Another Great Local Find: Beauty Fix Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Scrub

Beauty Fix Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Scrub

Bought for: P129/170g

Bought from: SM Store online

I always think Beautyfix is somehow a dupe brand for the famous and well-loved St. Ives which I have been repurchasing non-stop and never run out of. While I was browsing online, I spotted Beauty Fix Charcoal Detoxifying Scrub and thought of getting one for myself because first, never tried any Beautyfix scrub before and secondly, I haven't tried a facial scrub infused with charcoal. Knowing charcoal, they are mostly used to control oil which is my biggest problem to date. There's always a first time in everything, I guess.

I wasn't able to find information about Beautyfix or the product itself but I know that this is a local brand. I also tried to find reviews about this particular product but to no avail. Well, if ever, I am honored to do the initial review hehe. Anyway, if you have been visiting Watsons regularly, shelves of Beautyfix are smack right in the middle of the hallways so it's impossible not to miss it. We might all be pretty aware of their Apricot Scrubs but never a day I drop by Watsons and spotted this charcoal scrub. Could it be a new release? I can only guess.

Claims

Beauty Fix Detoxifying Facial Scrub is specially formulated with activated charcoal that deeply penetrates into pores to draw out impurities and toxins. It contains natural exfoliants that gently unclogs pores by removing oil, dead skin cells and dirt for smoother, healthy-looking skin.

Packaging

Comes in a sleek black tube type of packaging, dispensing the product is quite easy as it does not settle on the bottom. It has all necessary information too like claims, direction for use, ingredients and caution. Judging from the ingredient list, I am glad that it does not contain any paraben.

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The scrub has a rich, creamy consistency and comes in a gray-colored formula with a faint floral scent. Looking closely, it has orange and black granules which I presume are mixed apricot and charcoal powders. They aren't synthetic so it's safe to say that it's also eco-friendly. The formula reminds me of St. Ives', very creamy and blendable, also loaded with scrubs that buffs away skin's roughness to reveal a softer, clearer-looking skin. A little of it goes a long way so you don't need a lot every application. That makes it economical too! The scrubs are fine and non-abrasive but still textured to be intended for body use. Nevertheless, you still might want to be careful because too much exfoliation could lead to irritation.

Overall Performance

It is indeed a luxury to apply this product on the skin because of its soft, whipped-like texture. It also does not feel drying or irritating at all. I feel like the scrub works to give an instant massage on tired skin and the very nice scent calms the senses. It effectively soften the skin, clean the pores without me breaking out though I didn't notice any significant reduction in my sebum production even after three weeks of use (twice-thrice a week). Nonetheless, I would say that this product clarifies and brighten the skin after every use. Considering the price point, this product is definitely a steal! I am really looking for locally-produced products that are affordable, cruelty-free and effective and Beauty Fix Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Scrub is one to consider!

Beauty Fix Nose Pack (Oil Control and Detoxify) Review

Beauty Fix Nose Pack
Bought from: Watsons
Bought for: P13 (I think?)

Is it just me? But I think black packs are more effective than those white ones. Lol. This is based on personal experience. I find that the black packs adheres better on skin and pulls dirt from within more effectively. I just wonder whether the shade matters or not. Haha! Anyway, here's a quick review on one of the cheap finds I got during my previous Watsons haul and let's see if it works! For the description, claims, directions, ingredients and manufacturing and expiry dates of this product, kindly check the photo down below.

Based on the information displayed below, this product has a good shelf life of three years. It also claims to control oil, detoxify the nose, remove blackheads and whiteheads, soften the skin with its active ingredients. For you information, I have super oily skin so I was more eager to try this first than the other variant Beauty Fix has--Whitening and oh I forgot. If I am not mistaken, this product comes with a bigger tube container with more or less 100ml of product inside. I like that it can be purchased on sample sizes first so you get to decide whether to buy the full-sized or not after the test.

Peeling packs like this mainly aims to target blackheads and whiteheads so if you have a lot of this, I encourage you to try this. In my case, I have large pores so I'm prone to clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads. I actually don't want to try peeling masks because I have zero to mild pain tolerance but I have too endure the pain to freshen up.

The product itself has a grayish black shade and is somewhat thick in consistency. It's easy but messy to apply but like all peeling masks, it takes time to dry. However, I would still advice you to keep a thick layer especially on the nose area so when it's time to peel, the easier it would take you. It smells like...I can't describe it because I'm too bad at associating scents to something, but it may bother you if you are sensitive to product scents.

