I had been struggling with large, open pores for quite some time and had tried numerous methods to reduce their appearance without much success. It was a frustrating experience as I couldn’t find a solution that effectively minimized the size of my pores. I experimented with various skincare products and routines, but nothing seemed to provide the results I was looking for.

Then, I came across the Medicube Zero Pore Pads and decided to give them a try based on the promising reviews and ingredients they contained.

The Medicube Zero Pore Pads are designed to exfoliate and refine pores, making them perfect for individuals who are concerned about enlarged pores, seeking smoother skin texture, dealing with excess oiliness, or facing issues with blackheads and whiteheads. The Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0 are dual-textured facial toner pads designed to exfoliate the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. They contain 4.5% Lactic Acid AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and 0.45% Salicylic Acid BHA (beta hydroxy acid). The AHA and BHA ingredients work to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities, while also helping to control oil production and prevent clogged pores.

How to use them

These pads are intended to be used after cleansing, with the user leaving the pad on the skin for 5 to 10 minutes before gently patting in the remaining essence. They are formulated to be suitable for all skin types, and are designed to improve skin texture, minimize pores, and promote a smoother, clearer complexion.

I absolutely adore the Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0! These little pads have become a staple in my skincare routine, and for good reason. They work wonders on my skin by gently exfoliating and effectively controlling oil production, while also minimizing my pores. What I love most about these pads is how easy they are to use – simply apply after cleansing and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes before patting in the remaining essence. They are incredibly gentle and have not caused any irritation to my sensitive skin. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the texture and clarity of my skin since incorporating them into my routine.

The result is a smooth and refreshed complexion that I can’t get enough of. I am adding before and afer pictures of my face and after pictures are taken after a month’s use

One of the things I appreciate about these pads is that they don’t hve any strong fragrance. It felt lavender-citrusy to me, not overpowering. The double-sided, durable design ensures that I get the most out of each pad. Additionally, the non-sticky formula is a bonus that I appreciate. The single pad notably cover both the face and neck, and they have also shown good results in reducing recurring acne bumps and improving pore size. I use these pads about 2-3 times a week, usually at night after cleansing my face and patting it dry. I make sure to skip using them on days when I use Retinol or after I’ve had hydra facials or skin PRP treatments. While some may be tempted to refrigerate the product for a cooling effect, it’s essential to note that this could lead to premature drying of the toner essence. Additionally, caution is advised when using it alongside other actives to avoid potential irritation. When incorporating the toner pads into your routine, it’s advisable to streamline your skincare regimen and refrain from using conflicting products. I personally used the Hyaluronic acid followed by Estee Lauder ANR OR Clarins Double Serum OR Shesha Ayurveda Kumkumadi Cream alongside the toner pads. For optimal results, users should have some experience with similar products, such as Pixi Glow Tonic, prior to using the Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0.

Overall, the Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0 are formulated to provide an effective solution for exfoliation and pore care, helping users achieve a healthier and more radiant skin appearance. I wouldn’t say pores can completely disappear, But it does blur them to a great extent almost invisible unless under closer proximity. If you’re on the hunt for a quick and effective solution to tackle enlarged pores or oily skin, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0 a try. Buy here

Dear Me, The World is Better With You In It :)

Apa kabar kalian di bulan kedua tahun 2023?

Saya? Masih jobless (saya belum cerita ya? Emang malas cerita, dan nggak kepengin ditanya-tanya) seperti kemarin 🙂 

BACA JUGA: MARI BERANDAI-ANDAI KITA BISA JOBBYMOON~

Tapi santai sih nggak ya, masih tetap sibuk. 

…

Nah, kali ini saya mau cerita sedikit. Beberapa waktu lalu saya menemukan kesenangan baru lo. Tepatnya kesenangan lama yang bersemi kembali. Hayo, tebak apa?

Yep, menggambar! Melukis, menggambar, lettering, doodling, sketching... Apa aja yang melibatkan pensil, drawing pen dan kertas 🙂

Akhir-akhir ini hidup memang kurang menyenangkan dan saya cenderung lebih suka menghindari interaksi dengan orang lain. Interaksi dengan anak dan suami sudah cukup. Kalau ditambah orang banyak apalagi yang nggak memahami kondisi saya sekarang, rasanya sangat melelahkan bahkan agak menyesakkan. 

