Missha Hot Burning - Part 3 - Body Patch

The Body Patch the last step in the process, some might think this is optional but it is for areas with a high fat concentration.

Package ingredients:
Bitter orange extract, caffeine, peppermint oil, and capsaicin.

Directions:
Rip open pouch remove two patches and remove backing apply to dry areas to remove cellulite and fatty deposits (works for 8 hours).

Contains 16 x 2 patches, for more enhanced cool feeling store in refrigerator before use.

Review:

I applied the two patches to my stomach, I thought about doing my butt but in the end I didn't really want them stuck on my ass. So I liked how they really stick on where you apply also they have a pleasant peppermint smell. Some people might think they are a lot like Icy Hot patches.

I have hope these will work if nothing else I stuck a patch on for nothing but they are rather cheap and I go two for free with purchase of the gel and scrub so I'm not out anything if they don't work.

I give them a 5/5 because they are pleasant and cooling and I don't feel annoyed by them. Price for the 1 pack (containing 2 patches) is 3,000 Won so around 2.40 U.S. isn't an unreasonable price to pay if it makes you a little thinner in the process. UPDATE: I did see a reduction in my stomach area. YAY!

Missha Hot Burning - Part 2 - Body Gel

Part two lets start off with packing information and directions.

Body shaping gel for streamlined body silhouette. Sounds nice....

Contains:
Bitter Orange extract , caffein (I'm thinking caffeine?), menthol, and capsaicin. It gives you a cooling after effect and helps design your body line by adding elasticity to the skin with healing effect.

Directions:
Apply an appropriate amount to dry areas to reduce cellulite and fatty deposit by massaging it in. (I edited it as it was Konglish) For a better effect use morning and night and exercise after applying. In summer if you want an increased cooling effect keep in refrigerated.

*skin redness may appear but this normal.

Volume 200 ml

My review:

So I used the body scrub and then dried off and waited like 15 minutes before applying this gel. I have to say I didn't feel the heat but it sure was cold, I was really cold. So I actually wrapped up in a blanket for a half hour before I got dressed I was that cold and it was 70 here today and I didn't have the air conditioner on.

I do think that would make it rather pleasant to wear it in the summer but today it was a little to much, I am hot natured so normally I don't really worry about the cold. I never really did feel hot, it was more of a warmth at times so it was pleasant and comfortable. So after the coldness went away I didn't mind the gel, I will say this was not enough to make me hate this product.

I wore the product all day and went out shopping, I was aware at times that I felt like I was sweating but I just brushed the thought off it wasn't that hot. Well I was sweating, as I discovered when I went home to change for bed. And it wasn't a little it was a lot, I had to wipe myself down. So that was a little gross but at the same time I know the product worked.

I give it 5/5 despite the coldness and the sweat, at 9,000 won it is about 7.20 U.S.

So the price is right the product appears to be working I will keep you updated about how it is going over time.

Missha Hot Burning - Part 1 - Salt Body Scrub

This part 1 of a set of body products from my current favorite store Missha. Hot Burning is used to help reduce and remove cellulite with heat and cold.

Salt Body Scrub is the first step in the process.

Box Information:
Contains bitter orange extract, peppermint, tourmaline, caffeine, menthol and capsaicin. It gives a cooling after feel and helps design your body line by adding elasticity to the skin with heating effect.

Directions for use:
1. Apply an appropriate amount on wet skin, gently massage in a drawing circle motion (circular motion) then remove with water.
2. 5 - 10 minutes after shower apply gel on body for a better affect (sorry it was Kongrish so I rephrased it in English).
3. Use 2 -3 times a week

Do not use on sensitive skin (face, and lady or men parts). Also do not use on cut skin or after shaving. Keep cap clean to prevent clogs with salt residue.
Skin redness may appear after use and is normal with a salt scrub.


My review:

I really liked this product it is a fun pink and the salt is the right size to make it a nice scrub, I really liked the cooling affect and the smell of the product. The smell might be a tad strong for those who don't like strongly scented products, it smells like peppermint and musk.

I give it 5/5. Good value for the price 11,000 won around 8.70 U.S.
