Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Exfoliating dead skin is important to prevent breakouts. We breakout because the dead skin, oil and dirt is clogged in our pores, thus causing pimples. Regular exfoliators have small beads that 'exfoliate' dead skin and they mostly contain harsh chemicals that will remove the dead skin. They will work the first few times, but over time they can get too rough for the skin.
Cure is very gentle on the skin because it does not contain any small micro beads. At first, I was very skeptical to purchase this product because I thought it was the gel clumping up and forming the balls. I went to a Watson's that stock cure and asked them for a sample. It cannot be found at every Watson's so it's better to check where they stock it. 
To test out if it really worked, I applied a bit of the sample onto the heel of my foot (the part where it often gets hard and dry.) I then washed it off and sure enough, it was smooth! I got so excited I purchased the full sized product a few days later. It retails for SGD$42 but can also be found on yesstyle.com.

  Comes in a pump bottle.
Has a cap (so it doesn't waste
      product when you press on it).              











It is a clear gel
Dead skin (ew)  











Pros:
-It removes dead skin effectively.
-It does not contain any harsh chemicals that will irritate the skin.
-It lightens scars.

Cons:
-It is hard to find.

What this product claims to do:
Remove dead skin without the use of micro beads.

Best for:
Every skin type.

Not good for:
N/A

Would I repurchase?
Yes! It is an amazing product!

Quality: 10/10
Price: 6/10 Pricey but I would still pay SGD$42 for this product.
Application: 10/10

Quick Fast Drying Nail Tip!

I was surfing the internet and came across this great nail tip! I'm always too lazy to paint my nails because I can't be bothered to wait for them to dry. All you need for this is: a bowl, some ice, cold water and wet nails!




Dip your nails in the ice water
Ice water in a  tupperware dish

Pour the cold water into the bowl and some ice cubes. Make sure the bowl isn't too shallow otherwise the nails will get scratched. Wait for the water to get really cold and then dunk your finger-tips in. Leave them in for 3-5 minutes and when you take them out, they should be dry. Just be careful for an hour because they can still get dents in them.
