One of my favorite flavors in food or tea is Matcha. Liah Yoo has been a huge part of this 180 degree change in my skin care routine. As an avid fan of her skin care videos, I was so proud and excited when she launched Krave Beauty. My skin care game has been simplified and I discovered more potent products for my active breakouts. I was contemplating on buying this instead of restocking my favorite Cosrx Low pH Good Morning gel cleanser but my love for Matcha products prevailed.
Packaging: I'm into the minimalist aesthetics with the ingredients listed below.
Claim: An antioxidant cleanser that doesn’t mess up your skin barrier, lifting everything your skin doesn’t want while leaving what it needs—healthy pH, hydration, antioxidants and no irritation. Matcha and hemp seeds are here to boost the skin’s intake of antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Your skin and this cleanser might be a Matcha made in heaven!
Notable ingredients:
🌿40% Matcha : Antioxidant and reduces production of sebum
🌿Hemp Seed oil : Hydrates and balances skin
🌿Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water :Anti-aging
🌿Vitamin B5 & Sodium PCA :Nourishes the skin and anti-aging
Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser Review: Since I have been using a lot of acids lately plus the use of Salicylic acid 2% as a spot treatment, it resulted to a dry and flaky skin. I don't want to add more damage to my skin barrier by using a cleanser that will strip down the remaining moisture of my face. I used this cleanser for two weeks for am/pm routines and I can say I am quite impressed by how gentle it is upon application. I usually squeeze a pea-sized amount and foam it up with water.
Definitely worth pressing that reset button and starting my new skincare journey with this one. Have you tried any Krave Beauty products?

A little goes a long way with this product. The smell reminds me of freshly ground Matcha tea leaves. Massaging this all over my face is not that hard as it glides smoothly. The rinsing part is like when I wash my face with Burt's Bees Intense hydration Cream Cleanser, it feels like I still have a little film of soap on my face but this one is understandable as it is a hydrating cleanser. The good thing about this is I don't get that squeaky-clean feeling after washing unlike with my other deep exfoliating cleansers.
After two weeks of using this I can attest that it gave me a nice glow in the morning and I feel that my skin is at its best hydrated state because it doesn't strip down my natural oil. This is a great base for any skincare routine. I simply adore this because it is vegan, cruelty-free, SLS-free, dye-free, fragrance-free, and essential oil-free as well. The only down side for this cleanser is that it is a bit pricey.

Education has been taken for granted by many especially by the privileged. With the notion that a degree is useless, they skip school and try their hands on anything that let them earn money. Some thinks that it can not prepare them for life. There is pressure on each person to go to school and get a degree. The same goes for people who can't afford tuition fees. They rather help out their parents to get by each day and nix the idea of getting to school.
The reality that most are not aware of is that the importance of education goes beyond getting a job or being looked up by the society. In addition, to get complete education doesn't only mean one can read or write but also to identify right from wrong and understand the world around him. Ultimately, one of things education provides is the capability to interpret things.
Certain companies such as Viviamo! Inc., makers of the Belle de Jour Power Planner and Navi: Your Life Navigator Journal believes that education empowers the future generation. Their advocacy-driven events is focused on helping out public school students in their quest for quality education. Hence the creation of our newest product, The BDJ Advocacy Notebooks. These notebooks are not only made of quality materials but were also minimally designed to encourage artistry in our students.

Inc will donate one. You can also avail the following packages on https://ilovebdj.com/the- pahina-project/.

their hand in calligraphy. Patricia Mirasol, on the other hand, stressed the importance of
changing one’s mindset to achieve his/her health and fitness goals.
Business and fitness enthusiast Carla Piscoso related how she once battled with insecurities and
low self-esteem back then. She then encouraged Bellas that in order to feel confident about
how they look and feel, they should first start with themselves.
“It all starts with you,”shared Patricia Mirasol. “The first person that can help you feel and look good is yourself. When youlook in the mirror, don’t pinpoint your flaws. Look at yourself and say I am beautiful.”
Lastly, photographer and makeup artist Gorvachev Bernardo discussed about his tips andtechniques about basic photography, photo editing and ways to achieve visually appealing photos using a smartphone.
