  1. I'm using H2O+'s dual action exfoliating cleanser, but it doesn't moisturize so I'm going to keep an eye out for the Cure brand at Winners now!

    Good luck on your exams!

  23. I am totally in love with Biotherms Lait de Gommage scrub, I've never tried this one though. Possibly will have to add to my list of "stuff I don't really need, but feel like I need to buy anyways" :)

  24. Sometimes when I use a scrub, there will a time that it seems it stops working. When that happens, I usually change my routine and just go back to scrubs after a period of time.
