Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Real vs Fake

This particular post is long overdue and I probably should've made it sooner because there are a lot of fake products out there that made from GOD knows what and it could be a potential threat to our health. I only bought one fake from a local seller and there are also fakes for Naked 1 and Naked 2. There are other types of Urban Decay and Naked fakes out there but for this post purposes I only make a comparison between the Authentic one that I own and the Fake one that I bought.

Top: Real ~ Bottom: Fake
Front Box
 
The top one is real and the bottom one is fake. I got the real one from winning an International Giveaway (YAYY!!) and I got the fake one from local online shop for only IDR 35,000 (about USD 2,6)!!! I mean the real Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette retail price is USD 54 (from their web) or about IDR 729,000!! From the price alone surely you'll know that there's something wrong right?!?!

Saran Perawatan Kulit Untuk Cowok

♪。+。(☆´I`)」【。゚+.нёllо。゚+.】L(´I`★)。+.。♪
  
Sejak aku mulai ngeblog tentang berbagai pengalamanku mengatasi jerawat yang sedihnya tetap masih terus berperang sampai sekarang (/TДT)/. Aku mulai sering mendapat pertanyaan dari para reader cowok tentang perihal kulit mereka. Sebetulnya sih aku bukan ahli kulit atau apa gitu dan saran yang aku kasih ke mereka hanya berdasarkan apa yang aku sendiri lakukan. Kali-kali aja gitu mereka tidak cocok trus komplain ke aku. Bisa gawat tuh ☆≡(>。<). Tapi untungnya sampai sekarang masih aman-aman saja dan malah karena ada yang sukses sampai minta ritual perawatan wajahku dari pagi sampe malam. Hi hi hi gag kebayang pula aku ada cowok dari pagi udah cuci muka, pake toner, pake essence / serum, trus lanjut emulsion dan sunblock dijamin dia harus bangun lebih pagi dari biasanya hi hi hi....

Aku sendiri juga punya ade cowok dan dia sendiri juga cukup perduli sama wajahnya. Bukannya mau sok gaya apa gimana tapi demi menunjang penampilan dan rasa percaya diri aja. Perduli dengan kondisi kulit bukan untuk cewek aja tapi cowok juga perlu. Selain itu cowok lebih sering terpapar cuaca dan lingkungan jadi kulit mereka tentunya akan lebih cepat menua dibanding cewek. Selain itu beberapa tips dan saran untuk mengatasi jerawatku itu aku dapat dari adeku loh. Kok bisa?? Ya bisa soalnya sekarang dia sedang dalam masa studi untuk menjadi Dokter Spesialis Kulit dan Kelamin he he he gpp yak numpang pamer dikit. Jadi segala masalah kulitku selalu aku konsultasikan ke dia. Nah... Saran-saran yang aku bagikan disini adalah hal-hal yang dia sendiri lakukan dan hasilnya sangat kelihatan loh. Tadinya dia jerawatan banget dan malas-malasan hihihi tapi setelah kakaknya sukses dengan saran-saran dia akhirnya lebih rajin lah anaknya dan mukanya sudah jauh lebih bersih. Bahkan lebih cepet bersihnya dibanding aku huks huks. Waktu aku tanya kenapa dia lebih cepet bersihnya kata dia "Ya iyalah aku kan enggak pake kosmetik kayak mbak Sekar". He he he intinya kalau mau kulitnya lebih cepet bagus aku harus stop sama sekali pake perlenongan dan pastinya itu GAG MUNGKIN!!!

Oh ya sedikit info mengenai jenis kulit adeku. Kulit dia cenderung berminyak dan acne prone kayak aku, namun bedanya selain kombinasi normal-berminyak dan acne prone kulitku juga sensitif. Jadi masih mendingan kulit dia lah intinya. Kulit dia juga lebih gelap dari aku jadi kalo ada bekas jerawat jauh lebih cepat pudar dibanding aku. Hiks hiks nangis lagi dehh!! (T^T)(^T )(T )( )( T)( T^)(T^T). Jadi... Post ini aku buat berdasarkan pengalam dia ditambah sedikit saran dari yang aku lakukan sendiri yang kira-kira bisa dilakukan oleh cowok yang gag mau repot. Here we go!!


