WINTER BODYCARE | 冬季潤膚必備

Although the dryness of winter was slightly delayed this year, it doesn't mean that we should only nourish our bodies when it comes! If you're looking for a good hydrating body cream, I've got you covered. In this post I'm going to talk about my favorite moisturizing body products this year.  雖然這個冬天真的不太冷... 但不代表我們不用為身體肌膚做好保濕及保護措施喔！如果正在煩惱自己適合用什麼潤膚產品，希望這段文章能幫您。 B O D Y  L O T I O N S ｜ 潤 膚 乳
Although I personally don't mind indulging a thick, buttery cream during the winter days, I know some people prefer to opt for a lighter consistency during the daytime to avoid that thin layer of film on the surface of the skin. That's why body lotions are so great because they are lighter in consistency and absorb into the skin much faster. If you like body lotions, you will love the Melvita Nectar de Roses Hydrating Body Veil or Le Chateau du Bois Nourishing Body Lotion. Depending on your preference of scent (both roses and lavender are totally up my street so I'm keeping both), their light yet moisturizing formula enables your skin to take in the nourishment whilst smoothening out your skin at the same time. Both are fair to use throughout the entire year regardless of season, but I'd opt for the lavender scent before bed to soothe and prep me for a deep, deep sleep. 雖然我個人對一些濃厚的潤膚霜反感，但質感比較薄的潤膚乳迅速被皮膚吸收 也是大部分姐妹的首選。最近非常喜歡的有Melvita 玫瑰水凝身體潤膚乳 或 Le Chateau de Bois 薰衣草潤膚乳。感覺都是香味之差，兩種味道我都大愛！）。兩款雖然質感薄但塗上身體後迅速吸收，而且感覺皮膚更柔滑。其實不一定是冬天才能用，而我自己比較喜歡睡覺前用薰衣草味 有助舒緩及好睡一點。 B O D Y  B U T T E R S | 潤 膚 霜
Whenever someone says 'Body Butter' I imagine myself drowning in a bath of melted butter topped with whipped cream. It's thicker, soufflé consistency feels like I'm wearing an armor throughout my skin's battle against dryness. My favorites are the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream and the Nip + Fab Pistachio Sundae Dry Skin Fix Body Butter (don't they sound amazing already?). I use them alternatively depending on my mood and time - but always opt for Sugar Crush on a dry winter morning as its scent has that magical power to instantly wake you for the day. The Pistachio Sundae scent is probably not everyone's favorite - you have to really love pistachio to bear applying this scent on your body, but I simply can't say no to its fluffy texture.  每當有人說Body Butter的時候 都會幻想自己跳進一個浴缸，而浴缸裡面充滿溶掉的牛油和香香的奶油！潤膚霜的質感會比較濃，厚一點的。就像乾燥與我之間的鬥爭時能保護我的盔甲。一直很喜歡的就是Soap & Glory的 Sugar Crush潤膚霜和Nip + Fab開心果新地潤膚霜 （聽起來已經很棒對不對？）。兩款我都會輪流用，視乎使用時的時間和心情，但是Sugar Crush是早上必須用的。它的味道非常提神！而開心果味道不是人人都會喜歡，其實真的是開心果味的粉絲才敢塗在身上吧，但是它的軟軟的質感實在難以抗拒呢。 B O D Y  O I L S  &  S H O W E R  C R E A M S 精 華 油 及 沐 浴 乳 Other hydrating bodycare alternatives may include body oils like the Melvita L'Or Rose Firming Oil or the Le Chateau du Bois Shower Cream. A bath doesn't get better with a rose-scented essential oil to top it off as if it were the icing to a cake. I love Melvita's spray bottle as I no longer spill oil everywhere on my counter top. The fragrance is absolutely luxurious and is great for those who are thinking about anti-aging - and yes, even our body needs it! Although it is marketed as a slimming oil I don't find it particularly effective in that aspect, I love how smooth it makes my skin feel.  For those "lazy" ones, an in shower body cream is just what you need. One step and that's it, perfect for when you are in a hurry! 除了上面提及過的潤膚產品，大家還可以選擇精華油／植物油 或者是沐浴乳。後者絕對是懶人必備！精華油不單止有抗衰老，簡單橙皮紋的作用，Melvita的有機粉紅胡椒緊緻瘦身油是泡浴後的精華步驟，就像在蛋糕上最後一層的糖衣。雖然它是賣瘦身為主，但我自己沒有見到什麼特別瘦身效果。反而覺得它非常滋潤，味道很高貴，而且每次塗上後皮膚都非常柔軟。 比較懶或者常常很趕時間的姐妹可以考慮Le Chateau du Bois的沐浴乳。是一個二合一的沐浴露及潤膚乳，加上舒緩的薰衣草味非常relax!  What's your must-have bodycare product during the dry Winter season?  Let me know in the comments!  您這個冬季的必需品是什麼？留言分享吧！

FRESH ROSE FACE MASK 玫瑰保濕面膜 | R E V I E W

又到了乾燥的冬季，我的混合肌也漸漸變了非常乾肌。

早上沒有太多時間敷paper mask 所以襯在泰國Sephora有減價的時候買了這個寶貝回來。

首先它是一個gel mask, 皮膚更容易吸收。而且最棒的就是只需要敷5-10分鐘便可清洗！

So here we are again, the dry winter season where skin begins to crack and peel. Oh JOY!

