BiO-LiFE Astaxanthin is what our skin needs

By Gaylen KaSai - Wednesday, February 19, 2020

Tell me that you are not afraid of aging, because I am. I can’t stop aging, but I can choose to age gracefully right? Well, being in my 30’s is scary and fun at the same time. It is because I am in my 30’s I can do and try whatever I wish and also it is because I’m in my 30’s that I am always on the lookout for anti-aging products. From serums to creams to supplements.

Today I want to share something I recently learned and am currently consuming. Astaxanthin 6mg. Honestly, I wish I found out about this sooner tho. What is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is a keto-carotenoid. Lol, well let’s keep it simple here instead of all the technical terms, shall we? So, Astaxanthin is actually a reddish pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs naturally in certain algae and causes the pink or red color in salmon, trout, lobster, shrimp, and other seafood. What good is Astaxanthin? It is one of nature’s most potent antioxidants and has so many health benefits I that I was amazed and told myself to diligently take it each day.

Well, what I am going to share with you is what can Astaxanthin 6mg benefit your skin and why you should add it into your routine.

Astaxanthin helps to protect skin aging due to oxidation; oxidation simply means decay. You
know how you cut an apple and leave it in the room, and it oxidizes and turns brownish after a while. Yes. Something like that. Omg, the thought of my skin getting dull and wrinkly is actually scary. So if it scares you too, please continue reading.

Benefits of Astaxanthin

1. Astaxanthin has been shown in clinical studies to increase skin moisture, moisture retention, elasticity, as well as promote skin smoothness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Astaxanthin has UV-blocking properties, which helps to assist the skin in protecting itself against sun-related damage. Bye dark spots!

3. Astaxanthin can neutralize multiple free radicals at once, protecting your skin and body from oxidation, damage, and inflammation.

4. Astaxanthin has been proven to increase blood flow, meaning that it will help your skin to have better circulation. Increased circulation has various benefits, including increased cell turnover, amplified elasticity, and increased water retention.

Astaxanthin can come in many forms such as skincare serums, creams and oils. Personally,
I take Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg, an oral supplement. This 6mg dark orange coloured vegetable capsule can help protect my skin cells from premature aging maintaining youthful skin from within. Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg will be my choice of supplement to reduce wrinkles, age spots and moisture loss.

2 months after taking Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg, scroll to bottom for BEFORE Do not use my dark circles to justify as you guys know I’ve had fillers done. Please just look at the skin.

My experience on Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg.

I could definitely see a lot of improvement on my skin because my skin feels so much softer and it definitely looks brighter and there are slight improvements on dark spots. They seem to lighten themselves faster than usual. Do note that I have stopped all other supplements including my collagen and also Vitamin C throughout the duration of me trying out Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg. I take one capsule daily, when I get up from bed on an empty stomach. I would highly recommend you to try Bio-Life Astaxanthin 6mg if you are looking for a supplement for your skin, and remember to drink lots and lots of water too because you can feel a little bit more thirstier than usual when you begin to take the supplement.

Astaxanthin 6mg is available at leading pharmacies such as Alpro, Caring, Guardian and
Healthlane.

Mirror Mirror on the wall, how do I get as fair as Snow White? Snow White Skin Peel

By Gaylen KaSai - Tuesday, November 19, 2019

I have always been on the chase for fair and flawless skin, which is why I follow my skincare regime strictly. My ultimate goal is to age gracefully because I know that I cannot stop aging. On my last 2 visit to Ido's Clinic I tried 2 different treatments, totally non-invasive and only on the surface. I was pretty impressed on how these 2 treatments actually gave my skin a more refreshed look! Totally polished.

Snow White Peel

'Snow White' is a medical strength peel that works by removing the topmost layer of the skin, and encouraging the production of healthy skin cells. Our skin gets damaged by the sun and other factors and with 'Snow White' these Sun damaged and hyper pigmented cells are exfoliated, while new collagen also plumps the skin from withing, smoothing fine lines and scars. Face Peels are great to treat skin prone to pore blockage and acne by reducing debris overload. too.

Immediately after the Snow White Peel, I could see that my skin was glowing! What I like about this peeling agent is that it doesn't give me flaky skin like the rest I have tried. My skin was glowing for weeks after the treatment.

Did you know that frequent use of Snow White Peel can also help to diminish scars, wrinkles and fine line as well as reduce pigmentation and sun damage?

Soli-Tone

The other treatment I did was using this machine called Soli-Tone. The Soli-Tone Infinite Energy is photo bio stimulation system is a unique skin rejuvenation device that uses light therapy and special currents to turn back the clock on aging, sun-damaged skin, blemishes, redness and uneven pigmentation. This treatment is a new multi- platform technology that reduces the skin aging with no downtime or adverse effects. Yes 3 treatments in one! The treatment was so comfortable that I almost feel asleep.

