Skin Tips

Assalamualaikum. For the first anonymous, thank you so much but i'm sorry i can't do the tutorial sebab bukan i yang make-up sendiri. The make-up was done by a make-up artist, abang lan, check out his instagram here http://instagram.com/rozlanassir

And this was in 2011, you can see that i have many scars on my arm. I had that annoying ugly star like scars ALL OVER MY BODY. My skin is very sensitive. Cepat terbakar and i am also allergy to insect bites and seafoods. Alhamdulillah, those scars are now barely visible.  I did a lot of things to fix my skin. So here are some of the things that i did.

SUN BLOCK

Wear sunblock if you're going to the beach, or going out lah, at places that you would be exposed to the sun. We live in Malaysia kan, negara yang panas. Kulit i dah lah cepat terbakar, a day at the beach pun dah buat i terbakar sangat. Banana boat sunblock and sunplay sunblock are the only two sunblocks that i had ever tried before. Banana boat tu agak pekat, a bit sticky but it protects my skin really gooood. Sunplay sunblock i pernah guna sekali sahaja, yang ini sangat cair. SPF, choose the one that suits your needs. I would usually apply it on the skin that is exposed, including the face. Dekat watson or pharmacy ada jual.

TIA AMELIA

Sampai sekarang i guna tia amelia. Tia amelia ini i guna untuk jaga kulit muka. Tapi i tak guna semua, i cuma guna sabun, pemutih, kunyit and toner. Pemutih really works for me, makes my face brighter. For me, kulit muka lagi cepat terbakar dari badan i. Dulu tangan i lagi putih dari muka :(. Pemutih really really helps lah to get rid of the uneven sun tanned. Kunyit pula untuk i nak hilangkan jerawat or parut parut jerawat dekat muka. Dekat kedai cosmetik biasa ada jual.

AURA WHITE

Yes i pernah cuba aura white sebelum ni. I cuba dalam dua or tiga bekas only, dah lama dah stop. I stop sebab i tukar ke CellLabs and i malas nak beli online. Hihi. Makes my skin a bit brighter. Dulu i beli dengan housemate i. Ramai yang jual online tapi tak silap i sekarang dah ada jual dah dekat kedai. This thing is getting more popular now. It taste yummy, macam air berry. :P

CELL LABS

CellLabs is really really really really good. Can be found at any Cosway Pharmacy. I bought it at Cosway Pharmacy, Bukit Jelutong. Consume one pill per day, it works really good for me. Banyak juga lah parut i makin hilang. Tapi i dah stop guna. Dalam 3 months juga lah i ambil celllabs. Papa yang suggest benda ni dekat i and kakak i. Bila i calculate, one pill ada lah dalam rm5. I kesian pula nak minta dengan papa lagi. Since that parut pun dah tak visible, i stop. Tunggu kerja nanti lah i beli balik. Would definitely buy this again.

BAKING SODA

Baking soda? Wait, what? Yes yes, i pernah baca dekat article yang baking soda macam kikis kulit. I was really desperate to make all my scars fade away. So i pernah guna dekat kulit i. Dekat muka i tak apply sebab risau jadi apa apa. Pedih juga lah, kulit masa tu macam fragile sangat. Baking soda tau, not baking powder. I tak suggest this one, because ada yang cakap tak elok and bahaya untuk kulit. Masa tu i desperate, so... hihi.

COCOA BUTTER LOTION

I sentiasa pakai lotion sekarang. But when i choose a lotion, i would go for a cocoa butter one. Palmer's and vaseline are my top two favourite. Read about it's benefits here: http://skincare.about.com/od/spa/a/Benefits-Of-Cocoa-Butter-To-Your-Skin.htm hehe i malas nak cerita balik.

TEA

Okay everyone knows that tea brings a lot of benefits kan. But jangan lah minum tea with too much sugar or milk in it. I suka teh kosong, pahit or tawar but really hot tea. Fuhhh shedapnyew. I prefer green tea lagi actually because i love the taste of it. After dah guna tea, jangan buang, simpan to apply it on your skin. Ini opah i yang ajar. Dia suruh guna dekat kulit. So i apply dekat kulit muka dan badan. Rasa macam scrub juga lah. Read more about the benefit of tea here: http://www.teamuse.com/article_020701.html or perhaps just google it. You can find a lot of useful information.

WATER

Drink a lot of water. Dulu i jarang sangat minum air kosong. I banyak minum air manis and soda instead. Air kosong tak pernah habis satu cawan pun dulu. But now, i dah train diri i untuk minum at least 2 litres of water a day. Water is my best friend now. I dah kurang sangat minum air manis apa tah lagi soda. Its good for your health. For skin, i'm not sure but for sure it keeps my body hydrated. Mestilah kalau minum banyak air kosong dari air manis lagi better untuk beauty juga kan?

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Fruits and vegetables brings a lot of benefit. I ni suka mengunyah, so i banyak makan sayur bila i rasa lapar. You can google what type of fruits and vegetables that are good for your skin. Like this one: http://health.india.com/beauty/10-fruits-and-vegetables-that-can-give-you-glowing-skin/ I consume a lot of carrots, tomatores and spinach now. I eat vegetables to for my diet and also for my skin.

LESS OILY FOODS PLEASE

Homaigod kenapa lah i pergi upload gambar ni sedapnyaaaaaaa :"((. Okay okay stop, ya know oily foods ain't doin' no good to yo body ma girl. I pernah kena acne attack dan pergi buat facial treatment for my acne. Orang itu cakap, jangan makan banyak oily foods. I used to loooove to eat chips, nuggets, sausages dan anak beranak dia lah. But now, i can't even remember when was the last time i ever had any of those. My skin is really gedik dan over-reacted pula dengan oily foods ni. So i need to slow down on these food and eat more healthy foods.

Other tips for skin that you can google about:
AVOCADO
COFFEE GROUNDS
APPLE CIDER
 Sorry i tak reti nak explain sebab ada yang i tak pernah try, sekali try and baru nak try.
Awak cuba lah try test. :D

This is me now (last on the left). Scars on my arm are not that visible anymore (dulu penuh, serious *sobs*). Fair skin? I'm not sure about that, not really that fair but better than before. Sebelum ini kulit i kusam dan terbakar, dengan tidak dijaganya. Sekarang i masih cuba untuk improve kulit. It really doesn't matter what colour your skin is. Tanned skin is sexy whattt. But it is important to have a healthy skin. Hitam manis dan kulit terbakar is a completely different thing.

Arrivederci~
