Review : LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮)

Today marks the last day of 2020 and tomorrow we will add a year to our age! 

Let's do a self-checklist to check if your body is GETTING OLD & if you have more than the above 2 symptoms then you are facing ageing.  I have to admit I seems to have all the symptoms above, especially my muscle was suddenly injured last month.  

I was diagnosed to have tennis elbow condition where there is an inflammation of the tendons that join the muscles of the forearm to the outside of the elbow. It often occurs due to overusing the muscles. Believe it or not, I got this from cleaning my windows. The injury is so bad that my wrist suddenly loss grip of my Samsung Note 10 while sitting down. And my phone glass has a cracked due to that.. 😥 I have been going for acupuncture but the recovery is slow and the pain is still there especially when I stretch my arms straight.

So when Wellnous approached me to try out this LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮), I researched & found out that this product promises healthier skin condition, better blood circulation and joint health. I quickly agreed to try because besides wanting to improve my skin condition, I wanted to improve my health condition.

LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) is an anti-ageing antioxidant and anti-glycation ready to drink botanical beverage formulated in New Zealand. 

LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) is made of 4 major patented natural ingredients (Enzogenol Pine Bark Extract, SOD Extramel, Puredia Sea Buckthorn Extract, Sirtmax Black Turmeric Extract) that is rich in antioxidants that provide anti-aging, anti-glycation, and anti-inflammatory effect hence it's able to improve skin condition, blood circulation and joint health.

This health beverage is suitable for both gender to consume & have HALVEC certified, fat free & suitable for vegan as well.

Each LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) box comes with 16 ready to drink sachet

LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) Nutrition Information

Shake well before tearing the sachet. 

Love this LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) ready to drink packaging, as it's handy and easy to bring anywhere to consume.

The liquid is in brown colour and it tastes fruity (pretty easy to drink for me!). 

Recommend to take 1 sachet daily after meal.

After consuming the whole box (16 sachets) of LIVEON for more than 2 weeks, I felt my skin feel more hydrated & glowing. And usually during PMS I will have breakout and this month I don't have any. In fact before I tried LIVEON products, I have some breakout due to stress & it felt the acne quickly recover while I was consuming LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮). 

I won't say my elbows have totally recover but I think it's getting better somehow. And I believe with  my on going acupuncture treatment, the anti-inflammatory effect from LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) is probably helping to to reduce the pain on my elbows.

With improved skin health, I only need to put on light makeup if I ever need. 

LIVEON Anti Ageing Beverage (逆龄抗糖饮) is sold through their authorized dealer. Kindly send a PM to Wellous Facebook page if you have any enquiry or visit the below links :-

My choice of Korean special care travel essential!

I have been traveling quite intensely for the past few months since August from Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh, Mui Ne, Nha Trang and Dalat (and I got a trip in coming 2 week time!) and to keep my skin healthy is not easy. Constant exposure to dirt & sun make my skin are more prone to breakout. If I could bring my Panasonic Nanocare Facial Steamer would be great but I think to pack a few tubes of skincare seems more convenient. I truly felt that besides our usual skincare routine here like cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser, we need some special care to help to boost & pamper our skin health!

 As you might know Korean skincare is known to use a lot natural ingredients passed down from generation to generation. This tradition continues today with formulations that tend to shun harsh chemicals and draw from the Earth plus they are pretty affordable in general. So while I was googling to look for solution from Korean skincare brand I stumbled on a few articles on ProductNation Malaysia talking about this and they have the latest product reviews, products on-trend, consumer favourite and best of all an indication of price (btw the prices could change based on the e-commerce promotions that are going on)

Below are some of special care products from Korean brands I have researched and read their skin care review in Malaysia before trying out myself and I think these are great to maintain our kin during travel.

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask 

A mask with Micro Clay Mask containing Super Volcanic Clusters that is effective at absorbing excessive sebum and fine dust stuck between small pores and wrinkles. Formulated with 84.7% naturally derived ingredients, including 6,020 mg Jeju Volcanic Cluster and 5 proven exfoliants (volcanic clusters, walnut shells, cellulose, AHAs, BHAs). This 6-in-1 pore solution mask in a light, airy mousse helps: 

1. minimize the look of pores 
2. absorb sebum 
3. gently exfoliate 
4. deeply cleanse 
5. even skin tone
6. keep skin feeling cool 

I prefer the mousse over the jar version one as the pump allows for easy and mess-free application. I like how my skin feel very clean after using this however I can only use 1 to 2 times a week as it is pretty drying and I need to put on a hydrating mask right after.

Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask EX

A peel-off mask that removes dead skin cells and impurities for smoother skin. This mask includes finely ground Solomon’s Seal, fine honey, and Japanese Honeysuckle to leave skin look clear and translucent. This mask also contains natural ingredients including pine, licorice, Cnidium Officinale, and Angelica Acutiloba. I always love peel off mask but most of them are drying but this one is not. 

