Mineral Aqua Gel

While getting my monthly fix of CLEO fashion and beauty advices, I chanced upon an article with the headline screaming "MY SKIN FEELS DRY AND FLAKY!"

Now, I've combination skin. The T-zone gets oily really fast in this hot and humid Singapore weather, whereas the rest of my face is dry and dull. Sometimes it gets so bad that when I lather on a thin layer of BB cream, my skin looks really flaky.

According to the article, the Mineral Aqua Gel helps to get rid of the dead skin cells while nourishing the skin with the combination of amethyst, hyaluronic acid and bio-energy fluid. I chanced upon the newly launched product while shopping at Watsons and decided to give it a try.

It is supposed to be used on dry face. What I had not expected was that the 'gel' was more of a liquid gel than the usual jelly-like gel. As I rub on the gel, white flaky residues started appearing, which I presume, are my layers of dead skin cells. Upon washing off these residues, my skin actually feels smoother to touch! Unlike other exfoliators that I've tried (and gave up), this product does not feel harsh on my skin and leaves no red irritated patches. Best of all, according to the description at the back of the bottle, this gel can also be used on other parts of the body!

Love it! :)
