#IngredientsLowdown 95: #SOFINA #Skincare - IP Base #Essence, #Lotion and #Moisturizer
.
Sometime back I said I would do an ingredients review on these @sofina_sg products, and I'm finally getting around to doing it! .
💦#sofinaip essence (blue bottle): this is a really cool foam essence, to be used after cleansing but before other skincare. The foam contains carbon dioxide which is supposed to have skincare benefits. It mostly has humectants (dipropylene glycol), and emollients (dimethicone, C12-15 alkyl benzoate), as well as various polymers and things like that. Overall it's a nice if basic essence, and a nice first step in the routine.
.
💦Lotion: This is the 2nd step, and also mostly contains various humectants (dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, glycerin), and various carbomers and polymers, similar to the essence, just without the carbon dioxide. There is some alcohol (8th ingredient), but it doesn't seem to be there in overly high amounts. For those who like plant ingredients, there's a few in here too (e.g. Ginger root).
.
💦Emulsion: This 3rd step has much of the same humectants that featured in the previous steps (dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, glycerin), but this has more emollients (dimethicone, stearyl alcohol, squalane), although overall the product feel still isn't too heavy. Some of the ingredients are really interesting (phytosphingosine, cholesterol), and could be beneficial for skin. There are also quite a few plant extracts here for those who like that (horse chestnut, ginger root etc.)
.
💦I think these #SOFINAsg products do show a care into formulating along the brands philosophy, with each step as intended (e.g. CO2 in the 1st step, a more emollient product in the 3rd step), and you can tell the brand has put in effort with the formulas, and it's not just a "copy and paste" type job. Worth checking out if you're into #asianskincare!

Money does buy happiness if you know what to buy 🐱💕

Couldn't bear to leave my newest @paulandjoe_beaute eyecandies as I travel so I got their minis (swipe second pic) to follow me along my trip! Love love love the primer and foundation as it gives my skin radiance, conditions skin and keeps it hydrated with infused orange flower water and 2 additional types of sodium hyaluronate. 💦 The powder puff is also super soft and luxurious... Ok I admit, I've got seperation anxiety with my makeup 🤦🏻‍♀️💖

You will only be genuinely happy with someone else when you first learn to love yourself. ❤️ When there is so much pain in your heart and you can’t even put to words how to describe it, you will eventually lose yourself. Today, pain has slapped me so hard and made me realize that what I feel right now will only make me stronger. I have been so naive letting a person in my life to break my trust at the end. I am left with no choice but to rebuild my walls in order for me to reflect, heal, and eventually find myself back.

I hope everyone who is hurting right now will find the love and peace we all deserve. You are all amazing. ❤️

Rejuvenated and recharged to take on the last week of May 💪🏻 Where did all the time go?! .
Have not enjoyed a body scrub and massage in a long while, I’m so glad to have tried @lasourcespa! Stepped in to great service and luxurious ambience, my masseuse was so friendly and ensured I was comfortable throughout. I picked the latest La Source Angelica Gold Scrub that uses the prized Angelica Sinesis herb to detoxify and soothe senses, before indulging in an aromatherapy massage to unwind. Can’t wait to be back for more! x
