Review: Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub

Clean & Clear

I remember being inlove with this Cleanser when I was a teen. 14? 15?
don't know why I switched or used something else, maybe I wanted something new?

I posted the Cleanser that I have been using for years.
Here's a post that I posted if you want to know more about it:

Here's a little story (skip this part if you want :D):

as I was saying... 

......so I was looking around at Tesco's skin care/cosmetics section 

(I had this coupon that I wanted to spend, yes being a smart buyer like me)

and I saw this being on sale for £2.00. since I couldn't decide what to buy,

just thought, 'okay, might as well try this again'. (in Tagalog 'bahala na si Batman' lol i kid, i kid.)

(as I said, I was inlove with it's formula)

and so.. check out.. blah blah.

and here I am talking to myself while typing a review for you. :D

REVIEW:

Price: I bought this on sale - £2.00 / rp. £3.15

Packaging: Plastic, Squeezy tube, for some reason I always break the cap. >_<

Smell: Fresh, light smell

Texture: Has small blue beads for exfoliation; not too creamy, not too watery, in the middle. oh, It's Oil-free too! :D

Suitable for: Normal ~ Dry ~ Oily. I not so sure about people who has acne-prone or sensitive skin, because of the beads, this might be a little harsh for your skin so I don't quite recomend this.

Everytime I use this, my skin feels so soft smooth and clean! It really takes off the oil and dirt build up on my pores. My skin also doesn't feel as dry after using this. to me, this is just perfect for my skin (I have a Oily-Combination skin type btw if you are wondering.)

after years and years of looking for the perfect exfoliator for my skin, I never thought I'd come back to this. I'm glad that I did. so happy! and again, I'm inlovee :).

Overall:

  =   1/2   (4 1/2 Stars)

some may not like this, but I doooo.. hooo hooo ooo.. ♫ ♪

Oat Cleanser

Currently using to Cleanse my face 

 ○ Oat Cleanser ○

Why Oats?

• Not only Oats are good for your Body it is also good for your skin. 

(I eat porridge everyday-healthy eating) ♥

• -Oats are generally considered "healthful", or a health food, being touted commercially as nutritious. 

   - Its consumption is believed to lower bad cholesterol, and possibly to reduce the risk of heart disease.

   -Oats are the only cereal containing a globulin or legume-like protein, avenalin, as the major (80%) storage protein.

*wikipedia

• Using oats as a cleanser will help your skin to lessen the redness and provide gentle exfoliation giving you a Smooth, Soft and Brightened skin! wooot! - Great for people with acne prone skin :)

• I first heard this with Bubzbeauty♥ so then just recently, I tried to see how it'll work on my skin.

- She only used Oatmeal and to be honest it didn't clean my face but it did soften my skin.

I only added one thing! (By the way, you could use any type of oatmeal, as long as its oatmeal!) :D
- my favorite cleanser! 
- sorry for some blurred pictures, I was washing my face and taking pictures at the same time; not easy. xD ♥

This is how much I use. You could use more or less depending how you want it :)

Put a little bit of water and squish it like this. you'll see a milky texture and thats okay :)

Skin Care Tips: Cleansing

Skin Care Tips: Cleansing

CLEANSER:

Dry Skin - Cream Cleansers are best. They Remove dirt but won't strip your face from essencial oils.

Oly Skin - Gel type Cleansers works best for Oily Skin. Because they absorb excess oils without drying out your dry spots even more.

Combination Skin - Look for Gentle and Water-Soluble Cleansers and what suits you best.

Sensitive/Acne-prone Skin - Foam Cleansers best because their gentle enough to wash your skin without irritating it.

Normal Skin - Use Cleanser that Suits your skin best! :)

Cleanser I use atm (Oat Cleanser)♥: http://criseldadavid.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/oat-cleanser.html 

Regardless of texture, It always MUST be GENTLE!

It is IMPORTANT to get rid of the wastes in your pores. Not removing these will cause pimples and break-outs that we hate so cleansing your face is one of the keys for obtaining a clear skin.

--------

1. Washing your face

- Use warm water to wet your face: warm water will open your pores and will help your cleanser clean your pores more effectively :) (everyone should know this.)

2. Don't Rub

- Don't rub your face T__T do it gently and with love ofcourse! I know rubbing your face sometimes makes it faster to clean and take your make up off but doing this will make your skin sag. worst, premature wrinkles. 

3. Instead..

- Use upward motion and wash your face gently. Foam Cleansers are example of gentle cleansers - again, good for people who has acne prone skin. :)
(BTW, Before putting your cleanser, rub your hands together til it foams up. that way its more gentle than putting it on your face right away.)

4. Rinsing

- Use Cold water: by doing this, you're closing your pores. locking it from, dirt and bacteria avoiding break outs. :)

5. Pat your skin dry

- Don't use your body towel to wipe off the water: Patting your face gently will make your skin absorb the water and add that extra moisture on your face - one of the things I definitely dont skip.

- If you dont want to do that, use a paper towel instead: Its more cleaner than your towel! trust me! do your research! :D

Double Cleansing - After using makeup

I use the double cleansing step everytime I wash my face having makeup all day.

even if I just used BB Cream, I'd still use this method.

Double cleansing will ensure that your skin is thoroughly clean.

How I do this:

I first do how I would normally wash my face (exfoliators) - this first step is only washing off the makeup not your skin.

second, I wash my face with foam wash - for the second time, use a more gentle cleanser rather than repeating the first step. repeating will do harm on your skin so remember to always be gentle. :) ♥

424 Washing Routine

4 minutes ~ Remove makeup with Cleansing Oil

2 minutes ~ Massaging your face with Foam Cleanser

4 minutes ~ Thoroughly washing with water

I learned this Trick from Suzy (Miss A) She's so pretty I love her! ♥
