Aku suka sama oil2nya, macamnya banyak, n jg lg nunggu orderan hydrosol GoW jg.
Yang pernah di pake :
- Red raspbery oil (rro), krn diklaim ni oil spf plg tinggi, spf 50 loh. Nampol sih emang buat panasan, tp baunya n richnya yg bikin ngk repurchase
- Grapeseed oil , tp selain lembab, belum dpt manfaat yg lain.
Thx elea, yg mau nerima orderanku yg bawel, hehehehe......

Ya, berhubung ini thread pertama, begitu aja dulu deh.
Silakan diskusinya ladies........ Ơ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡

Tambahan skincare routine, thx to freyja
Skincare routine:

Cleanser – Use a cleanser that does the job you need it to do without stripping the skin of its natural oils but also gets off makeup or residual dirt from the atmosphere.

For example Oily skin can generally use sudsy cleansers where as dry skin usually cannot. Rosacea or Sensitive Prone skin sometimes can use sudsy and sometimes they can’t.

We generally suggest using between ¼ teaspoon to ½ tsp of cleanser though you can adjust it to your own skin needs. Usually applied to wet skin except if you are doing the Oil Cleansing Method or using one of our Creamy Cleansers to help loosen gunk in the skin. [No wait time in between products]

Manual Exfoliant – Washcloth, MicroFiber Cloth or other product that manually exfoliates the skin. The purpose of an exfoliant is to eliminate flakey skin on a semi regular basis. Manual exfoliation also stimulates the skin to create collagen which can help to refine pores and help with aging skin (lines etc) as well. Use of exfoliant products is ¼ teaspoon or ½ teaspoon (We suggest not exfoliating in general {including acids} more than 3-4 x per week max.) [No wait time in between products]

Mask – This is to pull impurities out of your skin as well as act to seal in moisture depending what you mix with your clay. We also have masks that do not have clay in them and act purely to exfoliate or help with moisture. Please see our clays page for more info on how to mix masks.

Masks are generally left on until just before dry and then wet face and take off with washcloth.

Tonic/Toner – A toner helps prepare the skin for the next part of the skincare routine and to help tone it to the proper PH if necessary, also helps to make sure skin is clear of dirt) This product is usually sprayed on the skin directly, or sprayed directly onto a cotton pad which is then used to wipe the skin. You’ll want to use enough to wet your skin thoroughly or wet the pad enough to wipe your skin with it. [5 minutes wait if possible]

Treatment – A treatment can be an acid based product, anti aging product (like peptides or retinol) acne treatment product or skin lightening product. You want to use between 1/16th teaspoon to 1/8th teaspoon depending how much your skin needs. Use this as a guideline.

Acids have a wait time of 20 minutes

Lightening products have a wait time of 5 minutes

Acne Treatment Products – wait time is 5 minutes

Anti Aging products (peptides, dmae etc) wait time is 5 minutes

Our Resurface serums or creams have a wait time of 2 hours. Though most cannot do this or do not have time to wait 2 hours so we suggest waiting at least 15 – 20 minutes.

Hydration in this step is usually in the form of a spray or hydrosol. This helps bring much needed hydration to the skin. Spritz enough to wet your skin. [No wait time in between products]

Hydrating Serums – Water based serums like our Hyaluronic Acid Serums, Hydrosol Gels or HydraGels and our other water based serums (we have many antioxidant serums which are water based) which have various actives in them help bring more hydration to the skin plus other actives that are in the serums. Use between 1/16th teaspoon to ¼ teaspoon depending on how much your skin needs or soaks up. [No wait time in between products]

Oils/Oil Based Serums/Butters or Butter blends – These bring emollience to the skin, which help loosen gunk in the skin and also help to seal in hydration. Use between 1 – 4 drops of oil generally/or 1/16th butter or butter blend. Can also be mixed with your hydrating serum to make a moisturizer right in the palm of your hand without the waxes. [No wait time in between products]

Moisturizers – This step helps seal everything in. This step is not always necessary since you get hydration and emollience with the hydrating serums and oil



Kadaluarsa Produk GoW
Finished products generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend shelf life. Shelf life is 9 months - 1 year on finished products unopened. 3 months to 6 months once opened.

(except our vitamin C serums)

Please try to keep out of high humidity or heat if possible! Store out of direct light and in dark cabinet if possible also!

Exfoliating Acid products will last 1 year

The only thing we don't suggest refrigerating is the mandelic or salicylic acid serums as those can crystalize in the refrigerator and not go back to their normal state even if you warm them up.

Here are some other things that SHOULD be refrigerated..
Hydrosols - (see hydrosols chart and shelf life information page on the website for shelf life) Take out 1/2 oz to 1 oz in a separate spray bottle from your original container and keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator!

Carrier oils - (see carrier oils chart and shelf life information page on the website) Generally you can refrigerate ALL carrier oils, they will solidify in some cases. This is FINE all you have to do is take it out warm it up at room temp and it will be liquid again!
There are some oils that have a super long shelf life like coconut oil for instance! That does not need to be refrigerated, but it cannot hurt it either!

Butters - (see butters chart and shelf life information page on the website) I would refrigerate butters too! You can take out what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Essential oils - These can be refrigerated to increase their shelf life!

Clays - Keep in a dry, dark place (shelf life is at least 2 years)

Herbs - [whole or ground] These should last a good year at least - Keep in a dark, DRY place [1 year]

Herbal Extracts - [powder] Keep these also in a dark, DRY place. You can keep in the fridge, but make sure the seal is on very tight so you don't get moisture in. [1 year at least]

Herbal Extracts - [liquid] These can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place] [3 years at least]

Jujur, awal aku berkenalan ama gow melalui bha 2% nya. Waktu itu aku lagi dilanda purging parah setelah make krim dokter. Berkat gow bha, per-lahan2 jerewi aku mengering dan minggat. Wajah jadi halus loh dan cerah. In my case, ngelupas kulit mati di wajah juga sih. Tp ngelupas nya type soft gitu, kayak daki halus gitu deh.
Ohya say, kalo gak salah aku pernah liat namamu tercantum di lapak elea, lagi pesen manuka honey ha serum, cmiiw ya say. Aku juga jadi kepincut tuh Hidden Content
