Assalamualaikum and hye guys and girls! I remembered one of my male friend in college asking me about how do I take care of my skin, especially the face part. So now, I will reveal my secret! (ececece~ konon secret la sangat kan..) Here's are my MUST have
Actually not lah must have sangat kan. But it is very useful if you had that jerawat on your face. To tell you the truth, I am not that extremist macam so ikut pantang bagai, but to have these things sometimes memang good for you especially masa muka korang sangat bermasalah dan buat perangai.
The main thing is cleanser. Cleanser yang I pakai (currently) is Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash from The Body Shop. Memang this cleanser suits my skin. I think dah lama jugak. I first try it few years back, then I ada switch to another product, but still I pakai balik this cleanser. Sebabnya this product macam not that pekat macam men's punya cleanser, yang selalunya clogged my pores and make my skin worst. Dalam pengalaman, cleanser jenis yang light-light like this one, or Neutrogena, sangat sesuai for my skin. FYI, I have combination skin.
Then you should have at least a scrub. Scrub ni gunanya untuk tanggalkan sel-sel kulit mati. I guna these scrub macam once a week je sebab scrubbing your face daily akan rosak kan kulit. Kalau I pakai pun sure my face will turn out red sebab my skin are quite sensitif. So, guna bila perlu! (Currently I pakai St. Ives and that Vitamin C from Body Shop)
Now we go for toner. Toner for me agak penting sikit daripada scrub. Toner gunanya untuk mengimbangi semula and hydrating back your skin. Avoid toner yang ada alcohol (if can) tapi memang susah nak cari and I pun sampai sekarang tak tahu which toner yang tak ada alcohol. FYI, alcohol ni sebenarnya baik untuk kulit sebab ia akan clean your skin dari backteria. But, do we need to kill all the bacteria including the good one? Jadi skin akan lebih prone to breakouts! (Nivea Visage botol biru tu toner yang I pakai sekarang)
Now, I tell you about how to prevent and treat breakouts. Biasanya bila I ada jerawat, I will put that Oxy 5 tu. Oxy 5 main ingredient is Benzoyl Peroxide (BP). Kalau korang memang familiar dengan this "skin care thinging", korang memang tahu apa kegunaannya. BP ni gunanya untuk merawat jerawat. Bila sapu kat kulit memang jerawat akan kering dan akhirnya akan kecut. Tapi bukanlah serta merta, ada masanya juga. Then after those jerawat dah kurang or whatsoever, I tend to put Bio-Oil at that place, so that parut akan hilang. It said that Bio-Oil is good for scars, but not that scars on your face. For me, setakat ni OK je, no problem or benda pelik-pelik jadi.
Moisturiser? Last time I ada try pakai but seriously, memang tak sesuai for my skin. It tends to get very oily macam berlari 100km sejam OK! So I just put sunscreen/sunblock on my skin instead. Sunscreen ni jugak a bit oily, biasanya girls akan cover it up dengan compact powder or some loose powder.. but do guys need it? Seriously, I need sunscreen sebab my face memang senang kene sunburn! Last time pernah one day before I knew about sunscreen, my face burned sampai kulit mengelupas dan boleh di peel macam kulit limau. So, it is a must for me!
Apa-pun, just wanna tell you guys, I do avoid cleanse my skin two times daily (macam yang selalu dikatakan dan dihebahkan) sebab for me, I lebih suka biarkan my skin on it's natural way. Kiranya kurangkan letak bahan-bahan ni kat muka. Natural is the best! FYI, my routine is, I cleanse my face after mandi, (so that kulit tu dah basah and lembab) then baru shave (kalau perlu). After that, baru I put toner, followed by BP, then cover it up with sunscreen (kalau waktu malam skip those sunscreen). Tu je.
I think that's all untuk entry kali ni.. So if ada apa-apa soalan, jangan malu untuk bertanya! Or kalau ada any pandangan dan pengalaman sendiri, boleh share! Sharing is caring, kan! Till next time.
