My absolute skin saver:   Laroche-Posay Effaclar Duo and Effaclar AI I first got to know about these French skincare products from Digitaltraincase when I was still in Manila.  That time, my skin was fairly normal and I was on the look out for maintenance products that will make my skin stay as such.  I got the Effaclar toner, Effaclar Duo, Effaclar K and Effaclar A.  I've finished a bottle of the toner (and loved it) but as for the rest of the products, they had to take a back seat because I didn't really find the need for them at that time.  My main issue has always been the scars left by nasty breakouts, so I jumped in to another set of skincare products that focuses on that. When I got here in the UAE, my skin took months to adjust. So again, break out galore. Probably because of the water? Maybe.  Then when the cold season kicked in, it just totally went haywire. And guess what, I also started getting back acne.  When it rains, it re...

How's the weekend treating you my dearies?  Me, I'm enjoying bumming at home, watching TV and having a few good laughs with my Mom. It's a great day today, it's not too hot outside and I was able to have a full 8hr-sleep. It doesn't happen often so that's something  for me to rejoice about.  ^_^ Today, I'll be sharing with you this one great product I've been using (and loving).  You know that I have really oily skin that breakout so often.  I can't keep my hands off my face and pricking my zits has got to be one of my favorite hobbies. Good thing there are a lot of acne stuff available that helps dry out pimples or keep whiteheads from developing into pimples.   H ere's one spot treatment that made it to my Holy Grail list: SNOE Shoo-zit Dip and Dry Acne Drying Lotion A fast-acting, effective acne spot treatment. Formulated with Purefix-DC, salicylic acid, calamine and other quick-drying ingredients, this product will shrink ...

I just came from somewhere cold, and based on experience, the cold season causes my skin to get clogged. My skin is just weird like that. It looks like my skin prefers summer season, after all. Sigh. And since I don't always have the time to see my dermatologist to give my nasty face bumps a shot, I turn to readily available topical solutions. One of those is a toner which has an antibacterial/anti-inflammatory properties like erythromycin. Don't worry, this is of course recommended by a dermatologist and not something that I just thought of using. Self-medication is a no-no! Erythromycin 2% Solution from Forever Flawless (for Mild to Moderate Acne) I've been using this for months now, but I don't use it everyday...just on days when I have (very) problematic skin or when I feel like pimples would be erupting anytime soon. Erythromycin prevents clogging by removing dead skin cells and deep-seated dirt caused mainly by makeup (in my case). How I us...

i just realized recently that my skin breaks out during the -ber months (September-December). I've been suffering from cystic acne lately and i just grew tired of worrying about new one popping out everyday. i told myself that i'd go back to OBAGI after all these pimples dry up...but i am getting impatient of waiting when that day would come. i almost resorted to using that spot treatment i tried years ago which left me scarred for a long time. those dark pimple scars haunted me for such a long time until i met Obagi. i was on the look out for a good pimple spot remover that would take care of my angry red bumps so i can start Obagi in no time. good thing i found this: Garnier Pure SOS Anti-Blemish Spot Pen contains zinc for its controlling properties, an anti-bacterial agent for its cleansing power, and 100% natural cucumber extract for its energizing and skin-hydrating qualities. This combination of natural active ingredients replies completely and efficiently to all pro...