And yes, I know it is a nose pack but I like using nose packs on my whole face because they adhere much better to bumps and other skin imperfections. This guarantees me that it would effectively remove most dirt and other contaminants on the skin.

I apply this twice a week for a month and the effect is still the same. What I do is clean my face first, pat it dry and apply a generous amount of BeautyFix Nose Pack all over. I will then have to wait for 15-20 minutes for it to dry completely then I would peel it starting from the chin upwards. I like that it feels so refreshing on skin. For best results, let it dry in front of a fan or air conditioner. Not only it will dry faster, it will provide cooling effect on your skin as well.

The photo above shows the pack while it is still wet, once dried and my skin afterwards. Once you peel the dried mask off (it freakin hurt! And some of my facial hairs are removed in the process), you will instantly see tiny white particles and that's what clogged your pores, whiteheads! It kinda looks gross so I did not include pictures here but try it for yourself and feel how nice it is to have cleaner and clearer complexion. Also, this product does not dry my skin out, instead, I was welcomed with softer, smoother and brighter skin. I can't really vouch for the oil control claim, however, because I do not use it everyday and not a thing that ever controls my oil (like ever) so I will leave that to you.

Overall, I like Beauty Fix Nose Pack. It is so affordable and effective in removing whiteheads and blackheads, even matured pimples! However, if you can't tolerate pain, do not use this. So that's that! Please let me know should you decided to repurchase. Happy blogging!

Beauty Fix Peel Off Mask (Whitening and Pore Minimizer) Review

Beauty Fix Peel-Off Mask Whitening and Pore Minimizer

Bought from: Watsons, SM Manila

Bought for: P20 something

I know it's quite not right to give rave reviews about a product that you haven't used for a long time much less if you haven't tried a plethora of peel-off masks. But I think products that need not to be maintained to achieve a significant effect can be an exception. In this case, I instantly fell in love with Beauty Fix Peel-off Mask because even though it's my first time to try it, I already witnessed a tremendous effect on my skin.

This Beauty Fix Peel-off Mask very much reminds me of iWhite's in terms of consistency, texture and color--creamy white, glue-like consistency like Elmer's which dries in a matter of more or less 15 minutes, still depends on temperature and amount you put on.

One sachet has 10g of products inside which I think could be used twice but I rather slather all into my face because I do not have more time in the world than I did last Friday (Fortunately, I got no school work to do!) Prolly, the next time I think of pampering myself with another peeling session, the formula's dried already.

Claims, Ingredients, Directions for use, Manufacturing and Expiry Dates

The products comes in a sachet so if you're not willing to use everything in one session, store it upright to avoid spillage. By the way, you may want to purchase the one in tubes (full size) so you can use it anytime, anywhere you want!

This product is so easy to use but messy so keep your patience intact please lol. What you are advised to do is cleanse your face first and and apply a generous amount of Beauty Fix Peel-off mask. I advise that you take the direction seriously especially the one saying to avoid parts with hair. I'm hairy all over so it's such a pain. For real. While your mask is still drying, do what you need to do. Let the minty effect refresh you and your tired skin!

As I was saying, peeling the dried mask is so painful especially for those with hairy faces like me (huhu)! I even ended up removing excess hair from the area around my mouth, outer cheeks and forehead! Tiis-ganda ang peg talaga. It's either shave your face first or face the risk.

Actually, the reason I tried peel-off mask is because I had tiny bumps on cheek area. It's not like I can maintain weekly or even monthly facial so I had to resort to peel-off masks that can also remove dirt from clogged pores and other unfathomable things on your face lol. I haven't had hopes with this but the results are good enough for a rave review.

Can you spot the difference between my pre and post peeling sesh? I had to tell you that I haven't use any filters for these photos. Look how firm, smooth, soft with less obvious pores my skin became. It's not as if my pores were gone but BeautyFix Peel-off mask gave it a more subtle appearance. My skin looks more glowing and brighter too! The bumps lessened! I just had to apologize for having acne /pimple marks which I haven't gotten rid off even after all these years. See, I do not have perfect skin. It's not even close to. I'm quite ashamed to post my bare photos especially up close but I have to. Beautyfix deserves justice. Kudos to the creator! Love it!

Now, I'm thinking of repurchasing. I also recommend it to those who wants to achieve an instant bright, firm, soft and smooth skin in in less than 30 minutes! However, if you have mild to zero pain tolerance, forget about it. For now, cheers to my recent skin care buddy! You deserve a special place in my stash.
