Best Make Up Base

The secret to a flawless face lies in the combination of the make up base and the foundation.  The base acts as a smooth barrier that will not clog your pores and allow your foundation to glide on easily.  Without the base, your foundation will run and your face will shine.  So which base will provide this? And the winner is:

Real Doll Make Up Base

This is a Japanese product and it glides on your skin.  It is not sticky nor heavy.  It disappears right into the skin as if you have nothing on.  Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

Best Acne Spot Treatment

OK, so it does seem like the only thing I talk about is acne.  Asian skin is oilier than other skin types and therefore is more prone to acne.  As you all know, once you get a pimple, it may take weeks until the final last trace of redness disappears.  The best method is prevention (see my previous post titled Get Rid of Acne).  But when you do get a pimple, you must act fast!  You must stop it at its tracks.  I have found the best acne spot treatment out there.  And the winner is:

Lioele A.C. Zero Night Spot Trouble Hunter

It is a Korean product and it is awesome!  Don't believe me?  The next time you see the onset of one of those little suckers on your face, just use a Q-tip and dab some of this pink liquid ointment on the spot.  Your pimple should diminish the next day.  This product is not expensive.  What do you have to lose?        

Get Rid of Acne!

If I had known during my teenage years what I know now, my face would not have been populated with dozens of reddish pimples ready to erupt at any time of the day.  All the Clearasils and acne fighting ointments available at the local Duane Reades did not work for me.  What I didn't know back then was that Asian skin is quite different from other skin types.  Therefore, we would greatly benefit from skincare products specifically designed for our skin.  I have scoured high and low for the skincare regimen that helped me get rid of my acne.  I have found the holy grail of skincare.  And the winner is:

SKII Facial Treatment Essence

Yes, it is quite expensive.  But if you add up all the products you have bought but never worked, then this is worth your investment.  After cleansing your face at night, just use a cotton pad and wipe your face all over with this product.  Your pimples will slowly disappear and your skin will be smoother and softer.  And guess what!  Your pimples will not return as long as you use this product every night.  I am not a spokesperson for this product, just someone who wishes to share this beauty secret with all of you.
