The Body Shop : Tea Tree Face Mask

Recently, I have been using Tea Tree Face Mask from THE BODY SHOP.

Ever since I smelled and used the body shop's body butters, they got me. I am a huge fan.
So, when I found tea tree face mask from the body shop, I was exited.

Texture:
A bit thicker
Smell:
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of tea tree smell. It smells like grass, leaves, mints, ... it doesn't mean that it is a bad smell. Tea tree smell just doesn't suit me, I guess. BUT I enjoyed using this face mask.
How was it?:
Tea tree makes our skin to cool down instantly and lifts away impurities. It's great for our hot / warm skin during the summer. Our skin needs to cool down too!
But without knowing what tea tree does at the 1st time using tea tree product, I got scared. It's because my skin instantly started feeling super minty and I wasn't sure if my skin was feeling super hot or cold. (8_8") So, I read the package and did a little bit of research about tea tree. haha So, don't worry! If you thought the same way as I did, you are not alone. We're buddies. haha

How do I use it?

1. Wash your face
2. Dry your face with a clean towel
3. Take Tea Tree Face Mask a little by little

4. Apply Tea Tree Face Mask on your face
5. Avoid your eyes and around your eyes
I didn't do good job on this one. I touched my eye blow with the finger and realized I got a green dot on my eye blow. Because I didn't wanna take a pic of my face with a dot on my eye blow, I applied as closer as possible to the eye area. ha

6. Wait for 10 minutes (until it gets dry a little bit)
6.5. Enjoy your skin getting cool down rapidly yet gradually

(I totally look like an alien)

7. Wash off the face mask by cold water
It looks like some people just wipe it off by towels and stuff. Because I want my pores to get smaller and don't want them to keep the mask forever, I wash it off with cold water.
8. Follow your daily routine of beauty products

I use this product especially after having a lot of fun under the Sun.

Other than that, I am trying to use this twice a week at least.

Talk to you later

Jojoba Oil

Hola, friends!! Water in Japan and Water in US are very different. Some states have pretty bad water that have damaged my hair. How bad is it? um... my friend dyed her hair color from black to greenish brown without bleaching it. A week later, A WEEK LATER, she had very very light brown; almost blond. It's surely caused by other factors as well, but you will hear people from different places complaining about how bad the water is for their hair. I couldn't believe it. "Water is water" This was my thought. Then, I came to Oregon, I felt the difference. (I have been using same shampoo and conditioner for 4 years.) My hair is good! Oregon's water and weather are pretty good! Anyway, I finally decided to take care of my hair!

(⊃´∀｀)⊃ "Ellips Hair Vitamin"

I purchased this hair treatment when I went to Indonesia. Don't worry! It seems like we can buy this in different countries and on online. It contains Jojoba Oil, Pro Vitamin B5, and more natural things such as Aloe Vera. Have you heard of Jojoba Oil? I'd heard of Moroccan Oil, coconuts oil, olive oil, etc. When I saw "Jojoba Oil" on it, I did a little tiny research of the oil. It helps to soften skins and hair, so that it's used for many beauty products. (More information : Top 10 Uses of Jojoba Oil ). I found Jojoba oil to be very useful. These tiny things can really make my hair very soft!

How do we use it?

apply it to the damaged part of your hair

simple, isn't it? My favorite parts of this product are 1, not greasy 2, small. This is a perfect size for taking to trips. I hate carrying my beauty products when I go on a trip. They use many spaces, put weights, make me worried of leaking, and sometimes make me want to cry. GEEZ!! 。・+゚・(ノд+)・+゚・。Ellips don't take spaces. When it's done, I can throw the small containers away. Personally, I prefer floral smells. BUT this convenience makes me like this products! Of course, I took some with me to Portland on memorial weekend. (Check it out : memorial day weekend blog)

It's SUPER hard to see how soft my hair is on the picture, but I decided to use ellips and take a picture on the bus to share with you! Can you see the difference? baha! It's definitely smooth. My hair got moisturized but not oily at all. I really enjoy using this "cute pink hair treatments"!

It was not expensive in Indonesia. If you go there, I recommend you to get one!!
I would love to read what you use for your hair(*'ω'*) My goal is to try as many hair products as possible and find a perfect one for my hair!! hehe Hope you enjoyed my first review.

hugs :)
