Aloe Moist Full Soothing Mist.

So far among all mist that I've tried throughout the year, I finally come across a mist from Etude House that moisturizes my face throughout the day and its the Aloe Soothing Mist. It does not leave any oily residue like most mist does.

It is enriched with Baobab Tree extracts, Organic Aloe and Organic Herb supplies that instantly moisturize and relieves out skin. Due to its size, it is easy to bring around so I usually carry it in my bag whenever I leave the house. Mostly I apply it every 2 hours to keep my skin moisturize.

Whole Chia Seed.

I was introduced to Chia Seed from a friend of mine and I've been loving it. Here's a little background on Chia Seeds. It is a flowering plant in the mint family. Chia is grown commercially for its seeds, a food that is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. They are usually in brown, black and white colour. The seeds can absorb 12x their size when soaked. After soaking to its full size, it forms a mucus like gel on the outer area.

There are a few benefits to including Chia Seeds into your diet. That includes it being a natural treatment for type-2 diabetes, more fiber, omega-3, stronger teeth and bones, helps you get full faster, fight belly fats and others. 

I tend to drink more water when I add Chia Seeds into my drink. I like chewing on the seed and the mucus likes substance around it. I'll be doing a separate post on Chia Seeds and more information and how you can include it into your diet.

Redoxon Vita Guard Ace+

I was first introduced to this tablet by one of my tuition student's mother. She told me the benefits of this tablet and I soon fell in love with it. It has Vitamin C, A, B6, B12, D, E, Folic Acid, Minerals, Zinc, Selenium, Copper and Iron in each tablet. It's a tablet around the size of a 50 cents, put it into a cup of water and look at it sizzle away. 

I've been taking it for the past few months and I'm loving it, I definitely recommend it to those who are battling with pimple problems, it did solve my pimple problem after taking the tablet every morning,

Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask.

A range from Freeman has finally been brought into store by Watsons a few months ago. It contains Activated Charcoal which helps to absorb oil without over drying the skin and black sugar that helps to exfoliate dead skin cells. After using this, your skin feels softer and cleaner.

Usually I had to apply mask on after exfoliating but thanks to this, I won't need to apply mask after exfoliating. It's a 2 in 1! I am definitely getting it again after I finish mine.

Swiss Line Water Shock Foam Cleanser.

My favorite cleanser among all cleansers I have tried. I am currently on my 3rd set this month. I can't survive without it! XD It is suitable for dry and combination skin. It contains Lychee extract which is known to be great anti-oxidants. It helps to brighten the skin, providing natural exfoliation and helps to moisturize deeply. 

EOS Lemon Lip Balm SPF15.

Applying lip balm is equally important to applying moisturizer on your skin. As usual, I love everything that has SPF compound in it that's why it made its way into my April Faves list!

Aloe Mask.

This mask belongs to "My Beauty Diary" range from Taiwan. What I like about this mask is that it has a lot of essence in it. Even after applying for 25-30 minutes, the mask still contain a fair amount of essence in it. It helps to moisturize and soothe all types of skin.

So, here are the list of my favorites for the month of April! I'll be posting up longer post on a few of the things I've mentioned above. Stay tune for more updates next month!

Ratings 8/10.

The reason why I did not give it a better rating because of it's packaging. It comes in a can and there might be some hygienic problem occurring unless you use a spatula for hygienic purposes but due to its affordable price and great benefits I decided to increase it's rating.

*New Ratings 9/10
