Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

I've had skin troubles for a big part of my teenage life and even into my twenties which was extremely depressing. I've gone through almost every brand imaginable, doctors for all kinds of scary AHA products, hormone pills and whatever else you can think of. It was a very disheartening process each time, trying something new and then getting no results or worse... total painful breakouts. I used to have to wear make up all the time because my skin was so sensitive that I would get a few pimples going out for a couple of hours without make up.

Sometime during all that, I got a job working in a spa and my colleagues recommended that I go very simple. They got me generic stuff that was very soothing for my skin and didn't contain any perfume or additives. I remember the face wash was light green and smelled like cucumber. More importantly, I remembered the relief my skin felt when I washed my face with that for the first time. Since then, I was convinced that I had to go natural. 


I've read a heap about Rosehip Oil and all the good things it does for scars. It boasts to help with scars, stretch marks, eczema and other skin concerns. I now only use Trilogy Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil every night, I don't add any other night creams or moisturisers. The rosehip oil does feel a bit oily but above all, my skin feels soothed. In Singapore the organic products all cost so much and I was really hesitant, but I checked online and saw a really good brand on Strawberrynet for a really good price.


Sometimes I also do my own "facials" (via Biore Pore Pack) and after ripping off the blackheads and probably a few layers of skin, I can't use moisturisers as my skin will start to itch and get irritated. I can only use rosehip oil after. Even if I forget and use something that causes itchiness, I wash it off and use the rosehip oil... the relief is immediate. The good part is that rosehip oil doesn't cause clogged pores, considering it's oil. I know some oils do cause clogged pores but not rosehip. It feels light and just comfortable.

I know it sounds too good to be true but I swear by it. I now go out without makeup whenever I like, just with Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil on and my skin feels really good. I get mine from Strawberrynet and it's SGD$60 for 45ml (which is a really big bottle). Each time you only need 2 or 3 drops, massage that on your skin and you're good to go. You don't need a whole lot. You can even use it on scars and it's supposed to lighten the scar in time. Try it!

Hate blackheads? Biore Pore Pack

Well I've got JUST the solution for you... because I'm a little crazy and don't know what moderation is. I pushed the boundaries and found this to be SUPER effective. For the sake of all the gentlemen and ladies out there who have been spending tonnes of money and hours going for facials, trying to get better skin, I have decided to throw away my dignity and share this with you. You will probably laugh when you see the picture but I already told you that I'm crazy. So be nice!

I have super problem skin and no facial in the world has managed to help my skin get better. Instead, all the squeezing made my skin inflamed, infected or break out. In between facials I would also take it upon myself and attack my face with a vengeance. Totally mashing the bejeezus out of it to try and get it clear, then waking up the next day to a few more pimples. I've tried almost all brands of face wash, soap, AHA... but my skin is sensitive and anything and everything gives my skin the shits. Years ago when I saw the Biore Pore Pack, I thought hmmm... let me try it. I did as I was told and used 1 piece on my nose. The next week I got a stroke of genius... *light bulb comes on* If it works on my nose, it MUST work on the rest of my face!

I did some pretty hopeless pore pack patchwork on my face. Covering every spot, cut and paste. I look totally ridiculous but no one said being beautiful was easy.

Biore Pore Pack




To my delight... it worked. 80% of my blackheads were removed. Painlessly and extremely effectively. Even the ones that are impossible to squeeze out... came out. You will know when it's ready to be removed when you feel that it's hard, peel it off slowly. If it feels damp, you need to wait a while longer. Once it's off, wash your face and moisturise. I'm pretty convinced this pore pack has the same stickiness of duct tape or something. It's so super hardcore, but SO worth it. I never got more than 1 and a half weeks without doing this. Each time I use like 1 and a half packs. Each pack costs $3.90... best money I ever did spend.

One very important tip though: If you live in the tropics where it's super humid, you get the best results in an air-conditioned room. I'm impatient so on top of the air conditioner, I also blast the fan at my face. 

I considered posting photos of the results, but I think it's a bit disgusting. If I get many requests in the comments, I might surrender and post it. Like I said... for the good of all mankind. 

You can thank me later, when you're even more beautiful.
