Garnier Light Peeling Night Cream

I bought the Garnier Light Peeling Night Cream after watching the advertisement on  the television with the girl in yellow tudong . There is sale at Guardian for RM 16.90 where I get  also get a small tube of cleanser and moisturiser. The cream is white in colour ,a light consistency. When I  first use it , it stings and there is some redness but it  subsided after an hour . I hope it will and can erase the discolouration. So far I have not used it every day. My face looks clearer. I have been using the cream for one week. So I have a long way to go .

 I wonder if I should become a beauty consultant and I can buy for my personal use. Avon has their Anew line, as for Nutrimetics I am interested in their crown jewel Apricot cream , the Nutri Rich oil.  I am interested in both . Nutrimetics have their own  treatment line and one of those is  the Gentle Peel Creme  which is made from glycolic acid and fruit acid which is now sold for RM 160.   There is a retinol cream and  vitamin C capsule. The one from Avon  I am keen on is their  retexturing peeling pads which cost about RM 75 if I am not mistaken.    For those interested in the peeling pad, here is some information about it http://www.avon.com/1/1/4080-anew-clinical-advanced-retexturizing-peel.html , you can find Avon on line from some of the on line website like this one for instance http://avonparadise.blogspot.com/ . There is the No. 14 campaign  for  the Anew Clinical products. For Nutrimetics there is one  equally nice  website too http://salbeautyhealth.com/estore/?p=productsList&iCategory=81&sName=Skin-Treatment

Hada Labo AHA & BHA cleanser

I bought Hada Labo Tamgohada AHA + BHA face cleanser last friday. I have been using it for 5 days  now.

 The face wash has a combination of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA ( Salicyclic Acid) which provide clarity,brightness and promote skin cell renewal by preventing  dead skin cell buildup. Skin's surface is renewed for a smoother texture. The product is free of fragrances,mineral oil , alcohol and colourants. So far my face is not irritated by this cleanser.  I chose it for the daily exfoliation. The price of the facial wash is RM 31.90 for 130 gm and there is a smaller size for RM 17.90. There is the famous lotion or toner but maybe I will buy it next month. I am interested to erase some discolouration on my upper left cheek .I still use the bedak sejuk  and I still use it  every week.  The facial wash is white and creamy . It does not cause any irritation . I still have the Pond's cream .  I have finished the rice milk soap . It is a good soap . Did not cause any break outs. It does make the hands fairer since I mostly wash my left hand more often. Today I went to the PPUM or University Malaya Medical Centre for the Hand Therapy.  The wound on the my arm is not healing nicely. I still have another 8 weeks to go.  Ramadhan is coming. My brother Rafiq will hold his wedding reception in August.

Lemon and sugar scrub and HR Hi Goat

I found a new scrub to try on. It's called the lemon and sugar scrub. They showed how to do it on the tube.  I find my skin is softer with the scrub and the Citra Lestari soap is fine.After washing my face I pat on the the apple cider vinegar. I have been searching  for  the best way to erase surgery wound after the s titch is open.I want to try the rosehip oil. The Cica care silicone gel is good too or another cream called the Dermatix which is available at the doctor's . So far I saw a 15 grm tube  which cost RM 100 with  postage  at the  ebay. I am now taking goat's milk called Hi Goat. My mother is a dealer .It's a local company use goat's milk for the skin care and the milk does not have any unpleasant taste. The company is in Kedah. They also make lipstick You can contact the parent company or the many websites for the products. http://hrgroup2u.com/uta/ This is the website. The milk is powdered milk .

  The lemon scrub felt sticky  and sweet to taste. I had stopped using  lemon juice at night . I am not consistent. Here are two favourite videos of the scrub. Have fun .

Accident

I met an accident on Friday I slipped into the drain. Jingga fell into the drain as he fought the other cat.
I had to undergo a surgery. My humerus and wrist broke.
My husband was there with  me most of the time and my parents and siblings. I got calls from my sisters. Alhamdulillah my nerves on the hand is still there. I have to go for dressing every two days. Today I felt better and I could use the computer but writing is quite difficult. Accidents can happen anytime and with loved ones around ,one could recuperate faster.When I came back Jingga came to me and showed his mouth. He hides in the room and sleep in my room. I am grateful that I was not hit on the head or the face.

