1. As Moustirizing Cream or Mask Pack 
You can use this Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel as a mask pack. I've tried this many times. I just need some cotton and applied it into my face. It's better you placed aloe gel in refrigerator first, so you can get more cool and refreshing feeling. 
2. As Base Make-up
I never use this aloe gel in this way, because I'm afraid that it will make my make-up more cakey. Fyi, I have an oily skin and I tent to get oily after some hours.
3. After Waxing or shaving
This aloe vera gel can be used after waxing, in order to calm our skin after we did some waxing and give a moisture feeling into the skin.

5. As an Eye mask
For those who always stick in front of laptop screen like me, this aloe vera gel can help to reduce swollen eyes. How to do that? We just need 2ply of cotton and applied the gel onto the cotton. After that, place the cotton in refrigerator. And...voila!! Our own eye mask is ready to coolin' our swollen eyes.

Who wants healthy nail? Just use this aloe gel and put on our nail as essence to get healthy and shiny nail.

[Review] Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum

Today I’m gonna review my favorite serum. Yeah~ it’s green tea seed serum from Innisfree. Actually, Innisfree is one of my favorite Korea cosmetics brand. I love Innisfree because this brand is natural-oriented cosmetic brand. Innisfree always use various types of natural ingredients on its products, especially from Jeju Island. 

 

Innisfree is known for its skincare line products. Here are few products that I know best from Innisfree:  

- Green Tea skincare line

- Jeju Volcanic skincare line

- Soybean skincare series

I have tried Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore clay mask before, and I like it so much. And this time I try to make a review one of Innisfree best selling product,  Innisfree green tea seed serum.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is a moisturizing and nourishing serum with organic green tea seeds from Jeju to fill the skin with suppleness and clarity. The Green Tea Seed Serum  from Innisfree  contain 100% Jeju green tea and are free of paraben, mineral oil, animal ingredients, and artificial coloring.

 

The packaging box is eco-friendly

Description: This nourishing mouisture serum is formulated with freshly squeezed Jeju green tea and green tea seeds to create a dewy and clear skin from deep within.

PACKAGING

This serum comes in a pretty simple bottle in green and equipped with a pump. The pump is very convenient to use and there’s plastic cap on top of it. The plastic cap keeps the pump always clean and prevent the serum  from leak out.  This serum contains 80mL of product. For me it’s worth for about 4-5 months using, although I use it everyday. 

 
TEXTURE

The texture of this serum is very runny, since it’s water-based. This serum has a a very nice green tea scent. It absorbs really well into the skin and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. After use this serum, the skin feels moisturized and hydrated. 

the texture is very watery & runny

Actually, this is my first serum that I ever used. Before, I only used moisturizer and cream as my skincare products. Serums are quite pricey, so I have to save up some money first to afford it. I’ve been eye-ing for this Innisfree green tea seed serum because I heard that this serum is so good. So, I was so happy when I received this serum.

HOW TO USE

Usually I only need one and half pump for my entire face. I apply this serum after cleaning my face every morning and before I go to sleep. I use my hands and pat it lightly onto my skin in order the serum can absorb well. After using the serum, I usually use my daily moisturizer cream. I don’t use another Innisfree green tea line because it cost much money. 

CONCLUSION

After used this serum for about 2 months, I got a better better result on my face. My skin feel so moisturize, moist and supple. This make me want to touch my skin everytime.. Also it does clear my complexion and reduce the redness on my face. Fyi, I have an oily skin type and this serum works really well with me. Before I used this serum, my skin tends to be very oily when I wake up in the morning, especially on my T area. But after used this serum, I feel like that my skin is more brighter and the oilness on my face area is reduce.

Overall, I really like this Innisfree Green Tea Seed serum. After used it regularly, I get less oily when I woke up in the morning, and make my skin very supple and moist.
