Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

This jar of mud masque detoxes my pores and deep cleanses my face.

I bought it from Smith and Caughey after my friend recommended it. It's a reasonably big jar - I've been using it for about 5 months now so good value for money too.

First you wash your face with warm water and when your skin is slightly damp, apply thin layer with using mask brush, or just your fingers. I find it easier to use a brush - that way you don't waste much and you can apply it thin & evenly on your face.

When I first used this, it had this burning sensation but after 2 - 3 times, it was OK. I didn't have any other further affects other than my skin feeling extremely clean.

I would recommend this product to people with blemish prone or oily skin - but also for all other skin types.
Use only once a week if you have dry skin.

Leave it on for about 10 minutes. **Remember - don't laugh or frown!! Otherwise it's going to leave lines on your face!!
I usually lie down and listen to my ipod. This helps me relax.
When it's dry to touch, rinse with warm water. And again, I would splash cold water few times just to tighten the pores.

Score: 3 out of 5 - because of burning sensation! otherwise a great deep cleanser

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser

That's my face in the morning.. *HORROR*!!!
If you look closely (not recommended) you would notice I still have acne scars around my mouth - not mustache! :(

I use bubble maker - you can get these from Missha or other Korean cosmetic stores - or buy Loreal Perfect Clean Foaming Face Wash, or Wave by Neutrogena. Thicker & more the bubble, the cleanser penetrates tiny pores in your skin, leaving you face fresh and deep cleansed.

Kiehl's Ultra Faciel Cleanser is perfect to use in the morning - it's gentle, fragrance free, and gives your face hydration and it moisturises, so it doesn't leave your skin dry.


Wash your face with warm water - this helps to loosen your pores.

Put the cleanser on the bubble maker (little sponge that looks like a bun) and create thick foam. Apply foam on your face (looks ridiculous right?) and use your middle & ring finger to gently massage your face.

Rinse with warm water, and then splash cold water few times to close the pores.