Skincare regime 2010

I bought the Citra Lestari rice milk on Friday  at Semua House and have been using it these days. Sometimes I will clean my face with Pond's cold cream. I saw some at Haniffa store at Jalan Masjid India. They have a few left . I still have mine so I did not buy the big one. I wonder if they will stop selling  the cold cream . Too bad if they do . The  rice millk soap has a clean smell and foams a lot. After that  I use the apple cider toner. Some school of thought  says  that using toner is not really necessary , some  say they do. matter  I normally do not use any toner maybe some rose water. Then I use a Pond's  moisturiser .In the afternoon or at  night I will use the bedak sejuk . I have made the egg yolk and honey mixture to prevent wrinkles. One teaspoon of egg yolk  to two teaspoons of honey. It is good as the face will become moist. Now if I have zits I will dap Apple cider vinegar on  to it. It stings and clears up fast. I put the acv on the my face while my face is still damp after washing. I find that it will sting the face if  it is dry.  Now I use baking soda as a scrub. It is cheap and works well .

As for sunscreen I still have the Murad sunscreen my sisters gave me and the Garnier one .  I try to limit the time I am under the sun.  At night I  use oil , moisturiser or the Safi beauty cream. I think this will do . I don't have a break out. I have some pigmentation. It is less visible and 3 black spots. There is some discolouration but not so visible.  I think the bedak sejuk does it's job . Well this is my skin regime for the moment . 

As for moisturisers I seem to be going back to Olay . The original one and Total Effects. Then Safi , now it's  Pond's. Maybe I will try the Regenerist line.  Safi is not bad . I read that there are many faithful users of Safi. I can get Pond's Dry Skin Cream  at Haniffa.  I used Tia Amelia whenever I could.  Some brands I'd like to try  is Renew or Sukin, Hada Labo , Roc , Simply Sity , Avalon and some other upmarket ones. If my face get's clearer , free from any blemish , discolouration  . I might stick to this regime.

Here is one of the  many websites that talk about  Pond's cold cream :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxC5dWT-V00&feature=related

Apple Cider Vinegar and Citra Lestari Rice Milk Soap

My husband and I went to buy an apple cider vinegar. Braggs from the neighbourhood organic store. We have consumed it for about three days. My husband felt more energetic.  There is a  face scrub made of bicarbonate soda . It is said to be good for  te hands. I saw the hand scrub from Hollywood beauty secrets in you tube.  I also made a toner with 50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar.   I then  put some apple cider vinegar on  to my pimple and had cleared in two days. 

I don't know why I have pimples popping on nowadays.  Perhaps it is  the stress. There is a therapy called LED light therapy. I wonder if it is availalbe in Malaysia.There is a soap in the market called Citra Lestari Rice Milk soap It is made from the rice water which is very good for the skin like the bedak sejuk I use every week. The large size is RM 20 and the smaller one is RM 10. It is said to lighten the face.. I have been changing cleansers . Now I am using Esmeria before it is Safi.

Here is the hand scrub from the lady who writes Hollywood beauty secrets.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsMQDjefczk and from Citra Lestari  http://citra2u.blogspot.com/2009/04/sabun-kecantikan-susu-beras.html.

Jane Austen and Jingga

Jingga my male cat has a lady visitor every night. A scrawny looking female cat from the colony of cats behind our house. She does not like him.  I had to bring her out.  Poor  Jingga , he is still searching and waits for her. He refuses to come into the house. She will come again around 2  am  with Awang the cat. I had to shoo shoo Awang out because I don' t want them to fight.

I have been watching Jane Austen's novels uploaded on the You Tube. I am currently watching Persuasion 1995 there is another version in 2007. I like cotton dresses, the thing is my tailor does not know how to make empire dresses . I saw a nice chiffon  dress at Arcadia in Jusco Bandar Utama. It is about RM 80. I will show it to my tailor . A Miss Diah.

 I have now realised my  dream to read again. I went to the  Project Guttenberg website . So there are three novels to read simultaneously , if I don't doze off. A room with a view, Greenmantle by John Buchan and The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton .A chapter a day.  My husband said that there  are period movies sold  in a shop where he works. All I have to do is give him the titles. Nevertheless , I can enjoy the movies now. So for now I can

go back to favourite pastime .
