I have recently got my hands on some ginseng powder, costs me a fortune. Rather than mixing it to a ginseng drink, I made a mask out of it. Ingredients are:
- two tea-spoons of ginseng powder,
- crushed almond nuts powder, and
- just a bit of milk
You can use water if you like, I’ve tried it, same result. The almond part is a little hassle to prepare, you can also do without.
Apply the mixture over your face, let it cool, it will dry up. I turn up the air conditioner to speed this process up, once it dries, go to the sink, massage the residue all over your face and neck, then rinse off. No further cleansing is necessary, sleep through the night and you wake up with a fresh smooth face.
I highly recommend this for acne victims, the properties of ginseng helps to cool it down and prevent it from worsening. Would be best if you can prepare the mixture a few hours before application and apply it straight from the fridge later on.

Ever wondered why Asian women’s skin is so flawless? It is not just the catwalk crew or those in showbiz. If you walk on the streets in the city centre in Korea for example, 80% of young, dressed up women look fabulous, even older women they call ah ju ma… some say it’s because of their 7 layers of makeup, some say it’s because they drink ginseng all year round.
I was recently in Korea and let me tell ya something, Seoul is a fashion and beauty city. Everyone was dressed really pretty and nicely dolled up from face to toes. You know The Face Shop? I never thought much of that shop until I bought and discovered this excellent product.
BB creams are really popular now, but if you like a sweet berry smell, an extremely light and smooth foundation-like cream base, then please try the PURE BERRY BB Cream, SPF 20 to keep your face protected. It comes in one size, 40ml, so it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. This product has been like a cream that freshens in the morning, a concealer that hides little flaws and helps give a glow to the face and smooths out the uneven complexion. And it’s not an expensive cream. I bought it for 4.95USD equivalent. What a great way to look good, smell good all day. BB cream must be part of their secret beauty routine for the Koreans at least.
