I was first introduced to this Sun Protector when Niu Er mentioned about this during the Kose Workshop that I attended months back.

Well I didn't regret buying this, cause I really love this :)

The texture is white liquid, so application is a breeze. Spreads very easily. It doesn't leave a white cast on my face. Upon application, my skin feels moisturized but not oily.

Not very sure of its whitening properties though. I don't think it whitens.. but my complexion did brightened, and more even-toned. No new sun spots! :D

Alas, I'm finishing my current bottle. Will only be re-purchasing this next year, because this year my Kose points has hit 4000 pts. It'll be more worth it to start a new points collection next year. Also I prefer to buy this from Jusco - they have the monthly voucher day. Every RM100 - redeem RM20 voucher. So I only pay RM85 *grins*

Finally, warm your palms and cup over eyes for a short mo. Tadaaa, try it if you've not already.

- The mantra in applying toner is: Sweep, pat, leave on.
Niu Er demonstrated this on an attendee, and the difference was very obvious. The half where he used this technique was shine free, and no oilliness when moisturizer was applied on.

Always use a cotton pad. Pour some toner on the cotton square, sweep gently from center of the face outwards. This is to help to remove dead cells.

Next tear the cotton square into half, and use the inner sides to pat onto skin. This is to assist absorption.

Finally, leave on the cotton squares onto face for a few minutes - act as a quick mask.

You can then apply emulsion using the cotton square. I'm not practicing this as my current moisturizer is of thick cream..

- Applying sunblock.
Do this in stages, intervals of 3 minutes or so. Apply light layers each time.
The last layer: tap on nose, forehead and cheekbones for a natural sculpted look. Then you're ready for makeup base and powder :)

- For effective deep cleansing
Cleanse your face.
Then apply another layer of cleansing oil.
Wrap on with cling-on wrap.
Leave it for 10-20 minutes and proceed to wash as usual.

Do this about 2-3 times a week to treat open pores and whiteheads.

- For clearer skin
Do regular lympatic massage. Press firmly under your earlobes, along the sides of your neck, down to the hollow of your collarbone. Yep it will hurt the first few times. Mom taught me this some years back, and I've been doing this quite often, so it doesnt really hurt now :)

Firmly pinch your underarms for about 7 times. And remember to drink lots of water. I like to end my practice with a cup of warm water.

The best part of the workshop?

The goodie bag! Hehehe.

7pcs goodies from the Supreme Range.. and because on that day, all purchases would be getting 5x points, I picked up Esprique makeup base, an eyeshadow and Dramatical Stay Pact UV SPF25/PA++. *happy*
