[Beauty Review] Mordecai Skin specializes in skin treatment such as acne at an affordable price!

Hey everyone,

Gonna share with you my experience at Mordecai Skin earlier last month.

It started 3 years ago with the main concept of building confidence among people who have skin problems (like me *sad face*) and are often with low self-esteem. 

Mordecai Skin is a skin-treatment company which specializes in the treatment of male skin condition such as acne treatment, acne scar, hair removal, Singapore men facial and also for the ladies too!

It's already hard to treat male skin conditions because of the hyper-active sebaceous glands, so if they can help the guys, why not the ladies right? :)

The Founder of Mordecai, Mr Lam Yuen Foong, explained to me on how Mordecai Skin works and how different they are. It was really nice to know they're very customer oriented and they too love to hear customers' feedback. That's one thing for sure not many salons does that. Mostly, the facial therapists will analyse your skin conditions, explain your concerns and lead you to buy beauty products that claim will help your skin, on top of purchasing facial packages that costs a bomb.

They have promotions for Wednesday!

There's even a cost breakdown too.

Josie, the Manager of Mordecai, went through my skin conditions and analyze for me on what might cause my breakouts.

She was really patient and even encourages me that though acne will take its time to heal,  so long I am doing the right regime, rest enough, drinking more water to hydrate myself and having balance diet, it'll help to clear much faster.

Those words, indeed makes me feel much better and I'm already looking forward to a clearer skin soon!

*Acne doesn't heal overnight, it can take weeks, months or even years to heal. Most importantly is faith and doing it right! :)

I love the fact that they're not pushy in asking me to get packages (I was the one who was super interested in getting 3 trials so that my skin can be cleared, which I did and paid for it!) They also discourages if you tend to want to buy different packages because they want YOU (the client) to see results yourself and not rushing to buy unnecessary facial packages and ended up not going for it or it doesn't even help on your skin conditions.

And another best part of getting packages from them:

They are super flexible on the machine they use, which means, they'll follow your skin conditions for the day and change your facial treatment accordingly just so you don't have to buy another package or top-up. 

They believe in extracting as it helps to clear the impurities in the pores so that it'll not re-occur again.

Using products that is Organic, no Petrol chemical in products and treatments and on top of that, coming regularly for facials and following the tips given will definitely help tremendously!

Great to know:

Mordecai Skin is also involved in charity activities such as distributing food every week. 

Yeap, I actually bought 3x trials with them and I never regret it. :)

So basically I'm a customer of Mordecai Skin.

(Who says Bloggers are cheapos!? Not all okay! 

Definitely not me because I shop alot and that's my passion! keke)

Thanks Mr Lam and the Mordecai Skin Team!

[Beauty review] Biolee acnépris skincare from Korea - Helps to reduce acne using formulated Pine Pollen extract!

Hey everyone,

I'm back with a beauty post!

Lately I've been trying out a new skincare brand from Korea, Biolee, using their acnépris range.

As most of you know, my skin is always prone to acne and breakouts (yeah.. I do have hyper-active sebaceous glands and sensitive skin). 

 I have been suffering breakouts ever since I reached 18-19 years old. 

I guess it's caused by stress.

And as time passes... is due to my lifestyle.

Suffering from insomnia is no joke. Sleeping late, unhealthy diet, excessive drinking will causes your body to go haywire (uh huh, I'm talking about myself).

Acne is really one thing that I'm always concern. It DE-motivates you and making you feel low self-confidence. But with proper skincare regime and healthy diet, it can still make a whole lots of difference. 

That's the purpose of this post. :)

Introducing Biolee acnépris skincare...

acnépris dramatically reduce Acne using natural and effective “Pine Pollen Extract”

Formulated for treating acne problems of women in their 20′s and 30′s. 

acnépris is a quality natural cosmetic brand that does not contain chemical such as salicylic acid and triclosan, normally found in other treatment cosmetics.

The main ingredient of acnépris is “Pine Pollen Extract” known has excellent antibiotics and
anti-inflammatory effect against propioni bacterium acnes (the most common form of acne bacterium).
Just as cotton worn close to the skin is better than polyester, so too, natural ingredients are better than chemicals in skincare.

Purifying Foam Cleanser -  SGD$ 35

Perfect for sensitive skin, this gentle cleanser is hypoallergenic yet effectively able to deeply cleanse away makeup, oil and dirt. The gentle foam glides perfectly onto your skin, softening and cleansing away bacteria to reveal a fresher and cleaner complexion without drying it out.

Zerika-says: Super love the after-wash feeling, clean and fresh yet non-tightening. 

Skin feels softer as if I've just applied some hydrating serum.
So far so good as it doesn't break out even on my sensitive skin. 

A dollop of it is good enough for cleansing the whole face!

I think this tube can go a long way :)

Control Skin Toner - SGD$ 42

Using natural pine pollen to control surface oil, this light weight and oil free toner, revitalizes and hydrates your skin, giving it a radiant glow.

 Zerika-says: I like to soak loads of the toner on the cotton wool and pad it gently all over my face and concentrating more on those areas with clogged pores. The cooling sensation was great and it doesn't feel stingy or drying out my skin after application.

This is a MUST-DO step!

I've learned from some ladies that they don't apply toner.
It helps to prep your skin for the next skincare. It is your necessary second step after cleansing to maintain the right PH balance and prevent irritation for your sensitive acne/oily skin.

Esthetical Peeling Gel - SGD$ 35

This peeling gel does not contain any scrubbing grains, using only natural cellulose to eliminates dead skin cells and enhances cellular renewal. Using it once or twice a week with this gentle exfoliating gel will helps minimize pores and clear blackheads, thus gives skin the healthy glow.

Zerika-says: Pretty gentle and you can see those yucky dead skin coming off while massaging.

It doesn't cause any irritation on my sensitive skin and it seems to lighten some of my acne scars.

I'm using every alternate days (probably about 3 x a week) because I'm always wearing make ups.

My skin does feel softer as well.

Dramatic Spot - SGD$ 48

Helps to clear stubborn, recurring acne without scarring.
Can be directly apply on infected areas, on face, chest and back.
The natural pollen extract helps to reduce acne on dry and oily skin.

Definitely great for people who are sensitive to either Salicylic acid, Triclosan and Antibiotic.

Zerika-says: so far I'm using it only during the night. It does help to reduce the size of some stubborn acnes on my skin. Easily absorbed. I guess I should apply it before my makeup as well so that it can also fight those acne bacteria in the day too. :)

Oil-Free UV Protector -  SGD$ 35

Extremely lightweight formula with high level of daily sun protection for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. No shine and sticky feeling. Best part: Preservative free, Oil free and non-comedogenic!

Formulated with Portulaca extract:

-  help treat the skin conditions dermatitis and psoriasis

-  has a soothing effect, making it a useful treatment for inflammatory skin injuries,
such as boils and cuts.

- As portulaca is a natural source of vitamins A, C and E, and the co-enzyme Q10,
it is an excellent antioxidant, fighting premature aging and protecting the skin from
environmental damage.

 Zerika-says: I'm always in the search of a good sunblock for my skin. 

It's always either too oily or too sticky and causes breakouts. 

Sometimes I even give up applying sunblock (please don't follow me!) and it's bad!

You need sunblock to protect your skin from those harmful rays!

I'm quite impressed with this sunblock as it doesn't break me out like others I've used despite them claiming they don't and is good for oily and sensitive skin blar blar blar...
I've been religiously using it daily for a month plus before my makeup and so far so good. :)

Since the day I received it, it's been a part of my daily Day Skincare regime. :)
