Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
Specially formulated to provide clean, refreshing toning without the harsh, drying effects of alcohol. It will not strip your skin of its own natural moisturizers. Special mild purifiers gently remove impurities and recondition your skin, making it feel fresh, clean and soft.
Another product added to my Beauty Bento Box is the Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner.
I’m not pretty big on toners but I’ve always wondered on the benefits of using one. I had resorted to astringents when I was younger and was sorely disappointed since it left my skin dry even when I can see that it was effective …read more

Bento Beauty Tip: Moisturise Pre-makeup

We go back to the basics when it comes to this bit. I’ve repeatedly talked about the importance of moisture in skin and one of the best times to apply it is right before you put on makeup. It’s a personal choice. Not all women practice it but I do. Think of it as your facial skin needing the same moisturising element of lotions as the skin of your elbows or knees. Actually, I see it as vital to put on ample amount of moisturiser on the face since you do apply makeup, it’s exposed and is sensitive to UV …read more

Fresh Start
Daily Exfoliating Cleanser
This revitalizing cleanser with water-activated microbeads deep cleans and exfoliates without stripping or drying. The White Tea and China Clay enriched lather purifies skin, washing away environmental pollutants. The gentle micro-beads help remove dull, lifeless skin for a perfectly polished complexion.
We’re going back to basics and go for a brand that you’d normally see in the supermarket or a local drugstore. But we are going to take a closer look at the benefits of this product.
I’ve been using Pond’s facial wash as a facial cleanser for a few years now. Ever since I dropped the …read more
