I'm sure many of us have been wondering- 'What is the trick/magic behind that Korean flawless look?'. And i can't stop ogling at the super hot & cute looking Korean girls (SNSD, KARA, TARA, Song Hye Kyo and more), they are always spotted with perfect flawless skin and makeup. Out of curiosity, I have asked several makeup artists as well as researching online..

My answer is- First of all, you need to take good care of your skin. If you have good skin to begin with, you don't need too much makeup. Followed by using a good product to present the flawless, smoothness, softness + ability to cover your flaws yet adds glow on your skin.

During my trip to Korea, I was addicted to CC cream! And i must say that it is by far, my fav buy and it does wonders for me! FYI, CC (colour control) cream is the successor of BB (Blemish Balm) cream, aims to provide natural looking skin coverage. In fact, it's BETTER/IMPROVED version. ALL IN ONE product, acts as a primer and foundation, provides UV protection with SPF 30/PA++, wrinkles repair and whitening- perfect for lazy ass like myself!

On lazy casual day

Its hygienic dispenser ensures that the product is not contaminated when unused. Just one pump is enough for my face (including 2-3 layers required to cover my horrifying dark circles). And also, you can dispense amount that you require- NO WASTAGE!

Its colour-changing blending technique will match your skin tone for an everyday natural look! From white (vaguely lilac) to beige really quickly, i was very much impressed with the way the colour changes – and it didn’t even require much effort. And also, I noticed that there's a familiar pleasant smell.. and it's the smell of "deep sea water" products.

 I have tried several cc creams and i love them more than BB creams. The reason why i gave up on BB creams is- it tend to give a "white cast" on my face, makes me look like a ghost or people may think that i smack on too much foundation. CC cream leaves a a good mix of dewy and matte finishing and matches my skin tone better. The coverage is light and gives me a healthy & glowy finishing and leaves no feeling of thick/sticky makeup sitting on your face. If you feel that the coverage isn't sufficient, you can use it as a base before adding light layer of loose powder over it.

Note: This product has pinkish undertone while my skin is yellow undertone. Hence you may see slight colour difference.

As you can see, my pictures were taken on different days with different makeup & outfit. I have tried this product for over a week and it didn't give me any outbreak/problems. I love CC creams!

I've got a series of awesome products to share with you.

Off the Face range aims to help those with skin problems such as blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged and clogged pores. It effectively clears the skin and visibly reduces the appearance of pores.

Contains: • Amazon white clay to purify skin, control excessive sebum and tightens pores. •Antiroba seeds that enhances elasticity of enlarged pores and at the same time sterilizes • Babassu oil to control oil and water balance for a moist skin without feeling greasy

Step 1: Cleansing

Off The Face Pore Tightening White Clay Foam is gentle cleanser that effectively remove impurities and blackheads. It’s Amazon white clay nature will absorbs excess sebum and tightens pores.

It's texture isn't as creamy or watery as typical cleanser and it doesn't produce much "bubbles/lather" but it does its job very well. After washing it off with water, my skin feels really light, refresh and soft- like baby skin! I'm impressed and i like the fact that it doesn't produce too much bubbles/lather, makes it easier to wash off quickly.

 Step 2: Toner

 Off The Face Pore Tightening Toner gently cleanses your skin and clears away dead surface skin and refines rough, uneven patches. It penetrates deep into pores so they appear smaller and less visible.

Don't forget your neck area!

Look at the amount of dirt after wiping my face & neck! Faints

Step 3: Serum

 Off The Face Pore Tightening Serum refines and mattifies  your skin, making them look smoother with smaller pores. Recommended to target on the T-zone and oily area, delivering a soft, smooth finish that radiates.

It is very light and non sticky, doesn't give a greasy feeling.

2 additional awesome products in the same series that I really adore:

Off The Face Pore Tightening Oil Heating Gel

Off The Face Pore Tightening Oil Heating Gel is a heating gel that opens pores with warm heat, melts blackheads, and absorbs waste and sebum in pores. Can be used on the face but best used for T-zone area.

Usage: After cleansing your face, apply sufficient amount and leave it on for 5-10 mins before washing off. Personally, I like to massage it for awhile when it's warm as though I am exfoliating my Tzone gently. However, I don't recommend you to use too often, just once a week is fine :)

I've tried it on my T zone and it feels awesome right after washing off. Could feel the effect INSTANTLY like magic. Btw, I have tried similar products but i like this better because this is more moisturizing + the heat is comfortable, not too hot. Definitely one of my favorite of this series and I strongly recommend this to all of you.

 Off The Face Pore Tightening White Clay Mask

Off The Face Pore Tightening White Clay Mask absorbs oil, dirt and toxins that clog pores on your skin. It also helps in minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. Leaving your skin rejuvenated and revitalized.

Texture: Thick clay texture, not watery/creamy

 Apply it all over your mask and leave it on for 10-15mins, it will dry up and wash it off! Feels real good after pampering my skin and I wanna keep my skin young & radiant.

As i age, i realized that it is a challenge to "maintain" because of the amount of stress and late night sleeps that I'm going through; that's when good skincare products & regime comes in. Start your skincare regime right now, don't drag/procrastinate any further!

Btw, all products from this series cost $39.90 each.
