Beauty Review - FOR BELOVED ONE Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly

We all know that having 8 hours of sleep is important to us, but what about having sufficient beauty sleep?

You must be thinking what is the difference between sleep and beauty sleep now right?

Beauty sleep means having sufficient hours of sleep and looking good when waking up the next morning. Our skin actually work best during night time because cell renewal rate is faster. This is why we should apply overnight mask before we go to bed so that our skin can absorb the nutrient and relieve all skin problems overnight.

Recently, I have gotten FOR BELOVED ONE Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly for try out. Thank you FOR BELOVED ONE for sending me this.

What causes skin problems?

Many common skin  actually originated from the often neglected Chronic Silent Inflammation (CSI) – the combined action of oxidation and glycation causing the acceleration of skin cell death, continuous destruction of collagen and basal membrane leading to premature skin aging.

***

Knowing all our skin concerns such as blemishes, enlarged pores, lines and wrinkles, FOR BELOVED ONE has come up with this upgrade Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly to provide dual protection by combining both external “antioxidant” and internal “antiglycation” protection to target the root cause of chronic inflammation and comprehensively relieve all skin problems and elevate overall skin condition.

Let me share with you more about the ingredients present in the night jelly and the benefits of it.

1. Red Wine Polyphenols: Powerful Anti-oxidant, Smoothes Wrinkles, Restore Radiance

Red Wine Polyphenols is made up of small molecules that allows effective absorption by the human body – a powerful antioxidant that can resist the harm from free radicals, and effectively prevents aging signs and restores skin supplesness and elasticity.

2.  Prodizia: Accelerate metabolism, firm and moisturize skin

Prodizia helps fight against glycation during the day and at night, it helps regulate melatonin levels of glycation-stressed skin cells, ensuring an maximum reparation during sleep, providing a 24 hour treatment that gets rid of visible signs of fatigue in skin such as dull complexion and loose skin.

3.  Vitis vinifera(Grape) Seed Extract: Anti-aging Skin Care

Grape seed protects collagen in dermis which helps maintain skin’s firmness and elasticity. It protects skin against allergic reactions prevents skin from oxidation from sun exposure and environmental pollution. Grape Seed Extract’s exceptional anti-free radical benefits makes it an ideal anti-aging ingredient.

4.  Lactobacillus Ferment: Brighten and even skin tone

Lactobacillus ferment adjusts the ratio of different types of melanin in skin. The ratio of these pigments determines our skin tone. Lactobacillus ferment inhibits the formation of deep black pigment while promoting the formation of yellow-orange pigment thus achieving brighter, more even skin tone.

5.  Phytessence Kudzu: Maintain Youthful skin

Phytessence Kudzu protects and prevents the breakdown of collagen and elastin, as well as maintains the integrity of cell structure to keep the skin young. This essence keeps collagen and elastin from weakening, maintains cell activity and the youthfulness of skin, as well as increases skin radiance and firmness.

5.  Chronodyn: Accelerate Cell Repair Ability

Chronodyn is like the battery of skincare products. It triggers cell metabolism by stimulating the release of calcium and enhancing cell’s energy level. During day time, it defends skin against environmental irritants, and at night, it strengthens cell’s natural repair ability and helps fight against signs of fatigue and firms skin.

The jelly is in a colour that resemble red wine and it smells great.

For demo purpose, I will do it on my hand.

After regular skincare routine, apply desired amount onto entire face before bed and proceed with regular skincare routine the next morning. 

For best results, use at least 2-3 times a week. It can be used everyday too.

OR

You can apply a thick layer onto face and wash off after 15-20 min, skin will become instantly brighter and smoother. Suitable for use before special events. It can be used anytime.

My review:

The night jelly comes with a tiny spoon so it makes it very hygienic to use the night jelly. There is no hand contact with the jelly itself. The texture is light on skin and it has nice scent. I always like products with nice scent so that it makes me feel good. The jelly is fast absorbed into skin and will not leave sticky feeling.

After applying the jelly overnight, my skin still remained hydrated and supple when I woke up. After using it for 5 days, I noticed my skin have become more glowing and brighter. I like how it took away the dullness and restored the radiance of my skin. It also gave a dewy finish after I slapped on the skincare products in the morning and prepare for my day.

I love this Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly very much. You should try it for yourself too.

Christmas is approaching, you can purchase this as a gift too.

