I got new skin problems when I'm going 30, and this is how I treat it (Part 1 : Wrinkles)

My new skincare products

Have you read my previous blogpost?? Well, at that post I wrote that I have a lot of beauty content that I'd write on my blog. I had this because of one reason : Lately I got so much problem on my skin, and I need to change (almost all) my skincare. It's been few months for me to try those new skincare, and I'm ready to review all of them. For the next few days, I'll write some posts about reviews of those products, based on the problems that I had. This topic will be divided into 3 parts, where each parts will discuss about 1 problem. First, I'll write about the main problems that I really worry about, and I didn't expect to get it when I'm going 30.

Fine lines, smile lines, wrinkles
OK, I start with the worst skin problem, which I shouldn't get on my age (I just 27). But these things are real!! I had fine lines before (precisely few years ago), and I could get rid of them by using SK II Facial Treatment Essence. Ever since then, I never forget to put this product into my skincare routine.

A few months ago, I started to see a smile line appearance on my face, and it's really disturbing. It always make a crack after few hours I wear make up and its horrible. Not just that, I also spot some fine lines under my eyes, which also disturbing as well. Since I saw these lines, I changed my skincare from brightening products into anti aging products. At this point I realized one thing,

"Step into 30 years old, you need skincare with anti aging effects more than brightening effects. Because you can use make up to make your face looks brighten instantly, but it's really hard to cover wrinkle and any fine lines on your face."

Therefore, I changed my serum and also my eye cream. For the serum, I use Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum in the morning and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for at night. These products known as the best anti aging skincare with medium range price (not cheap but also not too expensive), compared to other brand such as SK II. These serums work really well, and they reduce the appearance of smile lines. I love Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior - because as you can read on its name, it contains moisturizer and serum in 1 bottle. So it's perfect to be used at the morning rush. However, this product is not really hydrating. Therefore, I use other product for at night, which more hydrating - Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Best serum for at night : Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

To be honest, I've been eyeing on this product for a long time. Almost everyone put this serum on their night skincare routine. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair promising to treat any skin problems, while you're sleeping at night. Smoother, more radiant, and younger look, those sounds amazing and I really need it. As people said, this serum is really works. I wake up every morning with smooth and bright skin, and it also helps to reduce the fine lines. However, there's one thing that I don't like from this serum, it's the smell. There's no any fragrance added on this serum, so the smell comes from the main ingredients and it's not good. It smells like rubber or plastic, and sometimes it makes me almost throw up. But since this product really works to treat my skin problems, I'll keep using it and put it on my night skincare routine.

The jar size of Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream is so "mini". Easy to bring for traveling.

Besides serum, I also change my eye cream. As you know, my very first eye cream was SK II Stempower Eye Cream - which really can be used to reduce wrinkle around my eyes, and then I changed into Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream - which known as an eyecream that helps to loose dark circle. Well, this time I try new eye cream which promising could get rid of any problems around your eyes such as dark circle, wrinkle, and even puffy eyes. It's Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme. At the first time I was really surprised to see the "Before - After" picture of this eye cream. I have these problems for years and I still couldn't find any eye cream that could fix it. Therefore, when I found out about this eye cream, I have feelings it can help me out. And it's true! Even though still there's some fine lines, but the dark circle under my eyes start to disappeared. I've use this eye cream for a month, and it shows a good progress. So far this is the best eye cream I ever tried, and I think it's gonna be my favorite eye cream.

[Review] Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum

Hi ladiess...
Seems like it's been for a few months I didn't write any new posts in "beauty" section. I was focusing to finish writing about my travel journey and food-venture. But don't worry, because currently I have a lot of new beauty content that I gonna write on my blog. So make sure you follow my blog, twitter, and also instagram, to get new updates from me.

Quote at the packaging of Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum

This time, I'll write a review about the new skincare that surprisingly works on me. I never knew about this product before, and even I never heard of any promotion about this brand. I just found it randomly at Mecca when I was on vacation in Sydney. Mecca is a beauty store (like Sephora) that can be found in Australia. As a skincare junkie, visiting a place like this will be very exciting and I could spend for hours to find a good products (read : new skincare and make up to tried). At that moment, I found a new product that sounds really good and worth to try - Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum.

The ingredients of Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 

As you read on its name, this product contains moisturizer and serum in 1 bottle, which is a good idea for a "lazy" woman like me. It will reduce the time when you're layering your face with skincare. The other good points is this product promising to reduce wrinkles. If you ever read my previous post, you'll know that wrinkle is my biggest problem at this moment. Suddenly a smiling line has appeared and it really disturbing especially when I was using make up. This smiling line is not really deep, and I still can cover it with foundation. However, after few hours, this line "cracked" my make up and it looks horrible. Therefore, found this moisturizer and serum is liked a treasure for me.

It has a pump bottle style

Let's talk about the product. It has a very eyecatching - hot pink color for its bottle, and the size also quite big - compared to other serum. However if I read on the description, it only contains 50ml which is a normal size for serum and moisturizer. If you're wondering how's the texture, you can see at the picture below.

Very thick gel but not greasy at all

It's not as light as serum, and it also not as thick as moisturizer. It has a very unique texture that I never seen before. It has a transparant color like a gel, but it's "thicker" and easy to "freeze". Once you pumped it out on to your hand, you need to spread it on your face immediately before it "freeze" and "gone....". Why did I say gone? Because no matter how much you use this serum + moisturizer, once it spreaded on your face, it won't leave any greasy feelings like when you use other moisturizing cream. Your skin will become very smooth and feels like there's no skincare that you use previously because Kate Somerville Plumping Moisturizer + Serum create a layer that feels like a plastic covering your face. This product has a very great texture and perfect to be used as a day cream.

At the first month of usage, I have felt the effect of this product. My smiling line start to disappeared and for me it's very quick. Even though it's not completely gone, but at least it showing a progress only in 1 month. Totally recommended for whoever that looking for anti aging product, especially who likes a simple skincare.

The best anti aging serum + moisturizer

For this product, I bought it at AUD $145 (equals to IDR 1.450K) and it's quite expensive, in my opinion. This product is the most expensive skincare I ever used, after SK II Facial Treatment Essence. But, if we're looking at its function which works as anti aging product, I think it's normal price because almost every anti aging product sold at high price. Besides, this product is very legit and really has an effect. So it's worth it with the price. Will I repurchase?? For sure!!! At my age which stepping to 30 years old, I need to use some anti aging products to avoid any appearance of wrinkle. Because once a wrinkle appeared, a simple skincare routinity will be useless and you need a special treatment which costs expensive as hell to loose it.
