Know your Skin Care Routine

What's the secret to a healthy, young looking and glowing skin? Skin care is not just about your daily dose of Vitamin E or those expensive products you use. Let's not worry about what benefits you're getting from your favorite cleanser. Did you know that caring starts with how you treat your skin everyday?

This definition of Skin Care is perfect:

Removing makeup is one of the toughest thing to do especially when you just came home from a stressful day at work or an exhausting event;   no matter how tired and sleepy you are at night, never ever skip or forget to remove your makeup. Our skin needs time to breathe and being covered up with junk all day is crazy for your face. PLUS dirt, oil, smoke and pollution was with you throughout your day. There are convenient ways to remove makeup, I use makeup remover wipes and wet ones after whenever I feel tired whether its day or night and I still have my makeup on. 

According to dermatologists, stick with lukewarm water every time you cleanse. Using cold water for cleansing will close up our pores which makes it difficult for us to remove the dirt. While washing with hot water will make our skin dry. 

Try to get your entire face wet to make sure that you get all the spot on your face cleansed. Also, never apply too much facial wash or cleanser on your face, avoid using excess product; a pea size amount would do. Wiping your face off with a tissue or cotton pads will make it easier for us to remove the residue of oil and dirt and then take a few splash of cold water to close down those slightly opened pores and to keep the nutrients and moisture you can get from your facial wash.

Don't forget to moisturize. Don't put too much moisturizer on your face, the "Less is more" rule applies to this step as well. If you have normal to dry skin, try a richer hydrating cream or aqua gel moisturizers. If you have oily and combination skin stay away from heavy moisturizers and focus on the areas of your face that appears dry. Slowly and softly pat your fingers to your face when applying, and massage the product gently to your skin.

And lastly, drink plenty of water. This is the perfect way to hydrate your skin from the inside.

Get rid of those Blackheads with iWhite Nose Pack

I will give you a quick review of the iWhite Nose Pack :)


About iWhite:

iWhite is a whitening skin care product formulated in Korea. It specializes not only in lightening the skin tone, but also in improving the overall texture of the skin through its moisturizing and rejuvenating natural plant extracts refined through Bio-Nanotechnology.

iWhite has several products targeting all skincare needs; like moisturizing facial wash, skin-clearing facial mask, dirt-removing nose pack, revitalizing and soothing moisturizer, facial cream with sunscreen, and whitening body soap which are all available in the Philippines at an affordable price.

iWhite is exclusively distributed by Biocostech Philippines.

Product Claims:

An effective solution to removing whiteheads, blackheads, and skin impurities. This cream style nose pack conveniently adjusts to your own nose shape making it easier and more effective in eliminating deep-seated dirt. It also minimizes the appearance of pores and excess oil on the nose area and even the T-zone.

For best results, use 2-4 times a week with other iWhite skincare products.

What I like about the iWhite Nose Pack:

I love how it adheres to your skin very well, its consistency is from liquid like that dries out like cement or glue in a few seconds.

It removes my blackheads and whiteheads after about 8-10 minutes of having it on my nose. 

The mask is easy to pull off once it dries up

Does not irritate my face at all

The product eliminates the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads that I have on my nose, so it looks clean.

Does not dry out skin

Php 18 available at mercury drug

What I don't like about the iWhite Nose Pack:

It did not remove all those stubborn dirt that I have on my first use (teeny weeny whiteheads are still there) so you need to use it like every other day

You'll need to apply generous amount to cover your nose area (even the bridge if you like) because it creates bubbles and will appear thin if you don't use that much.

I used it twice the week after I bought the sachets and i felt a stinging sensation on my nose area while applying the product and it turns red after pulling the mask off.

My pores got bigger on the nose area after several use

First layer application - It creates bubbles if you apply a thin layer

Second layer application

Eeew :)

Things to remember:

It's up to you if you want to use the product everyday but I suggest you use it twice or three times a week.

Tone and moisturize after iWhite nose pack application to avoid drying out your skin or to minimize your pores ( I apply night cream or day cream after toning)

Have fun in taking away those gunk! :-)