1. Cuci muka 2x sehari
Adeku mencuci mukanya 2x sehari di pagi dan malam hari saja. Sisanya kalau wajah dia terasa kotor cukup dibilas dengan air biasa saja tanpa menggunakan sabun pembersih wajah.

2. Pilih sabun pembersih wajah yang sesuai dengan jenis kulit.
Tips ini sepertinya standar tapi sering dihiraukan loh. Apalagi sekarang banyak produk pembersih wajah yang disesuaikan untuk pria jadi tidak perlu bingung lagi. Bagi yang kulitnya berminyak dan acne prone bisa cari yang mengandung tea tree atau salicylic acid. Pembersih wajah yang dipakai adeku didapat dari dokter kulit jadinya gag bisa share merknya, tapi aku beliin dia The Skinfood Tea Tree and Lavender Facial Wash nanti dilihat hasilnya setelah dia mulai pakai.

3. Pakai tabir surya
Pakai tabir surya atau sunblock itu wajib hukumnya buat dia. Tiap hari dia naik motor kemana-mana bayangin aja paparan sinar UV pastinya cukup lumayan. Bukannya takut hitam loh ya, tapi sebagai pencegahan terhadap kanker kulit. Sunblock yang dipakai juga ada dua yaitu sunblock untuk wajah dan badan. Untuk wajah dipakai dari pagi sampai siang dan harus dioleskan kembali selang beberapa jam pada wajah yang bersih (biasanya sekitar 2-3 jam sekali tergantung paparan). Tapi dibersihkannya hanya dengan air saja lalu kemudian mengoleskan sunblock kembali. Sunblock yang biasa dia pakai itu Parasol dan belinya di apotik. Oh ya karena kulit dia acne prone dia sering mencampur sedikit obat jerawat yang dia gunakan dengan sunblock dan kata dia sunblock itu kan komedogenik alias bisa menimbulkan komeda jadi di counter attack sama obat jerawat gitu. Kalau yang ini juga sering aku praktekkin he he he

4. Pakai obat jerawat
Berhubung adeku mudah jerawatan kayak aku, obat jerawat sudah menjadi hal yang wajib dalam perawatan wajah kita berdua. Obat jerawat yang biasa dia pakai ada dua dengan kandungan yang berbeda. Yang pertama adalah yang mengandung Nicotinamide seperti Niacef dan yang ini adalah yang biasanya dicampur dengan sunblock. Obat jerawat yang kedua adalah yang mengandung Clindamycin seperti Cindala atau Medi-Klin dan yang ini biasa dia pakai di sore hari pada kulit yang bersih. Selain dua itu ada juga obat jerawat lain yang dia rekomendasi ke aku yaitu yang mengandung Benzoyl Peroxide seperti Benzolac tapi tidak bisa sering aku gunakan karena bikin kulitku flaky. Semua obat jerawat yang aku sebut disini bisa dibeli di apotik yah.

5. Gunakan handuk yang berbeda untuk melap wajah
Kalau yang ini tips dari aku, kenapa berbeda? Karena di handuk tubuh pastinya udah banyak menempel sel-sel kulit mati dari tubuh dan jika digunakan juga pada wajah maka kotoran di handuk dapat menempel ke wajah. Aku sendiri sih menggunakan tissue tapi kalo cowok kayaknya males deh beli tissue, jadi minimal bedain aja deh handuknya.

6. Retinoid
Nah kalau yang ini kayaknya udah produk Holy Grail kita berdua. Penjelasan mengenai retinoid sudah aku jelaskan panjang lebar sampai 2 babak di blog ini (disini dan disini) jadi tidak perlu dijelaskan lagi ya. Produk yang dia gunakan adalah Evalen yang isinya Adapalene yang merupakan turunan dari Retinoic Acid. Kata dia si Evalen ini isinya setara dengan Vitacid yang kandungan Retinoic Acid-nya 0.025% dan tidak seiritasi Vitacid. Jadi untuk pemula si Evalen ini lebih ramah lah di kulit. Cari dimana? Silahkan mampir ke apotik terdekat ^^.

