BB Creams

 

 

Apparently, I am not one of those girls with perfect, luminous skin. 

 

I do have some dark spots, and oh, I've spotted some wrinkles in the making!    Thanks to the BB creams for covering them up.    BB creams gained their popularity in Asia.    Blemish balm/Blemish base are like tinted moisturizers.    I've been using Garnier and Body Shop's BB Creams ever since.    These do not make my skin dry or oily and has the matte finish effect.    I do put moisturizer first - yes,  I have to moisturize a lot as the weather here are extremes, then I put on a pea-size amount of the BB cream before I put on light powder.  This stays up the whole day, can you believe it!  Have you tried one yet?  Share me your story. 

A Korean's Almost Perfect Skin

Have you ever wondered why Koreans have such great skin?

I've been thinking about it lately.

Maybe because I was watching lots of Korean series during the Eid break but honestly, they really do have such great complexion.

I am even thinking if they had experienced having break outs or a pimple at least.

Since we had gone parasailing and swam at the beach, I am a little tan now.

Aside from that, I always have this crazy pimple on my chin especially if I am stressed out or deprived of sleep.

Whiteheads and blackheads are also my concern.

After much research and consideration, I had come up with some tricks to try on:

1) Massage my face with ice at least every other night.

2) Deep clean my face with the masks I got from H&M (they are great! my skin felt so soft and clean).

3) Clean, tone and moisturize at least twice a day (morning and evening).

4) Try to go natural by using lemon and honey mask every one in a while. I've read on the internet that lemon helps to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads as well as pimple scars.

5) Treat my blackheads and whiteheads with tea tree oil.

I have to swear to follow these and check if there will be some changes.

By the way, I got some Garnier products to try on too.

I've tried lots of products and hopefully, this will be a perfect match for my skin.

Well, we'll see in the coming days.

Here's to a clear skin!

XoXo,