Suddenly Slender Ionithermie Body Contouring Treatment Review

Still remember my post on Suddenly Slender's IONITHERMIE Launch Party back in November?

Just to recap, Suddenly Slender has launched a new treatment - Ionithermie Body Contouring, which has the benefits of:

 • Smoother skin texture and reduced measurements 

• Defines upper abdominal muscles and improves contour 

• Excellent for post natal re-establishment of muscle tone 

• Aids circulation and lymphatic drainage 

• Reduces water retention and the appearance of cellulite 

• Lifts, smoothens and tones the quadriceps 

• Inch loss of up to 8 inches per treatment 

• Detoxifies the body

I received a complimentary one time session of Ionithermie Treatment. Hence, I decided to utilise it before the festive season approaches, to make myself look good and ready for the festive.

Suddenly Slender has 3 outlets in Singapore at Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre, Malacca Centre and Yishun Central. I went for the outlet at Malacca Centre which is just 5 minutes walk from Raffles Place MRT station.

Upon entering, I was being brought to a consultation room to fill up forms on my particulars and areas of concern.

After which, I was led to the changing room to change my clothes off. 

There were locker in the changing room for us to place our belongings. Inside the locker was a towel, robe, disposable undergarments that I need to change into. The towel was to be used for bath later on.

I'm changed and ready to take my weight.

Next, I was being brought to a cubicle in the changing room for 20 minutes steaming (sauna) at about 40 degree celsius.

The steaming started off with a comfortable one. Slowly, it became hotter and hotter, I started to perspire all over. The therapist has provide me a wet towel which I used it to wear the sweat off my face and cover my face with it.

Lucky I only put on thin eyeliner, if not, my makeup will surely be smeared after steaming. It is not a wise idea to put makeup on when going for treatment.

After steaming I went to took a shower before proceeding for the treatment.

After my shower, I was brought to the treatment room for Ionithermie Body Contouring. A layer of plastic was placed on the bed so that the clay mask will not stained on the bed.

The products that will be used later.

Before the treatment, the therapist applied toner, lotion and ampoule on my thighs and tummy. After which, they started to prepare the algae-clay mask on electrodes pad that was being placed underneath my back and applied the clay on my thighs and tummy, then connect the wires to the machine.

Ionithermie is a combination of five treatments that are applied simultaneously. It uses five active components that work together directly on the problem

1. Iontophoresis: 

A non-invasive electrical stimulation charged with negative and positive ions. It is used in medicine to facilitate the penetration of therapeutically active ingredients deeply into the skin layers. It also helps to increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. The effect of the ionization lasts between 36-48 hours after the treatment.

2. Thermal Aroma Mask: 

Conductive healing clay which heats up and gives a relaxing feeling. Thermal mask accelerates blood circulation, improves lymphatic flow and relaxes the muscles. The content of clay helps to eliminate excess fluid from the body, stimulates the metabolic processes and re-mineralize the skin. 

3. Aromatherapy: 

Cypress essential oil increases circulation and helps remove toxins and excess fluid from the body and balance the hormones. Pine essential oil is a natural diuretic, with stimulating and anti-inflammatory activity on the body. The effect of the essential oils lasts between 5 -7 days after the treatment. 

4. Algae: 

A building material for connective tissue, re-mineralize the skin and eliminate toxins. Along with other active products, algae stimulate, nourish and heal the skin and body. Algae are rich in iron, iodine, minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll, trace elements and sea salt. 

5. Electro Muscle Stimulation with faradic current: 

It tightens and tones the muscles. Physiotherapists use Faradic current to restore weak and damaged muscle tissue. It is utilized to stimulate the muscles, which helps blood circulation and lymphatic system. Furthermore, it helps to detoxifies the extracellular matrix (where collagen is synthesized). Hence, it stimulates the production of collagen resulting in smooth skin.

The session was 30 minutes starting from the time when the wires were plucked on. This was no discomfort during the session, there was only vibration throughout. I took a quick nap during this 30 minutes. It was so peaceful with the soothing music being played.

After 30 minutes, the clay back has hardened up, the therapist peeled them off from my body. She then used a towel to wipe off the remaining clay mask on my body, followed by applying body lotion.  

With that, I'm ready to go off. But before that, I measured my weight again. I have lost 0.2kg just within 2 hours.

Are you girls interested in trying the treatment as well?