7. Minum tambahan suplemen Zinc.
Adeku paling males minum suplemen tambahan walaupun dia sendiri menyarankan aku untuk minum Zinc. Selain multivitamin untuk Zinc sendiri biasa aku minum 2x sehari kalau jerawatnya parah dan kalau kulitku lagi oke cukup sekali sehari karena Zinc ini membantu mengeringkan jerawat juga menguatkan rambut dan kuku loh! Selain Zinc ada suplemen lain yang juga membantu seperti Omega 3 namun karena harganya lumayan mehi belum pernah aku coba.

Gimana tipsnya? Gag ribet kan? Selain untuk berbagi ilmu (hehe kayak apaan aja), post ini aku buat untuk mengikuti Giveaway kolaborasi dari blog Mimoyoja dan Helo Kim.

1st Impression: Etude House Skin Malgem Kit and Quick Trick for Acne-Prone Skin

Hi.. ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I haven't update my blog for a while now because I've been busy preparing for my graduation and haven't had the time to post anything and since now I had a lil' bit time I'm gonna post my first impression on Etude House Skin Malgem Kit.


I got this trial kit as a giveaway prize from Intenscorner a few months ago and finally decided to use it. 


[Contents]
Exfoliation Toner (Smoother) 15ml
Deep Moisture Freshener (Deep Moist) 15ml
Facial Cotton Pads: Clear Cotton 5 pads & Soft Cotton 3 pads


Skin Malgem Smoother

Etude House Skin [Mal:Gem] Smoother is a hypoallergenic exfoliating toner that makes skin clear and smooth. Orange ingredient reduces appearance of pores and cleans out impurities effectively, by removing dead skin cells. Lemon extract makes dull skin look brighter and clearer while sugar maple promotes softer skin with moisturizing properties.

Directions: After cleansing, apply all over face with cotton swab.


At the back of the bottle it says "Exfoliation Toner", which really helps in keeping skin smooth. This toner has watery consistency and it has a flowery fruity scent. Both of the Smoother and Deep Moist has a similar scent. I use this toner twice a day as a clarifying toner after I wash my face to deep cleanse my skin. A bottle last for about 10 days since I'm only using it a little bit because I don't want it to go empty since I love this toner so much!! This toner really cleanse my skin well, even after I wash my face there is is still some dirt residue on the cotton!! This means (I think) that this toner really cleanse my face well and my face feels extra clean! 


Skin Malgem Smoother

Etude House Skin [Mal:Gem] Deep Moist is a hypoallergenic toner for those with very dry skin. It’s milky like texture allows the moisturizing properties to penetrate so deep and effectively, that additional moisturizers are not needed. Soybean extracts nourish skin sufficiently, improving overall skin condition. While pore controlling properties make skin clear and smooth by reducing their appearance.
Directions: After cleansing, apply all over face with cotton swab.


The Deep Moist is said to fit people with dry and sensitive skin but it works surprisingly well on my oily combination skin too!! I think because Deep Moist is water based rather than oil based so it also suits my skin too. Deep Moist  has a milky texture and looks more like a emulsion or a serum than a toner, so instead using it like a normal toner with cotton I use it like a lotion by rubbing it on my palm and then pat my skin gently with it. Deep Moist feels really nice and it has a cooling effect on my skin too! It is really mild and moisturizes well without making my face feels oily. One small bottle last for about 3 weeks because I only use it in the morning.



Clear Cotton

There's five pad of circular clear cotton in the Skin Malgem Kit and the circular one has wave ridges on it. I think it was suppose to help exfoliate the skin better but regular cotton works the same too.


