A few weeks ago, I was instagram-ming mysteriously about a beach trip.

It is actually for a product launch for Johnson’s Body Care Oxygen Fresh at a place called Gem Island! This place is called Gem Island! I’ve never heard of it, only for this trip.

It’s a tiny island located off the coast of Terengganu. It’s so tiny that you can walk the entire island in twenty minutes. And there’s only one beach resort on it.

It’s also incredibly gorgeous.

Clear water and fine white sand!

Hammocks…

Swings!!!!

And lotsa baby turtles.  Possibly the best part of the trip for me <3  There was a turtle conservation program going on on Gem Island where baby turtles were reared in a pool until they were old enough to be released into the sea.  We got to witness the baby turtles being released onto the beach and scuttle off to the water <3  But scarily, there were already eagles flying low around us waiting to eat the baby turtles :X

Me with Maria Elena of Peliks. When we took this picture we were like “wah so picturesque there’s even a sampan behind us” but turns out the sampan was full of garbage carrying garbage back to the mainland for disposal 

My roommate for the trip!  Her name is Fida and I think she’s a pretty popular Malaysian actress.  Sorry I very dungu when it comes to local celebrities >.>  She was very friendly and talkative.  Quite fun and eye-opening rooming with her cos she showed me different ways to tie her head scarf wtf.  Sorry ah very unexposed my Malay friends all don’t wear head scarves.  And we spent hours sharing and comparing the blogging world and the local showbiz scene wtf.

Liyana Fizi was also there! I was a bit starstruck when I met her cos I don’t really keep track of artists especially local celebrities but I’ve heard of her!  So she must be very famous lolol.  She was the sweetest girl, no diva attitude at all.  Actually she was the friendliest person on the trip if the trip was a beauty pageant I think she win Miss Congeniality wtf.

They picked a bunch of bloggers and local celebrities to go on this special trip.  I think they brought us to the ocean to prove a point because Oxygen Fresh contains natural minerals and aqua moisture essence from the blue depths of ocean wanna show Oxygen Fresh fresh and hydrating as the sea hahaha.

Launch time!  The Johnson clients with Megan Tan from 8TV, Fida, Liyana Fizi, Diandra (another singer) and Miss Malaysia (forgot her name fml)

Megan was actually the host so she was interviewing the celebrities’ about their experience using Oxygen Fresh.

So here’s my turn to review it!!!

A clearer shot of what the bottle looks like.

Now I’m all about body lotions. Especially cos my skin is very prone to dryness. After I shower every night I sure apply body lotion wan cos I sleep and stay in aircon environments nearly 24 hours a day. Aircon is damn bad for your skin! I think I started when I was in the US and faced the awful harsh winters and my leg skin became all scaly I thought I became a snake wtf.

Anyway most lotions are usually quite heavy and sticky. I got used to it because lotions are supposed to be like that but when I first started applying I used to hate the feeling of a heavy residue on my skin.

But this one is very different!

Like its name, it’s a gel rather than a cream like most other lotions, so it’s a bit more watery.

And like water, when you spread it over your skin, it absorbs very easily into your skin.

I tested it out during the trip and usually if I’m at the beach I don’t bother with body lotion cos the proximity to the sea makes everything humid and sticky and it’s damn uncomfortable if you apply lotion some more.  But not with Oxygen Fresh!  No sticky residue wan even after applying it in humid conditions.

If you don’t like sticky heavy lotions then can try this out ah.  But remember, must use lotion on a daily basis!  I apply it after every shower.

The coolest thing is, like water, Oxygen Fresh is actually ‘cooling’.  As it absorbs in, it leaves you feeling like you just pat water on your skin then put it under a fan.  Very refreshing one! I don’t know how they did it actually but it’s great for our hot weather.

Use this before you leave the house and you can probably stand the heat better hahaha.

It’s fragrant too!  It smells a bit sweet but very cool and light at the same time.

All ready for the heat and humidity wtf.

All of us on the trip gave video testimonials on our experience with Oxygen Fresh! Here’s mine
