Do you get that last bit out of your bottle?
Friday, 6 November 2009
This is slightly embarrassing to admit but I have a habit of getting every last bit from my skin care products, especially if they’re costly. With tubes, it’s easy as I only need to cut them open. But with other types of packaging, it’s not so straight forward. The best that I can do is to tilt them upside down so that the cream or lotion can flow out and then using a cotton swab to dig the balance out.

Is it okay to mix our skin care products?
Thursday, 5 November 2009
More often than not, I get comments from readers about mixing their skin care products and I wonder if it’s a good thing. However, after reading The Japanese Skincare Revolution by Chizu Saeki and talking to Susan of True Beauty, it seems that some mixing may not be a bad idea. Here, I’ll chart out some of my thoughts on this topic.

Why can’t organic skin care be alcohol-free?
Tuesday, 3 November 2009
I have a major gripe! Over the weekend, I was looking to get a milk cleanser and checked those new organic brands at Watsons. All of them contain alcohol and some had the ingredient listed second on the list! This really bothers me and it doesn’t matter if they use plant-based alcohol or that the ingredient is certified as organic. Why can’t organic and natural skin care products be alcohol-free?
