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

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.

What do u pack in your travel beauty bag?

It's back to work for me this week.

After spending two weeks working from home,

I was able to spend alots time with my M & M babies,

however, my full-time mum role was due to end.

 

 

My job requires me to travel regularly.

I'm always out and about traveling here and there.

Whenever I go, I like to travel light.

Would it be a short trip into China or a long travel thru Europe,

I ensure I bring only reliable and convenient skincare & makeup products.

 

I want to & need to look my best at all times.

I take great care in ensuring my skin is clean and care properly each night.

There are times when I would feel too tired after a long day,

and I would want to jump straight to bed. 

Quick and simple is very important for lazy me.....

 

So what works for me?

I have very sensitive dry combination skin.

I have tried numerous make-up remover & cleansing oil from different brands.

Most of the time, the product didn't do a good job at removing my makeup,

or make my skin appear red after use,

or it clogs up my pores and cause out-breaks / pimples.

All the above problem went away when I started to use shu uemura.

 

When I pack my travel beauty kit,

the first item I would pack is shu uemura cleansing oil.

One bottle, one product that can help me removes make-up and cleanse my skin in 1 step cleansing.

 

Most makeup remover uses cotton pad to remove makeup.

This can pull your skin and speed up the process of aging.

I personally find it very hard to remove long-lasting / long-wear makeup.

Would it be foundation , mascara , lipcolours……. They stay even when u don’t want it.

 

 

  

Being always ahead, shu uemura cleansing oil evolved

from the original formula to the advanced to tackle all those hard to remove products.   

 

So what's new??

"全新昇級版綠茶抗氧化潔顏油"

 

With the recent upgrade in formula.....

 

 

 

The new advanced formula is empowered with Green Tea and specially selected
Gingko Leaf Extract containing “flavonoids”, known for anti-oxidant and micro circulation
properties that help to promote transparency and radiance to fatigues skin.

 

The innovative Natural Origin HPO system has a superb cleansing ability
which removes sebum (substance which accelerates the ageing process)
and dramatically increases the removability of waterproof mascara and long-lasting makeup.

 

With gentle circular massage over face,
shu uemura Advance Formula Anti/Oxi Cleansing Oil melts and remove eye makeup
& any water-proof makeup and cleanse impurity from your face.

(There's no need to use cotton pads. )

 

Result:

 

 

 

Skin feels fresh and pump. No oily feelings after use.       

Soft, refine and gives a youthful glow.

No wonder this product is so often talked about by beauty gurus.

shu uemura cleansing beauty oil premium a/o is the #1 selling shu uemura cleansing oil worldwide.

Good things are to be shared.

Totally love it....

 

How to use:

1.  Pump:

Take 3 to 4 pumps of cleansing oil into the palm of dry hand.

 2. Apply:

Spread gently and thoroughly on face.

3. Emulsify

Add face to emulsify cleansing oil.

 4. Rinse Off

Rinse thoroughly with water.
