Ever wondered.... When do you think you should start using anti aging products?

The other day, I was invited to The Great Skin Debate by Kinerase, an informal discussion with other beauty bloggers about having timeless beautiful skin. Also present during the session was Valerie, current reigning Miss Singaopore Universe otherwise known as Dweam.

I asked Ruiting to join me for this event and we had fun!

Kinerase is formulated with a unique ingredient called Kinetin which helps women achieve timeless skin. It is the only professional skincare line to contain this ingredient.

Kinerase is clinically proven to significantly improve

1. Fine Wrinkles

2. Skin colour 

3. Skin Texture 

4. Pigmentation

I'm still trying out the product so I'm hoping for good results. :) 

Before this event, I never thought much about anti aging products. I guess it is because for now, it isn't my main concern. When it comes to my skin, I'm more concerned about my horrendous pimple scars and my active acne but the session really changed my mindset. Before the friendly debate, Dr. Sim Kwang Chuor from Aesthetic Works Medical Associates gave us one on one skin analysis. I asked him quite abit of questions and he was really helpful too! 

So.... When do you think you should start using Anti Aging products? 

According to Dr Sim, you should start as soon as possible, even as early as 16 years old! 

When I heard that, to be honest, I was really shocked. We discussed this during the session and perhaps its true. Think about it. Ever since you were born, you're growing older every minute and that includes you skin. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? 

Now, let me show you the products the Kinerase team has kindly sponsored me with. :) 

The 6 step skincare range 

My usual skincare routine is just 3 steps, but with Kinerase, it takes alot of discipline!!

For the first 3 days of using the cleanser, my undereyes felt really itchy after using the cleanser. Not sure whether it is an allergic reaction tho. It made my skin dry and itchy. After that few days, the skin condition of my undereyes went back to normal. Just a note, not every product is suitable for your skin. For me, Kinerase didn't seem suitable at first, but it's all good now. Phew! 

For step 5, it is a little tricky! I normally use the before wearing make up and

 the cream at night before I head to bed. 

Kinerase is exclusively available at dermatologist and aesthetic clinics. Find out more here. 

Anyway, I tried the skin analyser on their website and I'm quite shocked. In age, I'm 19, but according to my lifestyle, diet etc. my skin's age is probably 27 years old! It's crazy. Please try it out for yourself. This will probably motivate me to continue my 6 step Kinerase routine even more now. Try it yourself here.

Thank you Kinerase!

AM + PM All day no shine sebum balancer and Naruko's Tea Tree Oil!

MynameisQUE;

<Sponsored>

A few weeks ago, Naruko sent me 2 products to try. They first asked me how my skin condition is like. Well, I told them honestly. My skin is oily and pimply. Quite disgusting right? What to do.... :( 

I was sent the All day no shine sebum balancer product from the brand am + pm skincare and the Tea tree oil from the brand Naruko. 

My boss saw this product on my table and said that she has heard good reviews about the product! :) 

am + pm skincare 

All day no shine sebum balancer 

$31.90 

This is how oily my skin is by 1pm everyday. Everyday I'll reach work by 9.15 am with make up on and in 4 hours, my make up will look as if it's "gone" because of my oily face. Anybody faces the same problem as me? 

After using the product, my skin appears less oily. (Still oily around the nose area but definitely not as oily as before. This photo was taken with the sebum balancer worn underneath my make up. 

This product is not only for oil control but also mosturising. However, just a word of caution. Don't use this product so much. Just a thin layer will do. :) 

Naruko Tea Tree Oil Out 

$25.90 

The solutions is a mixture of water and powder. It contains 2% salicylic acid and 0.025% sulphur which is effective against acne. Basically this product sucks out unnecessary oil to balance the skin's water oil levels. I normally use cotton pads to apply on my blemishes and pimples.

For me, after a few minutes, the product leaves a stinging menthol-like sensation on my skin. It has a minty smell which i like. ~

Btw, Naruko's new site will be launched tomorrow. You can buy Naruko products and earn points! 

Psst! Every dollar you spend is = to 1 reward point. 

SO THE MORE YOU BUY, THE MORE REWARDS YOU GET! ;) 

And...... The points can be used for gift exchanges and also you can use it for selected items so that you get a discount.  

Another good deal ~~

Cetaphil Review and Giveaway on Twitter @RynaQUE!

"Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is as gentle as it gets. Sensitive to your skin's needs, it's free of fragrance and avoids the harshness of soap". 

To be honest, I've never tried a skin cleanser which is free of fragrance, so when I tried it, I was rather shocked and I was like.... "Am I using the correct thing?!" Indeed I was. This gentle soap-free skin cleanser is widely used by Singapore Dermatologists for more than 25 years and is the leading brand of gentle skin cleanser in Singapore. 

 

Cetaphil is suitable for ALL skin types and is ideal for facial and full body use. I've especially bad acne prone skin and body. There is not one day that I go through without a single pimple on my face, so to be honest Cetaphil has lessen pimple breakouts for me. How many of you have pimply backs? I do! (Not ashamed of admitting LOL) Pimples on the back are EXTREMELY annoying, you can always use Cetaphil to cleanse those acne prone areas as it works effectively without causing skin irritation.  :) 

The Cetaphil Skin Care Plan

1. Cleanse youre face with the gentlest of cleansers

2. Moisturise and stay hydrated ALL DAY LONG ;) 

3. Protect yourself from the harmful UV rays from the sun! 

Realised that many people skip STEP 3 when I think it's THE MOST IMPORTANT step especially in hot hot Singapore. It's very important to protect ourselves from the sun!! 

Thinking of getting your hands on some Cetaphil products? Well on the 29th and the 30th October, Cetaphil is having a roadshow at Jurong Point!! Buy 2 bottles of Cetaphil Skin Clenser for $49.90 only and save $15!! Think they'll probably have more promotions there so you should really check out the roadshow. :)
