Now Food Sweet Almond oil

Although I use Cosmoderm products , I still use sweet almond oil . Sometimes I will use it  in the evening or at night . I still add Frankincense essential oil and Patchouli essential oil. I have made a face oil with these two essential oil. This time I added  14 drops of Frankincense oil and 6 drops of Patchouli oil to 40  ml of sweet almond oil. I like almond oil .
 Almond oil  has been used for a long time .For  the traditional English face oil  almond oil is mixed with borage oil. I found a seller who sells Now Food products at Lelong.com  . So I bought this almond oil from her . She does sell a bigger bottle. I found out that almond oil can  also be used for hair as well. The price of this almond oil is RM 33. 00.

Cosmoderm Vitamin E set

Vitamin E scar healing set

I have been using Cosmoderm E set for about three months. This is a  suggested set  which comprise of a  cleanser , toner , exfoliating gel, vitamin e oil and vitamin e cream. At first I bought the vitamin e cream with 3000 iu. After that I bought the one with 1000 iu. I used the 15000 iu vitamin e oil . This set is recommended for those with acne scars and such . For more serious scars like accident scars  the set of 3000 iu cream  and the  vitamin e  oil of 30000iu  oil are  recommended.

I have some scars on my face and they are  fading . The dents have not flatten up but is getting smaller  . So far I felt that this set is good and gentle to the skin. I have changed the Vitamin E cleanser to the Tea tree cleanser because I started to break out. It was not a lot of pimples but one or two with pus . Yikes !!  So I just used the Golden horse pearl cream and 'bedak sejuk' Gamat Shaari to remove the pimple .
I like Cosmoderm products. The products are easily available and they are affordable .  They just come out with a new set for brightening called the Luminous series if I am not mistaken .  They also changed their creams into tubes as opposed to the glass jars  . You can buy their recommended sets from their website here . You can also buy their products at Guardian , Aeon Wellness , Vitacare and  other private pharmacies .. I just bought their vitamin E cream with 3000 iu in the tube. It has zero Paraben , SLS and SLES  .

My brother Mal gave this henna from Madinah . It comes in a beautiful green box with gold letterings. This natural henna can be used for hair and body. The henna plant which is cultivated in Madinah is the finest in the world for the abundance of pigment and natural components.

The colour of my hair is a wonderful red which  I have been waiting for . I do not know how much is the box of Henna . It is made in the  Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

When my mother went to D'herb's  head quarters in Kota Damansara  . I tagged along . I bought a foundation from Chanteq Purnama . This foundation is created by the founder's wife. His beautiful wife had created a range of skincare and makeup products. This is a cream foundation  made with German technology . There is one colour to fit all Asian skin. It is not a yellow based cream but it is more towards a beige  , natural Malay skin colour . It is a beautiful color.
