johny4 and kapersky fan, another Shiseido user here 
Been using for a year over but not so consistent. The only thing i use often is the face wash. I'm planning to get the scrub + the basic 3 soon. How much is the scrub alone now?
Btw, if i remember correctly, the sales girl at the Shiseido counter told me to use a cotton pad and put a few drops of hydrating lotion and then dab it on the face. I wonder which is the correct method?
I'm also looking for good sun screen lotions for before and after being exposed in the sun. Each time i come back after golf, i will be burned.
Lastly, about face masks, if i'm using deep scrub, it is still needed? If yes, do drop some recommendations.
Thank you.
The Deep Cleansing Scrub retails for RM105 for a 125ml tube. But it will last a long time I guess as a 7ml sample lasted me 2 weeks of daily use. Been using for a year over but not so consistent.

Yeah the Shiseido SA told me to use cotton pad too but the directions on the hydrating lotion bottle says to use hands to apply and pat dry. I tried using a cotton pad before but it took quite a bit of lotion to wet a cotton pad...if i use a few drops on the cotton pad, most of it gets soaked up by the cotton. That's why I prefer applying with my hands. I save on the lotion too
I guess both ways are alright la, just depends on your preference. If u do get the hydrating lotion, the SA will try to convince u to get the toning lotion...which is basically an overpriced toner...while the hydrating lotion is more of a toner-moisturizer combo. I was very tempted to get the toning lotion but RM130 for a 150ml toner with nothing much inside put me off. If u do get sunscreen (ss) go for the Japanese ones for daily use and European ones for outdoor activities. But one prob though as most of the high protection (SPF50+) Euro ss available here are heavy, oily n shiny...that's the price to pay I guess for good protection. One good affordable one is Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF50+...it's heavy n oily but has one of the best protection available..i cant remember the exact price but shud be in the range of RM60-RM80 for 50ml. Use this for the face. Currently I am using Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ for daily use. But this is only for those with oily skin because it is very mattifying and the oil control is really awesome...my face is oil n shine free for at least 4-5 hours and perfect for hot humid weather. Only prob is that it is very hard to wash off and I got to use my gf's cleansing oil to remove the Biore ss or risk getting breakouts. This Biore ss is probably the best ss i have ever tried. Price is good too, 30ml for RM25...available at all pharmacies.
A good body sunscreen would be the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF50+. It's actually for the face n body but I found too heavy for msian weather when used on the face...but it's perfect for the body. A 88ml tube retails for RM35. I use this currently for my body.
I do use a clay mask and a face scrub too. Normally I will scrub my face first then apply a mask straight after that. I feel this way the mask penetrates better. However both masks and scrub are generally drying so it still depends on your skin type and condition. Introduce new products gradually and not all at once to determine if got any adverse reactions.
Currently using Lab Series Purifying Clay Mask twice a week and Clinique Men Face Scrub twice a week too. Once a day at night I use Shiseido Men Deep Cleansing Scrub. The Lab Series mask is decent and can last quite long as only a light layer is needed and it spreads very easily. I recently tried the Origins Out of Trouble mask and I feel it better as it contains all the good ingredients necessary in a mask. The LS mask is RM90 for 100ml and the Origins one is RM95 for 100ml. When buying a clay mask look out for ingredients like sulfur and salicylic acid.

how come i cant see any of this size, all petite size only 
. Last month a friend from Low Yat forum introduce me a skin health product that claim to heal any skin disease and skin problem once and for all. Well, definitively I said I am not interested because he is a stranger and I have tried numerous products that claim to heal skin problems and they actually did not work out 
. But after doing my home work about this skin health product, I decide to give it a try (I don't really know why I did that, maybe it is worth to try it out) 
. After few day use, I already can feel the difference in my skin, my skin is actually smother and less oily. And after 3 weeks my pores became smaller and smaller and the acne scar is fading !!! Ok, I may sounds like I am promoting something, in fact I am. This health bar really works guys, I calling for anyone that have bad skin conditions like oily skin, pimple or acne, wrinkle, eczema, dry and sensitive skin and even hair loss to give it a try. I try it and I am happy to share it with u all. PM me for details.
