The technical issues and coordination must have been a chore, thanks for working them out to make this all possible.
I will be working extra hard on it despite my recovery from my last visit from the hospital. I am still currently in bandages at the moment as I blog. *cringe at the thought of staying the hospital any longer*
Do keep on supporting me as well for the next part. I really appreciate all the help I have gotten though the many stages of this challenge.
From the deepest depth of my heart, I give you my sincere thanks and appreciation. *bows earnestly*
Wish me luck and a speedy recovery.
Without realizing it, I have been talking quite a fair bit about Bio-essence’s BB creams.
You girls have heard about it so now, how about I teach you girls on how to maximize the potential of it. To ensure you get to gain more than what you spend on it.
How to stretch your dollar on any cosmetic products that you use?
It is without any doubt, the implementation of a proper skincare regime.
Why?
Good, healthy skin is the fundamentals of flawless skin as there is lesser problems and flaws to conceal.
Healthier skin is easy to work on and results in more beautiful makeup outcome as well.
Please note that makeup is an extension of skincare and not just to cover your flaws.
Less at times is more. *feels a lil guilty*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The basic skincare regime is just a 3 step routine of:
Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize.
Not forgetting to apply sun block if you’re heading outside as UV rays cause photo aging that results in fine lines and wrinkles.
Though at this age and generation with just the basic 3 step regime is no longer enough with the natural pollutants in the air and your unhealthy lifestyle of late nights and over-stressed skin.
With me falling deeply in love with Bio-essence products, today I will be talking about how Bio-essence can help fulfill your additional skincare needs.
Ever wonder if Bio-essence is able to meet your strict criteria?
Not to worry as Bio-essence is the NO.1 facial care brand in Singapore and won the Best Asian Brand for 2 consecutive years in 2009 and 2010. *cheers*
Thus rest assured as you are in good hands.
