Skin care

The Olay moisturizing cream is going to finish in a few days. I thought of buying a new one or the lotion version. Yet , I thought of buying the  Olay Total Effects , Safi or the new Hada Labo Retinol range .  So many choices , tomorrow I think I will go with my husband to Tesco or maybe to the Guardian pharmacy down the road.  On the other hand , I do not want to mix and change creams too often. I might invite some more zits.

My skin looks better, if I may say so  ,the Temulawak cream does a wonderful job .I find  that my pimple scars  are slowly dissapearing. I use this  cream from 4  pm to 7 pm daily. After that I use  Pond's cold cream to take it off .Today my nose is getting red , I think there will be  another pimple  soon  , so I slather the Oxy 10 on my nose. This week I  watched mostly  skincare videos on  the You Tube again. My niece likes to watch Michelle Phan  . I found one video on Oxy , though. It is about a person's experience on acne using Cetaphil cleanser and Oxy. If you are  interested here is the link :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAv8-6hkYko

I also looked for some  recipes . That reminds me to buy a muffin pan. I have to have one of those because I can make either a savoury muffin or a sweet one. I love to find recipes it seems, for a mini savoury quiche. I am forever staring at these quiches online.   I also would like to make a scone. It looks easy , one person is making it with lemonade.

A week of no pimple

My pimple is gone . Hurray !!!  Now , I do not have any more pesky ones cropping out.  I use   the Oxy Acne wash and the powder lotion  twice  a day , every day , for the past week  . So far my blemish is less. Last two nights I put some  lemon juice on my face and leave it overnight . I saw one video at the You tube.  I can use the juice of  half of a lemon  for two nights. My face looks fairer.I always go back to lemons , eggs and honey. I think I will stick with Oxy products for now.

My cat Jingga sleeps under the my parents bed after his early morning meal about 5 or 6 am. Then I will take him out  again and give him another meal. The doctor gave me two large plastic  droppers to use. I did not use until his mouth got smelly . I used the dropper and slowly the smell dissapeared. Jingga  does not go out so often nowadays. He sleeps and primps  all day long. Koko and Kiki is getting fat.

Oxy Acne Wash and Oxy Powder Lotion

I bought an  Oxy Acne wash and the powder lotion today. I have another pimple and  I decided to buy other products from Oxy. Both products cost about RM 25.00.  I used the face  wash as it said it could could kill the acne bacteria . The powder lotion is cooling on the face. My husband is not happy when I buy these products saying that I will spend more if there is anything wrong with my face. Pimples, uneven skin, the lot. He says my face is fine. I have an Avon eye liner , which my mother bought the other day. . I have been using it for some nights. It is really smooth and black.

I am still using the temulawak cream, my pigmentation is getting lighter  but not dissapearing . I was thinking of buying the Hada Labo Arbutin range , I saw  the lifting and firming cream in red box the other day. Incidentally , Hada Labo is also a range  from Mentholatum. Another idea is to use Beautee ampoules  and  their range of masks. Perhaps later .

Oxy 10 from Mentholatum

I had  two stubborn pimples which I thought were warts. I used the Oxy 10 from Mentholatum  , which has maximum benzoyl peroxide. It worked  very well  , my pimples are almost gone. I have used honey , turmeric and other stuff but the pimples won't budged. Perhaps I should concentrate on the pharmacy skin care products. I don't know . My  mother is up and away. She is driving to the mosque these few days .

My cat , Jingga's mouth has dried up and he is not salivating anymore . I am thankful for that. He lost weight and now I am trying to fatten him up. During all  the time, he could not eat. He stays in the house most of the time.

Citra Lestari rice milk soap

I have been using Citra Lestari rice milk soap for awhile. The pigmentation on my left and right outer cheek has lessen. However I have some pimple thing creeping on my face. I have used apple cider . Perhaps it is because , I have been putting different creams on my face.The temulawak cream is okay. I use it for foundation.   So, not to make things worsen , I think I will stop using this soap for awhile until the pimple or warts lessen but it does lighten my pigmentation. My face is fairer.

My parents and I went to the Veterinar Hospital in Serdang. We went twice the first day , but got lost. My cat Jingga is not well. There were many conflicting suggestions from other vets so I wanted to hear other doctor's opinion. He does not have to go through another surgery or get his tooth out. This doctor said that it's the a matter of  good maintenance   . I felt  so  relieved

Kosmetika Indonesia

I went to Mydin at Jalan Masjid India on Monday  to buy some stuff. I bought Jamu from Mustika Ratu, the one for women and beauty , and Ayu Singset Jamu for the face and fitness. Then the Temulawak Vitamin C , night cream, Temulawak face wash and toner and Sari Ayu pimple mask.  Now I have many creams  , I do not know which one to use. I wanted to find  a Jamu for pimples but it was not available. The Rojer one from Puteri Binary that is  , I found one at a kiosk nearby  . A small packet.

Then I went to KLCC . I thought of eating alone but I was lazy to do so. I think I have warts on my face. I asked  two pharmacists at different places but they said that  I have to see a doctor. I have used apple cider on my face and put a band aid on it  .It worked but it left a scar. I have another one  right now , on the side of my nose. I have used honey and then clear nail polish.

At KLCC , I went to Harrods to gaze around and look for Cafe Vienna.   I also looked at  the Maybelline Two In One silky face powder .It was on sale for RM 23 ++ . It is used after you use their BB cream .  Yesterday I bought the face powder.  I tried the temulawak cream with the face powder ,it works well but perhaps I need to use a concealer.

Next on my list , is a nice eye liner from Japan at Watson's. For the egyptian look . It looks good. Yesterday Nas and her children came , they are off to Dubai . Last week when Sadd is here , we had nice dinner from D'Tandoor and then  at Silver Pot , the Chinese Muslim steam boat restaurant in Taman Tun.

Temulawak Pearl Nutrition Cream

I have always passed this cream whenever I go to a  Mydin store. So one of  these days I was searching for a cream  to eradicate pimple marks or scars. I am using Fair & Lovely Anti Marks cream , not that this cream is not good but  well why not try  some other  cream. At first I bought a temulawak cream near  the apartment  but it is not the same one. There area many products from this range including cosmetics.

I wanted the one with dark green casing. Temulawak  or Curcuma xanthorrhiza L is wild ginger. It is found in many herbal jamu from Indonesia. This particular cream is from Indonesia. I am no stranger to Indonesia skin care products. I have read many good  reviews about this product . The first product is not the same , so I bought one from a website called Kedai herba .com. The price is RM 5.90 with shipping it is RM 11.90. There are other websites selling this product but you can also  find it at any Jamu shop. Make sure it is the original one  many readers said. The next  night  my sister  Nas  and her children came . Then as always my parents went to Best Western for the night . I tagged along . We had a nice buffet dinner at Zende . Courtesy of Yati he he he . After that we went to The Mall  across the road . I bought another Temulawak cream for RM 5 .00 at a Jamu store at the lower ground with a  Mustika Ratu  Jamu for women.  I have been using the cream for two nights . It is pale yellow in colour and it will take a long time to finish.
