just wanna share some tips written in barbie hsu 's beauty books

Barbie Hsu entered showbiz at the age of 14. She says:

I was not beauty conscious when I was young. Thinking that I am already blessed with great skin, I wasn’t aware of the importance of a skincare regime. I look no different with or without makeup. However one day, a makeup artist sounded me out with this advice:

“No matter what, a girl has to take care of her skin as early as possible. Otherwise after the age of 25, her skin will start to age, like a withering flower. When removing makeup, first you have to use makeup remover, then cleansing milk to remove the last traces. After cleansing, it is important to apply toner and moisturizer.”

However being blessed with naturally great skin, I wasn’t keen to follow all these steps and everyday after work, I committed to only two: removed makeup and washed my face.

Soon after to my horror, my skin darkened drastically. When I saw myself in the mirror, I became frantic……I started searching for answers. What had caused my skin to severe dullness? That was when it dawned on me that perhaps I hadn’t cleansed my face of makeup completely. Using a certain brand of cleansing foam to wash face is also very important. Furthermore, I also realized that my facial skin has a very thick and rough layer of stratum corneum (角质层).

Since then, I began searching for solutions to skin imperfections and exploring brands of beauty products that best suit my needs. I developed an intense interest in beauty care and at the age of 17, embarked on a mission to the acclaimed title of ‘Beauty Queen’.
