birthday Thursday, March 22, 2018

Here are the things I've learnt in my Twenty Three

1) I'm beyond blessed to be able to wake up every morning healthy and have a loving family by my side.

2) Nothing is forever

3) Change is undeniable

4) Life is not about forcing your will instead its more of flowing with the flow

5) Take chances, never doubt yourself!

6) Be brave

7) Have courage to speak up

8) Overthinking only ruins your personal state of mind! ( definitely not worth it)

9) Walking with faith may seems dark and lonely but it'll always lead you to a place you never thought of going.

10) People who loves you will always be by your side no what ifs, or why. They just do because they love you unconditionally.

11) Always be kind even when no one is

12) Choose yourself! I know this might sound selfish but if its not you, who will choose you?

13) Be kind even to yourself, most of the times when things get hard you might beat yourself a bit too hard

14) Life always surprise you in times you least expected

15) Balancing life is important

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Now so long Twenty Three :) Thank you for shaping me into a better and stronger individual. I might not know what tomorrow holds but all I know is tomorrow will be present and its gonna be the best! These days I find joy and my heart is full whenever I can give back to my surroundings, its not about monetary aspect but also time and emotional support. I love it when I can share my experience with others and learn a lot about people through their experience as well. I feel life isn't only about receiving sometimes its about giving back! This year I want to be embrace my vulnerable side and just let raw emotions run free. No hiding back! Cause I am sure that people who love me will always be there and they are the people that matter. I like to keep my circle small so if you're in it just know that I'm very grateful for each one of you and I love you even though I don't say it often! Thank you for being my endless supporter and cheerleader in life!

At the end of the day always remember that it's not about you but it's about those people who're always there for you, who understands, trust and supports you. To everyone reading this remember you're loved and always be happy! Be grateful for all the tiny blessings in life, because sometimes without realizing we've more than we thought we have.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Focusing on their tagline which is #cthedifference Kiehl's is committed to bring significant and visible change to your skin after continuous use of their Vitamin C.

Direction of Use

Packaging

The product comes in a brownish glass container and a tube to press to product out. The brownish bottle container is designed in that way to protect the product from oxidation since Vitamin C is very prone to oxidize that's why we should always make sure to store them in room temperature and away from the Sun. The packaging itself is very effective for use, totally hassle free.

It comes in two sizes

SIZE: 2.5 oz/ 75 mL

Review

First off I would let you guys know that I'm a fan of Vitamin C cause as someone with sensitive and acne prone skin I tend to have lots of discoloration caused by acne scares. I find vitamin C very effective to fade out my discoloration and make my skin looks more even and brighter. Now coming back to this new 12.5% Vitamin C serum from Kiehl's, I would say I'm stoked! After giving it a try for a good one week + I can already see it help to fade off my previous acne scars, although I'm currently still experiencing active break outs but this vitamin C serum didn't cause any more irritation but instead it helps to calm down my redness and make my skin look more even. I love incorporating vitamin C into my skincare because I can always feel my skin become more supple, soft and refine my skin texture. Not to forget my skin looks much brighter and even :) So happy with this new Kiehl's - Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate 12.5% Vitamin C.

A few weeks back due to my hectic work and schedules and of course unbalanced lifestyle and sleeping pattern I started noticing little visible lines on my skin :( which was totally shocking for me! Who want's to age right? Not that I fear aging but I believe we should start early prevention on it. That's why I was so happy when this product's main use is to fight fine lines and after continuously using it I do notice change but I know result won't show instantly for fine lines and wrinkles that shy I have to give it more time to say more on this issue but as it evens out my skin I can see the lines starts to fade even though not fully yet.

I usually like to use this after toner as a serum step day time and evening and then continue with my moisturizer. Since Vitamin C is high in anti oxidant and acidic you need to make sure to use sunscreen always cause this will help prevent further problems. Make sure to avoid eyes area :) Pat a tiny pump for your whole face and neck area and gently massage the product.

You can now find this new 12.5% Vitamin C serum product from Kiehl's at all Kiehl's counters at department store and Kiehl's boutique all across Indonesia. Hope you find this post useful and thank you for reading, see you on my next one!
