exfolimate - The Ultimate Exfoliator Review



Woman's first world problem, dry and dull skin. Scrubbing might helps, but excessive scrubbing may cause our skin to be extremely dry and get irritated. The solution? exfolimate! This new and innovative skin care tool is the ultimate tool for a fresh and soft skin by instant exfoliation and pore clarification without the fuss of scrubs or loofahs.

It does not cause pain or discomfort.

Designed by Robert F. Durso from Australia, the secret of exfolimate's lies in its innovative micro-groove technology etched into the smooth metal edge. The micro-grooves gently lift and remove lingering skin cells and debris to unveil younger and fresher skin. With exfolimate you could exfoliate gently to improve skin tone and texture, while reducing pores, oily patches, dry areas and visible signs of ageing. It is the newest breakthrough in skin care technology, designed for daily exfoliation and naturally skin clearing results.


exfolimate set comes in a two-piece Face and Body combination with wrist bands.


Face - Smaller tool for easy exfoliates of the face and neck, reaching those small crevices around the nose (and even behind the ears!)


Body - The larger body tool exfoliates arms, legs, chest and back for spray-tan prep or removal.

METHOD OF USAGE :
 
Exfoliation – After washing face(In wet condition), use exfolimate to minimize pores, brighten skin and increasing the absorption of skin care products
Use before Make-up – After washing face(In wet condition), use exfolimate through the skin gently for smoother skin, so your makeup will set easily and lasting.
Make-up remove – After removing your makeup with makeup remover, use exfolimate to remove any remaining makeup or sunscreen residue.
Reduce Skin Irritation – exfolimate helps in loosening up the hair follicle to reduce irritation or follicle inflammation caused by hair removal.

Use exfolimate at a 90 degree angle with slight pressure.

All you need is a minute of exfoliate with exfolimate daily, for a quick rejuvenation or as part of your full beauty regime for transformation of your complexion. Besides deep cleansing, exfolimate offers you an enhanced exfoliation while improving the absorption of skin care products. Suitable for all types of skin, it is durable and easy to clean. It also improve blood circulation for healthier skin.

Ewww.... Look at the dead skin cells! To clean, run exfolimate under warm water and hang them to dry with the wrist bands.


My verdict :

Face - Using exfolimate for almost a month, I feel my skin is softer and smoother. My complexion brighten up too, with less blackhead problem. I guess, exfolimate  really does a great job in cleaning my pores.
  
Body- Frankly, it is tiring to use the small tool for the whole body. I wish they have a much bigger size, so it will not take forever to exfoliate my whole body. Hahaha.....  At times, I will experience redness and itchyness too but perhaps this is due to my sensitive skin problem.

exfolimate retails at an introductory price of RM70 for a limited time only. Hurry, make your purchase now from SWIT.

Ala-carte Japanese Buffet @ Aoki-Tei Japanese Restaurant, Sunway Nexis


Hey, foodies! New kids on the block of Sunway Nexis, Aoki-Tei Japanese Restaurant offer affordable and decent ala carte Japanese buffet. Aoki-Tei is actually owned by Umai-Ya Japanese Restaurant, with a different dining concept. Instead of Umai-Ya weekend buffet, Aoki-Tei ala carte buffet is available everyday for lunch and dinner. Happy to share with you this new eatery, as I was there for a lunch appointment recently.

Lunch RM58++ (11.30am-2.30pm) including beer
Dinner RM78++ (6.00pm-10.30pm) including beer & sake


I've had my fair share of sashimi, it was incredible!

Yum yum....

Tempura Mori, fried crispy, addictive for sure.

Fried soft shell crab, fresh and pipping hot, must try!

Mouth-watering soft shell crab maki.

Fried salmon fish head. 

Endamame.

Skewer grilled prawn with sauce is slight overcooked.

Beef negi.

Salmon fish head soup. IMO, it's a tad heavy on the salt. 

Final round of sashimi.

And here come the desserts, ice-cream! Available flavours include chocolate, vanilla, green tea and wasabi.

The chef is slicing fresh sashimi.

I love the cute wall art and cosy ambiance.


Since Sunway Nexis is a new establishment, ample parking are available at the basement carpark. All in all, foods are decent with excellent service and accommodating staff.

Jewellery Making with Elegant Jewellery Studio


Jewellery is an important accessory for women to enhance their beauty. You could turn a boring look into something spectacular with the right jewellery. It will be much more meaningful when you could wear your own jewellery creation. Yes, it's possible! I had the chance to join one of the jewellery workshops organized by Elegant Jewellery Studio held at Kinokuniya Books last month, thanks to a dear friend's recommendation.

Some of the jewellery creations you could DIY from the workshop.

In the 3 hour workshop, we learned to bead a necklace with the materials provided.

Upon selecting our preferred colour and design, we began our jewellery making under the guidance of Angi, the founder of Elegant Jewellery Studio (EJS). Ohh... I'm so excited to see my jewellery outcome.

The whole process is one word. Tedious! Just imagine beading for 3 hours straight.


And from this.....

To this..... Finally!!!

Awww.... So proud of myself. I did it!
I'm so in love with my necklace. All the hard work is really worth it. Isn't it beautiful?

Instead of buying, why not try making your own jewellery? Ahem... guys may want to try making jewellery for your loved one? Definitely a priceless gift. Besides the adult workshop, EJS also has jewellery workshop for children too.

Thanks Angi for having me!
