Waterful Skin

Our skin has a hydro-lipid layer (protective film made up of water and natural lipids) which will slow down the dehydration process, protect from external aggressions as well as maintain the skin’s pH value.  However, the skin moisture levels drop easily many reasons such as climatic conditions, lifestyle and eating habits.

Well, I flipped through magazine one day and got attracted by the advertisement“Be waterful everyday with laneige for healthy, hydrated skin! “Who doesn’t want to have healthy and hydrated skin? So Iwent to Laneige counter in Sunway Pyramid to know more bout it.

I’m lucky to meet a friendly promoter, SheiAine. She is good in explaining all the hydration range products to me.  She observed my skin as well to check whether is the range suitable my skin type.

Laneige is a popular Korean Skin Care Product optimal for hydration and moisturisation.What makes me love this brand more is that my favorite actress, Song HyeKyo as their spokesperson =D The first product that caught my attention is their world best selling product - Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX.  It is a night mask, which you can wear it overnight to keep your skin moisturized! This amazing product has won the Cosmo Asian Beauty Awards 2011.  What make it so amazing are the ingredients in it:

Beta Glucan – Skin regeneration effect

Ceramide SLN – Moisture loss protection

Hunza Apricot Extract – Skin purificationChestnut Extract – Improving skin texture

80ml ; RM100 ; For all skin type

Since I’ve not used this product before, Shei Aine gave me 2 samples to try out.  Besides, she gave me Laneige Water Bank Essence and Laneige Sun Block Aqua + samples as well. (She wouldn’t give me the samples to try out if she isn’t confident with her products, I guess :P)

Laneige Water Bank Essence has been promoted in “nuyou’ and  “Reader’s choice”.  Based on the reviews from reliable sources, this product can instantly dampers skin with ample moisture and form natural moisture barrier on skin surface as it consists of:

Bio Ducelli – Skin turn over

Vita-Mineral Nano Water – Efficient moisture delivery

Hydro Motor – Moisture supply

Hydro Circulator – Water circulation in skin

60ml ; RM165 : For all skin type

Laneige Sun Block Aqua + is the daily sun protection that supplies moisture to retain suppleness of skin. 

50ml ;RM109 ; For all skin type

So…… these are the samples I got from SheiAine after consultation. 

Okay, this is what I always do, get some samples and try it out first before buying it (if there’re samples).  At least you will know how do the products react on your skin ;)

My review:

1)Laneige Sleeping Pack_EX

Texture: Baby blue gel, which has very light and watery texture. 

Scent: refreshing and calming marine-like scent (my type) :)

How I apply it: After cleansing and toning, I squeeze a pea-sized amount of it and spread over the face from inner to outer part along the skin texture.  Then I leave it till the next morning.

* The recommended amount is 2.5cm in diameter but it takes quite a long time for the product to absorb into my skin. So I think <2.5cm in diameter is sufficient coz it absorbs into my skin faster without the greasy feeling.

Effect of the product: After I rinse my face on the second day, my skin feels smooth and looks more radiant.  Plus, it doesn’t cause any irritation to my skin, which is a plus point.

Would I purchase this product? : Yes, definitely! After I finish all the samples :P

2) Laneige Water Bank Essence

Texture: Lighter than moisturizer but creamier than serum, it gives a watery texture as if it melts into your skin

Scent: Cooling and refreshing smell

How I apply it: I use it whenever I am not using the Sleeping Pack.  After cleansing and toning, I squeeze a hazelnut-sized amount and gently spread it from the centre of the face towards the contours.  After that, I cover my entire face with both hands to enhance penetration. 

Effect of the product: It melts on skin and the skin “drinks” it all up instantly.  I like the feeling of damp skin and suppleness!

Would I purchase this product?: Yes I will :)

Result after applying Laneige Water Bank Essence for 5 consecutive days.  I hope you guys can see the difference though it is not very visible . And FYI it's my hand. :) 

3) Laneige Sun Block Aqua +

Texture: Light texture and non sticky compared to the sunblock I use previously

Scent: Fragrance

How I apply it: Sun Block is the last step of skincare.  I spread it evenly on my face before applying make up

Effect of the product: Amazingly it gives my complexion a glow an mask mirror imperfections.  It is non-sticky too.

Would I purchase this product? : Yes I will :)

Do drop by the nearest Laneige counter to find out more! Enjoy guys!
