Welcome to The Sesame Shop

Did you notice there are more and more physical #sunscreens coming out to the market recently and they are as easy to apply as chemical sunscreens? Great news for sensitive skins!🙌 . #Somebymi Trucica 100 Mineral Sun Cream is one of them. This 100% mineral sunscreen applies like a watery gel cream, that disappears quickly into the skin without any white cast.👍 . The skin feels slightly cooled instantly due to the tea tree content. It also contains cica complex to soothe the skin and help building a stronger barrier.💪 . This sun cream leaves a semi-matte finish and controls sebum production.🔝 〰️ #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #thesesameshop #physicalsunscreen #sunscreen #mineralsunscreen #somebymi #acneproneskin

#Azulene is one of the most effective anti-inflammation ingredient in my humble opinion. My first Azulene Cream was the #Klairs #midnightbluecalmingcream. It was a great spot treatment but a little heavy as an all-over-face cream. #Neogen recently came out with their Sur. Medic+ Azulene Soothing Cream, which is more suitable for entire face application.🆕 This cream has a gel-cream texture. It felt slightly occlusive when first applied (consider it’s in the middle of summer ☀️ right now), but not greasy or sticky.💙 It had an instant cooling ❄️ effect on the skin. My skin was moisturised for the entire day without excess sebum production - it’s a sign for good hydration and better water-oil balance.💦 I used this cream when I was having bad breakouts on my chin last week. It helped greatly at soothing and reducing the inflammation, ➕resisting against further breakouts. Great everyday cream for normal, combination, dry and sensitive skins. 🉑#fragrancefree #pegfree 〰️ #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #azulene #guaiazulene #neogen #surmedic #acnetreatment #acneproneskin #moisturizer #cream #soothing #blue

This Alive Lab Centella Dressing Powder has been the most effective treatment for my extra-large pimple this time.👍 . This powder contains the Centella complex and works extremely well at soothing inflamed skin as well as drying out the pimple.🌿 . The powder is very fine, feels smooth on the skin without any irritation. It leaves a white appearance on the skin.💟 . This remedy works best on those large, juicy, swollen pimples (when you feel the most desperate). Apply it after your nighttime routine and you’ll see the pimple reduce in size the next morning.🥳 . #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #acnetreatment #alivelab #centella #soothing

Merry Christmas🎄Hope everyone is having a warm and relaxing Christmas🍻 . Today I’m using the #Isntree Real #Mugwort Clay Mask (to further combat my angry pimple)👾 . #Mugwort or #Artemisia is a powerful medicinal herb with clarifying and anti-inflammatory properties. 🌿 . This clay mask uses both Artemisia extract and leaf powder, therefore acts as a physical exfoliator. . I personally like to separate my exfoliator and clay mask, because I use clay masks 2-3 times a week and exfoliate only once a week. Therefore I prefer the #ByEcom #Heartleaf Clay Mask. . This clay mask uses 6 types of clay - apart from the usual kaolin and bentonite, it also has Illite, Montmorillonite, Calcite and Canadian Colloidal Clay. . It has a smooth (slight slip) texture, non-drying and gentle on the skin. . The clay doesn’t spread too far, so I had to use more than usual. . The clay mask didn’t work magic with my inflamed pimple, but it did make my skin feeling clear and soothed afterwards. . ➕It worked very well as a spot treatment (applying to pimple without washing off). It helped with drying out my pimple, de-puff and reducing the inflammation.💦 . It’s a great clay mask for removing excess sebum and clarifying the pores. Recommend for oily skins or people with thicker dead skin layer. For sensitive skins, the By Ecom Heartleaf Clay Mask is still my top pick. . #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #oilyskin #acne #acnetreatment #mugwort #artemisia #isntree #claymask #sebumcontrol #naturalskincare

Using the Wellage One Day Kit Cica Green Complex today🤓 . I’ve been having a huge pimple on my jaw for a few days and was hoping this kit would soothe my inflamed skin.💊 . This one day kit is not as rich and hydrating as the Hyaluronic (blue) one, exactly what I need for my rather oily complexion right now.🦠 . It feels like a lightweight watery serum, absorbed right into my skin upon application (maybe my skin is dehydrated), leaving no stickiness. My skin felt softened, soothed and hydrated.💦 . It didn’t reduce my inflammation immediately. But I really enjoyed how it hydrated my skin without stimulating my inflamed skin. . As with the Blue version, this #Wellage kit is a great alternative to doing a sheet mask especially for oily / acne prone skins. It delivers the much needed hydration without suffocating the skin or making the acne worse. . My skin feels much more balanced.🏄‍♀️ . #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #acneproneskin #inflammation #acne #wellage #hydration #acnetreatment #radiantskin #thesesameshop

Feeling extremely dry after a ✈️ ride today and the cold ☀️ weather is not helping! 🤦‍♀️ Time for a good #hydratingmask❗️ . #JMSolution Water Luminous S.O.S Ringer Mask has been my go-to 💗whenever I need some decent hydration. .

✨Have been loving the new formulation of the #HelloSkin #Jumiso All Day Vitamin Facial Serum💕 . This is their upgraded version of the Vitamin C serum. It uses 86%‼️vitamin tree extract instead of the ascorbic acid. . I love love 💗 vitamin tree (or sea buckthorn). It’s full of vitamins, amino acids and minerals. And 86% is decent!💃 . The water-less formula is hightly concentrated, yet so soothing and “feels like nothing” on the skin. . I love the glass packaging, the slight rosy scent, and the weightless after-feeling. ☁️ . The texture is slightly viscous. It flows, but not runny. It spreads smoothly and absorbs after a few massages. Once absorbed, there’re no residue, the skin is completely dry and doesn’t feel like you’ve applied anything. . Expect to see hydration, brightening and antioxidant effects.✨ . Try it for yourself! Leave “helloskin vitamin” in the note box of your next order and we’ll include 5x samples.🆓 .

✨New clay mask favourite💕 . I’ve been loving the By Ecom Heartleaf Purifying Mask is my new favourite. It’s slightly cooling, soothing and non-drying.💦 . It contains heartleaf, Centella Asiatica and Madecassoside.💚 . The texture is extremely soft and smooth. It contains green tea leaf bits which are soft and doesn’t affect its smoothness.🍃 . I find this clay mask a lot more gentle than the others I’ve used. 👍 Also loving the clear tube packaging, hygienic and easy to tell how much product is left.👍 . . #skincare #koreanskincare #sensitiveskin #byecom #claymask #gentleskincare #gentleclaymask #centella #soothing #calming #green #deepcleanse #thesesameshop #skincarereview #notsponsored