Saya nggak suka harus menjelaskan apa-apa dan saya takut being misunderstood. Intinya, saya lagi nggak kepengin sosialisasi sama siapa-siapa sekarang. 

Kalau saya mau ngobrol sama kamu, itu artinya kamu cukup nyaman buat saya. Bukan salah orang-orang sih, ya cuma saya lagi rapuh, hatinya gampang retak 😀 😀

Saya pun sudah mulai agak muak sama linkedin nih, jadi sekarang lebih fokus ke hal yang membuat senang tapi juga menghasilkan sesuatu, seperti menggambar, misalnya. 


Karena saya baru mulai lagi, jelas saya jauh lah dari jago. Tapi menorehkan sesuatu di atas kertas itu menyenangkan sekali. Saya bisa lupa sejenak kalau saya sudah nggak punya kerja tetap, lupa sejenak soal harga kebutuhan hidup yang makin naik gila-gilaan, dan soal ongkos anak sekolahan. 

Waktu menggambar, melukis atau sekadar doodling saya bisa sebentar fokus pada apa yang saya kerjakan dan nggak sibuk memikirkan masalah saya. Rasanya tenang dan menyenangkan. Suka banget! 

Diawali dengan art supplies yang seadanya, harapan saya sih nanti bisa upgrade sedikit-sedikit ya.

Yang saya suka saat doodling, lettering atau watercoloring adalah saya bisa sibuk sejenak merasa bermanfaat. Saya berdaya, bisa menghasilkan sesuatu dan menikmati prosesnya. Saya bisa fokus dengan karya saya (nggak peduli hasilnya gimana) dan saya yakin saya bisa improve kemampuan dengan rajin berlatih. Ada kepastian, dan itu rasanya menentramkan. 

Soalnya jujur saja, belakangan saya makin merasa useless. Saya nggak merasa cocok lagi kerja di bidang yang menuntut saya kerja kantoran 9-5, tapi saya juga butuh rutinitas dalam hidup. Saya tuh kadang ngerasa, saya tuh sebenarnya berguna nggak sih hidup di dunia ini? 😀 Tapi ya jelas berguna selama anak saya masih butuh diurus hehe. 

Tapi nggak lama lagi, dia akan tumbuh besar dan saya akan mulai jadi background. Oleh karena itu, menemukan sukacita dalam melukis dengan cat air memberi saya harapan bahwa saya bisa melakukan sesuatu yang saya suka dan sekaligus menghasilkan sesuatu. Untuk saat ini mungkin hasilnya masih remah rengginang, tapi yang penting saya menikmati prosesnya. 

Otak saya bisa fokus ke apa yang di hadapan saya, saya nggak sibuk buka medsos, atau memikirkan saya nanti kerja apa, siapa yang mau mempekerjakan saya, kenapa saya begini dan begitu. Rasanya nyaman dan saya tahu, yang saya kerjakan saat ini baik untuk kesehatan mental saya. 

Yang lebih menarik lagi nih, kalau kalian iseng cek-cek Youtube tutorial dari watercolor guru seperti Jenna Rainey dan Shayda Campbell, tutorial mereka itu sangat therapeutic lo. Jauh dari kata-kata mengintimidasi saat ngajarin tutorial menggambar. Video mereka itu justru sangat menyemangati dan ngepuk-puk para newbie kayak saya, bilang kamu pasti bisa, kamu nggak harus mulai dengan kesempurnaan dan kemampuan itu pasti berkembang asal latihan. 

Saat mulai belajar melukis, kita nggak usah risau hasilnya harus perfect kayak punya orang-orang yang udah pro. 

