Lactacyd White Intimate & Revitalize Daily Feminine Wash

Most women are well aware of feminine hygiene care. However, the importance of proactive usage is often disregarded. Feminine wash is not your usual body wash, which is designated for the V-zone - preventing infections, odour and irritation.

Lactacyd believes that every inch of the female body deserves the best care in order to be fair and flawless, especially the intimate area.

Lactacyd's latest innovations - White Intimate and Revitalize, aim to better meet the needs of women.

White Intimate

White Intimate is Singapore's 1st ever feminine wash with skin lightening benefits and also the 1st of its kind made with natural ingredients. 90% of women witnessed visible lightening after 12 weeks and 67% witnessed skin lightening in 4 weeks.

It contains marine-based Algowhite, plant-based Actipone-B ingredients and milk-based Lactoserum/Lactic acid. And, it is dermatologically tested safe to be used for the intimate area.

Revitalize

Revitalize is their new youth reviving feminine wash, which makes its Asia debut in Singapore. 98% of women witnessed moisturizing effect in 4 weeks and almost 50% witnessed firming effect in 4 weeks.

It contains gentle cleansing and anti-aging properties like Vitamin E, collagen and Trehalose (a long-lasting deodorant moisturizer) - rejuvenate skin, leaving it firm and supple.

Retail price: $2.50 (60ml), $13.90 (250ml)

You can find Lactacyd White Intimate and Revitalize at all leading pharmacies. 

See the difference between the old and new flip top caps. 

The new ones are sooo much easier to flip open!

Both Lactacyd White Intimate and Revitalize texture feels the same, which reminds me of body wash. They smell like that too. I love the scent of WI, which has a musky floral scent. I was that close to using it for the whole body! It smells heavenly :X As for Revitalize, it smells good too... sweet like honey!

I started using WI for 2 weeks (I notice slight skin lightening), then R for the next 2 weeks (has a better moisturizing effect than WI). They lather well, which cleanse my V-zone effortlessly. My V-zone feels soothed, refreshed and moisturized. Due to Singapore's crazy humid weather, I do experience skin irritation (itchiness) at times. Using the feminine wash does help reduce itchiness.

Feminine washes are god-send for me, especially at the "time-of-the-month". Well, I've repeated myself for the million-th time (lol). I really dislike the stale bloody smell... irritates the hell out of me! The "deodorant effect" of the feminine wash helps to keep my V-zone fresh for a longer period of time. 

Ever since I started using feminine washes, my V-zone feels much cleaner and fresher. I've not looked back since. They are ultra gentle on the skin, very soothing for my V-zone after getting Brazilian waxed.

In the package from Lactacyd/EK Media, there's also this bottle of oatmeal and bath glove... for DIY Oatmeal Scrub!

DIY Oatmeal Scrub

• Take a palm full of oatmeal and run your fist in lukewarm water for 15s
• Gently open and clench your fist to allow the water to soften the oatmeal
• Slowly massage the oatmeal onto your face and/or body in cicular motions for a couple of mins
• Rinse off using lukewarm water to reveal brighter and smoother skin

Oatmeal contains minerals that help soothe and heal even the most sensitive skin types, relief itchiness, redness, dryness and minor irritations. It naturally absorbs, removes dirt and impurities whilst exfoliating the skin gently. Skin feels softer and smoother.

Have fun DIY-ing! And remember, start using feminine wash for your V-zone (:

Hair Color by Caely: Ash Brown + Pastel Blue & Green

I love trying different hair colors. It's quite fun, seeing fun colors on my hair instead of the usual browns. I wanted a color that I've never tried before, which is blue (one of my lucky colors). 

Caely asked what color(s) I want and I told her 'a mix of blue & purple'. She suggested blue & green, which is a better color contrast. 

I like how my hair color turned out in the end - ash brown with patches of pastel blue & green at the sides. Only the pastel blue & green parts are bleached first, to bring out the colors. 

Love the alternate blues and greens!

This side is more of an ombre feel. Alternate two-toned locks, which brings attention to the longer side of the asymmetrical bob.

This hair color combination is loud enough for me. I can't imagine going fully blue & green :S

Thanks Caely!

Do look for her if you want a hair makeover, be it hair cut and/or color. She's like a hair magician... really good!

Anyway, it has been almost a month already. I'm thinking of doing a new hair color before my birthday next week... most likely is lavender ash! :P

LoveMore Snail Mucin Healing & Hydrating Mask

This new mask from LoveMore is enriched with snail mucin, a precious ingredient commonly found in Korean skincare. If you don't already know, snail mucin encourages natural skin repairing. Don't feel disgusted... it is good for your skin! 

LoveMore Snail Mucin Healing & Hydrating Mask deep hydrates your skin and heals epidermis tissues for a renewed and younger looking complexion with copper peptide GHK-Cu (anti-aging, firming, anti-wrinkle). 

It is also infused with collagen fibre and proteoglycans to form a better filler substance to "fill-in" skin tissues, forming an invisible protective layer to lock in moisture.

SYN®-HYCAN will help boost the hyaluronan content of your skin, leaving it look younger and fresher.

"Love mail from Chilie" :P

- Ingredient list -

The mask material is featherly soft and extremely thin (0.02mm), exactly the same as the French Caviar Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Mask I reviewed earlier on. It adheres well and does not fall off during mask-ing. Has a light pleasant scent. 

There is quite a lot of left-over essence, which I applied on my neck, hands and legs. The lightweight essence has a slight initial slimy consistency. Thankfully, the slimy feel is all gone after it is fully absorbed into the skin (after patting). The absorption rate is faster than most masks I've tried.

I love soothing and hydrating masks like this, which calms facial redness effectively. This is really good for those bad skin days, as skin feels and looks rejuvenated after mask-ing. 

A box of 5pcs, is priced at only $8.90. Very affordable, in my opinion. You can always get 1pc ($2) to try if you are skeptical. 

Hope my review helps. Thanks for reading!
