[B.Liv] Off with those heads

Few weeks ago, I was emailed by B.liv team to try one of their product, Off with those heads.
This product is specialized to remove blackheads and whiteheads. Also, to reduce large pores size.
Sounds interesting?

About B.Liv (Quoted from their website),
B.Liv is skincare line under Cellnique. Cellnique has been the leading paramedical brand in professional skincare industry for over fifteen years. Cellnique has intensively focused on providing the best available skincare solutions- namely, its well-known 9x9 skin care matrix – through professional consultation with skin care centre.


Their aim to create Off with those heads is to help people who has blackheads and whiteheads problem. Therefore it's really suitable for tropical countries.
Why?
After experiencing to live in other country with 4 season (Australia), I feel that I got more skincare problems (such as acne and blackheads) while I'm in Indonesia.


Ingredients
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Menthol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidiny Urea.

Let's jump to my review..


Packaging
This product comes in plastic bottle. Eventhough I prefer it to be made from glass (to looks more classy), but the materials they use for the packaging is good (doesn't made from cheap type of plastic). From the bright side, this item is light and easy to fit in your skincare bag.

Once you open the cap, there's a pump and the liquid will come.


Scent
The scents is nice and doesn't stings so I think you don't need to worry about it~
Also, rather than having particular scent, actually the cooling feels stands the most. 
The first time I apply, it kinda stings my eyes. However it doesn't happen on my next application.


Texture
It's designed as serum-type, so you can apply it easily. When it comes out, it looks like gel, but actually it's watery.


Below is my before and after picture after using this product for 2 weeks (I use it frequently every night).
*Actually if you use it every morning and night (as directed), the result might be better than mine.


On before picture, I took the photos 1 day after using porepack. I don't have any whiteheads but I have many blackheads on my nose and my pores are kinda big. Eventhough I have normal skin face type, but my T-zone are dry (especially in nose area).

On after picture, my skin is improving. I have few blackheads, but it can be get rid easily by gently wipe my nose after washing my face. Therefore, I don't have to squeeze anymore to make the blackheads comes out.
I also feel that my nose now creating enough oil so that my nose aren't dry anymore and my pores are getting smaller.

**note:
Result might differ for people with different skin types with me.
I'm not sure for the result with people who have oily skin types. Also, since I don't have whiteheads, I don't know if this product could removes whiteheads. You may refer to other reviews for better understanding :)

PROS

Beauty Secret of Flawless Face

Who doesn't want to have a nice baby skin?
Well, I believe almost every woman dream of having a flawless skin, including me :P
So, here's some tips and trick from me on how to take care our skin.


1. Drink lots of WATER (1 day min. 4 litre)
Water is really good for our health, and of course good for our skin too <3 Water is actually helps our digestive system, which make people won't get starving easily.




2. Eat Clean
What does it mean? Basicly, the most important things is to avoid eating fried foods.
It's not totally that you shouldn't eat the fried foods, but it will be good if you quit to eat fried foods at all. Not only you have a nice skin, you will also be more healthy and it will prevent us to have cholesterol.

Here's some food pictures that I made and of course it's healthy! :3










3. Eat many fruits and veggie
Fruits and veggie contains many vitamin and minerals which can help us to get a 'baby' skin by making it smoother.




Have you heard 'an apple a day keeps the doctors away' ?


Well, I encourage you to eat many fruits and veggies everyday to keep healthy~ xD




4. Skincare routine
This step is really important too! People absolutely won't get a clear skin by only doing the 3 tricks which I mention above.
Basicly, you only need to wash your face with face wash every morning and night. But, it will be really good if you add toner and face lotion into your daily skincare, because actually it helps a lot for preventing the unwanted acne on face.

Here, I will introduce you my 'weapon' for daily skincare routine :) All of these products were really great, especially the toner xD

Neutrogena pure mild facial cleanser - Body Shop Tea Tree Toner - Body Shop Tea Tree Lotion



When I'm writing these things, it's actually not only a made up story which is written based on my thought. I actually already do ALL of the 4 things above. It's proved, by doing all the steps my skin is not only better, but I have a smooth and moist skin <3
Moreover, I need to be honest that actually sometimes I'm lazy to wash my face and do the skincare routine at night (don't do this guys xD). But it didn't makes my face have lots of acne.

Finally, I have to say that the choice is in your hand. Do you want to have the 'baby' and flawless skin? Then, achieve it by doing the 4 steps.
Good luck! :D