Kalimat-kalimatnya saat kasih tutorial itu kasih keyakinan bahwa menggambar itu (seharusnya) menyenangkan dan kita bisa kembangkan asal ada kemauan. Semangat kan jadinya untuk melukis? Intinya fokus ke kesenangan jiwa kita ya, nggak usah mikirin hasilnya bakal gimana-gimana~

Kalau yang lokal, saya suka juga sama Mbak 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 yang punya IG @cathflo.art karena tipsnya mudah dan gaya gambarnya cantik banget 🙂
Untuk kamu yang saat ini sedang bingung mau ke mana, mau ngapain, dan bingung mau cerita sama siapa, journalling dan doodling itu sangat meringankan lo. Nggak usah berpikir mau bikin yang sempurna ya! Ingat tujuannya untuk stress-release, bukan untuk lomba bagus-bagusan~

Btw, saya juga kadang misuh estetik dengan menuliskan kata-kata menyebalkan dengan tulisan ala handlettering lo haha. Meski kata-katanya misuh, proses lettering-nya bikin saya tenang. 
You do you pokoknya. Kalau hari ini kurang menyenangkan tetap semangat ya. Banyak hal yang bisa dikerjakan, dan kamu bisa mulai dari yang kamu suka. 

Suka baca fiksi, baca aja sampai keblinger. Suka nulis, tuliskan semua sampai lega. Suka menggambar, gambar aja sampai tangan pegal. 

Kita itu berharga banget, dan dunia butuh orang seperti kita. Dunia BISA lebih baik dengan kehadiran kita. 


Semangattttt!


xoxo, 
Raisa

Should a World Class Boxer Have a Plus Size Girlfriend: Why You Should Mind Your Damn Business

Should a World Class Boxer Have a Plus Size Girlfriend: Why You Should Mind Your Damn Business

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


The internet is a vast realm where the good, the bad, and the ugly coalesce. While its utility is undeniable, the darker side of the digital landscape rears its ugly head far too often. A prime example of this is the recent vitriolic episode involving suspended boxer Tyan Booth, who shamelessly trampled over personal boundaries by passing derogatory comments about world champion boxer Terence Crawford’s girlfriend, Alindra Person. It’s high time we address the toxic inclination of nosing into people’s personal lives and hurling baseless insults.

Booth’s thoughtless remark, plastered across social media, questioned whether a world champion like Terence Crawford should have a “fat” girlfriend. The audacity of such a statement is astonishing, as it reflects a distressing disregard for the privacy and feelings of those involved. Despite its callousness, the comment managed to attract the attention of Twitter users and boxing enthusiasts, including the very people it targeted.

Even American boxer Jamel Herring, rather than admonishing Booth for his lack of decency, chose to add fuel to the fire, a disappointing display of how low some individuals are willing to stoop. The rapid spread of such negativity is a testament to the darker side of the internet – a breeding ground for trolls and troublemakers.

What’s more appalling is the fact that these reprehensible remarks garnered any attention at all. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is essential to recognize the thin line between expressing one’s thoughts and openly demeaning someone based on their appearance. It is a sad day when an individual’s accomplishments and character are overshadowed by the shallow judgments of others.

Alindra Person, a woman who should never have been subjected to such public humiliation, received an outpouring of support from fans online. It is heartening to see people rallying against such deplorable behavior. Yet, the question remains: why should such negativity even exist in the first place?

Tyan Booth’s track record of insensitivity and past suspension by the British Boxing Board of Control for his callous remarks only compounds the issue. When will we collectively realize that dragging innocent family members into personal rivalries is a stain on human decency? Crawford and his fans demonstrated commendable restraint in their responses, but such a situation should never have occurred.

Terence Crawford is a renowned boxer, a master of his craft who has achieved greatness in the welterweight division. His prowess in the ring should not become a platform for unwarranted scrutiny of his personal life. The fact that he has a loving partner, Alindra Person, and six children, speaks to his character and values outside the ring. It is a shame that rather than acknowledging this, the focus is directed toward thoughtless comments about appearance.

Alindra Person, a dedicated partner and mother, has been thrust into the spotlight undeservingly. Her life, her choices, and her appearance are her business, not public fodder. It is disappointing that society’s obsession with appearances has led us to a point where a person’s worth is measured in inches and pounds rather than in their kindness, integrity, and contributions.

In conclusion, let this serve as a scathing reminder that meddling in the personal affairs of others, particularly in a derogatory and baseless manner, is a despicable act. Terence Crawford’s achievements should be celebrated in the ring, and his personal life respected outside of it. Alindra Person, like any other individual, deserves the right to live her life without becoming a victim of internet vitriol. Unfortunately, for some men this is the reason they are afraid to love anyone outside of “what is expected.” Some might even forget this detail…you know that people are attracted to a wide variety of bodies.
