream. Powerful moisturizing properties are packed into this little jar that provides the skin with hydration for up to 24 hours for a fresh, revitalized complexion.

As you can see, the products are housed in a very simple containers yet they look perfectly awesome. That's the same principle this kit promises to give. An uncomplicated beauty regimen that will deliver perfection for all skin types.

I am really excited to try these amazing products and share you my full detailed review about them. Please keep posted and follow me on my social media channels: @MJAMESPEREZ on Instagram and Vanity Room Philippines on Facebook. Kamsahamnida! :)
