Hey guys .. its been long time .. I was not able to post often .. These boards are horrifying and more , if You are a science student !!
Let me share my story today
I have been plagued by acne ever since I stepped My puberty .. No matter how hard I try , How right I ate .. They never vanished
I hated my pimples .
Then my quest for ideal regime started .
I wanted these pimples to die .. FAST !!
I so Hate my 2 months before face . Things were aggravated due to my allergy to mushrooms . I had unknowingly ate it thrice .. my face swelled , my eyes were nowhere to be seen and the red bumps covered my whole face.
It took me 2 weeks to get over :(
But Now I have fairly clear skin and it feels lucky to be blessed with clean face for once :D
Off track , But these are certain things which proved to be a blessing for me
Skin care
- Cetaphil cleansing milk
- Lush colaface ( Yes. Its still with me :))
- Mint and teatree toner
- Fab India moisturiser + lacto calamine ( Yes , I do have oily skin but I also need moisture to protect against dry winter winds)
- Tanveer's homemade LUSH angels on bare skin
- Himalaya Neem face pack(pain to wash off)
- Tea tree Oil
- Rice scrub + calamine ( makes excellent scrub .. use weekly)
Make up wise em loving
- Ponds tinted moisturizer 02
- Oriflame tea tree cover stick ( green colored concealer to Hide redness)
- Colorbar blush in Just Earth
- Revlon lippie(forgot the name) topped with clear gloss
- Colorbar Iglide pencil in Black ( I dunt rem the name , correct me if em wrong)
Some Important Points
- Just keep in mind to not to aggravate RED Pimples .
- Use mild cleansers like CETAPHIL
- DONT treat RED puss oozing pimples . They are better kept alone
- Tea tree works wonder for me . While salicylic acid dont help much and benzoyl peroxide results in Rashes on my skin
- Dont touch Your face too much
- Use sanatizer of applying make up with bare hands(Himalaya hand sanatizer)
- Dont wash face more than twice a day
- If oiliness is a problem . Use blotting sheets and use mattifying gel on T zone ( I love Ponds oil control concentrate)
Keep this in Mind and Be positive .
If everythin fails , Then remember life is too short to be wasted worrying about a PIMPLE !!
There are more important things in life , Like SHOES !!
2 months before Post 2 Months
That's a huge difference, Palak. And I am sure it's going to help a lot of people. The Himalaya sanitizer is a boon for me as well. It's so amazing. I am going to review it soon.
ReplyDeleteBtw the name of colorbar's I define pencil is Midnight Black. Colorbar- ask me! :P
I was not liking the just earth blush before but these days I see myself wearing it most of the time. :D Lovely! :)
And I wear similar specs just that mine are full frames.:)
yeah , I do have the I define pencil but the pecil I am talkin about is the latest launch from colorbar "I gide on pencil" .Its very creamy and sets after a minute and I think its great for extended wear and soft smokey looks !!
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a difference girly! Kudos! Hope yr exams are going well...or r they over? I'd like to try Cetaphil cleansing milk
