Gaga over Skin Food

Okay, I've never been one to gush and talk about a product I have just been using for a mere 3 days, but this one's an exemption, I guess.

My good friend Ninette traveled to South Korea over the long weekend. I asked her to buy for me an Eyebrow colour from Skin Food. I have never owned and used a Skin Food product ever. They have shops here in the Philippines but I find them a bit pricey, although (and there's an emphasis on although) I've read and heard good reviews about their products. So, knowing that Ninette was bound for Seoul, I thought that Skin Food being a Korean product would most likely be way cheaper there.

Birthday Gift from Ninette and
the Skin Food Samples
that came with it
Last Friday, Ninette gave me my Eyebrow cake. Along with it was a package containing some samples of other Skin Food products. It contained:  small bottle of Royal Honey Toner; small bottle of Royal Honey Emulsion; a packet of Royal Honey Mask; a packet of Royal Honey Nutrient Massage Cream; a packet of Black Sugar Mask Wash Off and a packet of Red Bean BB Cream. Since the labels (or instructions) were in Korean, I had to research how to use these sample products properly.

Friday night, I decided to try the Royal Honey Toner and Emulsion combination. I cleansed my face with my usual cleanser and then I followed it up with RH Toner using a wad of cotton. Immediately after using the toner, I noticed that this isn't like the usual face toners I've used, it didn't sting and left my face feeling dry. On the contrary, it left my skin feeling moisturized. But I knew that it cleansed my skin well, saw it on the cotton I've used. After toning, I used the Royal Honey Emulsion. The instructions I got from Skin Food's website is that I am to leave this on my face, like a moisturizer of some sort.

The following morning, I noticed that the big pimple which I have on my left temple area has been reduced significantly. Then I felt my skin was softer than usual. So I thought, hmmm this product must be working. I repeated the same regimen Saturday night. And by Sunday morning without me pricking or doing anything at all about it, my left temple pimple has gone further smaller and is drying up beautifully. :)  This made me, once again go: Hmmmmm...  but this time it came with,  I must definitely buy this product.

And so, later that morning as I did my grocery shopping, I made it a point to drop by Skin Food Mall of Asia. Unfortunately, the Royal Honey line isn't available yet in the country. I was told that most likely, it is a new line only available in Korea for now. Sigh..... That means, I must make tipid  my sample sachets, ha! ha! Good thing, my other good friends, Lai and Carina will be going to Korea by month end. And yes, I've already made pakisuyo  that they buy these items for me in Korea. As early as now, thank you, Lai and Caren! :)

Just a few moments ago, I again applied the RH Mask on my face and let it stay for 10 minutes, then massaged it in circular motions, then I rinsed it off with water. Oh boy, even I couldn't stop touching my own face. My skin just feels so moisturized, soft and clean!

I MUST definitely have these items!
