Biore Daily Deep Pore Cleansing Wipes Reviewke

This is one of the things that I currently use in my constant fight against acne. 



I wear makeup because I hate the acne scarring on my face. The downside though, is that the makeup can cause more pimples.

To avoid aggravating, or at least to help prevent new blemishes, I try to make sure that I clean my face thoroughly.

This is a convenient product to use to take off my makeup. No need to fuss with cotton pads. Each pack contains 25 wipes, which is about 1 month's supply. The pack is easy to carry around and suitable when travelling overseas.

The cloth is textured and helps to exfoliate the skin as well. However, I find that it is not enough on its own to help prevent blemishes. I think it's because makeup residue is still left on the skin. Please note that it may be too drying for some people, depending on your skin type. On me though, it's fine to use, but I do moisturise asap.

This is normally only the first step in my nightime skincare routine. For my complete routine please click here.

Cleansing skin at the end of day - help to prevent acne!

Another weapon in my fight against acne is a blackhead extractor. I purchased this from a pharmacy in Hong Kong, but most pharmacies in any western country should sell one.

Unfortunately my I Phone can't zoom - there is actually some sebum on this. Ooooh my chipped nail polish looks horrible! Sorry....
 It's very simple to use - just position over blackhead and press down. Be careful not to bruise the skin.

I normally do my extractions after I have removed my makeup using the Biore Daily Deep Pore Cleansing Wipe, washed my face with cleanser and toned with the Biore Triple Action toner. 


Doing this helps to ensure that my pores are clear to help breakouts.


See the results below. Ewwwww.




The sebum clogging my pores usually lead to this:



As soon as a blemish begin to form, I usually douse it with the Biore toner or with Dr Perricone's Skin Clear Toner to help tone down the inflammation.

The Dr Perricone is more effective than the Biore toner. However the price difference is vast. Here the Dr Perricone costs $99 whereas the toner wouldn't be more than $15. So I save the Dr Perricone for big blemishes.



Final step - I moisturize with Mandom Barrier Repair. As mentioned before, salycylic acid does dry your skin, so it's important to ensure that you mositurise adequately. I love this moisturiser because it plumps up my skin without being greasy. A great gel moisturizer. Claims to have a high penetration of hyaluronic acid.




I wish I can show you what my chin looked liked a few months ago. At one stage it was really really bad. It looked as though my chin erupted.


Grateful that I discovered salicylic acid and the extractor to help control the breakout.

Paradise Ranch Episode 10 English Subtitles

OK, found a faster way of getting subs. 

You can download .srt files with the subtitles from here. This is the fastest site that I can get subs from. The subbers have requested that no hard subs be uploaded, so sorry I can't share mine with you.

Then all you need to do is find a raw file and then you can stitch them together with software such as submux from Vobsub.


If you can't be bothered, then try the site as linked on my previous post here!


Good luck and enjoy!
