Change your Hair Colour+ Skin Care Update

I like changing hair colour  but I don't think my hair can tolerate numerous chemical treatments if ever I decide to dye my hair from time to time. So what I do is simply edit my hair using photoshop and see which hair color looks good on me. ^__^  

I plan to make a tutorial for it. It's really fun. I plan to have a photoshoot with some friends soon so haha, this photoshop trick is quite handy. 

I also want to learn new tricks in manipulating photos. I guess I have to go back and find my DVD of Photoshop Top Secret. I forget already on how to make a psychedelic smoke. ^__^

Skin Care Update

I've mentioned before that I've been suffering from stress and breakouts lately. I've been so desperate in finding products that can help improve my skin and eliminate blemishes caused by acne. So right now, I am satisfied with the routine I have.

Ever since my first job, pimples start to break out on my face. At first they are tolerable because they're unnoticeable. But when my shift was changed into a graveyard shift, that's when it all started to be annoying. Pimples started breaking out on my cheeks and forehead. Worse, I even have pimples on the back of my neck. :( My first solution is to start using VMV again. I used VMV id toner everyday, morning and evening. When I finished my first bottle, I wasn't able to replenish my stocks so I stopped. When I saw that my pimples are getting worse, I hurriedly bought my second bottle wishing that this will work again. Unfortunately, it didn't clear/improve my skin after two weeks of usage. 

I don't want to put lots of foundation/concealer just to hide those stubborn pimples. I want to get rid of them. So I searched online and discovered Cyleina Black Pearl. I got so excited about this. If you've read my previous blog, you know I went gaga over this and bought 3 supreme soaps as my initial purchase. 

What a girl to do? Seller told me that I have to stop other products that I've been using for the first 7 days. And so I stopped using VMV id Toner and other soaps I used on my face. What I do is wash my face every morning and night using the black pearl soap. 

I rub the soap with my hands then gently massage my face. I don't wash it right away. I let it cool for a minute of two before rinsing my face with cold water. The smell is not bad but it doesn't appeal to me either. Aside from that, the cooling effect is really relaxing. Afterwards, I apply Olay Natural White Moisturizer to prevent my skin from drying up. SA said this soap can dry your skin so better use moisturizer and lotion after applying on your face and body!

Aside from the soap, I also use Himalaya Neem Face Pack. The smell is very strong and herbal but tolerable. At first it stings especially during initial application but it quickly fades away. My skin has tightened and after I rinse it, my skin feels smoother and softer. I only apply this every other day before I sleep. 

I look silly. -_-

After the 7 days, my pimples are dry and it's easier to apply make up. In fact I don't have to put lots of foundation to cover some areas. I still have blemishes on my forehead but I can hardly notice them. I think this routine worked for me. Despite ongoing stress and lack of sleep, I didn't have any breakouts. Hehe. I even forget to wash my face before I sleep because I'm so tired I just want to grab a pillow and sleep. zzzzz..

I'm not 100% sure that it's the black pearl or Himalaya or both. But I'll definitely continue this routine until I find a better one. I've read about Wine Peeling or something close to that in Ms. Lizz Buenaventura in her blog. I also interested in buying  the cleansing foam. I wanted to try those too but I guess I don't want to be buying too much stuff I can hardly finish. I have to finish my VMV toner first. ^_^ then maybe I can go and grab those HG products that they say. ^__^  Watch out for September and Sweldays! 

Anyway, have a great day, ladies!
