All about Beauty

I consider myself pretty lucky during my teenage years. I don’t have any skin problem, except freckles, due to over exposed in the sun and I didn’t use sunblock until it’s too late. That’s why I have to go for IPL once in a while to reduce my spots, even if it’s not 100% effective because I don’t do it as frequent as required.

While I’m there at the skin clinic, I’ve always come across a lot of teenagers who come for acne light treatment or acne light therapy. Some of them are there by themselves, and others are accompanied by parents and friends. I am quite envy with those who are there with their parents. During our time, our parents can’t be bothered about our skin. So, I’m going to get my kids any necessary help if needed by the time they are teenagers. I don’t mind paying for acne removal system and skincare products to ensure that they will have good skin.

But most importantly, I must tell them to start using sunblock young!

My gal is whining to go swimming now but it’s so hot and sunny! She will regret this if she has freckles and spots next time. She loves the sun, just like I did last time, but now I have a lot of spots on my face! That’s why I’m trying to take good care of my kids’ skin.

Maybe I should check out those youthology reviews, I need more tips to stay youthful.

I love chillies. In fact, I’m pretty good at eating spicy food, as long as it won’t give me a tummy ache later. Once in awhile, someone might ask if chillies ever cause me ache, the answer is no. I don’t have ache, or any serious outbreak all my life. But I do have pimples occasionally, probably due to stress mostly.

So, for those of you who are going for natural acne treatment, I can’t tell you if you should skip spicy food. Some said it does agitate an outbreak, but it didn’t happen to me.

My SIL is 40 this year, but she has never looked better than this. I feel that she graces and becomes more attractive as she ages, and she agrees to that too. She may have gained some weight, but she is not too anxious about it, nor she keeps worrying about how to lose it fast by trying all the methods mentioned in weight loss success stories. I think the main ingredient in his attractiveness is CONFIDENCE.

With a successful career and wonder family, she is enjoying her life more and she is happy and contented. So, maybe that’s another good tip of being beautiful? Just be confident and feel good about yourself.

 I’m one of those who can’t live without eye cream. If there is any best eye cream available in the market, I will surely be checking it out! But recently, I’m out of the sample size of eye cream. Furthermore, most brands do not provide sample sized eye cream, so I’m too lazy to pack my normal size Re-Nutriv.

So, I “survived” a few days without eye cream, and it’s not that bad. LOL! I was worried about dryness and fine lines, but I was having a vacation, so I can’t care much.

But right now, I better put on eye masks. I really need to take good care of my problematic eye area!

My 3-year-old girl is as vain as me, and she likes to imitate me by pretending that she puts on face cream and makeup when I’m doing that in the morning and at night. She has always been asking me to buy her some cosmetics so that she can put them on her face. LOL! She had makeup on once, when she went for photo shooting, but after that, I try my best not to let her have any dressing up because I think that she’s too young for makeup.

Here’s a short article I found online, while searching for related info.

Dressing up can be fun, but it shouldn’t pose risks. Many children like to wear cosmetics or nail polish. Make sure they’re using safer products, and applying them appropriately, sparingly, and infrequently.

Avoid these products:

* Lipstick – can contain harmful impurities that children swallow in small amounts
* Nail polish containing dibutyl phthalate and toluene – Linked to hormone disruption and cancer
* Cosmetics in powder form – Children can inhale these powders, damaging their lungs
* Fragrance – Allergens that may contain neurotoxic or hormone-disrupting chemicals

So, I guess it’s alright to use makeup on children, only when needed, such as during a concert or photo shooting but not as they pleased. I shall keep on convincing my gal that she doesn’t need makeup as she’s pretty in my eyes.

Oh well, kids grow up very fast, and before I know it, she might be buying her own makeup, skincare and maybe diet pills behind my back!

 I really like Revital Lotion EX II and Revital Moisturizer EX II by Shiseido. I’ve tried a few range of products by Shiseido and as I age, I tend to go for more expensive range by Shiseido.

But to see significant result, it’s best to use Revital Lotion and Revital Moisturizer with facial cotton. I learned the tip from Nuer, just wet a facial cotton with the lotion (or softener) and pad or wipe it over your face. Then you may apply serum or essense, like your normal routine. But when you are applying your moisturizer, pour it on the same facial cotton again and wipe it over your face. I try to stroke it upwards to “lift” up my face, and if you really do it correctly on one side, you can really see some difference. I won’t say that my face is totally distorted, but I do see some lifting effect.

Don’t worry that you might waste a lot of skincare products, if you use facial cotton. I guess I emphasize more on effectiveness of the products, instead of cost here. I might buy less women’s shoes if I finish the set in a month, but my face will thank me for it.

Momokoko recommended Fancl HTC Collagen Drink, and even if I would like to give it a try, I can’t get it here unless I go to some Central malls in Bangkok city. So, I thought I can just get H2O Collagen 8000 drink but it’s not available at H2O counter at Future Park.

 So, what do to? I’ll have to settle with other sources of collagen drink and thus I bought the Beauti Shot collagen fiber drink by Sappe.

I’ve tried a few bottles and so far, I can’t see any difference yet, but I’m willing to try for a little longer. Hopefully it works for my skin.

I hate to admit it but I have a pimple on my cheek and it’s totally annoying. It’s been there for a while, but it’s painless, and I’m not sure if it has pus in it. I seldom have pimple, so I’m clueless about how to remove a squeeze a pimple. On top of that, my beautician will do it for me if she sees any, but she’s so far away from me now!!!

I still don’t have time to visit any salon and besides that, I’m not sure which one is good. I really don’t want to have any scar on my face later if the beautician squeezes it too hard!!! My affordable life insurance doesn’t cover a hole on my face ok?

But still, I Google around and found some tips on how to squeeze a pimple properly. Let me think about this first, if I really cannot stand the look of it, I will do it myself.

I think I don’t mind storing up my own stem cell if I can afford to do so one day. It is pretty costly, but if the cells can be used for future health therapies or cosmeceutical treatments, I might have to give it a try. Nonetheless, I will find out more about the successful rate of stem cells being used in cosmeceutical fields first before making up my mind. I’ve read C’elle Client Testimonial but it seems like the link to CNNmoney.com is not working on this topic, so I might want to search for more later on.

Frankly, all those expensive skincare products can make wonder to our skin, but if we yearn for faster and more significant results, I guess laser or cosmeceutical treatments might be a better option. Maybe I should go to YanHee hospital again and find out more about their treatments and try out those which are painless!