Soft Cotton

There's also three soft cotton inside the Skin Malgem Kit and it is used as a lotion mask. I use it with the Deep Moist and it left my skin fresh and supple. But regular cotton works just as good though


Moisturizer/Sunblock Trick for Acne-Prone Skin

As I mention regularly on my post... My skin are not good... I have large pore, sensitive, acne prone and oily combination skin which means that I have a constant never ending battle with ACNE!! I usually put acne medication at night but at morning and day I don't have any protection from acne. So I ask my brother about it and he suggest that I mix acne gel with moisturizer or sunblock. That way my skin is protected from acne and since it is mixed with moisturizer too the acne gel won't make my skin dries!! Apparently he's been mixing acne gel and sunblock for a while too!! So.... If you have an acne prone skin like mine and want some extra protection maybe you can use this trick too..!!


I currently use Etude House Skin Malgem Deep Moist and Niacef Acne Gel. You can get Niacef at local pharmacy.


Use about a pea size of acne gel on your palm.


Add moisturizer, emulsion, serum, sunblock or whatever it is that you want to mix with the acne gel. Rub your palm together and pat the product lightly on your face. I use them on my neck too since I have a few acne on my neck (T.T),

Jerawat di Punggung (Bacne)?!?!?!


Bacne adalah singkatan dari back acne atau body acne. Biasanya jerawat ini muncul di punggung, lengan, pantat, dada dan bagian tubuh lainnya. Bentuknya juga bermacam-macam dari seperti jerawat biasa, blackhead, pustule dan cysts yang biasanya terasa sakit dan perih. Kulit punggung dan tubuh lebih tebal dibanding kulit wajah dan memiliki kelenjar minyak yang juga lebih banyak dibanding kulit wajah jadi munculnya jerawat di tubuh atau punggung itu bukan merupakan hal yang tidak lazim.

Aku sendiri sudah cukup lama berperang dengan yang namanya jerawat punggung. Masa muka sudah dipakai perawatan macam-macam tapi punggungnya jerawatan. Udah banyak jenis obat jerawat juga yang aku oles-oles ke punggung tapi hasilnya nihil!! Akhirnya setelah cari info sana-sini ternyata cuka apel juga bagus loh untuk jerawat punggung dan bukan hanya untuk muka. Resepnya disini dan disini.

Cara aku mengatasi jerawat di punggungku adalah dengan mengoleskan ramuan Toner Cuka Apel yang biasa aku pakai untuk wajah. Campuran tersebut aku semprotkan di punggung sehabis mandi lalu ditunggu sampai kering. Baunya agak kemana-mana sih tapi gpp lah... Daripada punggungnya jerawatan gitu... Kan bikin malu yey..

Untuk yang tidak mau mengikuti resep toner di atas bisa juga mencampur Cuka Apel dan Air (bukan air keran tapinya yahhh....) dengan perbandingan 1:1. Campur cuka apel dan air tersebut di dalam botol spray lalu semprotkan ke punggung setelah mandi atau sebelum tidur dan tunggu sampai kering. Ada juga sih yang langsung mengoleskan Cuka Apelnya langsung ke punggung tanpa diencerkan dengan air dengan menggunakan kapas atau botol spray. Whatever works for you I guess....

Selain menggunakan campuran cuka apel ada tips-tips lain yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencegah munculnya jerawat punggung seperti:

- Eksfoliasi secara rutin menggunakan scrub tapi jangan terlalu sering ya nanti malah iritasi dan kering yang akhirnya malah semakin memicu jerawat.

- Menambah suplemen harian dengan kandungan Zinc 50 mg. Zinc mampu menyerang bakteri penyebab jerawat dan bisa dibeli di apotik.

- Saat sedang keramas pastikan residu dari shampoo dan conditioner tidak tertinggal di punggung. Setelah membilas rambut bilas lagi punggungnya supaya tidak ada residu yang menempel.