Different lights treat different problems

Magenta : Acne

Gree : Hyperpigmentation, Redness

Yellow: Reness , Healing

Red: Collagen prouction

Solitone Infinite Energy System is great for Baggy eyes, open pores, Dark Circles, Acne, Rought Skin and so many more. This machine works by using LED Lights, Our skin has the natural ability to absorb infrared wavelengths of light and use the energy from this type of light as a source to stimulate cellular regeneration. Infrared LED Light Therapy was discovered by NASA as a method of stimulating cellular regeneration and pain relief and was used in the Space Program as a method of treatment in space. Research has found that LED Light Therapy can reverse and control the visible signs of aging and acne, tightening your skin to make you look years younger. This is done without harsh chemical treatments or invasive surgical procedures. Soli-Tone LED Light Therapy dos exactly just that. I could feel and see my skin tighten after the treatment and it felt so hydrated after the ultrasound treatment which I did. More about that later. I could see immediate improvement with just one treatment, but I believe with a series of treatment, years will be removed from the appearance of the skin.

Ultrasound

After the Solitone Treatment, I did the Ultrasound Treatment to improve my skin hydration as by now I think you would have already know that I have very dry skin. This Treatment help to push the ampules into the skin to achieve better results. I could feel that my skin was very hydrated even until the next day.

Does your beauty drink contains Yeast Ceramide?

By Gaylen KaSai - Thursday, January 17, 2019

Every women want to look beautiful, radiant glowing flawless skin is in every woman's wish list. It is

definitely achievable with the correct diet and exercise. As important as our beauty rituals are to the condition of our hair and skin, many of the qualities we strive for – clear skin, voluminous hair, healthy nails – are all connected to our intake of essential vitamins and molecular components. Beauty supplements are packed full of nourishing ingredients to provide us with the essential vitamins and minerals integral to healthy skin, hair and nails. They work from the inside out; promoting gradual improvements to your appearance overtime as changes are made.

I have been consuming a new beauty drink for a while which is the Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink This beauty drink is enriched with high antioxidants including berries, collagen, premixed enzyme and Yeast Ceramide. So what is Yeast Ceramides? Ceramides are lipid molecules found in high concentrations within cell membranes in the upper layer of the skin. They hold skin cells together, forming a protective layer that plumps the skin and holds moisture. They also act as a barrier against

bacteria and environmental pollutants. Losing ceramide is one of the biggest contributors to wrinkles as skin dehydrates easily causing more fine lines and wrinkles. Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink provides our skin with continuous hydration and stimulates dehydrated skin. This drink is not only effective for the face but the whole body.

What do I think? Well, I have been taking the Cosera Berries Ceramide drink for a while now and I find that my skin is not so dry because I have very dry skin, not only my face but basically my whole body. My manicurist is the one that always reminds me that I have dry skin when she cuts away dead skin or cuticles from my fingers. Ever since I started taking this, she has definitely complained less. This drink taste a little on the sourish side but I am ok with the taste, while hubs didn’t quite like

it. Men don’t seem to like sour, so they?

The Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink contains Mix Berries (Blueberry, Strawberry, Bilberry, Blackberry), Fructooligosaccharides, Collagen, Premixed Enzyme (Amylase, Bromelain, Cellulase, Diastase, Invertase, Lactase, Lipase, Pectinase, Protease), Yeast Ceramide dan Stevia. This drink has No preservative, No chemicals, No hormone, No added sugar, No artificial flavor and No artificial coloring so you can consume this at ease.

There are so many benefits from the Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink, and among them are

✓ Contains high levels of vitamin A and E - promotes the rate of cell switching, enhances the

skin, brightens and soothes the skin tone.

✓ High antioxidant - protects the skin from free radicals and helps fight the signs of aging.

✓ Rich with anthocyanin - repair damaged, dry and wrinkled skin.

✓ Having vitamin C - good for lightening the skin and maintaining healthy skin.

✓ Good for eyesight , general immunization and health systems.

✓ Reduces melanin production, and helps brighten the skin.

✓ Collagen - Makes skin look 'glowing' and energizes and also improves skin elasticity, reduces

wrinkles and increases skin moisture

Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink is suitable for everyone who wants to achieve flawless healthy looking skin like myself, yes our male friends included. This drink is not only full of benefit but it is convenient too as it is easy to prepare. A box of Cosera Berries Ceramide Drink contains 15 sachet which makes preparation so easy!

