My 3-Step Skincare Routine for Troubled Skin: Biotherm Purefect Skin

I'm not a teenager anymore, but (at times) I still suffer from shiny skin, breakouts, visible pores, etc. Being a full-fledged adult, my imperfections tend to form in the U-zone (chin, cheeks and around the mouth) now. Sad but true. To battle against troubled skin, I went back to the basic 3-step skincare routine, using only cleanser, toner and moisturizer. I took almost 2 months to purefect my skin.

Back to the basics...

Purefect Skin Anti-Shine Purifying Cleansing Gel

Step 1: Cleanse

Having a thoroughly cleansed face is that important. A good cleanser cleanses well, without stripping the skin of its moisture. Yes, it does just that. I am amazed that it foams up very well. Seriously, I ain't expecting that. See the amount of white foamy goodness I get? I like that it is not harsh on the skin at all. And, my skin doesn't feel uncomfortably tight after cleansing. I love the fresh scent... very refreshing and soothing! I reckon it's the signature scent of Purefect Skin, coz the toner and moisturizer smell exactly the same.

Step 2 - Tone

This toner will be good for those with oily/imperfect skin, but can be rather harsh for dry/normal skin. Now that my skin is no longer troubled, it proves to be too drying for my skin since it contains alcohol, which causes my skin to flake - at the nose area to be specific.

That said, I really enjoyed using the toner when I had troubled skin. It exfoliates the skin gently, removes impurities and preps the skin well for moisturizer application. My skin is freshened up and looks less shiny (mattified).

Step 3 - Moisturize

This feels really lightweight, which is easily absorbed into skin. I appreciate that it is non-sticky, leaving my skin mattified for hours. Moreover, I find that it is pretty hydrating though it is an oil-control product.

All in all, Purefect Skin is indeed perfect purefect for those with troubled skin - tested and proven by yours truly. I find that my skin is less prone to breakouts after sticking to Purefect Skin 3-step skincare routine. Oh yeah~ My skin is back to normal! Thank goodness!

For those with troubled skin, do try out Purefect Skin! Hope my review helps. Thanks for reading (:

Biotherm Purefect Skin

Biotherm has just launched a simple yet complete range -- Purefect Skin. It is a global anti-imperfection skincare solution to target and reduce early and late-onset skin irregularities.

The triple-action formula to reach pure perfection:

anti-shine
anti-pores
anti-imperfection

While imperfections form in the T-zone (forehead and nose) during our teens, adulthood imperfections tend to form in the U-zone (chin, cheeks and around the mouth).

Laminaria digitata - an anti-bacterial weapon from the sea

Purefect Skin taps the powerful anti-bacterial properties of Laminaria digitata extract associated to sebum-regulating zinc. Anti-shine perlite extract completes our skin-perfecting active ingredients.

Purefect Skin leaves the skin's texture refined with a complexion that looks clean and pure, and beautifully hydrated.

Apart from Laminaria digitata & perlite, there are aquatoril (hydrating) and salicylic acid (purifying) ingredients for shiny skin that needs hydration. Soothing Pure Thermal Plankton helps to prevent discomfort, while antioxidant Vitamin E counteracts oxidized free fatty acids.

Anti-shine Purifying Cleansing Gel 125ml - $42

Micro-exfoliating Purifying Toner 200ml - $42

Pure Skin Effect Hydrating Gel 50ml - $49

Firming Up with Biotherm Firm Corrector

Earlier on, I'd introduced Firm Corrector, the new bodycare product of Biotherm. To date, I've used this product for a few weeks. And, you know what? I've seen results! Hmm... not drastic kind BUT enough to be noticed (by my friends) :P

Biotherm Firm Corrector

Well, I'm not new to Biotherm bodycare products. Years ago, I'd used Biotherm Celluli-Choc and it worked pretty well for me. Naturally, I've high hopes for Firm Corrector. I'm glad it works!

The creamy goodness!

I'm in love with the invigorating yet soothing musky scent! Ahh... it smells so good... and it lingers on for a few hours...

By the way, I like that it doesn't have this "normal" hot burning sensation that most slimming products come with. It just feels like a luxurious whipped body cream. A moisturizing relief for my sahara desert skin ♥

Ingredient List

The Massage Technique

To increase the Firming Corrector's efficacy, it is a MUST to apply the cream using the massage technique. It's like doing light workouts at the same time, coz you will be doing the massage technique by yourself. My thighs and arms feel sore the day after, the kind of feeling after a badminton game.

The ultra-rich creamy texture easily melts into the skin upon application, sans stickiness/greasiness. It doubles up as a body moisturizer, which hydrates the skin very well. My sahara desert skin feels so much smoother now.

I haven't use it on my tummy as yet. As for my arms and thighs, they feel/look slightly more toned and firmer than before. My friends remarked that my arms doesn't look as flabby as before (I was wearing a bright pink tube dress baring my arms). It came as a pleasant surprise since I eat as per normal, taking into account that I had 2 x KFC and 1 x Dominos the week before. Obviously, I didn't go on a diet... eating more in fact. The compliments make my day! They don't usually comment such things since I've always been known as the flabby one >.<~~ Hehehe... I definitely feel more confident wearing sleeveless tops and shorter skirts/dresses now (;

Biotherm Firm Corrector retails at $82 (200ml). Available at all Biotherm counters.

Biotherm Firm Corrector [The Redefinition of Firm Skin] + Giveaway!

Last month, I attended the exclusive preview of Biotherm's latest bodycare product launch - the Firm Corrector which gives more toned and firmer skin in just 10 days.

The event was held @ Vivocity atrium.

Biotherm takes bodycare even further, thanks to a powerful ingredient from aquatic biodiversity...

From 20 to 70 years old, the skin loses up to 50% of its collagen, the major component of firmness. It loses its elasticity, wrinkles and begins to sag.

Biotherm concentrates the firming capabilities of L. ochroleuca extract in a global re-firming, as a re-compacting skincare solution. With Firm Corrector, the skin regains its youthful toned appearance, suppleness and firmness.

After 10 days:

Firmness: +9.7%
Skin elasticity: +12%
Tonicity: +24.8%

Ingredients:

L. ochroleuca - firmess and density
Mother of pearls - radiant skin and uniformity
Tensing polymer, PTP - tightening efficacy
Vegetal oils - hydration and nutrition

Firm Corrector's ultra-rich, luxurious texture is ideal for gentle application. It is non-sticky and non-oily, which allows ease of application and absorption into the skin.

The creamily smooth texture provides a fresh skin sensation, delivering instant hydration and an immediate glow and tensing effect due to the inclusion of nacre and a film-forming polymer in its formula. The skin is visibly transformed, coupled with an invigorating scent of fruity woody notes.

We got to try out some of the bodycare products.
