Hi picky fam, I realize that some of the influencers out there are talking about this topic and I think that this should be heard. 

I’m not a skincare expert and I only started my skincare journey 3 years ago. I used to be that kind of people that looking for poreless skin condition when I first started doing skincare. After 3 years of taking care of my skin, my pores are still visible but I am happy with the result as my skin become healthier.

Please keep in mind that we all started our skincare because we want a healthier skin condition. I’m not aiming for a *PORELESS* skin cause it doesn’t work in that way.

The picture down there is how my skin looks recently, leave a comment with your current skin condition so we can have more discussion in this topic.


Ps: sometimes, lighting can really helps to make your skin looks nicer and sometimes bad lighting can make your skin looks worse.

hey beauties,
I just learned from internet that you shouldn’t wash off your sheet mask after applying it. I always wash it off because of the sticky texture and my face doesn’t seems like absorbing it. 

So, what do you do after applying sheet mask to improve the absorption? Can anyone please help me?

Hello picky fam!

I’m currently using the Skin Aqua tone up essence and I realize that it stings my eyes every time I use it. 

Does anyone having the same issue? I assume that this happened because of some of the chemical ingredients in this product but I really LOVE chemical sunscreen! 

I love chemical sunscreens because it doesn’t leave as much white cast as physical one. Also, it’s very nice to wear as it doesn’t leave greasiness on your skin. 

Can anyone recommend me some chemical sunscreens that doesn’t sting your eye yet have the “tone up” effect ?

sunscreen that sting my eyes!

I’d say that this product is not suitable to use as DIY face mask, my face feels burn after I did that.

Have been using this for product for more than a uear and I personally think that this is a good product for oily combi skin type. My pores become smaller after using it and my skin condition is much more stable.

It’s not really suitable as my daytime essence. I’d rather pick a lighter essence as my daytime essence.

I love this essence as it give my skin instant moisture after applying it, and my pores beckme smaller because of the instant moisture it gave.

I love this product so much, it provides moisture and doesnt clog my pores

It is an affordable and light weight toner that I usually use as a DIY face mask, it provides instant moisture.

I’d say the pakaging isn’t really good. I like the design and the product, but the cap is too loose

The Abib Yuja Essence Vitalizing Pump comes with a high concentration of skin brightening ingredients which helps to even skin tone, reduce discoloration and hyperpigmentation. The texture is creamy yet easy to absorb, without leaving any greasiness on my skin. I personally think that this is a really gentle essence that fit to any skin-type including sensitive skin. Also, it’s such a great product for skincare newbies to try on a brightening product contains vitamin c.
