This one is gonna be for the ladiesss..

My mum is the kind of person who doesn’t deliver her advices in the most graceful way, but i gotta admit that i kinda like it that way cause she gives some pretty damn good advices in her own honest (and sometimes awkward) ways.

I will always remember the things she said. Not only because she repeats them almost everyday, but also because the things she says are important and true. I even started practicing some of them.

One of her advices that i’ve started practicing is going for facials. My mum said i should invest on going for facials at least once every month to maintain my complexion and youth when i get older.

Mummy knows best!

Actually, i should have started doing facials regularly a long time ago but it’s still not too late to start now. I’ll be joining the 2club this year anyway, so.. IT’S TIME! Time to get serious!

I’m really glad that i went to the facial spa that Cai Jin recommended early this month. I learnt so much from there while having my facial.

After my session at Cellnique, i semangat wanna start taking care of my skin seriously. So every day and night i’ll apply my facial products without fail no matter how lazy or drunk TIRED i am.

One thing i learnt from Cellnique is that using a facial wash that is meant for acne doesn’t necessarily mean that it will stop acne from popping out. Having one or two pimples doesn’t mean you have to start using an acne facial wash for the rest of your life.

So i’ve been doing it wrong!

This Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser from Kiehl’s that i’m currently using is actually more suitable for oily and pimple-prone skin.

My skin is the sensitive type with a combination of dry and oily (T-zone area) skin so using this is not exactly suitable for me as a cleaner that’s suited for combination skin would be better for me.

Using a facial cleaner that’s not suitable for your skin can cause it to become more dry and that’s when your skin start secreting more sebum. Therefore, more pimples!

So to counter this, we need apply moisturizer. Or just find a more suitable cleanser that doesn’t dry out the skin too much. I’d prefer a more suitable cleanser for better results.

Facial scrub is very important and it should be done at least once or twice a week. It gets rid of the dead skin cells, blackheads, whiteheads and what nots.

I remain loyal to St. Ives apricot scrub. I’ve been using it for years! The results are glorious when it’s combined with..

Cellnique’s Skin Action Sebum Gel. I got this for RM 159 from the facial spa with no regrets cause of the results it brings.

It’s a gel that reduces oil secretion, blackheads and whiteheads. I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks already and my T-zone is not as congested and rough as before. Smooth, in fact!

An advice from Cai Jin, the gel must be applied consistently or else the congestion will come back.  Lagi semangat apply this!

After applying the sebum gel, moisturizer is a must. I got back to using the one i got from Kiehl’s. It’s not so bad now. Best thing i love bout this moisturizer is that it doesn’t leave an oily sticky feeling. Fresh!

And i know i skipped the toner. My bad.. must start using toner, ugh!

Hmm.. eye cream.

I can’t say much about the results cause i don’t really see the results on myself. I apply it every night and i try to apply it during the day too. But i always stay up late facing the TV screen and PC monitor, how to improve like that?

Instead i saw improvements on the boyfriend instead so.. i guess it’s good. And i suppose it does reduce the puffiness hmm..

Ah the Shu Uemura base that i quite love. It’s a must whenever i plan to put make up on.

It evens out the skin tone and minimizes the appearance of pores. And it’s amazing how long this little bottle can last cause you only need a small portion (20 cent size or less) for the whole face.

This one here is an additional one.

Sometimes i’ll use it to freshen up my face or set my make up. However it takes skill to spray it on – not too near, not too far.

So that’s it for now. I’ll come back to this topic again if i have anything newww..
