Scrub is very good to lift up the dead skin cell and for other Vitamin or Serum you put on your face and body is absorbing well.

Korean like all natural scrubs, some we can even make it home. Here I compiled some of the info about all natural scrubs that you can make it home.

1. Sugar scrub
This is the easiest one to make, mixed sugar with extra virgin olive oil and raw honey for smoother result, or you can mixed sugar, virgin coconut oil and vanilla essence.  Just make sure you know what your skin type and best ingredients for you.  The white sugar is suitable for sensitive skin. You can make it also with unrefined cane sugar or brown sugar. Mostly to make this scrub, the proportion is 1:1:1 for each ingredient.
for example: if you put 2 table spoons of sugar, put also 2 table spoons of coconut oil and 2 table spoons of raw honey.  But if you put vanilla extract, just add 1 table spoon is enough for nice scents. Add Vitamin E to enrich your skin.

2.  Salt
This sea ingredient is really good to exfoliate your dead skin cell and renew it.  Use fine sea salt to make this scrub, add 1/2 cup of sweet almond oil for every 1 cup of sea salt, drop 5-15 of your favourite essential oil, choose Lavender for relaxing feel, Lemongrass good for refreshing and Rosemary is best for stimulating.


3. Green Tea Sugar
Green tea known with its high antioxidant content and anti-aging effect, it also a good ingredient to make a homemade scrub, combine green tea, granulated sugar and tea tree oil, or you can skip the oil, it's still good to go. Brew your green tea, make 1 cup, let it cool first before you add a 5 full tablespoon of granulated sugar, blend well, add raw honey about 50ml, add 5 drops tea tree oil if you like.


4. Yogurt Canari
Wants a smooth and silky body then try Yogurt Canary as body scrub, yogurt is best for balance the pH+ level on your skin while canary seed is high content of enzymes, vegetable protein, amino acids and great for antioxidants. Get a plain white yogurt in one cup, blend  also one cup canary half smooth, this canary works as the scrubs, add 2 tablespoon of aloe vera gel to get smoother result on skin. All mixed in one bowl, apply to your body regularly, feels a soothing skin as result.


5. Papaya Oat
Papaya commonly used as the base ingredients for whitening skin, rich of Vitamin A, C and E also highly antioxidant. If you live in Asia, this fruit is very easy to find and not too expensive.  Prepare a ripe papaya, clean the seed and mashing it.  Next, get a full 1 cup of plain oatmeal, grind it, then mix it with the papaya mashed, add 3 tbsp of raw honey.



Its important before you do the scrub on your face, you have to make sure that your face is clean first. Apply the scrub, rub it gently~~ again gently on your face, wait 15 minutes then wash your face with lukewarm water, put mild toner and moisturizer for maximum result.

Or if you are too busy to make all the above scrub, you can always buy a natural scrub, my recommendation would be scrubs from Skinfood brand series. Get it online below^^

How's your spring doing? I hope you filled with nice busy schedule either at school or works.

Even with your busy time, have you ever make time also to check your makeup tools cleanliness? The makeup things that you use everyday. Take a look at your foundation/powder sponge, when was the last time you wash it or is it need a change.  How about your brushes? it is better to make sure you clean it on regular basis.

I want to talk about this new thing I found today, the OMG Spray It from Chica Y Chico, I haven't use it, but I think I want to have one of those. This is the first time I see a product that do sanitizing for the makeup before we use it. It's pretty neat, and the review said it contains only with natural and safe ingredients, so if it accidentally spray on your skin, it would still turns out alright.





With grapefruit scents in 10ml cute tip top container, it made your makeup and tools all bacteria-free.
Mist once and wait 10-seconds then you wipe it with clean tissue or paper towel.  The ingredients told to be great as it doesn't change the colors or texture of your eyeshadow or blusher.

Hello dear, April Fool's Day just passed yesterday, what did you do to your friends, brothers or sisters to  make them laugh? Anyway I hope you have a happy day every day.

Spring is coming, is time to dress pretty, what about your face? is it flawless or do you have those little annoying thing stayed. Acne, zit, basically it is caused by the dirty blood inside your body, beside a dirty face caused by the external factor like dirty air or your dirty hands who keep touching your face,
That's why for certain women, when they have their period days coming, that's when the acne comes out.

I have this easy recipe I like to share, it's from my Dad, yes~ my beloved Dad ^^ not my mom or grandma.
He sometimes suffered from acne in his back, a bit rare though, so what he did was drink a herbal drink for 2 days and everything completely gone.

The recipe is come from my Javanese, Indonesian ancestor. Herbs or "Jamu" in bahasa Indonesian is used for thousands years, not only for healing but some herbs is good for preserve a beauty.

Jamu Bersih Darah, meaning Cleansing Blood Herbs, its meant to clean the dirty blood, make the blood circulation better, helps to reduce itching and clear the acne. Itching can be a symptom from allergy like eating the wrong seafood, this herbs can help you overcome it also.

Unfortunately this herb is only easily get in Indonesia, produce by Sidomuncul, one of the well-know herbs company.  The price is very cheap only 10 cents USD.

How to prepare this drink:

1 pack of Cleansing Blood Herbs


1 pack of Madurasa (Honey~ any honey will do) 20ml


1 slice of Lime or Lemon juice
1 tbs of sugar
half cup of warm to hot water drink



Just mixed all the above ingredients in one cup.  Prepare another glass of water with honey, because although already mixed with honey and sugar, the taste still will be very very very bitter.

Drink the water and honey after you drink the herbs.  But if you can hold up the taste, no need then :D

Drink this at least once a day.  Oh, do remember to eat your breakfast or lunch first before you drink this herbs. My experience 3 days top, the acne will be reduce and healed.

Apply extra external care like face wash, cleansing milk and toner. to avoid the acne to comeback.