I love the ginseng scent super soothing and relaxing. I love how the skin was much noticeably cleaner and smoother after each use.

 Skin Food Rice Mask Wash Off 

An exfoliating and moisturizing scrub mask with grains which is based on rice and rice extract. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous. I have been using this product for at least like 10 years and yet this is one of the best classic scrub mask around that is so affordable to own.

Skin Food Black Sugar Mask Wash Off 

Another mask from SkinFood. This sweet mask wash-off features organic black sugar granules that exfoliate and nourishes skin, leaving you feeling smooth and clean. 

Among the 2,091 reviews in ProductNation for this 4-star rated product, people are saying how much cleaner, refreshed and softer their skin feels after using it.It’s not hard to tell why because this mask is really affordable yet the result is immediate! Skin feel super smooth, moist and soft after using it with a sweet scent left behind.

Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel 

Soak in the goodness of Californian aloe vera with this soothing gel. This is super mild on skin, it can be used to moisturise face, arms, legs, and hair. The vitamins from aloe vera also protect your skin from harmful UV rays and best use to soothe burn skin. I swear by this and always bring this along when I travel and I have a few jars of these product places around on my working table, vanity table and beside my table so it’s easy to reach.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask 

Besides their best seller sleeping mask, I think a lot of us often forget that the most important part of our smile is our beautiful lips.This sleep-in mask for the lips will gently melts away dead skin cell leaving lips moist and supple the next morning. A must have for me while I travel so that I can have beautiful looking lips for my travel pictures! 

These are some of the best Korean skincare product recommendation I researched via online and have tried personally and I hope you find it useful. I think there are too many products I bought in the past which are impulse purchase. Hence now I have become a smarter consumer (cos wan save money for traveling!) where I will actually Google for reviews, before trying out the sample or feel it at store before buying an actual size.

Review of Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity after 4 weeks!

Remember a month ago I was sharing that I started my anti-aging journey with the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range. I’m happy to report back with my review and tell you how I feel about each of the products and whether they work for me. Basically this range promises to strengthen skin’s elasticity for firmer, fresher, and more radiant skin. Also did I mention that this range smells really good? I think it does!

The Serum in Oil is the hero product and my favourite product from the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range. This serum improves skin elasticity and smoothens the overall appearance of the facial skin with its nourishing formula, containing Lady’s Thistle, Vitamin E and Argan Oil.

One interesting feature of the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity Serum in Oil is that you can apply it either before or after your day or night care products. Or if you prefer, you can mix the oil into your facial cream in the palm of your hand and apply both together. 

Personally I like to apply a few drops of the oil before my moisturiser in the morning and in the evening I will apply it as the last step as I like to spend a bit more time to massage my face with the serum.

Although this is an oil, it absorbs nicely into my skin upon application. It’s important to rub & warm up the serum in the palm before application. I like how it left my skin feeling moisturised with a satin-like finish.

Meanwhile the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity Eye Care cream helps to plump up wrinkles and protects the eye area from UV induced ageing with its SPF15 sunscreen formulation. I’m excited to come across eye care with SPF!

The product is pretty creamy hence a little goes a long way, yay! I only use a pea sized drop and put it on the tip of my ring finger to massage in the product. I am glad to report that this product does not cause any oil seeds.

As you can see there is a difference in texture between the day & night cream. The night cream is thicker and creamier compared to the day cream. Now the moment of truth, I’m going to share a close up picture of my face and then share my review after I have used the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range for more than 4 weeks.

Usually after holidays my skin will be dehydrated due to constant sun exposure, but this time around not only does my skin look healthy, it looks glowy and brighter too! Another thing I noticed is that my skin tone evened up. It looks absolutely healthy & glowing after a month usage. Pretty amazing considering I just took his picture few days ago after I came back from my year end holiday.

Before / After picture aftter 4 weeks of trying Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity 

Close up comparison! Moment of truth. As you can see I think my spot are reduced by a little bit! The pores are definitely smaller and my skin looks smoother! So amazing!!!

Overall I would say that Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range has achieved what it promises. My skin really looks fresher, glowing and the fine lines seem to be fading out.

Even makeup also turns out to be flawless and long lasting. 

I highly recommend this Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity to to those who are aged 25 and above and are looking for an effective anti-aging range! The prices are pretty reasonable and products are easily available in all Guardians nationwide. Try it today to see the results!

By the way, I tried out this Eucerin Face-Age Test Mirror at the Eucerin display in KLCC Guardian outlet in Suria KLCC shopping mall, it can evaluate skin elasticity, firmness, and overall radiance of the face to determine the age of you facial skin. Don’t forget to visit and try out this magic mirror at either Guardian KLCC or Guardian Mid Valley.

Review of Diamond Coral Refined Filter Water System after two months usage!

