Neutrogena Fine Fairness lotion

My sister Nas bought  a few bottles of this lotion for her dermatologist back in Riyadh. Her dermatologist said that this lotion is the best  out there  .   She gave me  and my sisters one each  . I used this lotion everytime I go out at day time. It has spf 30. The lotion is supposed to lighten the pigmentation.  I am satisfied with this lotion .  The price of this lotion is RM 39.90. Nowadays,  I start  to use  the Aztec mask again. It has been lying in the box for some time. Sometimes I feel very lazy to apply mask.  The under eyeline is still there although I use Bio oil every night.  

Neutrogena Alcohol free toner

This is the third Neutrogena product I have used. I was looking for a gentle toner. I have chosen this toner because it is alcohol free. I am satisfied with it. This is my second bottle.  I have one or two tiny pimples this month. Two days ago,  I woke up with some rashes on my face , near my eye area. So , I used some tumeric and sandalwood powder.  Today I use the cold powder with tumeric powder.  The price of this toner is RM 15.90.

My sister Nas has gone back to Riyadh. My twin sisters have gone back to her hometown and a conference. My brother Taei is here with his family.

Cosmoderm Magic Exfoliant Gel

I had whiteheads sometime ago. I decided to try the exfoliant gel from Cosmoderm. It does help in eliminating most of the whiteheads. The gel is watery not thick. It is in a glass bottle. I have used half of it's content. I am happy with this gel.There are three range in this skincare. The tea tree,vitamin E and rosehip and the gentle series. The tea tree is for oily skin, the vitamin E range is for scars while the Gentle range is for dry,sensitive or mature skin.

 Most of the range are available at Guardian,Vitacare and Alpro pharmacies. You can also buy their products from their website at  http://www.cosmoderm.com.my/ .    The price of this gel is RM 24.90.

Today all my siblings and their family are here for Ifftar. We had seafood fare today. I wish to all my Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays.

D' Herbs Madu Propolis set

I have tried the Honey and Propolis set from D'Herbs in April. I bought their trial set. There is a soap , a toner and a  day or night moisurizer.  One  of the ingredient of the soap is  cinammon. This is a simple set for those who have pimples , pigmentation or scar. My mother became   a D'Herbs agent for the shop near my house. She likes to use their  hair cream and the collagen lipstick . Sometimes she would use their eye liner.

The soap is ok. The toner  is quite   strong . The cream is my favourite . It is quite sticky though. 

The trial set lasts for about three weeks. More if you use  a little bit of the cream. I think I would  try their skincare again sometime soon.
The price of the trial set is RM 59.00.For  the full size, the price of the soap is RM 19.90, the toner is RM 26.90 and the cream at 30 ml is RM 36.90. The products are available at most  Jamu shops or kiosks. You can  also order the products from their website at www.deherbs.com.my/

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
