Update: Beauty Foot Mask Plus L'Occitane Shea Butter

 

The 5th day after treatment 

The 8th day after treatment

This is a part of a followup from the post on May 5th about the Beauty Foot Mask from Japan that I bought from Sasa Cosmetics. I thought it's more useful to post some real pictures of my first experience of using this foot mask. My only regret is, I don't have before pictures. I only have after, but I guess it's good enough for you girls out there to judge this exfoliating foot mask. Don't say I didn't warn you, it's horrible looking. If you ask me if it's worth it to purchase this foot mask, i would give it a yes for this one if I am in US. Why? Yea, it would cost me a fortune to have a foot spa in US. In Malaysia, nah...i pay the same price as this foot mask to have someone scrub my feet for me. I got smooth beautiful feet instantly.

My conclusion: It works and it's easy, just wear that plastic foot mask for 2 hours while you can watch TV or read magazines. That's the pro. The con is, uhm....you see the horrible looking feet pictures, right. It's in the process of exfoliating. You will have ugly feet for a week though and you must wear socks, otherwise you will end up picking up your dead cells all over your house. So, you decide. 

Reminder: Please make sure you put on some nice foot cream to keep your newly exfoliated beautiful feet stay longer. You can try Shea Butter Foot Cream from L'Occitane. It's a bit expensive, you only use a little dab of this cream and it works wonder for your entire feet. One tube can last you very long. It's very rich and concentrated and all natural ingredients. It's the perfect cream for those organic and chemical free fans. I usually put on socks after i rub this on my feet .You will have the grease on your tile when you walk on your floor after shea butter treatment without putting on socks or slipper.

Dental care

I used to have my teeth checked every six months in US which back then i had dental insurance and it was covered and paid zero to have my regular teeth cleaning. I would definitely not wasting it. I have to say i was more into my face than my smile. I was rather late to realize how equally important between skincare and dental care. I am shamed to tell the truth that i only started to see dentist when i had this unbearable toothache. It was one of the wisdom teeth. Got struck inside and got infected terribly. After that incident, i have never paid more attentions to my dental health than ever. Soon enough,I got all four of wisdom teeth removed since they didn't sit right inside my mouth. For the time being, i am still planning to have my teeth aligned properly and nicely so that i not only have that gorgeous face but also amazing smile. Invisalign, yeah...i am coming to it.

I was made to believed Colgate Total is the best toothpaste out there and it's highly recommended by many dentists and highly reviewed by many health care professionals. I have been using it for a very long time now. I personally think it's superb. They have couple flavors for you to choose

And just recently I had my teeth checked and cleaned in Malaysia since it's cheaper than in US without insurance, i told my dentist that i got this weird pain on one side my teeth when i eat or drink something really cold. He told me not to worry too much about it if it doesn't hurt. He gave me some samples to try and see if it helps. I think this should be a very good product since it's recommended by him. I will try and see what happens. This is a professional product. It's not sold in any regular stores.

SK-II Cellumination Essence

I have to admit, I am not a big fan of department stores cosmetic especially SK-II. When i first encounter this brand couple years ago, my first reaction was like, this is crazy expensive. I would never imagine myself buying their stuff. I am a highly maintenance girl and always buy from highly rated products with promising results and ingredients listed that i all know about. O well, i guess i am just one of the victims of watching too much beauty talks show - 女人我最大 (Ladies First). I believe if you are an Asian female, you must have watched or at least heard of it.

I have drained my wallet couple weeks ago to purchase this so called newest breakthrough whitening product from SK-II - SK-II Cellumination Essence RM449 30ml. It's so expensive that i regretted couple days after i purchased it without googled their ingredients and reviews beforehand as i always do before purchasing any products.

I am still not sure if this product works for me. But i do know for sure that it does give me little zits sometimes. I try to convince myself that i do look fairer and have nicer color complexion. But i guess i am going to give myself a little more time to prove it. It says to use it day and night but I cannot do that to my half oily skin especially given the hot & humid weather in Malaysia, i only apply it either in the morning or at night. The only comforting reason for me not to feel too bad buying this expensive product is, it's more expensive in US - $150. Below is the information of this product from SK-II website for your reference.

SK-II Cellumination Essence (Hydrating Serum) hydrates and refines the surface to boost skin’s natural, healthy-looking glow and to help diminish the appearance of discoloration for a more even tone.

* It conditions and refines for a skin surface with more even texture and transparency that boosts light transmission within the surface. More light transmission creates a healthy looking natural glow and makes the look of discolorations such as age spots have a less obvious contrast to natural skin color.
* It contains concentrated SK-II Pitera that helps lead to improvement in overall skin appearance.
* It permeates quickly into the skin and gives a light and smooth feeling when applied.
