My Mary Kay Botanical Effects 3-in-1 Cleanser Review

Hello Candylovers! :D 

There's no amount of makeup that can make your skin look healthy. You can't conceal all those bumps/acne with just the use of makeup. You have to know what's your skin type is and what type of facial cleanser that suits your skin. This is the first step of knowing on how to take care of your skin. :)

or you can take this test and find out what your skin is telling you. :)
And my score is 4 (skin is feeling okay).

After taking the test, I tried using the Mary Kay Botanical Effects 3-in-1 Cleanser for Oily Skin. :)

EXPERIENCE:
I've been using Mary Kay products when I was in my College years, especially their full coverage liquid foundation. I know for a fact that Mary Kay has an amazing range of good quality products and there's no doubt about it. But little do I know that they also have skin care products. So getting the chance to try their Botanical Effects 3-in-1 Cleanser is an opportunity.

Having an oily-acne prone skin is a challenge for me. There is nothing I can do about it but to accept the fact that I really have to deal with my oiliness and acne every now and then. It's in my genes, my poor lifestyle. There's no one to blame but myself.

But there's always some remedies for you to achieve that soft, flawless skin. And I think one of them is the Mary Kay Botanical Effects 3-in-1 Cleanser. This facial cleanser helps control the oiliness of my skin without leaving it dry. It has a micro beads that can exfoliate your dead skin cells and can lighten your darkspots/blemishes. Also, it's very mild on my skin. 

I don't experience any allergies or rashes when I'm using this facial cleanser. It feels very clean and fresh. 
You can definitely use this for 3 months or so. You just need a little amount of product to entirely clean your face and neck. 

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the result and will continue to use it. :)

Non-comedogenic.
Suitable for sensitive skin.
Free from alcohol, frangrance and synthetic dyes.
Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy.
Affordable.

EXPERIENCE:
I'm very excited to try the KB Gold Premium Soap for so many reasons. First, it has 5 main components (Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Soy Bean Extract, Hyaluronic Acid & Human Placenta Extract) that makes this soap really stands out. Second, the appearance of the soap is really unique and very handy to use compared to the other brands. Third, I love the scent of this soap, it's not fruity nor organic but it makes my skin smells fresh and clean. :) Fourth, the texture is smooth and the consistency is rich and creamy. It's very soft and mild on your skin. I didn't experienced any dryness or itching at all. Fifth, It helps makes my skin moisturized and even helps my blemishes diminished. :)

-It has Fuji Silica Gel inside.

EXPERIENCE:
It was actually my first time to intake Collagen Tablets as my daily food supplement. Usually I go for Collagen Soap or Lotion to help maintain my skin's youthful glow.

July was really a busy, stressful month for me. Working non-stop, lack of sleep, travelling back and forth was my everyday routine. And the only time I can give myself a break was having our meals. I take 1 tablet after every meal until I emptied the bottle.

The result??? I noticed that it helps my skin balanced my poor diet and exercise. It controls the amount of my breakouts and still gives me a natural glow. And also, helps my skin recover from the damaging effect of the sun. (especially when I was in Puerto, Princesa Palawan)

But I think, KB Collagen boost my food intake and gave me a big appetite. :)



WHERE TO BUY?
You can purchase KB Collagen in all Watsons and Mercury Drugstore nationwide.