I got the FRESH Rose Mask with a discount at Sephora, Thailand (Thanks Zen!) and have been using this most mornings when I roll out of bed and don't have time for a 20-30 minute paper mask. This one only requires 5-10 minutes of your morning, and I love how it's a gel consistency so it absorbs into the skin super duper fast.

包裝當然都有影響的。這個限量版包裝是由Jo Ratcliffe設計，樽身的玫瑰圖案很華麗，也讓我更想使用它。喜歡它的包裝是玻璃樽 能讓產品保持新鮮 預防陽光射入影響品質，所以這個包裝都有影響它的價錢的。

This limited edition packaging though! Designed by Jo Ratcliffe, the rose graphics on the luxurious glass jar just makes you want to reach for it even more. I love how it's a sturdy packaging, which probably explains the hefty price tag, yet it keeps the product fresh by minimizing exposure to sunlight. 

啫喱狀催促吸收能力，而且裡面有純正玫瑰花瓣！

There's even pure rose petals in there, and the gel-like consistency feels lovely on the skin. 

Fresh說：「它可以爲肌膚保濕，調節膚色，讓皮膚回復柔潤光澤。」

用後感：

首先要讚讚它吸收能力真的很快，未到五分鐘已經感覺到它已被吸收 到要洗走的時候 面膜不會像剛剛塗上般水潤 而變了一層薄薄的一層。

清洗後覺得皮膚飽滿了 恢復彈性，就像皮膚喝飽水一樣。

調色方面就覺得沒差 是皮膚帶有點光澤。

最大的分別就是清洗後塗上精華素及面霜都迅速吸收了！

它裡面的青瓜萃取物及蘆薈啫喱都有助舒緩肌膚，覺得這個產品非常適合一些因乾燥而導致敏感的皮膚。油性皮膚的朋友都應該不會抗拒 因為它質感很薄而且吸收速度很快，不會覺得黏著皮膚。

味道也非常清新，不會像人造香料的。早上塗上都覺得很舒緩

現在差不多每天早上都會敷這個 實在太快太方便而且功效不錯，只是覺得晚上敷的話不太夠滋潤（到了冬天我皮膚超級乾），晚上我會選擇我的Leaders 胺基酸面膜或者Innisfree蜜糖面膜。

如果問我 這個值得買嗎？我個人不會正價的時候買下它。最好等有折扣，或者有禮盒套裝的時候才買。雖然我很喜歡它 而且都覺得很好用，但是HK$540才有100ml真的有點貴，特別是以我使用的速度 相信很快就用光光了！

如果有用過這個產品的話 記得留言分享你的用後感！
如果沒用過，你會有興趣買來試試嗎？

FRESH says:  "The Rose Face Mask hydrates and tones the complexion to restore radiance and suppleness to all skin types." BETHNI says: I have to say that this absorbs real fast into the skin. At the 5 minute mark, I can feel and see it absorbed, leaving a fine layer of film on the skin instead of the watery gel that was there when I first applied it. After rinsing it off I felt my skin (don't we all?). It definitely felt supple, and even feels like my skin drank up all the moisture and you can actually feel the elasticity in the skin.  In terms of toning, I don't see a major difference after one use, but the skin does have a slight radiance. However the biggest difference was that the serum and face cream I applied after rinsing the mask off absorbed like a dream.  The Rose Face Mask also contains cucumber extract and aloe vera jelly to help soothe the skin, which is great for those whose skin gets sensitive from dryness.  I imagine it would be a great mask for oily skin types too, with its lightweight consistency and rapid absorbing power - it doesn't feel sticky after rinsing. Skin simply feels refreshed, hydrated, supple and soft.  I now use this pretty much every morning, even on lazy days. I love how the smell isn't super florally or artificial, it is perfect for a quick morning pamper. However it doesn't tick all the boxes for me for an evening mask in the winter, just because it's a bit too light and my dry skin craves more of nourishment in the evening. Probably would be a great one for the Summer though and hope this jar lasts me till then!  If you ask me if this is worth the hype and price, I would say... I love it, but I wouldn't pay full price for it. Probably best to get it if it ever goes on sale; with a gift set/as a gift or with a discount code. As much as I love it, it is a bit too pricey for a 100ml, especially when I can't stop using this stuff and feel like I will run out really fast.  Don't forget to comment and let me know what you think if you've tried it, or whether you will be trying this out!
