Maximum Hydration With Bare Essentials by Althea

Why is her skin so smooth? Why is he not affected by pimples?  Is he an alien?

Everyone struggles with skin problems at one time or another, some might have them longer than the others (pointing at me).

So, I have been trying quite a few skincare products available online. Also, I have to mention that I have been trying out the traditional ones - as per strongly suggested by my mum, my aunties and cousins too.
And there were some success stories but as time and age catches on, I want a skincare regime and routine that wouldn't take too much of my time - and then works. But hey, nothing worth having comes easy right?
As you all know, I am an avid Althea-shopper and I have managed to rope in a few other Altheatics (Althea fanatics) to shop together because as Rupaul says 'the family that shops together, stays together'. Haha. We keep each other posted on whenever new products appears on Althea's website.

So what’s new in @altheakorea land? Here is #BareEssentials from @altheakorea and #RawlinsGLAM is digging its all white packaging.

When Althea launches its latest magical creation - aptly named Bare Essentials - I was among the first to get my hands on the magical elixir. And I am still so thankful that Bare Essentials has only three items in the set - I want a simple and straight-forward skincare that works! I was so happy that it has pretty travel-friendly freebies too! Althea is just so thoughtful and always think of everything! Within the amazing pink Althea box, I received these amazing creations:

Contour Cleanser (150g) | Primer Water (200ml) | Fixer Cream (50g) | Althea Marble Coaster | Althea Hand-held Mirror | Samples

So, what's the T about the Bare Essentials? 

1) Contour Cleanser (150 g) | RM23.00 When I first see this, it got me confused.  What are you?  A contour cream or a cleanser?  Or will it contour my jawline and cheekbone whenever I cleanse my face? 
It is actually a cleanser that is densely filled with microcapsules that burst upon contact with water to gently cleanse, exfoliate and detoxify skin. The Contour Cleanser helps to promote blood circulation and reduces bloating and swelling for a defined, enviably slim face shape.
Does it work? My face feels cool and looks cleansed and refreshed everytime I use it - am super loving that effect. Does it really contour? Well, I think it does, although not as prominent as I want it to be. Well, I also do not expect to have a perfectly V-shaped face just after two weeks of using it.

2) Primer Water (200 ml) | RM43.00 And here is another product that couldn't decide on what it is supposed to be.  A primer?  A toner? 
As per its name Bare Essentials, Primer Water combines both into one bottle so that we should have only the essential skincare regime and drop the non-essential. The Primer Water contains patented dewdrop technology (Macro Fluidic Dispersion technology) that gently fills the gaps between pores and allows hydration to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin.
On one occasion where I have to make my face up (putting lots of makeup items - eyeshadows, foundation etc), I applied the Primer Water before putting on anything else and the makeup stays put throughout the event and when I cleanses my face afterwards, it literally cleanses every single item that I put on my face. So, yes, it does wonder as a primer on my skin as it prepares and plumps my skin to perfection for products to come.

3) Fixer Cream (50 g) | RM 50.00 Just what will it fix, I wonder? Opening the bottle and applying it onto my face, I feel like I am jumping into water, every single time. The cream is highly moisturizing and I hit the jackpot with this as I have dry skin.
The secret behind the high moisture of the Fixer Cream? It harnesses the power of Trehalose, an ingredient found in the cactus plant that prevents its moisture loss.
Psst. It also rich in antioxidants derived from Camellia sinensis (green tea) seed oil and helps to promote collagen regeneration using Baobab Tree extracts. It fixes my skin dryness and keeps it hydrated throughout the day. And I am super happy about it! My T About The Bare Essentials

• It helps to shorten the skincare regime for the on-the-go person

• It hydrates the skin for a long time

• It is lightweight too

• If a 20 plus something guy (yes, I am 20+++++++++ years old) with dry skin problems and always in a hurry vouches for Bare Essentials, you should not worry about trying it out too.
