Celeteque Facial Moisturizer Review


Celeteque’s Facial Moisturizer with triple moisturizing system is a water-based facial moisturizer well-recommended for oily skin. Dermatologist-tested, it is safe to use everyday even during hot and/or humid days.



How I Got It
The weather for that month has been unusually cold everyday and my skin was very dry because of the weather. One day, I ran out of facial moisturizer. I have no time to buy one because of our tight schedule in school but fortunately, my classmate gave me this facial moisturizer and he just requested a nice snack in exchange. We both have acne-prone skin and we even visit the same derma clinic every month for acne facial treatments, so I thought his spare facial moisturizer will work fine for me (since I suppose we also have the same skin type).



In Use
Using Celeteque’s Facial Moisturizer is easy as it has a water-like consistency. I guess that’s just right because it is water-based and oil-free. Spreading it over the skin is very easy and although it is water-based, it moisturizes very well. I found it perfect for my acne-prone skin as I didn’t have any breakouts while using it.

What I Like About It

  • Water-Based and Oil-Free – only few moisturizers in the market are truly water-based and oil-free so people with acne-prone skin, like me, will definitely find it great.
  • Non-Comedogenic – it doesn't clog pores so it won’t leave breakouts behind.
  • Hypo-Allergenic – it is perfect for sensitive skin!
  • Fragrance-Free – it contains no fragrance so it has no alcohol component as well. I have asthma and I’m having problems with fragrant skin products but thankfully this one is fragrance-free.

Recommendation
If you have acne-prone skin and you can’t find the right facial moisturizer that won’t give you breakouts, then Celeteque’s Water-Based Facial Moisturizer might work well for your skin. It can moisturize skin well but it won’t leave your skin oily. You can also use it as a base for make-up in order to have a nice full coverage.

Sophie Green Tea and Apple Refreshing Mask Review


This peel-off mask from Sophie Paris is a great way of relieving stress in your face. It is made from green tea and apple extracts known helpful in removing dead skin cells, making skin smooth and firm.


How I Got It
I got this peel-off mask from my classmate, a direct-selling agent of Sophie Paris Philippines. I just browsed the catalog and I’m glad to find this Green Tea and Apple Refreshing Mask. I thought I badly need it after a whole week of stress in school!

In Use
After ordering, the product was delivered to me within 3 days. It has a glue-like consistency and it is quite hard to spread over the entire face. It has tiny little beads and it smells like a hair styling gel. But when I finished spreading it over my face, it feels like a bucket of ice was poured to me! It is very cool and refreshing to the skin and it even dries out fast. After 5 minutes, I managed to peel-off the mask in one piece. I felt that my skin was rehydrated and rejuvenated, just like what I would look for after a stressful week.


Recommendation
Overall, Sophie Paris Green Tea and Apple Refreshing Mask is a great peel-off mask if you want to have a relaxing treat for your skin after a whole day of work. It literally relieves the stress I feel as I believe that everything is reflected in our face, so it is important to have a nice treat that will save our skin from the effects of stress. At a cheap value which I could definitely afford, the peel-off mask can last for more than 30 applications and it didn’t give me any nasty breakouts!
