Bedak sejuk Petani

 It has been awhile since I have used these tiny rice droplets. At first I use it with rosewater . Sometimes I would use it with tumeric powder. I have also tried  using it with cinammon powder , but it stung  and my face got red one morning. I  have not used this traditional powder with lime juice. Since I have dents on my face , I decided to use something natural on my face  . There are many types of cold powder , the liquid one, the ones made of rice and another  made of  clay . The ones made with clay are used by women in the East Coast of  peninsular Malaysia.I have not used  that type before but now it is sold on line. I used the cold powder twice a week.   You need to use this powder for quite sometime to see the results. I like this brand of cold powder. I used about 5 to 7 droplets with water .

The price of this cold or cool powder is RM 5.00.

Biossentials Patchouli essential oil

I used to buy these essential oils  at the British India shop in One Utama  . They have a stand for the products. Last year I went to the British India shop in One Utama to find their products but the products were   not available. 

This year I found their products again at a salon next to SASA store at the IPC shopping centre   in  Mutiara Damansara. I was very happy to find these essential oils. Like meeting a long lost friend.
I chose patchouli essential  because of it's regenerative properties. It is also good for acne. The oil is also an  aphrodisiac and an antidepressant .  I have made a face oil with the Dogaci sweet  almond oil and the patchouli essential oil. I have used this concoction for two months. The dents are still visible. I have to do something about the dents. I think I will buy one or two more essential oils.Or maybe take some supplements. The price of  the Patchouli oil is RM 50.00.

Dogaci Almond oil

I have used almond oil  to make my own  face oil in the past. I stopped using almond oil because it was difficult for me to find the oil at a reasonable price. Nowadays it is easier to find carrier oil from online shops such as Natta Cosme and Lemongreen2u to name a few. Not forgetting that  one can also order from Iherb. Sweet almond oil has always been used to make creams and it is rich with vitamin E and A. I bought the Dogaci Almond oil at a shop named Eridani at the Mujahiddin mosque in Damansara Utama. Dogaci is a brand from Turkey. Other oils available from this brand are  nigella , apricot  and grapeseed .

I used the oil mostly  at night. I feel that my skin has improved. The dent on my skin is still there . The almond oil I bought is in a 50 ml glass bottle. Sometimes I would just slather the oil  on my face. As for breakouts, I still have one or two pimples a month.  If I were to use 4 to 5 drops of the oil  ,  the 50 ml almond oil would last a few months.  I cannot use almond oil around my eyes. My eyes would get puffy and the lines would be thick . The price of almond oil is RM 22.00
