[Review] SEKKISEI Trial Kit

Last year, I have been traveling quite a bit and was constantly exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. First, I got sunburnt in Koh Samui. Subsequently I went to Vietnam and Penang for sight seeing and noticed that my skin has turned darker as I was constantly under the sun. My sunburnt took super long to recover and I was quite worried. Even though my face was not really affected, but I noticed that my skin tone was not even anymore...

I have been using the trial kit for almost a month now. One small pump is enough for the liquid wash as it foams up really well! Although the instruction said to use cotton pad for the lotion and emulsion, I still prefer to pour it on my hand and tap in the product goodness as I feel that it is a waste to let the cotton pad soak up everything.

During the first week, my skin went into purging mode due to the sudden change in product. It wasn't really serious but I got a few bumps here and there. So, I switch up my routine by not using SEKKISEI for a day or two, then continue using it after a few days so that my skin could take a break. It worked and this is the routine I have been using up till now and I noticed that my uneven skin tone issue has improved with the help of SEKKISEI products :)

For the SEKKISEI emulsion I only use it during the daytime as it is lightweight. During the night, I will still use back my existing cream moisturizer.