1. Take one sachet and put in a cup 2. Add 180 - 200 ml (or more) water 3. Stir well and drink!

You think you have seen it all? Olay Whips + Olay Magnemask is prove you have not..

By Gaylen KaSai - Tuesday, January 15, 2019

I am so lucky to be invited to attend the launch event of Watsons Malaysia x Olay early this month! I have been hearing about the new Olay Products from friends abroad but wasn’t able to try it myself as it wasn’t available in Malaysian shores back then! The wait is finally over for all of us! Olay is a well known company when it comes to cosmetic. They have been around for a very long time and they make everything from anti-aging creams to facial cleansers and beyond

What is Olay Whips? Olay Whips is a new moisturizer, but then there is just so much more about the Olay Whips than meets the eye. These whips not only acts as a moisturizer but it makes a great primer too. I have combination dry skin so a good moisturizer is essential for me, what I love about the Olay Whips is that it absorbs so quickly that I don’t have wait 5 - 7 minutes before applying my makeup. Do you know that you have to let your skincare fully absorb before applying make up or your makeup isn’t going to last you all day. I am currently using the Olay White Radiance and I look forward to applying it each morning because of the texture.

Olay Whip is definitely one level ahead of moisturizers. Olay Whips are formulated with Active Rush Technology to hold and quickly release 1000x its weight in hydration and active ingredients. Almost instantly transforms from cream to liquid when in contact with skin which is why Olay Whips feels light as air and doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy, sticky and tacky. There are 3 types of Olay Whips currently, the Regenerist, Total Effects and White Radiance.

Olay Regenerist, perfect for women who is hitting the big 3-0 and beyond like myself who is always worried about fine lines and wrinkles. Olay Regenerist is formulated with Advance Amno-Peptide Complex II to regenerate surface cells The Olay Regenerist diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles and actively hydrates to improve elasticity and firms the skin.
Olay Total Effects, perfect for everyone. This has seven skin benefits in one product: it actively replenishes nourishing moisture, evens skin tone appearance, enhances brightness, visibly smooths fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the look of pores, restores firmness and visibly reduces dark spots. It’s formulated with VitaNiacin Complex II and Vitamins C & E to fight the early signs of aging. Olay White Radiance,the one I am currently using is the choice for women who want lasting radiance without the shine. It actively moisturizes to even skin tone and minimize the appearance of pores, formulated with PearlOptics™ science for lasting radiance.

So if you’re looking for a lightweight, affordable moisturizer that doubles as a primer for your everyday makeup, I would highly recommend Olay Whips. It leaves skin feeling velvety-smooth and ready for flawless makeup application. All 3 Olay Whips varieties offer deep hydration with a lightweight formula that instantly absorbs into skin so you don’t have to wait to apply your makeup. Every second counts, especially when we are all so busy!

Olay also launched its Olay Magnemask together with its revolutionary Magnetic Infuser on the same day. This new mask is nothing you have seen before. I thought I have seen everything from Sheet Mask, Bubble Mask, Clay Mask, Peel off mask until this. This new mask that comes with a magnetic infusing tool has definitely caught my attention. Olay has came up with a brilliant way to promote better penetration of its products with the magnetic technology.

The Olay Magnemask Infusion Rejuvenating Jar Mask comes with an active ingredient-packed jar mask formula and a magnetic infuser tool that works to penetrate the formula beneath the skin barrier, delivering it 10 skin layer deep leaving us with firmer, plumper skin with less fine lines and wrinkles. The specially designed magnetic infuse has the same magnetic polarity as the ingredients Pentapeptide [PAL-KTTKS] and Niacinamide, it uses magnetic repulsion to deliver the nourishing ingredients deep into the layer of the skin for significantly better absorption results. I personally love how smooth and plump my skin felt in the morning after using the mask. I also realize that my skinlooked brighter as well. I am very confident that with prolonged usage of the Magnemask Infusion Rejuvenating Jar Mask my skin will be looking brighter and fairer.

In 2019, Let's push our skin care regimen to the next level! You can try your own jar of Olay Whips from Watsons. Each Olay Whips jar retails is RM109 and Olay Magnemask Jar is priced at RM109.90 while the Olay Magnemask Starter Kit retails at RM139.90 [Jar Mask and Infuser Kit] and Watson members can enjoy less 10% discounts in all Watsons’ stores nationwide and online at www.watsons.com.my

RAES Collagen Mist would be perfect if you seek convenience

By Gaylen KaSai - Sunday, December 09, 2018

I love innovative people because they are the ones who make my life easier and here with me today I have another new product which was sent to me to review. This product is a local product which has been featured on Malaysian National TV , TV3. The RAES Collagen Mist is a soothing, hydrating mist with Hyaluronic Acid to keep our skin refreshed, moisturized and constantly renewing our skin. The main ingredients are Propolis Extract, Aloe Vera and of course Hyaluronic Acid. And RAES Collagen Mist is easy and convenient to use, all you have to do is spray it on your face when you need a pick me up. In terms of the packaging for a local made product I would give it a thumbs up! Very simple and compact. It easily fits into the handbag.

