Velly velly dizgusding!

After reading THIS and THIS, i was very interested in trying out the DIY cleanser / mask / scrub.

I bought a box of Aspirin & Organic Pure Olive Oil from Watsons and Raw sugar from Cold storage.

I tried the Olive Oil Sugar scrub on my neck and chest area yesterday, it was so-so only. maybe i have to use it a few more times to see the results.
today, i decided to give the Aspirin mask a try. i was really surprised by the result and also very, very disgusted.


This may look like some ordinary used cotton on a towel. but if you take a closer look at it...


It's either dirt / leftover make ups / pimples' blood / i don't know what else / all of the above.
this is what i found when i used my Artistry's clarifying toner after washing off the Aspirins.

I already took a shower and of course, washed my face.
*sighs*
no wonder my complexion is so 'buang' now.


It is said that 3 - 4 Aspirin tablets should be enough for one mask / cleanser, i used 8 and that's one whole row of Aspirin tablets. now i'm only left with 2 more rows (16 tablets)
if it's your first time trying this mask / cleanser out, please refrain from using that much of Aspirins cos you might be sensitive to it and it is also very dehydrating for the skin. my skin is already very dehydrated, so it doesn't make any difference.


Telling me not to put on make ups is just as good as telling me not to eat. 'nuff said.


Go try and tell me if you get the above like me, let me know that there's nothing wrong with me!

Mine isn't as bad as Jean's (AHEM!) she went through similar pimple outbreak that lasted for more than half a year. it good to be young and youthful, but the whole pimple outbreak thing is very sickening. it makes you wanna lock yourself at home so that there won't be a next person who'd ask you what's happened to your once glowing and flawless complexion.
OMGWTFBBQZZZ...

The next person who asks me that question will get slap i tell you... really.
Agib, Bell, Jean, Rayne, EVERYONE went "eh, what happened to your face / skin / complexion ah?" on different occasions in a day. si bei irritating!


I'm heading for Unity, Guardian or Watsons to get Benzac AC 2.5% soon.
i'll blog about it after trying.

Excerpt from Acne.org,
(i told you to read the different types of Acnes in my previous post right!)

"Benzoyl peroxide oxygenates skin. Acne bacteria cannot live in oxygenated environments. Benzoyl peroxide is also a mild drying and peeling agent which is thought to help keep pores from clogging. On the Regimen you'll be using 2.5% benzoyl peroxide because clinical studies have shown it is just as effective as 5% and 10% but much less irritating. Remember, irritation alone can aggravate acne. I found that using lots of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is incredibly effective. Why apply so much? Nobody knows for sure why this works so amazingly well but myself and thousands of others have had great success using this method. My theory is that applying more simply allows it to penetrate more deeply into the skin"

I don't know how true or good it is, but i'm gonna go ahead and give it a try.
not fogetting the egg white mask that helps minimizes pores, this one must try!!!


YA, I AM VERY VAIN.