- Keringat yang muncul saat berolahraga apabila tidak segera dibersihkan juga dapat menjadi sarang bakteri penyebab jerawat. Pastikan mandi yang bersih setelah berolahraga ya!! He he he

- Residu dari deterjen cucian yang menempel pada baju juga mampu memicu jerawat loh... Jadi pastikan baju kamu dicuci dan dibilas dengan bersih.

- Jangan terlalu sering memakai baju yang sama selama berhari-hari karena keringat dan kotoran bisa menempel di baju tersebut dan memicu jerawat.

- Handuk yang kamu gunakan untuk mandi atau olahraga juga harus bersih. Jangan menggunakan handuk yang sama sampai berminggu-minggu hehehe... Nanti bakteri dan kotoran yang ada di handuk bisa pindah ke kulit kamu.


Mampir ke BLOG SALE aku yuukk
ke GARAGE SALE juga boleee

Castor Oil 101

Image taken from hbmag.com

What is Castor Oil?

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean (technically castor seed as the castor plant, Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), is not a member of the bean family). Castor oil is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 961 kg/m3. It is a triglyceride in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid. Oleic and linoleic acids are the other significant components.

Castor oil, extracted from castor beans, is widely used across the world. The castor plant, which initially originated in the warm regions of India, can be found in most of the Mediterranean and tropical zones. Though raw castor beans are not fit for human consumption, even causing illness at times, castor oil has been infused with a large number of health benefits, apart from uses as a beauty product. For instance, it is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant oil which has been used for centuries for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Then, the oil can also be used for treating various skin ailments. Although it has a strong and rather unpleasant taste, castor oil is used in cosmetics, soaps, textiles, medicines, massage oils and many other everyday products. Want to know more about the benefits of castor oil? Read on.

What are the Benefits of Castor Oil?

I’m gonna focus more on the benefits of castor oil for beauty but I’m gonna share a quick peek on some of its benefits for health. Castor Oil has been used both internally and externally for thousands of years due to its many wonderful health benefits. Since it can strengthen the immune system, castor oil is considered a great remedy to treat the following major illnesses and ailments:
Multiple Sclerosis
Parkinson's Disease
Cerebral Palsy
Pain from Arthritis and Rheumatism
Yeast Infections
Constipation
Gastrointestinal Problems
Menstrual Disorders
Migraines
Athlete's Foot
Ringworm
Skin Abrasions
Inflammation
Castor Oil is also commonly used to induce labour, so pregnant women should always consult a doctor before using it.

My Skin Care and Make-Up Shelf

Happy Sunday fellas...!!

One of my reader asks me to post about my dressing table, but since I live in a boarding house and don't have a dressing table I'm gonna post about my skin care and make-up shelf. I don't have any method or anything in organizing this shelf just putting the one that I use the most where it's easier to reach and put the stock pile in the bottom shelf.


The first shelf is where I put my glasses, jewelry and eye shadow and blusher case.

More EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) Benefits

Image taken from here
Good day fellas..!!

Are you having a good day today?

Well I'm not... But it's ok, I'm making this new blog post to calm myself and ease my mind. 

If you've already my post on EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) before, you probably know that EVOO has a lot of benefits for your health and beauty. I only post what I personally do with EVOO on my previous post, but I'm gonna post more of EVOO benefits and use in this post. So be prepare to read a pretty long post people....

EVOO for Beauty:
Pure and natural beauty aids are an alternative if you are trying to avoid additives, preservatives and other elements that may be harmful to skin and bodies. Olive oil is a natural lipid; its chemical composition is very close to our body's natural oil, called sebum, which allows our skin to absorb olive oil easily. Olive oil can help lock moisture into our skin and keep it soft and smooth. Olive oil also contains antioxidants and stimulates skin's production of elastin and collagen, two important natural components of plump, smooth, young-looking skin.

What I Do With Baking Soda... and More......

Image Taken From Here
  The red part is my updated part.

