Autumn Skin Care with SOFINA

Honesty, it has been several yrs since I last used Sofina skin care products.
During university yrs, like most girls, Sofina skin products filled my bathroom cabinets.
From skin care to makeup, the full range…….
However, like most girls I became curious of what other beauty brands have to offer.
Trying and changing from one brand to another.
Always in search of products that's most suitable to ME. 
 
After yrs of trials and errors.
Here I am, back to the beginning… with Sofina
As I have grown older, Sofina have grown and expanded its skin care and makeup range
 to meet the needs of all skin type and age.
 
 
Special thanks to Sofina x She.com for providing trial products for this review.

No longer a teenager, but a young mother.
My biggest skin concern is to fight against aging.
Sofina Beaute series is a newly launched skin care line for those who want to receive anti-aging benefits
and to prevent skin from dryness and dullness.
 
The newly launched in HK, Sofina Beaute Makeup Cleansing Oil have caught my attention since June.
Now I have the chance to try it out.  


How to use:
Dry hand and face before use.
Apply 3 pump of oil into palm and apply on skin with gentle circular massage.
The oil will melt away dirt and makeup from pores.
Rinse off with lukewarm water.
 

 

Sofina Beaute Makeup Cleansing Oil is able to remove stubborn makeup
without stripping the natural moisture of the skin. Thanks for its unique “speedy off” formula,
this product contains skin care essence that protects the skin from dryness and feeling tight after cleansing.
No greasy residue is left after rising.
Can be used on eyes areas for waterproof makeup.
 
Time to cleanse. I'm using Sofina Enriched Foam Cleanser for this trial.
 

Thanks to these two helpful products, my night time beauty routine is in good hands.
 
What's my daytime beauty routine?
Every morning I leave home in a rush.
Rushing to take my children to school and getting to work on time.
Little time do I have for myself.
I try to make my morning beauty routine as simple as possible,
but still looking my best all day long.

Even since March, I have been using Sofina Primavista makeup line
and have not change to another brand since.
Using Sofina Primavista Mositure Coat Base
follow by Primavista Powder Foundation, then blush and lipstick.
Each day I can leave the home looking radiant and beautiful in just minutes.


Adding extra care to my skin, I've added Sofina UV Cut Emulsion
as my daytime moisturiser and sunscreen. Two functions in one product, so handy ^o^. 


Sofina UV Cut Emulsion contains high concentration of anti-aging serum ingredients.
It hasUV defense technology "ADVAN"  that forms a effective barrier to block UV damage to skin. 
Replenishing and lock-in moisture while protecting skin against environmental damages
for smoother, firmer, more supple looking skin. 
Texture is transparent  and non-greasy.

Sofina Autumn Skin Care Workshop

This summer I had spent a lot more time under the hot sun more than any other years.
My children love outdoor outings.
Parks, beach, Disneyland, theme parks, the list comes on ……


Being a busy working mum, I did a very poor job in protecting my skin
against the unfriendly sun rays.


Over-sun exposure has caused my skin to appear red, sensitive, dehydrated

and of cos.. chocolate tanned……..  I seriously want to cry.
The recent change of autumn weather only makes things worse.


Thanks to she.com X Sofina, I was invited to Sofina Autumn Skin Care Workshop, 

"秋日美肌護理工作".

 

For me, cleansing is the most important step in my beauty routine.
I'm very picky with my cleansing products. 

The workshop began with the demonstration of Sofina Makeup Cleansing Oil,
“保濕精華卸妝油”.

 
I find most cleansing oil product would leave behind makeup residues on my skin 
and my skin would still feels oily and uncomfortable. In this demonstration, 
after water rise away Sofina Makeup Cleansing oil, the model's skin felt nourished, clean and oil-free.      

 2nd Demonstration:
Comparison to another unknown brand cleansing oil.
Add in small amount of water, and few gentle shakes.
Sofina Makeup Cleansing oil (bottom) was able to dissolve most of the foundation.
Shows how effective Sofina "speedy off" cleansing formula works.


3rd Demonstration: 
 Sofina Enriched Foam Cleanser “咕o臣潔面泡泡”.
As compared to another unknown brand,
Sofina Enriched Foam had thick, firm elasticity foams.
The foams were able to uphold 1 single coin.  
The buttery thick foam aims to reduce movement to skin surface,
while letting the foam work into the pores to remove dirt.    

Beauty professional sharing autumn skin care tips.
Useful tips to try out. Hope it can rescue my sensitive skin.  
 
Sofina skin care products have been well known and
very popular amongst Asian female.
Can't wait to try it myself......
 

After trying Sofina Makeup Cleansing Oil & Sofina Enriched Foam Cleanser,
let test the condition of my skin. Yeah.... all within range ^o^. 


Sofina toner is more than a toner.
It can be use as mask to boost moisture level and strength inner layer of skin.
Moist cotton pads with toner and leave on for 10-20mins.
 

 
 

Must not forget the eyes.....
Apply serum then eye mask to sooth and power up skin around the eyes.
 

 
Time to moisturiser.
 
Skin all pumped, ready for makeup.
Apply makeup to problematic sensitive skin is a challenge most female face
especially in autumn weather condition.
Working with dry, dull and flaky skin is my most fear nightmares.
