a day with debb.

P&M又有新產品推出！今次係夜晚用嘅retinol oil。

好多人對retinol呢個字有好多誤解。其實retinol係咩嚟？Retinol 又稱視黃醇或者叫維他命A。呢個化學化合物對皮膚健康、牙齒礦化同骨骼生長係好重要。佢幾乎可以連接所有嘅皮膚細胞，叫佢哋乖乖地保持年輕同活躍。佢亦有抗氧化功能，可以中斷導致皺紋等衰老跡象嘅自由基損害。

我哋成日都覺得retinol會令皮膚有紅腫、甩皮但係呢啲只係你皮膚敏感嘅現狀。其實佢係再深層幫助基因令膠原蛋白增生、令皮膚光滑同減淡色素亦同時癒合、滋養皮膚。佢好快比皮膚吸收。而且佢被證明有增加膠原蛋白嘅功能，同時有助減淡色素、有幫助皮膚彈性嘅潛力。

第2樣誤解就係唔可以早上用因爲會好易比太陽曬傷。retinol係太陽下係真係唔好因爲佢打破佢嘅化合物，令retinol無效，但唔係大家所講話會曬傷。臨床研究顯示retinol唔會降低人體嘅紫外線。所以好多有retinol嘅產品都會用啲比較深色嘅瓶，咁就唔會影響佢嘅活性成份。


Pestle & Mortar今次推出嘅Superstar Retinol Night Oil 有3個功能:

1．縮小毛孔
2．減淡皮膚色素
3．減少細紋

呢支retinol oil 係混合咗12種天然有機油，冷壓過程冇用熱力，確保Superstar内個12種油係乾淨、純潔亦保留到原有嘅營養同活性成份。細細樽就有齊維他命A, E, C & B, 同 Omega 3 & 6！佢同Hydrate面霜一樣，係愛爾蘭製造。今次嘅包裝用咗黑色，確保唔會影響到樽内嘅活躍成份。雖然而家我哋係夏天，但佢嘅質地唔會太lup，算係快吸收。我覺得冬天用會非常好。

1．羥基苯甲酸酯 (parabens)

今次我醒呀，用咗呢2樣產品皮膚喺咁嘅天氣都無事！全靠佢哋我塊面先有救。好啦。唔講咁多費話，等我快啲介紹呢2樣孖寶先！


第1樣係 Pestle & Mortar ( P&M) 嘅皇牌精華。唔好見佢細細樽咁，其實你用2-3滴已經可以搽晒成面，仲超級快吸收！搽完塊面好乾爽，唔怕lup。




佢嘅好處:
1．保濕，撫平細紋，恢復青春彈性舒緩。連最敏感嘅皮膚都用得
2．針對細紋、暗啞同脫水，恢復健康光澤同飽滿嘅皮膚
3．無香料配方，質地輕巧，輕易滲入皮膚

佢成份係有80%濃縮透明質酸！我唸係呢個市面上真係無一枝精華有咁高百分比嘅透明質酸！等我講介下咩係透明質酸先...

透明質酸係我哋人體自然產生嘅碳水化合物。佢算係最水性嘅分子，所以被稱爲‘nature's moisturizer’ 。人體幾乎每一個細胞都會發現透明質酸。最多最集中係喺我哋皮膚組織度搵到-有50%咁多！佢哋喺深層真皮同見光嘅表皮層搵到。透明質酸可以保持皮膚持續濕潤係因為綁住高達1000倍重量嘅水份喺皮膚上。咁隨著年齡嘅增長，皮膚嘅能力，皮膚產生嘅透明質酸亦慢慢降低。

所以你話呢枝含80%濃縮透明質酸係咪好掂先！真係冇介紹錯！佢算係市面上最有有效嘅透明質酸精華!!



第2樣產品係佢哋啱啱推出嘅 hydrate 面霜。佢質地唔厚，搽上面好容易推開，好快吸收。塊面唔怕lup 亦好保濕。




佢嘅好處:
1．減少細紋同皺紋嘅出現，有專利嘅肽混合成份
2．三同四肽技術可以幫助刺激膠原蛋白嘅增生，恢復皮膚嘅緊緻度同彈性
3．天然保濕因子（NMF's），荷荷巴油同角鯊烷會即刻令皮膚更柔軟，更緊緻。而強大嘅抗氧化成份石榴，綠茶同維生素E有助對抗自由基。


見到呢啲好處已經覺得好正！佢包裝用 " airless container" 一個密不透風嘅包裝。呢個真係要加分因為呢個包裝可以確保面霜保持新鮮，無細菌入侵。佢成份係無:
1．羥基苯甲酸酯 (parabens)
2．礦物油 (mineral oil)
3．矽氧烷 (silicones)
4．硫酸酯 (sulphates)
5．丙二醇與合成香料 (propylene & synthetic fragrance)

另外，佢亦可以抗衰老！上面提到三同四肽技術可以幫助刺激膠原蛋白嘅增生。你哋都知隨住年齡增長，膠原蛋白亦會減少。皮膚就開始鬆弛同出現皺紋。呢啲就係衰老嘅跡象。其實我哋皮膚超過80%係又膠原蛋白造成。由於膠原蛋白係唔可以喺皮膚度吸收，所以會用成份石榴提取物，三肽，綠茶同維生素E去促進膠原蛋白同彈性蛋白生產，令皮膚自然光滑、軟化、緊緻，減低衰老嘅跡象！

用開呢2樣產品真係以後都唔洗換！佢哋已經係我daily skincare routine嘅家人。

Hey guys! long time no chat! I've been quite busy right our second store opening since we have to do x'mas sets for the store. Now that everything kind of settled, I have time to do a product review post.

