5 REASONS FOR YOUR ACNE BREAKOUTS

Hi beautiful,

Acne won't kill you.  It is here to hound you and make you feel miserable.  No, it doesn’t magically disappeared overnight by going to bed.  Here are the 5 reasons that you have acne breakouts and how to deal with them in animation forms.  I hope that you will like them.

Here is the video version if you want to see animated version of this article.

1. Puberty

Growing up is hard enough but acne has to mess up your most exciting time.  The triggers are testosterone and androgen.  These hormones just change your skin structures and thus  all the sudden eruption all over your face.

If you are female there are chances that you will get acne even when you are over 21.

2.  Allergies

It is the hidden killer of your skin.  Your skin doesn’t have a mouth that you are poisoning it.  Contact dermatitis is skin allergies.  Everyone has different kind of triggers so get checked.  It could be anything from food such as dairy, sugar, gluten, fragrance, essential oils to rarer ones such as tea, snail, grass, pollen etc

3.  Cosmetics

For those that get their makeup done by others, dirty makeup brushes and low quality makeup can lead to irritation on the skin.

For skincare products, using too many skincare products at the same time without trying them out one by one for at least one month can just break your skin out.  Look into skincare products for your skin type and not what your favourite youtubers are using.

The non comedogenic is tested on rabbit’s ear and not on human so it isn’t accurate to how the skin products will work on your skin.

4.  Clothes

Just make sure to clean your hat, your glasses, change your bed sheets, gym bags and pillow cases every week.  Dust and oil on those clothing can trap unwanted stuff to your skin.

5.  Genetics

Some people just get the end of the short sticks.  So you can’t just the same bar soap for your face and your body else hell break loose.

So what are the solutions for this acne?

If you have access to dermatologists, then they will give you some options.  The last resort is usually accutance which has to be given by medical professional.  It is not a miracle with zero side effects though so read them up first before jumping to this head first.

Dermatologist can also prescribe you pill antibiotics and for females are birth control pills.  There are steroid injections but not recommended.

The topical products are usually just combination of antibiotic, benzoyl peroxide, BHA and AHA which you can buy from pharmacies. 

What if you just want to skip all these nonsense?

Of course you can.  Just read few thousands of articles, google up every single ingredient name from the ingredient list, 180 degree lifestyle changes, food changes and read up hundreds of reviews of skincare products. Good luck with that.

Before I leave it here, make sure to not buy into those weird natural remedies using lemon and vinegar on your face.

FOOD REVIEW ON 10CENT COFFEE

Hi,

Millennials can't save money because we eat avocado toast and drink USD5 coffee😂

How many of you hear that often?

I don't even know how avocado toast taste like. As for the USD5 coffee, I think I had like less than 10times in my 30years of living.  While the blaming goes on and on , I am here with my RM3(USD0.70) which you can drink 8times.  So the maths came out to USD0.10 coffee.  If you want to be even more cheap then make it two cups so it will just be USD0.05😂 . 

You don't even need a coffee machine and it is not an instant coffee.  However, the coffee we have in Asia is actually robusta which has stronger caffeine.  'S' shop use Arabica so it has milder taste.

I have been drinking this Kluang coffee which comes in resealable zipper bag.  Inside, there are 8 coffee mixture bags.  Place one packet of the coffee bag  into your cup and then pour hot water into it.  Tadaa, coffee without all the trouble of cleaning those coffee machine.  It has 70% coffee beans, sugar and margerine.  I usually drink them with a little sugar.  It is also possible if you want to do cold brew.

To be even more frugal, you can use the leftover for your plant or for beauty.

8 MINIMALISM TIPS IN BEAUTY

Hi beautiful,

Ah, the current trending minimalism😀.   Keep only the things that spark joys.  I don't mean "A bar soap for my face, body, hair and my dishes."

Here are 8 minimalism tips in beauty.

1. You only need 3 to 5 skincare items

Basically, you will need a cleanser, a hydrating toner or moisturizer, a sunscreen and a treatment for your skin problems. Nowadays, there are so many skincare products out there with properties in one product.  There are moisturizer that hydrates my skin and provide acne treatment for my skin at the same time.



2. Limit your hair products to 2 things and one hair tool

Spending 3 hours daily between hair styling, skincare and makeup are really exhausting to me.  Not to mention spending that extra 30minutes choosing what to wear.  Some people do co washing or using hair conditioner and then a shampoo once a week. As for my oily scalp and living in humid weather, I just use two types of shampoo.  I use only one hair tools which is the hair dryer.  It is just tiring to be straightening or curling the hair everyday for me.


3.  Two body products

One good body lotion that doesn't dry out your skin for your body since it is just so troublesome to crowd your bathroom with too many products.  One can also buy those in packet and just reuse the bottle that is already in your bathroom.