Aloe Vera has been used for many purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality.” i myself own many pure Aloe Vera gels which I use to treat burns, itches, and bites. Aloe Vera also does a great job at calming the skin. Propolis Extract on the other hand is another powerful ingredient found in the natural world. It can help reduce pigmentation, inflammatory redness, boost collagen and offers antioxidant protections from environmental aggressors like pollution, sunlight and radiation.

This is the first product that I'm reviewing which contains propolis extract. Personally, with the RAES Collagen Mist I find that my skin appears brighter, and my inflammatory red acne marks fade more quickly as propolis is known yo be gentle to the skin. I would say that this product is worth the try, but Personally I wouldn’t repurchase unless the hubs( yes Hubs use Mist instead of Moisturizer) wants to continue using this as the RAES Collagen Mist has a light fragrance which I do not really like. It has a floral smell, somewhat like Rose but not quite like it as it smell much sweeter than what a rose would smell like. RAES Collagen Mist is great for those that seek convenience, unlike myself. I would recommend this to guys as they tend to be less like us girls who enjoy our daily skincare routine so If you guys would like to try or would love to get this for your partners do check out the links below.

ALTHEA EXCLUSIVE: MILK PEEL CREAM MASK

By Gaylen KaSai - Tuesday, November 20, 2018

Over the years, skincare routines have become more and more complicated. From a 3 step routine it has become a 10 step routine thanks yo the influence of the korean beauty industry. I spend a lot of time on my vanity table as new Products are constantly being added to my daily list. No, I am not complaining as I find all this a luxury. The luxury of being able to sit in front of the mirror without having to rush out the door or to attend to the kids. A big hug and kiss to the hubs for this, as he will be minding the kids when I'm sitting in front of the mirror. Lol. But this doesn't happen 365 days a year, there are days and weeks where I really have to rush out the door or rush to my laptop, times like this i would have to just cut short the routine into the simplest most basic routine!

Thanks to Althea's exclusive line, I am able to cut it short without having to compromise on what's lacking. The Contour Cleanser from the Althea Bare Essential line is my Everyday cleanser, followed by the Real Fresh Skin Detoxer which is a 10 second Detoxer. Following this would be the Bare Essential Primer Water and Fixer Cream followed by the latest Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway and my most trusted and raved about Althea Petal Velvet Powder and I am good to go! So I am always excited when Althea comes up with a new Exclusive Product.

Masking before bedtime or before putting on makeup the next morning is a must for me to make sure that my skin is at her best, but sometimes 10 minutes is not what I have got to spare. The latest addition to the Althea Exclusive line is a lifesaver at times like this as all it takes is just 30-60 seconds! I am proud to introduce to you the latest Althea Exclusive, my latest obsession. The ALTHEA MILK PEEL CREAM MASK! Milk as it main ingredient, this is definitely a great product for mornings or nights! Milk is known to contain many antibacterial properties as well as Vitamin B, Calcium and Alpha Hydroxy acids. We basically grew up with this ingredient one way or another. Lol. So we know milk is good!

The Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask comes in a 50ml cute little white and blue pump bottle. This Milk Peel Cream Mask is suitable for all skin types as it has got a hypoallergenic formula which won’t irritate the skin. So if you have a allergic skin, you can use this too! Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask also contains both AHA and BHA extracts, a gentle but effective exfoliator. It is also formulated with casein protein to help revitalize and moisturize the skin. If you are like me and always worried about ‘peeling’ products because it always leave the skin dry, I can assure you that this doesn’t. I have very dry skin and I cannot afford to lose any of my skin’s natural moisture or else I will start having red patches and bumps, the Althea Milk Peel Cream only leaves me with soft, moisturized skin throughout the day.

How do you use the Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask? It is easy! Damp you skin, and apply an even layer onto the skin and massaging it into the skin till a rich lather forms. Leave it on for 30-60 seconds before rinsing away with warm water. The Althea Milk Peel Mask smells like baby powder to me and I love it! It comes out of the bottle as lightweight clay and transforms into a rich dense lather from the microbubbles which purifies and soften the skin! There will be a tingling sensation just like any other bubble mask! After using this my skin is always soft to touch and I honestly can’t keep my hand off my face even more now!