I got the Pestle & Mortar serum recently and have been using it since. I don't remember how I found this brand but that's not the point :p. They only have one product but added a new product a few days ago. First of all, I LOVE THEIR PACKAGING!! It's so simple, yet super elegant. The serum is 30mL and it states that it "hydrates and soothes even the most sensitive skin while smoothing fine lines and restoring youthful elasticity". It "targets fine lines, dullness, and dehydration restoring a healthy glow, plumpness and radiance." It is 1--% free of animal derived raw materials and organic solvent remnants, paraben free, propylene glycol free, fragrance free and not tested on animals! It contains hyaluronic acid and is super lightweight.





If you have been reading my blogs, you know that I don't like anything that's stick on my skin for a long time. I like products that absorb quickly and leave my skin feeling fresh yet hydrating. When I first tried this serum on, OMG! It absorbs into my skin in seconds and it doesn't feel greasy at all! My skin felt fresh but definitely felt plumped! I usually use 2 drops each time and that will be enough to cover my whole entire face and neck. It spreads so easily! I can't say how much I am in love with this serum. Honestly, I think I might have found the "ONE".

  

 The design is same as the hand mask



I was able to put my feet under blanket and walk on the floor while the mask was on, which is convenient as well! I hate it when I couldn't do much in that 20 minutes. Same as the hand mask, the opening of the mask does not have serum so it would not drip anywhere. After the 20 minutes, I also went to wash off the serum because it's too thick and sticky. My feet felt smoother and not as dry after the mask.


Overall, I think both of the mask are not bad. The sticky issue could possibly be the weather. Since this brand is from Netherlands, the weather over there is much dryer and colder, so a thicker serum is more suitable for them. Here in Macau is the opposite. So I am not going to talk too much on this point! Will I buy it again? Maybe, I don't normally use hand and feet mask so I can't really say. The price though, is a little bit on the high side for one. If you convert it back to MOP, the hand and feet mask is $85. Their sheet mask is around $100!! I mean, there are a lot of different brands of sheet mask out there you can try. If you are on budget, then this mask is not for you. If you want to try this and can afford it, I think you can give it a try!

話咁快秋天就到啦！皮膚亦因爲轉季而開始乾燥同敏感。每次轉季，自己皮膚會好乾同甩皮，所以我冬天一定揀比較滋潤同保濕。

我記得由我第一次識evie呢個品牌時係夏天。用咗佢哋產品原來已經2個月啦！皮膚呢2個月一直好好，無敏感又滋潤。我皮膚算係偏向油性，有時朝早起身塊面會比較油。不過用完evie產品，竟然無咁油！好似平衡返咁，塊面都有光澤同好bouncy！所以我呢排好鐘意用evie嘅護膚品。

前個排知到佢出新產品，我放工第一時飛去買！呢次佢出咗4樣產品:

1．3色玫瑰美肌花水 Rose Hydramist Toning Water
2．3色玫瑰凍齢精華 180 Rewind Miracle Serum
3．千妍萬語玫瑰金唇膜 Luna Rose Lip Therapy
4．紫醉金迷薰芳唇膜 Luna Lavender Lip Therapy

知到

花水係限量嘅，我即刻攞枝上手！佢成份係100%有機玫瑰花水！係一枝滿載80朵玫瑰精華嘅花水！每一年6月幾盛放嘅大馬士革玫瑰會以人手採摘，然後攞去以雙重蒸餾法造成呢枝花水。真係多謝每一位清早上保加利亞山丘嘅師父!!  我洗完面都會噴咗花水上面，等佢吸受晒先用其它產品。一噴就聞到超香嘅玫瑰味，好舒服。

而佢新嘅精華成份有大馬士革玫瑰、保濕抗氧嘅白玫瑰、祛紋嘅岩玫瑰精華同金箔，注入有更生作用嘅玫瑰果籽油！聽見已經好想買。呢枝精華有好多維他命，胡蘿蔔素、抗氧化物去幫你保濕、改善膚色、淡化色斑、撫平細紋！佢啲金箔亦唔少！雖然佢係油性精華，但係搽完上面好快吸收，一啲都唔lup! 我比較鐘意清爽嘅產品我都覺得ok ！啱晒秋冬嘅季節。


佢個2個唇膜每晚都會用因爲佢非常滋潤！第2日起身個咀好滑！佢哋2款都有金箔，一個係保加利亞薰衣草，另一個係奧圖玫瑰。成份有有機蜂蠟，蓖麻油、有機乳木果油、維他命 A-K、橄欖角鯊烯同24K食用金箔。真係好滋潤！

買定返屋企差唔多！
