Skincare Products, Help!

For the past few weeks, I have been noticing that my skin complexion has deteriorated exponentially and today it finally drove me up the wall when the mom kept repeating that fact to me, and when an old friend I met up with too commented that my skin was much better a few months back.

The problem I am facing is unlike what most teenagers are facing, in the sense that I don’t really have much pimples or acne. My skin is more likely to have white/black heads mushroom-ing all over and recently, angry red dots have been popping up everywhere. (And on another irritating note, I keep getting ulcers too!)

I have not changed my eating habits, nor have I changed the brand of soap that I use to wash my face. Therefore, I am really getting concerned as to how I can correct this situation pronto. Today, my skin has been itching like crazy and I JUST CANNOT STOP MYSELF FROM SCRATCHING. *Roar!*

Sigh. Anyone has any recommendations as to what products to use, or any tips in getting my skin back to tip top condition? It really is driving me crazy, I tell you. But as for now,

*Tehehe*
(Ya I know my photoshop-ing skills suck, but it’s better then nothing hahaha!)

Two rules Faddy to follow…

1) Drink plenty of plain water
2) Have enough sleep

It is as simple as that babe! Go, try it OUT! :)

HAARRR… pakai aku nyer Jepun face wash! But I’m heeding my tutee’s maid’s advice now: Sebelum tido, cuci muka ngan air suam. Lepas tu lap ngan tuala bersih. Dah tu je.

IT WORKS FREAKING HELL MAN! Simple yet effective. I know my skin’s not flawless but it’s improving. :)

this might sound ridiculous but i think perhaps your skin is acting up due to increased hormonal activity…lol. before i met aidil i had a near perfect complexion. but now that im madly in love, my skin is breaking out like there’s no tmr! help! i use masks & scrubs, sleep like a pig, drink so much water i cld internally drown, i eat fruits/ vege and i take vitamins BUT my skin is still being so temperamental.
sikit2 break out! aaarghhhhhh ~

Hi Faddy,

Hormonal imbalance can only be remedied by a visit to the doctors. You might want to see a skin specialist before it gets worse. There’s only a limit that we can do with skin products because thats the outermost layer of our skin - the innermost usually gets ignored.

You might want to take a look at this entry - I used to have extremely bad acne. I still have zits now, but its not as bad as before. And hopefully it stays that way.

Uwaaaa doctors? MAN. those cost a bomb, right? my cousin spent around 1k at the skin centre you know. jialat :(
As for your skin, OMG SO DIFFERENT. Hopefully it stays that way yeah :) And you have so much courage in posting the pic up lah! *salutes*

Salaams Luv

I need you to first you need plenty of rest, adequate meals and water…Try air suam first and then as Marina says go to a Doctor to check it out…

Fruits help too.

i can recommend good and cheap skin care… but i dont know whether it works for u… if you are keen, then i let u know… but if you dont want to change your skincare and your facial wash, then its ok. you cant depend on skincare alone. did you use a lot of makeup lately???

Comment by faddy
2007-08-28 12:03:50

hahaha ok let me try the water, fruits and sleep recommendation first. if doesnt work, i’ll get back to you. makeup? HAHA. heloooo its faddy, the girl who DOESNT wear make up! kekeke!

faddddddddddy!
take it from someone who’s beeen through HELLL!!!

1) DOn’t EVER use neutrogenaa!
2) Try the jamu first. It may work for mild cases like yours
3) Masks may help.
4) You know traditional skincare things likeee those you find at kedai2 melayuuu, those can work wonders! Dont’ be deceived by the cheap prices!

5) if all else fails , the doctor it shall be.

Precaution is better than cure!

SERIOUSLY!!
DO YOU FEEEEEL ME ( the agony!)

1) why not? i thought people always recommend this brand?
2) It tastes horrible tak?
3) Yeap, bought one already HEHEHE.
4) HAHAHA. dah lah mak aku sendiri jual jamu -.-”
5) Doctor expensive. super last resort la this one. ehehhe…

I FEEL YOU BABEEEE *hugs*

Drink lotsa water. hahaha. i drink lotsa water like 2-4 litres everyday. but im like a camal. abnormal is you ask me. hahaha. & i mean plain water. it does wonders to your skin you’ll see the diff when u get older (: have enough sleep to avoid eyebags. anyways, i clean my face twice everyday. so yeahh. don’t use such thick makeup but if you do better wash it throughly. alhamdulilah my face is pimple & oil free. not that 100% clean but ok la. haha. i guess good genes plays a part too hahahaha (: tc sweets (: your face is not at all bad (:

Hello Kinah! Haha, yup, drinking lotsa water seems to be the rule across the board. As for eyebags, uwaaa susah lah want to get enough sleep. 6hrs is enough per day kan? Makeup i dont wear, so thats not a problem i guess :) Genes, i’m thankful i follow my mom’s side. My dad’s side seem to have more people with pimples :P Thanks ya grrl!

Hello.. dah lama tak singgah.. sorry for late comment.. anyway, i used to have pimples like nobody business.. i was so depressed la.. then i tried proactive.. it is xpensive..but it stops pimple from appearing.. now my face is clear of pimples ..the only problem i haves is pores.. cos i always skip toner.. if u dont use toner after u wash your face,pores will open up big big..

for your ulcers, well, i had ulcers like more than 5 before.. and i always get ulcers.. but i went to doctor and he gave me a paste that taste like sand and seawater.. it helps.. now, alhamdullilah, no ulcers.. I drink plenty of water but like u, i keep going to the toilet..wakakakaka..

hello babe! Don’t apologize la, it’s not wajib for you to comment, and I am thankful every time someone does comment (late or not), so thank you :)
Oooh I didn’t know toner closes your pores. Patutlah my mother bising. Sometimes it’s so leceh, to apply so many creams after face wash! Cuz after face wash, my face feels so smooth so I assume everything is done up hurhruhur :P

resveratrol…

Here is a neat little device I think might be useful in a variety of spaces. It can be used not only for performance support like Elliott Masie is researching, but also for special interest areas. It seems to be able to do a variety of things from play…
