Kimmy's Skin Secrets

Hello my fellow bloggers! 
Call me vain but today I'm going to share to you the skin care products that I use everyday. Now, why am I sharing this one? Because most of my friends are asking me why do I have flawless skin, but for me it's not really as pixel perfect like Hollywood stars have, but as they say for an average person, it's pretty flawless..awww *blushes*

So I start my day using this Garnier Oil Clear Facial Wash
Okay guys, I really have a bad case of oily skin and I hate it! It really annoys me. Most of the time I keep on applying face powder every hour just to avoid a shiny face, but when I started using this product, my skin is shine-free for as long as 4 hours.


Then after I wash my face, I apply Garnier Light Complete Cream...

To tell you honestly I have been using this product for almost a year now and it never failed me. My skin was too dark before, but when I started using this, my skin becomes lighter and even more healthier looking.

I admit I love to use make up. I'm an addict. I can't go out without wearing make up.
But I can't sleep when my face is all covered with make up. So, that's why I use Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil as my make up remover.
I love the fact that it's inexpensive (Php 129.75/US$ 3.07 ) and it has many uses such as whitening and hair coat. It can really remove that waterproof mascara with just a drop of this oil.
Then after I remove all of my make up, I wash my face with Pond's Pure White Facial Foam.

I really like this product from Pond's because it really removes the excess dirt and oil on my face and it gives me that clean feeling that I want.
For me, it's really important to keep the face clean because dirt and oil are the primary cause of acne and pimples which I really hate. When I was just 11 years old, I already had pimples on my face and suffered 'till I was in high school. By the time I was in college and when I realize how to take care of my skin, the pimples started to fade out. They would only appear like once a month when I have my monthly period.

Another tip that I share to most of my friends is always eat BANANAS!
I don't know but I have read an article about bananas that they have anti-aging properties. That's probably one of the reasons why my face is always glowing, and as for my cousin, Cheryl, she thinks that I just had Botox, which I can't afford ;)
I'm a banana monster and I'm not ashamed of that. I eat 2-3 bananas in a day just to keep the stress away, plus it's a very good alternative for a chocolate craving and it's healthy.

So this is me with no make up...



Photos are not edited, guys. Is it really flawless? Well, you'll be the judge ;)

  2. Glad to know that Pond's and Garnier works well for you. Nung gumagamit ako ng Pond's, hay super big ass pimples ang inabot ko. I have oily + sensitive skin, kaya I easily breakout. Kahit anong facial wash gamitin ko, I still breakout. Hay! I'm using a facial wash from Avon right now for my everyday use, and St.Ive's facial scrub once a week. So far, minimal breakout nlng with this tandem, But still, I hate my blemishes. =(

  3. @amz88: I think we do have something in common, and that is Cetaphil does not work for me too. A few years back my dermatologist prescribed me Cetaphil as my facial wash, then after a few weeks I stopped using it. Have you tried Garnier Light Complete cream? it keeps my face matte for several hours and yes, St Ives is also a good product for oily skin types, I've been using that when I was in high school :)

  4. @Julz: no wonder you were looking for a green make up base :p but I highly recommend a liquid foundation that is good for oily skin and for covering those blemishes :) I think revlon has one...will try it soon!

  6. @AMz88: Garnier light complete just reduces some dark spots on your face, but I think it only shows your natural fairness after two weeks of use because that's what happened to me and it's been almost a year since I've used this product. Just give it a try ;) but some people are not compatible with Garnier light complete, and they tend to use Olay natural white instead..

  10. Yes, a green makeup base, that's what I badly need. But I might also try the BB cream foundation from Tony Moly. It's good daw (according to Project Vanity). Helps control the oilies at bay, and it's pretty cheap for a Korean BB Cream. I'm planning to get that one when I get a chance...heheh =)
