Promotion: MUKTI Gentle Facial Exfoliant @ only RM78. The key to achieving a clear & smooth complexion.

Most people overlook the importance of exfoliation (or scrub as many would call it). It is actually the key to achieving a clear, bright and smooth complexion.

Why? Because the top most layer of our skin is actually a layer of dead skin cells. If our skin is not as effective as it should be, this layer starts to build up. The result is dull and uneven looking skin. Also, a thick dead skin cell layer may result in clogged pores which may cause whiteheads, blackheads and pimples *gasp*

Hence the importance of regular exfoliation to help skin get rid of dead skin cells. It should be part of your skin care regime. It is definitely in mine!

But there are many different types of exfoliation products/scrubs. I like the MUKTI Gentle Facial Exfoliant for a few great reasons:

• 
  
  Jojoba Beads does the job to gently polish off dead skin cells. The key word here being "gently"! This is one scrub that will NOT scratch your face ever. The Jojoba Beads are perfectly spherical with no sharp edges. So you'd never risk damaging your skin, especially those with slightly thin & sensitive skin (like mine).
• 
  
  Contains Ginkgo Biloba to improve circulation. This helps in promoting healthy skin growth. Healthy skin is beautiful skin, really!
• 
  
  You can cleanse and exfoliate at the same time. For those who use just a foaming cleansing on a daily basis can skip the cleanser and go straight for the MUKTI Gentle Facial Exfoliant on days they'd like a scrub. For me, I always double cleanse starting with a milk cleanser then follow with a mild foaming one. So for 2-3 times a week, I will use the MUKTI Gentle Facial Exfoliant instead of my usual mild foaming cleanser. It works a dream.
• 
  
  It's certified organic. Need I mention this? *smiles* Certified organic means it's certified to be made with organic ingredients and that it doesn't contain any suspicious ingredients. I firmly believe (and have proven!) that when we cease to bombard our skin with chemicals, it doesn't have to work so hard in dealing with all the synthetic stuff. And thus result in healthier, stronger and definitely better looking skin.

So how often should we be using a scrub? I'd say at least 2-3 times a week.

For the best part of it all.... the MUKTI Gentle Facial Exfoliant is now on promo. Enjoy RM10 off and get it at only RM78. Valid with any Mukti product purchase. Also valid for online purchases.

Say hello to a smooth complexion!

XOXO,

Something to put the sparkle back in your eyes

I don't know about you but I spend way too much time staring at a computer screen. My eyes ends up being really tired by the end of the day and if you haven't noticed, tired eyes seems to make a person look listless.

My cure? A mini eye-spa at home with one of my favs - the Mukti Rosehip Eye Gel. This winner is absolutely brimming with organic rosehip which is a powerful antioxidant to:

* combat puffy eyes

* prevent fine lines

* minimize dark circles

It's completely oil-free and is rapidly absorbed making it perfect even under eye makeup. It's also certified organic so you know for sure that it contains only pure botanical ingredients and none of the nasty (and cheap!) synthetic chemicals.

So how do you do the mini-eye spa?

1. Apply a slightly more generous amount of the eye gel than usual and give eyes a gentle massage by lightly running your fingertips around the eyes in a circular movement. Do take care not to tug at those fine skin around the eyes.

*If you are up for it, give your eyes a thorough exercise, yes you can! This website offers a great how-to: http://www.wikihow.com/Exercise-Your-Eyes

2. Then put a slice of chilled cucumber (organic if you can!) on eyes, lie back and relax.

This will instantly perk up tired eyes and you will also notice that any puffiness are significantly reduced. Not to mention you will feel much refreshed after, kinda like as if you took forty winks (read: a short nap).

 

The Mukti Rosehip Eye Gel is a crowd favorite, media favorite and one of my can't-live-without-items. Put the sparkle back in your eyes with this one :)
