A month ago I was invited to try out a BelleWave a Switzerland skincare. To be honest, I have somehow heard of the name before but I just don't remembered where I have heard or read about it. Later I found out BelleWave are salon exclusive products and it has been in Malaysia for more than 15 years , then it reminds me that I actually seen them in my neighborhood salon.
I read that BelleWave products are FREE FROM MINERAL OIL and it's botanical based with NO animal testing. BelleWave understands that there is a fine line between SAFETY and EFFICACY in the world of professional dermal and wellness care. The ability to balance both brings BelleWave a step closer to the cherished goal – SKIN PERFECTION.
Under BelleWave, there are 7 ranges to target to different skin need.

- BelleWave HydroWave - For dehydrated skin in need for moisture boost
- BelleWave EyeWave - For nourishing and anti-aging eye care
- BelleWave Sunwave - For broad-spectrum sun protection
- BelleWave BodyWave - For ultimate body perfection
I was recommended to use this BelleWave a mix of WhiteWave & HydroWave range based on my skin condition; i.e dehydrated and dull skin. Now that I have tried out BelleWave skincare for about a month, I am ready to to share my personal experience in using the products in details.

I always believe in double cleansing in our basic skincare regime whether you put on make up or not ever since I learnt about importance of it. Because if we do not clean your skin properly with the right product and method, our skin will be unable to absorb the product that we applied i.e we will waste our expensive serum or moisturiser.
Review of BelleWave WhiteWave Gentle Cleasing Milk
I like the cleansing milk fruity scent which give very nice refreshing scent while I remove my makeup. I massage 2 pump of BelleWave WhiteWave Gentle Cleasing Milk on my whole face before removing my makeup effortlessly with cotton pad. I was glad to find out that the active ingredient papaya enzyme helps to exfoliate my dead skin cell on my face while I remove my makeup without drying out my face, leaving it soft and comfortable.
Do take note that if you are having a very heavy & waterproof eye makeup, I would suggest you to use separate lip & eye makeup remover to effectively clean your waterproof makeup because using cleansing lotion to clean eye makeup is a little bit tedious and one needs to be careful so that the cleansing milk did not go into the sky

Review of BelleWave Sunwave DNA De-Tox UV Block White SPF 45 PA+++
I can never leave my house without putting on my sunblock and moisturiser cos I have learn the hard way. When I was younger, I was a outdoor person loves going hiking and camping yet I do not put on sunblock until I was in college. I just hate the sticky feeling. Over the years I learn the the sun’s noxious UV rays and other environmental pollutants how it will makes our skin age faster than our real age. Scary isn't it ? So girls please do not skip your sunblock, there are plenty of sunblock that are non-greasy and one of them are BelleWave SunWave UV Block.
BelleWave Sunwave DNA De-Tox UV Block White SPF 45 PA+++ texture is lightweight creamy and spread evenly on my skin without leaving a white cast. I was told this non-greasy, ultra-light emulsion can be a 2 in 1 product for people for oily skin because this has contains shea butter that can keep the skin moist and protected at the same time. It took a few good minutes to absorb before I could barely feel the product is on my skin. Love how my skin feels velvety, smooth and light throughout the day!
My before pic (taken a month back) : This is one of my worst skin condition I had in this few year.
My life was really hectic back in December and January, and I took this picture just before I had my period so you can see the blemishes here and there a bit. I think not only I was feeling stress but then I also lack of sleep. So my skin was really bad that I was thinking twice should I show you this picture. Feeling ashamed of my skin condition but then I decided to show you this because I want to show you the real problem of my skin.
Problem spotted : Dehydrated skin, open pores, skin peeling
I thought I could hide my flaw behind the makeup but then I can't hide the fact that my skin was peeling badly on the nose and chin at that time. It also came to the point that my makeup looked floating on my skin i.e the foundation looks flakey and cakey because my skin is really dry. I have tried doing masks every alternate night and applying my usual hydrating serum it seems to get a little bit better but the problems still remains.
So when BelleWave offers me to try out their hydration products I took up the challenge because I was desperate to look for solution.
After picture: A month after trying out BelleWave skincare
I was really glad my skin has improved. The pores looks smaller going back to my normal state, face feel moisture and soft nowadays. And more importantly there is no more peeling and my face has this little radiant glow now.
I think the cleansing range really helps me to clear off my skin from impurities so that my skin is able to absorb the goodness on the products I used. To be honest, I never thought exclusive salon products can be that good because I always thought they are expensive and I get my products from the beauty counter. And now that I try and I found out their pricing, actually not much difference from counter brand. And in case you want to know my favourite products from these range are their facial wash, toner, hydrating serum and moisturiser!
And I would say that this is a good time for you to try out BelleWave range because they are having special promotion without any purchase needed.
