No worry. This is
NOT sponsored post by any means.
I would like to share with people some of my skincare regimes (duh! if you ever interested!) LoL!
I am, at no exception, someone who used to have only-god-knows-how-terrible my acne problem was! SERIOUSLY. Back at O-level (equiv: SPM) times! It was as worst as it caused my confidence level at that times was..... even below zero. I didn't like taking pictures at that time.. i probably run away or put my head down when I saw a camera being carried around - even I know that person won't take my pictures anyway. But hey, who knows? YES- My paranoia level was hella crazy too!
But those were the times!
After undergoing some treatment, traditional and non-traditional treatment, no... no worries, I did not reach the surgical treatment level though.. LoL!
You say it.. I might have try it. Some of them might be;
- applying toothpaste over the pimples
- putting heated daun sirih over (z)it.. - not working.
- putting slices of raw potato over (z)it.. - only god knows how itchy it felt!
- making egg white as masker
- eating some Indonesian jamu
- tried different ranges of skin products - tea tree oil
- going to government hospital to have them give me some antibiotics called tetracycline which worked for a while.. but ONLY for a while.
- going to private clinics for some better medication - no, it didn't work, it dried up for a while then it came back and there goes my mom's hundred bucks.. T_T
- reducing my consumption of oily foods and nutty foods - tried it.. but no... it won't work.
- the doctor even asked me to reduce my weights - it was hard at that times! hohohoho!
until I went back to the government hospital and told them off that I've practically tried everything... that they gave up and referred me to the skin specialist at the main hospital.
Thanks to Dr. Sabrina (yes, I still remember her name) who have to face my frustrated-and-oh-so-disappointed-and-begging-please-help-me-doc face at the time..and then prescribed me to another antibiotics. I remember she said "this is the strongest we have at the moment and it may give you some side effects". So for my skin.... I'd do anything! She even asked to make sure if I am married, or if I am pregnant or not pregnant, plan to get married or not since she would not advice the medication for someone who plan to get pregnant at near times or whatsoever. She also briefed me for other side effects that I take noted and I did experience ohmygosh!
The side effects were disastrous. Consuming the pills dried me out from inside. I had my lips bleeding. I've got a dandruff-like flakes on my hair - my skin is drying! my body felt so dehydrated and in search of water at most times~ my nails - i got a lot of hangnails. and it did affect my menstruation a little bit.. it came late!
And after going all through this, ALHAMDULILLAH~ Alhamdulillah~ Allah allows me to see the world with my heads up~ and face the oh-so-wonderful world! ^^
I have no or seldom break out until now! My skin cried out the INDEPENDENCE! INDEPENDENCE! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! They can breathe easier now! And all the side effects are all gone too :)
Well.. I don't have a smooth baby skin though..since during the pre-treatment times.. I was so keen to pick the zits..and it did left mark to my face - but Alhamdulillah, it's getting better now. I have tried range of skin products too!
I think I've found my partner-for-life when I chose to use Garnier Blue/Green products. I barely remembered what's the ranges name. I used the facial wash, toner, day and night moisturizer and its skin corrector. I used this when I was in UK. But when I came back for good after degree, Inoticed that they didn't have the range being sold here - and it started to dry my skin further. So I stopped. Then I opted for Body Shop Sensitive Skin Facial Wash. I will love this product forever! I used it for a while until I changed it again to Neutrogena Deep Cleanising Whitening which was very rare too and always out of stock here! Fufufufufu~~~
Went to OZ - then chose my skin product carefully - and look, I still go, go, go for Body Shop! The salesgirl was so friendly and with really a good knowledge. It was a bit pricey (well when did Body Shop never have a high price..lol!) for a student like me. But I was on allowance-is-out day at that time, so I purchased it~ the Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Wash and Body Seaweed Scrub Gel and I used it until it was over few months ago - I was in Brunei already for good.
Then when I was running out of it.. so I thought of changing it.
And I was like- hey, let's try Hyun Joong's skin product! LOLL!
Because my heart always want to try this... and I keep saying, I want to try this one day when I am affordable. Yes, B$16.90 was expensive! But for that volume of facial wash compared to the Body Shop which is of small volume and caused me B$18.90.. poooooof! *choked*
But I won't switch my Body Shop Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator - because I'm comfy with it~ and I still have it! LOLLL Let's see when I ran out of it! hehehehe and I am in love with this product forever yosh!
Love the smell, love how it has made my skin feel.. it's so goooood.. and REFRESHING! and it gives that feeling every time I use it. This one is definitely worth a penny to waste on Body Shop! xD

So for the new test-try,
I tried and used Face Shop Brightening Facial Wash Migamsu

so far.. until now.. it has been treating me fine. It makes you feel like Kim Hyun Joong washing your face for you... washing it gently... awwwww... ehhhhhh too much exaggeration.. LOL... joking joking.. but it makes my skin feels smooth and soft after a first wash.. it smells good too. For further use, i realised it improved my skin texture, perhaps.. it makes me applying my make-ups easier :)
Totally recommended this to everyone!
Love it as much as I love the Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Wash :)
Probably both .. has improved my skin condition better.
and it made me smile to the ears also yo~ when I decided to make this post and read this while looking for images of the Migamsu..
Quoted:
....The star, who has flawless skin, then spoke about his fave product from TFS. “The facial product I like the most is the Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu) for cleansing...
Image credits goes to K-popped.com Bubble credits are at my own leisure. xDDan-dan lahh.. nak beri aku set tu as barang hantaran.. but seriously ..that one.. is very is the expensive yo! Tak larat I... so betul lah tunggu dia send one as barang hantaran then I shall use it... kekekeke ... I'm pretty sure you will look gorgeous like him if you used this set.. ahahahahahha! Just hoping it will not turn you look like Kim Hyun Joong the next day.. please don't get near to me if so... hehehehe i might get confused...
For my make-ups...
that sounds heavy..
but it's not actually...
three important things to me will be:
- pressed powder/foundation/BB Cream
- eyeliner
- lipgloss
And to date now, for all these three- I've updated my ranges to use Etude House products! YAYNESS!
I love its BB cream to bits!
I used the Precious BB Cream mineral :)

Why I love it.. is because I don't have to apply further loose powder over it.. it covers my skin just like putting a thin veil over it.. and I feel safe about it. Exaggerated comments would be, "I feel like being Go Mi Nam for a day.. I feel like Shin Woo-hyung was following me all the way long..every time I wear this" AHAHAHAHAHA! POYO-ness! Covered all the blemishes - which that's what it purpose was. heheh... BB stands for Blemish Balm .. covering up all the blemishes.

Wore this one. Dual Change Eyeliner! Tho.. the off-point will be.. the thin brush doesn't work really well. So at most times I have to use the thick brush. But it was OK. Rasa nak main kelip-kelip mata je ngan Jeremy tetiba bila rasa pakai benda nih~~ heheheehehehe

So practically, that's all about my regime.
Nothing much grand.
Because I cannot afford it at the moment..
But if I ever can afford it one day... I would love to try the SK-II Facial Range! ^^