Has anybody ever heard of bicarbonate of soda? Probably not, but if it's baking soda I'm sure you've heard of it. Baking soda is a white powder that is traditionally used as a raising agent for baking. Many people actually forget that baking soda was originally intended for just that, baking! It has so many other uses today that baking is probably not even one of the top three anymore. You see it in toothpastes, laundry detergents, air fresheners.


There are many reasons to use baking soda in your home, but the number one reason is because this is a natural substance that will not harm you, your family or the environment because is it not a chemical compound that effects nature. Baking soda is actually a compound that is found through out nature, in the ocean, in the soil, in our foods, and in our bodies. Baking soda is a neutralizer of many other compounds, which is helpful in our daily living. I even buys it in bulk for stocking up since it's so versatile.

Is it Safe?

Baking soda is a safe product that you can even eat. Baking soda is used in a huge variety of foods that we eat every day. You could even take a teaspoon of baking soda and eat it if you like. While eating this teaspoon of baking soda right from the box might not agree with your taste buds, it is not going to cause your body any harm what so ever.  

Baking soda is inexpensive and cheap. Broadening your use of baking soda, not only for baking but also in cleaning and for your own personal hygiene can help you save a lot of money in your household grocery and cleaning bills. 

Enough with the talking, I will share you what I personally do with baking soda and many other uses for it.

Mouthwash:
When I run out of mouthwash I mix about 1/2 tsp of baking soda with water as a mouthwash replacement.

Toothpaste:
I dip my toothbrush into baking soda and add my usual toothpaste and brush my teeth with this mixture, regular use of this mixture will whiten your teeth.

Scrub / Exfoliator: 
I mix baking soda and water to form a paste and apply it gently at my face or other rough parts like knees and elbows and rub it in a circular motion.

Bath: 
I add about 1/2 cup to my bathwater to soften the skin.

Facial / Acne Mask:
I mix baking soda and water to form a thicker paste and apply it to the face as facial mask, but this mask is too rough for my skin lately so I only make a small amount of this paste and dab it into acne.

Hair Rinse / Shampoo:
  • I mix about 1 tbsp of baking soda and water and rinse my hair with this solution before shampooing, sort of a pre-shampoo treatment to remove those hair products buildup.
  • As a shampoo I sprinkle some baking soda to my shampoo and shampoo my hair as usual. This method also help remove hair products buildup.

What I Do With EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)


I just loovveee EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). Why? because there are many beauty and health benefits of extra virgin olive oil that will help you look great! It is so versatile it can be used internally or externally. Taken internally, olive oil promotes better digestion, stimulates metabolism, and lubricates mucous membranes. It can also be applied externally, for dry skin, nails, and hair!

Olive oil contains 77% monounsaturated fatty acids, 14% saturated fatty acids and 9% polyunsaturated fatty acids, plus vegetable mucilage and Vitamin E. It can help lower your cholesterol levels, stimulate digestion and relieve an upset stomach, flatulence, and heartburn, it has antioxidant benefit, it is an excellent way to moisturize and even used to treat ear infections or earaches!

You can say that EVOO is a "miracle" in a bottle...  Okay.. Nuff with the talking and get to the point. I'm gonna share with you my main use for EVOO, of course there are other use for this stuff but I'm only gonna share with you what I personally do with it.

What I Did With Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)


A lot of my friends often ask me why I have an Apple Cider Vinegar on my cabinet or why I often buys it...

Hmmm....... They really miss a lot of its advantages!!

So today's I'm gonna share about what I did with apple cider vinegar and it's benefits. I've already listed some of the benefits of ACV itself here. ACV isn't expensive too, the 300ml bottle only cost around $3 (IDR 30.000) and the 1 liter bottle cost around $5 (IDR 50.000).

ACV Toner
I've already used ACV as a toner concoction for more than 6 months now and I'm proud to say that this was my HG toner so far. I do sometimes tries another store bough toner but ultimately this homemade toner is the best one for me. It works like a charm for my acne prone skin and helps with my backne too. In fact the first time I bought ACV is to cure my backne problem and then I used it on my face as a toner. You can find the toner recipe here and here.