Recently the weather is so hazy. It's best to stay indoors and don't forget to drink lots of water to flush out the toxins!

Speaking of that, I have been using Diamond Coral Water for more than 2 months and honestly it has changed my perception on tap water. I never really notice how dirty is our water until I opened up the filter to wash recently..

I opened using the tools given inside the box, just lock and twist to open.

OMG!!!! So yellowish... Nearly fainted when I saw this. So much dirt and soil..cannot imagine if we drink unfiltered water!

I began cleaning using the brush given, just brush lightly and those dirt is coming off...

How do we know when we need to clean our filter? When you feel the water pressure is lower which is about two months once you need to clean it.

Out of the 6 filters, we only need to wash filter A.

Besides drinking at least 8 glass of Diamond Coral Water a day, I have tried to practice a healthier lifestyle. I go for swimming occasionally and made home cooked food whenever I'm free.

I usually soak vegetables & fruits in Diamond Coral Water for 30 minutes to remove toxic agricultural chemicals. 

I can't imagine using tap water to wash rice and vegetables, it might further add dirt to it... Hahah...so please get a Diamond Coral Water filter yo!

I boiled my favourite watercress with pork and red dates!

I felt that Diamond Coral Water taste sweeter than my previous filter and it actually made me feel that my cooking taste better! Even white rice taste better, softer and feel less starchy with Diamond Coral Water. 

And one very interesting thing is that when usually I clean the seafood it has this fishy smell on my hands and Diamond Coral Water can actually clean away the fishy smells from my hands! So amazing!

I carry my Diamond Coral water in my bag everyday! 

I read that alkaline water helps the body neutralize acid in the blood, provides more energy, slows the aging process. Also drinking alkaline antioxidant water all day long will help you prevent and even reverse free radical damage. Not sure how true is this, but one of the biggest difference I have realized after drinking Diamond Coral Water at home is my digestion has improved and I do not feel "gassy" after meal compared to before. I used to have really bad gastric problem but seems like having this alkaline water seems to help neutralized the acid in my stomach. 

I guess although Diamond Coral Water is a little bit more expensive than your usual filtered but i guess some of the benefits I mentioned worth the investment. Since water is the daily liquid that we need to have to help our body to distribute essential nutrients to cells, such as minerals, vitamins and glucose in our body, it think it's importance for us to pick a good water filter such as Diamond Coral Water to provide us clean & healthier water for our body.

Diamond Coral is now available at RM2980 (WM) / RM3060 (EM) 

EM Filter Replacement Service Fee/year: RM994 (WM) / RM1020 (EM) 

Note: 

Filter Replacement Service Fee is inclusive of:

Review : Clarins Body Shaping Cream

It's no secret that I love Clarins skincare and here are some of my favourite!

If you haven't try their HydraQuench Mask or One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, you should totally try them. I lost count how many tubes of HydraQuench Mask I have used actually. And thanks to my friend recommendation Juli I bought this One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. I actually bought one tube when I arrived Taipei Airport but accidentally left it in the first hotel after using for one time before moving to another hotel. And came back to KLIA2 Airport and bought this tube again cause I  really like it!

I have heard so much about Clarins body products but haven't really try it.

With me here is the new Clarins Body Shaping Cream that helps to target stubborn fat, firms and redefines shape.

It has Organic Quince extract which helps improve firmness and elasticity and Hibiscus Flower acids and Betaine which helps to hydrate and smoothed the skin 

It comes in a super big jar! 

The texture is light cream type which leave the skin smooth after application. The texture has the melting designed formula that is easy to use for massage. It is neither oily or sticky after application, yay! I really like the light floral-woody scent which gives a sense of freshness after application.  

It's recommended to use Clarins Anti Stubborn Curves Self Massage Method.

How to apply Clarins Body Shaping Cream: 

1. Apply a small amount of Clarins Body Shaping Cream to the targeted area 

2. Massage your cream in circular motions to increase circulation and target the deeper tissues 

3. Use daily for optimal results.

What I usually do before I sleep is to glide through my fists over my hips, abdomen, arms and other targeted area before I massage in circular motion.

In case you are wondering, this is not a magic cream that can works overnight to slim you down. It needs determination to apply this Clarins Body Shaping Cream daily to see result, it's better to use hard pressure while doing massaging as it will effectively break down fat and it's a bit painful honestly. I can feel slightly ache at some areas and my body felt a little bit lighter. I guess it takes the bloatedness and water retention away. Luckily the muscle soreness disappeared quickly after a few days leaving the skin firmer each and every time. 

To get the triple sculpting, firming and refining action in a sumptuously soft formulation to be working, it is also important to have healthy & balance lifestyle to complement. And I have tried to sleep early nowadays, go for swimming and eat healthily (avoid eating too late etc) hopefully can lose all the stubborn fats away slowly and healthily.

Clarins Body Shaping Cream is priced at RM245 for 200ml and available in Clarins counters.