4.  Multi task your makeup items

Many buy way more makeup items that their skincare items. It also means you do prioritize covering up the flaw than treating existing skin problems. In real life, having good skin means you only need to just minimal. An eyeshadow palette can serve as blusher, eyebrow pencil, eyeshadows, eyeliner and shading. I use my lip tint as my blusher too. You can use your mascara as waterproof eyeliner. Basically you only need two or three makeup items for a full makeup.

5. 4 pair of quality shoes

None of us have money of Carrie in Sex and the City unless we are some billionaire wife with money to spend on $40,000 Monolo Blahnik. You don’t have to go to extreme of having only one pair of shoes unless you don’t do sports or go out at all. Basically 1 flip flop, 1 working shoe, 1 sport shoe and one fancy special event shoes will do.  You need 4 pairs of shoes and anything more is probably troublesome to maintain.  Don't buy shoes from shops that is already on shelves for more than one year since those spoil quite fast.



6.  8 pair of outdoor Clothes + 8 pairs of clothes indoor

I usually have 7 pairs of clothes for my working days.  The reason is I do need to prepare extra one pair of clothes incase something happened such as accidentally tore my clothes.  8pairs of clothes inside the house will be more than enough if you do your laundry once a week.  You could do the same for your underwear too.  Basically, it won't take up the space of the whole wardrobe and still wonder why "I have nothing to wear" in the morning. Some people can go down to lesser things but I can't since I am a female and  I can't just wear the same two pants for the whole week as how some males do it.


7. Bags/Purse
Purse are the epitome of success for women. Personally I don't care much about branded purse/bags but I know many do.  I find it troublesome to carry bags.  Then,  you can't be carrying everything with your hands.  I find having three bags are more than enough if you are into minimalism.  One bag for working days, one fancy bags for special occassion and another bag for heavy duty things such as carry all those gym clothes and stuff.

8. Recycle or reuse the bottles
Loccitane accept any brands of beauty products for recycling.  With some stamps you will get travel size Loccitane items which is really great.  Innisfree accept their brands products and you will get some sort of discount for it.  HM also does give discount on clothing items that you recycle with them.


Thank you for reading😁. Minimalism doesn't mean devoid you of happiness in life or force yourselves to be happy with horrible skin just to save up that few dollars but losing the ability to look professional for a certain job position.

Scent and texture: It doesn't really have any scent in it. The closest I could describe is it has the very faint scent of plastic which isn't bad or something since the scent does not last more than few seconds on my face.  The  ampoule has watery texture with viscosity which does take a few seconds to absorbs into skin without leaving any stickiness. It works great under makeup and doesn't cause piling.

REVIEW ON NONGSHIM SHIN RAMYUN NOODLE SOUP

Hi foodie,

My first experience with Korean culture is actually with their Nongshim instant noodles which after that lead me into more of their food and Kbeauty.

Still after many years, Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodle soup is still one of my favourite noodles.

The company Nongshim is a food and beverage company that lead Korean culinary culture since 1965.

Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodle soup

Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodle soup

Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodle soup

Packaging:  The packet does have ingredients list and instruction in English.  There is the powder and the other is the mix dehydrated vegetables.  The noodles come in round shape which is how they look since 10 years ago.  Cooking them is actually easy and straightforward.  The word spicy is probably the moderate spiciness which is just right for me.  It is not too spicy but if you are the type that can only handle spiciness of potato then this is probably going to burn you.


Review:   I do like the taste of the soup and the tangy scent of kimchi.  The noodles are just soft springy which is delicious.  The portion is okay if you are not a big eater.  If you do want something more do add a slice of instant cheese which is how Korean mostly eat their instant noodles.

Overall, Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodle soup is pretty good after years of them.  I just wish the taste is a little bit more savoury though.

I'm From Mugwort Spot Gel

Description ;
The I’M FROM Mugwort Spot Gel is a spot treatment that contains the power of 90% pure Mugwort extract directly from the soil of Ganghwa, Korea to soothe and calm inflamed skin. This spot gel quickly absorbs into problem areas to maintain sebum production, and soothe the complexion. The fresh finish leaves the skin feeling thoroughly cared for, without the discomfort of a sticky, oily residue. Apply to irritated skin and feel it being transformed to clear, smooth and healthy skin.

I'm From Mugwort Spot gel comes in a nice box with the tube comes with a nice dropper head which is pretty convenient.

Ingredients:
Mugwort Extract, Denatured Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Purified Water, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Odorata Extract, Cordyceps Mushroom Extract, Potassium Hydroxide

It is paraben free, sulfate free, silicone free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free. one fungal acne triggered  PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil


As for the ingredients, the first ingredient is 90% mugwort. It does have one fungal acne triggered so do test it first.  As for me, it doesn't cause more fungal acne or treat my fungal acne.  The ingredients are pretty interesting given that it has a lot of mugwort extract and BHA in it.

Ulmus Davidiana and evening primrose as skin moisturiser
Kudzu helps stimulate the synthesis of skin structure elements. It also helps redensify the skin and reduce wrinkles
Pine is use for masking the scent since without it, the product can be too vile to most of us.
Potassium Hydroxide is use as pH adjuster.

