Wedding planning causes stress (ows? Di nga?!). For most of us, this means less sleep and more breakouts. I’m particularly conscious about it, because I frequently get skin bumps.
I have very sensitive skin, well, that’s an understatement. I tend to break out a lot when I was younger. If I can thank my mom for anything else aside from paying for my education, it will be the weekly visit to the dermatologist. The doctor never got to ‘cure’ the problem, but at the very least, it was controlled. Instead of having 10 new zits daily, I just have 9? LOL! I went there so often, and spent hours inside the clinic just waiting for my face to get a good pricking. Ouchy Saturdays, always! That’s been my life for years, even after college *sniff.* The episodes never really went away; I still get the bumps, but because I’ve gone through worse days, I’m just thankful that they are not as obvious or as many.
Despite my laziness, skin care is something I just can’t skip; after all, ito ang susi to lesser breakouts. The usual routine will be to cleanse, tone and moisturize, but I’ve never really liked the toners in the past. The derma provided a toner before, and it stings. It causes my face to have red patches and makes it raw which just adds more to the problem. I’ve survived the last decade without using any toner, so far so good -- well that was what I thought.
I was proven wrong. I read about the Etude Wonder Pore Freshner and decided to try it, it’s a toner, still with alcohol content, that’s why it’s refreshing to use.
Even with the alcohol though, it doesn’t sting when you use it! Yey! So you get the cooling effect of alcohol without the sting, genius!
The Wonder Pore Freshner helped remove the remaining traces of make-up and makes you feel that you are going to sleep with a clean face. It's supposed to help prevent enlarged pores through deep but gentle cleansing. Apparently it also maintains the skin's PH level, but I don't think I can test that. So far, it doesn’t make me break-out or cause my skin to go red, I guess it’s working for me – which is a good thing because I got the biggest bottle that they have. I think it can last me up to three months, yup! It’s that big.
The Wonder Pore Freshener does come in a smaller size but it doesn’t have the unique pump.
It’s a cool feature of the 500ml bottle, since you don’t have to tilt it. You just push down with your cotton ball a couple of times and you are all set. Hopefully, I can keep this in my routine and make my skin more prepared in the coming months. I can get used to waking up to a refreshed face with glowing skin yah know =)
Btw, I’m also applying this on LJ, LOL! Yah, I am the one applying it on him. I soak the cotton ball with the toner and then I chase after him to wipe the product on his face.
Who said that it should only be us girls who will need to prep the skin for the big day?! =)
