When I was in my 20s, skin care wasn’t my priority. I didn’t even wear sunscreen on many occasions that I needed to. When I turned 30 and noticed that my skin got a little drier and fine lines looked more visible, that’s the only time that I invested on skin care products.
I don’t really stick to one brand, because my skin’s needs change from time to time. During summer, my skin gets too oily so I only use water-based moisturizers. Then when the cold climate arrives, I switch to oil-based products.
I haven’t strictly followed a skincare regimen before kasi tamad ako hahaha, but now I do.
I learned about MINX Beauty from a friend sa isang hamster community group, and its ‘safe and gentle’ claim got me interested.
I’ve always wanted to try a few skin care products from more popular, expensive brands.. pero yun nga, I find them too expensive LOL, and some of those products pa contain ingredients that are not skin-friendly.
MINX Beauty: Gentle and Safe
MINX Beauty is formulated to be effective yet gentle to the skin. Their skin care line is non-comedogenic, alcohol-free, and paraben-free.
Most of the products now in the market (especially the ones that promise you a whiter complexion) contain ingredients that’ll make your skin peel. Yung iba may stinging sensation din. I’ve tried products that made my skin looked irritated, but I later found out that my skin was reacting so bad, hence the tomato-faced redness.
My morning skincare routine starts with MINX Tomato foaming wash. Enjoy lang gamitin because of the scrubber! After that, I apply Tomato Serum on my still-damp face. Kapag tuyo na, I apply a thin layer of the Melasma Control Cream. For my nighttime routine, same lang din but I use the 24k Gold Essence instead of the Tomato serum.
My observations? Let me start with my skin concerns — dull and sometimes uneven complexion, combination skin but the dry areas feel really tight, and breakouts (and subtle pimple scars) whenever I’m stressed or during that time of the month.
After using MINX Beauty for a month, my face looked brighter and glowing (but not white, and without the unnecessary tight skin feeling). The pimple scars have faded and my skin felt smoother. 🙂
My favorites? The MINX Tomato Foaming Wash – super gentle and isn’t too abrasive (even the husband loves it!) – and the MINX Melasma Control Cream because it really glides well onto your skin and it has this light-reflecting effect because of micro shimmers.
MINX’s serums & control cream contain protective ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, and if you’re not familiar with it, hyaluronic acid keeps your skin moisturized, helps reduce [acne] scarring, and gives your skin a dewy look.
The full set won’t hurt your wallet, especially when there are MINX promos ongoing. I got my MINX set for PhP 1,499. It will last you a few months na. 🙂
