As a beauty blogger and beauty enthusiast, one of my biggest fear is any negative result in reaction towards skin care products (like break outs, irritation). I often try new skin care products and I relieved no one give worst effect to my skin. Some of my friends and readers consider that I'm lucky enough because my skin isn't too picky and not fussy in terms of trying new skin care. Till one day, I got panicked due to my skin condition..

One night, when I was cleansing my face with my regular cleansing foam, I freaked out because suddenly my skin turned out so rough, slightly reddish and itchy O_O I literally had no idea what was going on. I tried to remember which product that made me like this, or.. did I do something wrong?

I tried to figure out what this symptom is. I thought my skin need to get pampered by face mask, and later on I gave my skin face mask (in order to get back my smooth skin). Nothing happens.

Due to my tight schedule, I really had no time to see dermatologist and I had to do self-research in few days. At first, I guessed my skin turned out to orange-peel skin (because it's rough like orange-peel skin), but the symptoms of orange-peel skin are completely different with my condition. My skin was getting more itchy and reddish time by time :( My skin became more sensitive and felt quite sore when I tried to moisturize my skin with my regular serum and night cream. Accidentally, I know the reason behind this skin problem.. My skin was irritated and inflamed.

That's the reason why my skin refused any skin care product that contains chemical substances (in return, my skin felt quite sore). My skin demanded for skin care remedy that contains least chemical substances >_< I'm not really sure (till now), which ingredient in my new skin care product that made me like this.. But after this incident, I will ensure myself to avoid (or at least reduce) any use of product that contains the same or derivative ingredients.

Packaging

Since long time ago till 2015, Tender Care is always designed in same way. If I'm not mistaken, Tender Care even has been invented since 1970 o_o Is it true? Please correct me if I'm wrong. It such a BIG WOW for a skin care product for surviving in decades. For the packaging itself, it's designed like an standing egg shape and there are several variants of this Tender Care. Each color represent each variant, and the Original variant of Tender Care has light pink color packaging. Tender Care has perfect size for travelling :D

Dari jaman dahulu kala hingga sekarang tahun 2015, kemasan Tender Care ngga pernah berubah. Malahan, denger-denger Tender Care udah ada dari tahun 1970 an lho! Ada yang bisa bantu klarifikasi ngga ya? o_o Kalo bener dari tahun segitu, berarti WOW banget kan kalo bisa bertahan sampe detik ini. Bentuknya bulat seperti telur, tapi bisa berdiri. Tender Care ini ada beberapa jenis varian, setiap varian berbeda warna kemasan. Varian originalnya berwarna pink muda. Ukuran Tender Care ini pas banget buat travelling karena mungil :D
