What I think of it:
I use this when I’m lazy to do all the washing and cleansing my face after a tiring day out and I’m so amazed how it makes my face feel refreshed and clean.
I used it last night when a pimple was about ti break out. Fortunately the pimple didn’t came out as ugly as it should have been have I not used this Cleansing Spa water to remove whatever dirt was clogging my pores last night.
Its as transparent and scent free as water.
It does not sting even if it comes into contact with eyes.
It doesn’t make the skin streched out or dry or oily after use.
It maintains skins natural moisture.
It it effectively and efficiently removes makeup, even water proof ones wihout a trace!
I love it.

Absolutely. Among the many makeup removers I’ve tried this is my favorite. I dub this as my HG makeup remover! At Php980.00 per 300ml bottle its worth it.

Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Review

We all think that white is clean, like the cotton we use all the time. But did you know that most of the cotton we use are chemic

ally treated, bleached and pigmented to make it appear as white as it is?

Product Info
Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton is 100% percent cotton and has not been chemically treayed, bleached or pigmented. It utilizes the best of cotton’s softness for your skin.

IMAG2970-1
What I think about it?
If I didn’t know better, I would immediately think that this cotton is dirty or used. Because unlike the usual cotton we get everywhere its not snow white in color but a bit close to cream or dirty white with some specs of black which you normally see in a fresh picked cotton from a tree.
Its scent free and soft and doesn’t tear easily.

IMAG2972-1
Will I recommend the Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton?
Absolutely. Although its a bit pricey than the regular one,you are definitely assueed its not chemically treated or recycled in anyway! Its 100% pure! The Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton is available at all Beauty Bar stores in the country.

Do you know any other organic cotton out there?

Stay gorgeous everyone!