Tutorial: Yoghurt and Oatmeal Mask for Acne


Dalam perjalanan melawan jerawat... Akhirnya aku mencoba untuk memakai bahan-bahan yang lebih natural. Udah browsing-browsing akhirny ketemu youtube bubzbeauty yang bilang kalo yogurt dan oatmeal itu bagus untuk jerawat. Kupikir bolehlah dicoba, klo gag cocok minimal yogurt dan oatmealnya bisa dimakan sendiri he he he.... Tapi resepny kumodifikasi sesuai dengan versiku.

Berikut resepnya, btw maaf gambarnya gag ada soalnya udah habis dimakan sendiri he he he....
  1. 2 Sendok makan plain yogurt, jangan yang ada rasanya loh. Aku beli yogurt yang di botolan tapi sebetulnya ini terlalu cair jadi pas dioles ke muka suka jatoh-jatoh gitu. Mendingan beli plain yogurt yang di kemasan cup.
  2. 1 sendok teh extra virgin olive oil, berhubung udah beli sekalian aja dipake
  3. 1 sendok makan madu supaya agak kental
  4. 2 sendok makan oatmeal bisa juga lebih atau kurang 
  5. Bahan-bahan dia atas dicampur di mangkok sampai berbentuk pasta trus dioles deh ke muka.
Optional:
  • Beberapa tetes olive oil.

Tips Melawan Jerawat

Hello....

Saatnya berbagi nih...

Kali ini aku mau berbagi beberapa tips yang aku sendiri lakukan dalam melawan jerawat.
  1. Bangun pagi bersihkan wajah dengan susu pembersih, cuci muka, lalu gunakan toner. Terkadang hanya menggunakan susu pembersih saja kecuali kalau malamnya menggunakan make up biasanya cuci muka lagi.
  2. Usahakan menggunakan masker minimal seminggu sekali untuk menutrisi wajah.
  3. Setelah cuci muka sebaiknya jangan mengeringkan wajah dengan handuk yang sering dipakai, lebih baik menggunakan tissue. Aku menggunakan baby wipes yang antiseptik dan non alkohol. Ini sangat membantu loh. Gpp keluarin uang dikit buat beli baby wipes daripada keluar uang banyak untuk obat jerawat???
  4. Sebisa mungkin cuci muka dengan menggunakan air matang jangan menggunakan air keran. Aku dapat saran ini dari teman kost dan ternyata cukup berpengaruh juga. Kalau aku menggunakan air mineral dari dispenser.
  5. Saat pulang di malam hari meskipun  super ngantuk dan capek jangan malas bersihin muka.
  6. Sering-sering ganti sarung bantal atau guling. Kalau stok sarung bantal/guling sedikit seperti aku yang anak kost, aku melapis bantal dengan taplak atau handuk kecil saat tidur. Setelah 2-3 hari taplak atau handuknya diganti lagi.
  7. Jangan malas pakai krim malam.
  8. Scrub wajah seminggu sekali.
  9. Kalau cuma di rumah aja sebaiknya poni dijepit atau menggunakan bandana supaya rambut tidak terkena wajah, aku baru ngeh karena suka ada jerawat di bagian pipi yang terkena rambut.
  10. Kalau mau membersihkan muka dengan susu pembersih jangan lupa cuci tangan ya supaya kotoran di tangan tidak menempel dan muter-muter di muka tuh waktu pake susu pembersihnya.
Semoga tips ini bisa membantu!!

    How To Prevent Tangled Yarn Collection

    Because I keep buying more and more yarn and sometimes didn't bother to tidy up the yarn stash, my yarn collection keep getting tangled all the time. So... to prevent it from happening again I bought a ziplock bag to put each of the yarn in it. That way I can jam the yarn however I like without having to worry about it getting tangled again.


    I bought this ziplock bag in a local supermarket but I think it can also be found in hardware store, cooking store, traditional market and plastic ware store. but apparently one skein of yarn could fit in too ^^.


    Thank's for coming by.
