Hi! So recently i just found out that fasting (ramadhan) makes my skin more dehydrated, textured, and my skin break out (especially on my forehead). I thought it was caused by over exfoliation, so i stopped bha, retinol, & vit c.. Anything that usually will trigger sentisized skin condition for me.

But then...

After i increase my hydration and moisturization, my acne is reduced and my skin got even more supple 😭❤️ so it's not actually caused by over exfoliation because when i start to use chem exfo again, my skin is okay~

So yeah.. Oily skin definitely needs to hydrate and moisturize 🙃 this just further prove that theory

The product that i input to my routine are coxir black snail collagen. I underestimated this product so much, but this moist actually is my skin saviour right now 🥺  SNAIL MY LUV 🐌 

So.. Does your skin condition change because of fasting? If yes, how do you handle those changes?

How fasting affect your skin & how you handle it?

Hi! So my little brother have started to get acnes all over his face, especially his forehead (genetic 😔). And his face is SUPER DRY. Seriously.. It's super rough 😭 i just noticed it when it touched his face.

Do you guys have any skincare recommendation for an 11 yo kid with those problems? Currently he's only using Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser.

I think he especially needs moisturizer, but i dunno which one is the best for him.

Thank youuu ❤️

Moisturizer and Acne Care for 11 yo kid

I usually look up the product ingredients list and reviews first, to know if it would suit my skin or not. And the texture! Because i want to enjoy the sensory experience while using it too 😆 

I do all that because it will be such a waste to use a product that i know will not be suitable for my skin or skin type, then causes break out on me even though i got it for free :( though there's always a chance that my skin will still break out with the product that "i thought" would suit me 😭🤣

How about you?

What you consider when deciding to apply for giveaway event?

From what i've seen and experience, i think if we win a giveaway, it will take sometime for us to win another giveaway. For me personally, my second giveaway that i won are 3 months after my first giveaway. I think this is so that everyone can get a chance to win a giveaway too. 

What do you think? This is just my assumption tho 😂

Waiting time to get another giveaway

I'm kinda doubting myself on what to put in the "name" box on gopicky giveaway applying form. Should i write my real name? Or my picky app username?

THIS IS SUPER GREAT FOR CALMING. I love to use this as CSM every time my skin feels itchy or got red, caused by incoming acne -_- 1 or 2 layer is enough to hydrate my skin.

The texture is super watery with a transparent yellow green color. Absorbs pretty fast without any residue. This is really good for basic skincare routine

The scent is pretty weird and smell strongly of alcohol. It&#39;s similiar to the snail cream ones, but with an added scent of alcohol. The alcohol is pretty high up on the ingredient list and it contain perfume on the last list. 

It feels tacky on my skin :( and the hydration is not really long lasting. I tried to combine it the snail cream, but it feels too heavy for me even in air conditioned roon.

It have a thick gel texture, not the runny kind. Hydrates &amp; moisturize my skin. 1 pump is enough for my whole face.

The packaging is plastic, a pump bottle with a cap. I like it. Simple and pretty sturdy. The gel is transparent with no colour.

If i use too much, it will feel greasy on my skin, because this cream is not the silicony or matte finish.

I though it would be like anua cream that won&#39;t ever feel heavy no matter how much i use, but it&#39;s really like round lab lotion that will feel lightweight but wet so i can&#39;t use too much.

The texture is pretty lightweight, like a lotion instead of gel or cream. I think it&#39;s pretty similiar to round lab lotion, even the finish (not matte, kinda wet finish)

I was surprised by how it calms down my redness and reduce my break out. A little bit is enough for me, maybe about red bean sized. So 100 ml, only 150K, and i only need to use a little bit each time? Totally affordable!

The scent is kinda distinct but not too strong, like some kind of herbal plants. It will subside after a few minutes though, don&#39;t worry. I personally like the scent, it feels relaxing.

I feel like it kinda dries out my skin after several use, but i know it&#39;s kinda normal for retinol. So i just have to layer up my hydrating products, no worries!

I never thought i would find a retinol product that feels gentle on my skin 🥺 i experience no tingling feelings, no purging, no redness. Instead, this retinol ampoule reduce my redness. Sometimes there&#39;ll be 1 or 2 pimple the morning after i used this on the spot where they usually appear, but then it&#39;ll be gone in a few days and doesn&#39;t shows up again!

The normal price is too expensive for me to repurchase 😭 also, the texture makes it kinda tricky to use for people who have oily skin and live in a tropical country. Unless you use an AC (Air conditioner) on full blast ((i do 😂) ). It&#39;s not really suitable for morning use on my skin type.

I love it 🥺 It&#39;s really occlusive for me without clogging my pores. It&#39;s my first moisturizer with a kinda thick creme texture, usually i used gel or watery cream with very lightweight texture. It&#39;s thick, but when applied on my skin by rubbing it first on my palms, it will absorbs pretty fast on my face without leaving any greasiness. And considering its texture, it doesn&#39;t feel heavy at all!. I love how it locks all hydration from the previous products (toner, essence, serum&#47;ampoule) and just sets it nicely.

The scent is very subtle and soft, almost no scent at all. So people who prefers their skincare to have no fragrance will love it.

I have used this every night in an air conditioned (AC) room. I can feel that my sentisized skin is healing, the itchiness is almost gone after it&#39;s been sentisized for more than a week (before i use this moist). So i can definitely say that this moist also improve my skin barrier ❤️

Thank you Picky team for choosing me and giving me a chance to try this amazing product. I thought this would be my least liked from the soothing set, but surprisingly it becomes my most fav 😭❤️ the moist i never thought i would need, but becomes one of my holy grail.
