Ginvera Nutri White Marvel Gel

I thought of the Ginvera Marvel Gel as I was looking for a new product  to try. This Marvel Gel has been around since 1991 . I have used this gel a long time ago. This product is a gel type exfoliator . I have been using it for nearly two weeks in the morning. I like to see the dead  skin being scrubbed off  . It is gentle to use.  I bought  the gel for RM 19.95 at Tesco , there is another  one with green tea  which costs RM 29.95 .  My nose looks clearer , it was bumpy for many weeks.  The Ginvera Nutri White and the Green tea  range  looks interesting so is the Tanaka range under BioEssence label.  Tempting. You can find some information on Ginvera  and Bio Essence here :http://ginvera.com/shop_online/product_details.asp?product_id=514

I have been using the  Clean and Clear  Active clear acne clearing cleanser  in the morning and it does the  job perfectly . For nearly two weeks there are  no breakouta only  acne scars.  So, I do not want to change anything major   these few months .

Barbeque party

We had barbeque a few days back when GG,  my brother suggested it. He and his wife , Ti went to to Tesco to buy the stuff . It was also to celebrate my sister's Yati ,  promotion. He he .  My brother Taei and the family too were around.  We had fried rice, prawn and veggie on skewers, chicken , salad and mashed potato. We sat down and ate . It was fun as this is the first time we had barbeque , outside the house. 

Last night we had another barbeque  party organized by Nas. We had  lamb chops, fish , squid , veggies on skewers and marshmallows for the children. Mal opened the fire . The food is lovely and I was full.  We had different kind of food on two occasions. So maybe next time we can combine all the food when everyone  is around  this Aidilfiri. It is not far away .

Fair & Lovely Anti Marks Facial wash

I started to use the Fair &  Lovely Anti Marks again on my nose . After two days the white head on my nose popped . That made me think of Fair and Lovely again. I had a red eye last night , so when I went to the Guardian , to buy a new tube of the Anti Marks cream. I spotted the face  wash. Later in the evening ,  I bought the face wash.  There is still  a  sale at Guardian . Both the cream and face wash cost  about RM 11.00.  I decide to use both products  and  I  give myself  3 weeks  time for the blemishes  to dissapear .  I hope by then there is no more blemish on my nose.  My brother Mal, has been also been using  Fair & Lovely  , he uses the Fair and Lovely  Vitamin  face wash  and the anti marks cream  His face is good and the acne mark has dissapeared.

I have been reading about muslin cloth after washing the face. It seems good. Some of the cream cleansers which  has to be used with    face  cloth are Eve Lom ,Liz Earle ,Pai , Saaf  and Karin Herzog . Eve Lom is expensive at  GBP 50  to GBP 80 ,but a little goes a long way. I am interested in the Liz Earle one. It is in  a nice powder blue packaging. I love light blue .The  cleanser is   called the Cleanse and Polish , is available in  100 gm or 200 grm in a tube .  The Karon Herzog  range is also expensive ,  they have  their signature oxygen cream and their chocolate range .   Well  , I will include these  products   in my wish list , he he he.

Safi Rania Gold and Nixoderm

I bought  Safi Rania Gold Day Cream and Night Cream after reading so many good reviews about it .  Someone said my skin looked clearer. There was  sale at  Tesco and at most of the pharmacies around . The day cream was sold out at Tesco last two weeks. I bought the night cream for  about  RM 23 and the day cream for RM 20 or less .  I decided to give both creams to my mother and switched for   the  Safi cream with aloe vera she uses everyday  instead  .  My skin looked fresher but there are some more blackheads . Is that normal ?

Tonight I tried to use the Nixoderm cream on the black spots on my face .  It stung and I thought is  was okay and then when I took off the  cream , my face has red spots. In panic , I slather the Safi Rania Gold beauty cream , and then the redness subsided.  Safi beauty creams are used by many girls and women as night cream and many swore by it .  So far I have not used these creams regularly . I bought these creams but later somehow did not want to use. Like many reviews of Nixoderm , many do not want to use  at first because of the price but later loved it to bits.  I think I will try out this cream at night and see how it goes .The one that many people swore on  is the one with the green top , the aloe vera one. Here are some links to some blogs which I read about Safi products   and what it could do to one's face. Enjoy.

Nixoderm

My nose has became red and a big pimple had subsided.  I have  been searching for the perfect cream  to treat pimples. I found out about Nixoderm . I smiled when I read the reviews. My father has been using this tiny cream for ages. I remember , when we were young , whenever we have any kind of bites or itchiness we would ask father for Nixoderm.  The active ingredients in the cream are benzoic acid, saliclylic acid and precipitated sulphur .
It is in a tiny light green tin jar . There is a large one and a small one , a 5.34 grm jar. Many people have found this cream  to be very effective. The price is below RM 10.00 . I bought another tiny jar and put on the acne blemish. You have to use the cream for 7 days in a row and then rest for 3 days before trying it again. So far , the blemish is not apparent.  I will wait for another pimple to appear to put this to a test. I hope there won't be another one so soon.

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.