I don't mind the alcohol in it since it has 90% mugwort and alcohol based acne spot treatment works for my skin type.


Scent and texture: gel transparent texture.  It does have the scent of alcohol.  It doesn't pile and does absorbed into the skin without any stickiness.


Review:   After using it for about 2 weeks, I find it works on moderate acne.  It does reduce the oiliness on the skin, treat acne severity with BHA and mugwort, reduce redness and promotes healing.  I find that it works similar to benzoyl peroxide but less irritating.  Then again, do not apply on broken red patch or it sting a lot.  I tried it on this one pimple that I picked so it hurts.


Overall, I'm From Mugwort Spot gel is for combination or oily skin type that works best with alcohol based treatment or for those in hot environment or during summer.  You do need to use it very little and apply thinly.

REVIEW ON OERBEUA CLEARING MASK

Hi beautiful,

Here is a review on a Korean sheet mask, Oerbeua Clearing Mask for purifying pores.  This is a brand from the Dr. Gloderm.

There are 6 kinds of OERBEUA One-step Facial Mask with different skin concern.


Painting on Oerbeua Clearing Mask
- Pierre-Auguste Renoir / Dance At Bougival / 1882 / Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, USA
A couple is dancing outdoors. The man is looking into the woman’s face, while the woman is looking away as if embarrassed.

Function
Pore Purifying, Clearing

Ingredients:
Purified water, glycerin, dipropylene glycol.  1.2-Dioxane diol, broccoli extract, betaine, butylene glycol, xanthan gum, panthenol, hydroxyethyl acrylate / sodium acryloyl dimethyl taurate co-dimmer fragrance



Packaging: The packaging is nice with Pierre-Auguste Renoir / Dance At Bougival / 1882.  It doesn't have ingredient list written in English so you probably need to use an apps to translate it.
The sheet mask materials from cotton with medium thickness.  It is not the silky type but not hard paper that tore easily.  The size of the sheet mask is average.  It is probably just the right size for a small Asian face and does have slits to adjust the sheet mask.


Ingredients:  The ingredients is okay with the usual sheet mask ingredients.  This has brocolli extract which helps with brightening and calming.  The other ingredients are for hydration which is alright with sheet mask.

Scent and texture: The scent is pretty light and doesn't linger.  There are a lot clear watery liquid which is enough for a second time sheet mask.

Review:  I use the sheet mask for about 20minutes before it starts drying up fast.  It does provide hydration and calm slight redness I have.  It doesn't irritate my skin but it is not really amazing but with the very low price of sheet mask I do think it is good for those that just want daily sheet masks or something to use before makeup.


Overall, Oerbeua Clearing Mask is a daily sheet mask affordable sheet mask for hydration or just before makeup.

REAL LIFE STORY OF A HAUNTED ROAD IN MALAYSIA

Hi,

A place more famous that the E8 express highway?

Today is just a story about a haunted road that I mentioned in one of the videos I had posted. Feel free to just switch to listening mode since I am just going to use whatever photos as fillers. I am sorry since I couldn’t actually take photo of that place. I had tried but I couldn’t.

So, let move to the story about this haunted road. It is not the famous E8 express highway most known as the Karak highway which I did use as well. That is also a story save for another time. If interested do let me know.

Anyway, this part of road I am going to talk is actually famous with the locals for being spooky.
The road cut through a famous national forest. Many that went for a trip to this national forest saw things such as flying fireball and spirits. Some parts of that road do not even have phone coverage.  On the way, you will pass by graveyards and also some abandoned buildings.

The road takes about 3hours drive. Accidents happen every week in the same spot. It is common to see 6 cars got involved in the accident and each time it involves live taken. So, many road sign were placed but accidents still happen.

Contrary to what people think, that particular spot is actually wide compared to the entire journey. It is hilly as well as winding so it does feel being in a roller coaster except that this is real life and you are in a vehicle controlled by human beings.

Even regulars got involved in accidents.  It is not just spooky after the sunset but also whenever it rains, the road will become very slippery. Now you get to be the main character on Tokyo drift with no Superman' strength and eyesight.


If that is not enough, the second danger of the illusion of the road turning to the left will have you drive straight into the huge ditch.
Drive carefully and only during day time? Not buy into in illusion because you have some ghostbuster protection?

Now, try meeting 3rd obstacles-the wild animals. Yes, monkey doing suicide mode by walking backwards so that you will knock it but if you don't you go into the ditch. Oh, you managed to stop in time? Hopefully the car on the opposite lane  does not go into your road or the car behind you stop in time.

Some people said there was a loud bang on their car but when they got down there was nothing.  I will never get down if it was me.  You don't want to be face to face with something supernatural.

So, don't drive alone, never when it rains and never alone.  Bring a holybook with you and also switch on safety mantra when you are on this road.
