my skin

so, in a previous POTD post..i posted about Oratane *click*! and how ive been talking them and its been helping my skin tremendously! it has been and i love it! but there are other forces at play! :P

 see, the complains i have for my skin are (in order)

1.  the break-outs (pimples, black heads, white heads and such!)
2. dull-ness
3. red-ness
4. combination skin (super oily at T-zone & at the same time it can be dry n flaky)
5. the pores on my nose are HUGE!
6. my skin is vein-y! like u can see my veins!

the break-outs and such are mostly dealt with by Oratane! :) thus reducing the redness (by a little bit).
the dull-ness however...many thanks goes to SK-II Treatment Essence

 after using this..i really noticed a change! my skin is getting less and less dull by the day! and brighter! :) am so happy! this is definitely a re-purchase! :)

another product ive been enjoying is the Ginvera Marvel Gel!

 

it say to remove black heads and brighten skin!
ive read tons of review on this! and it seems pretty good! so i tried it out!
honestly, im not sure if its doing what it says its supposed to do because well, i am taking Oratane that helps with my black heads and SK-II Treatment Essence is brightening my skin! so really, i cant tell.
but still i enjoy using this. and will definitely re-purchase this! what i do like about this is that my skin does feel softer, fresher, cleaner after i use it! :) this is always a plus for me! lol..and no, i do not feel any irritation or tightening of the skin! so, like like like!

and somehow..in the midst of all these products...
i notice that the red-ness is lessen! i mean i still DO get red-ness around the usual spots..but its lessened! like its not as red as it used to be! :)
the dry-ness and flaky-ness are not out of control!
and so is the oily-ness! acutally, i think that the oily-ness is pretty much tamed! :)

OH just to throw this in since this has turned out into a skincare post..

for my daily wash..ive been using Cetaphil *click*!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

well, as the name suggest! it is a really gentle cleanser..it washes really nicely and its for sensitive skin! this product can be used wet or dry! u either massage it on to dry skin then wash it off and use it like how u normally use any other cleanser!

u can also use this to remove your make up! either rub this on your skin, dry then use a cotton pad to wipe away your make up..or squirt some on your cotton pad and then wipe your make up off!

again, i dont know if this is helping my skin, but i like how it feels on my skin and it does its job in cleansing! also, it is a really gentle cleanser for daily use! so, no complains! and this is a really trusted brand!

oh! ive also been using this when i cleanse my face!

silicone face brush
found in SASA for about rm20

its really nice to use! :) couldnt find one in purple tho! :( but i know it exist! lol! not the point!
so first i massage the cleanser on my face..normal stuff..clean clean clean..then i use this a scrub my face! i use it in circular motion all over my face and under my chin for about a minute or so..then i was off...
it leaves my skin feeling very clean! like scrub clean! but my skin doesnt feel raw or what-so-ever! so yay! :)

whats left to work on is the pores! they are still huge and still thinking of ways to fix this!
and my eye area! i need to lighten the dark circles! le sigh!
oh yes, and the veins! can it be helped? im not sure, its it genetics? or because my skin is thinner on my face hence noticeable? arghhh!

but relatively! im happy with the way my skin is improving now! :) no new pimples of such! just the old ones healing! :)
<3 sent all around! :)
