day 10 no makeup

Even though it's been more than a week with naked face, but sometimes I still feel shy and insecure. I do feel my skin is getting better though due to my uncontrolled diet these past few days, I get new pimples, but still getting better. What I would like to is getting rid of the scars. But I'm still grateful about it.

The person who helps me through this misery is bf. ‎​‎​he's been so nice and sweet, telling me that it's better everyday and even when I complaint about the new pimple, ‎​‎​he said ‎​‎​he couldn't see it. Love him very much xoxo

Btw I just found out that Laneige released their bb cream last month in singapore. Actually I already over bb cream, but someone mentioned that this one is less thick than other bb creams got my attention. Maybe Missha PC clog my pores because it is very creamy. After all I've used Laneige essence and moisturizer and they were good, maybe this time I'll have my luck? I'm still deciding whether I'm going to order or not. The price is quite steep SGD 49 for 50ml. It has SPF 41 which means it can act as a sunblock, contains anti aging and whitening which would be good for my acne scars, hehe...

day 3 no makeup

I do feel not using foundation n bb cream helps my face. It's getting better though there's still active pimples and not to forget the scars. So my face is still red everywhere.

I really want to do chempeel, but I know better to wait till all of my pimples dry up then have the treatment.

day 1 no makeup

So I really did put no foundation/ bb cream this afternoon. Only sunblock n loose powder. Feel hideous. Bf helped a lttle by saying it's nothing much. Luckily we only going to several places today and I don't need to go inside with him, except for lunch and bank.

needing confidence

I'm going back to my NO foundation/ bb cream/ powder foundation routine..I used this routine and did see improvement on my skin, but then I had 3 huge bumps on my chin on my bday so I used powder foundation. it helps alot to camouflage it, so I continue using something to cover my acne.

Like I said on my last post, I think Missha PC bb cream did help with my pimples but it also clogged my pores. thogh the pimples that I got is located near my existing ones, so it could be because I wasnt clean it properly (afraid to pop the pimple if I massage to hard).

But last night I've decided to go bare, with only sunblock and Marcks loose powder. I don't remember reviewing this powder, but I'm quite sure it doesn't make my condition worse. These past few days I've been thinking of ordering Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick, NARS laguna/orgasm or Shu Uemura Pro Concealer, and then it hit me.. Do I want to keep on piling my face with lotsa makeup? I admit makeup makes me look prettier. You can see a big difference on me, but I realized eye makeup contributes 60% of that. And I do still use eye makeup, it's just I'm quitting face makeup.

I will still use it for special event/ occasion. But not for my daily life. I've told my bf about it and he agrees, well I know he will because all this long he've been telling me that makeup is bad and it was my fault that my skin is ruined. I also told him that I need him to support me and give me courages, because to tell you the truth I lack it alot.

Recently I'm also eager to pop my pimples. even if they pop by themselves, I always squeeze it hard to get the white dirt out. I know it's not good, just can't control my hands. I'm trying to stop right now.

dunno what to feel

I'm confused with my regime. When one part of my face looking better, there's a new one on the other part. That happens over and over again. And I also learn that it is better to use Mediklin TR only on the papule and pustule. Don't use it on bumps. I didn't know before and used it on bumps, causing them to inflamed really bad and took longer time to heal. And I prefer to use Mediklin TR only on the pimples that really need extra medication. If not, I stick with clindamycin n retin a.

The missha bb cream really helps to dry out my pustules. If the pustule is new, it helps to grow it till its maximum size. If the pustule has already reach the maximum, it'll dry out till the pus changes color to green.

Although it's good, I still dunno if I should continue using it. I suspect it cause clogged pores on me, but have to monitor longer to really know about it

day 12

I've been using my Missha M Perfect Cover bb cream since yesterday. It's been a heart pain everytime I open my traincase and see it laying around there. So far it helps drying out my pimples. But I still have lotsa pimples on my face. Hopefully bb cream would help me get rid of this misery forever.

I'm still waiting for my friends confirmation to order Skin Food Aloe bb cream so we can share the postage fee

day 10

Still having papules and pustules due to tretinoin purging. This morning after I wash my face, I could see clogged pores besides my nose, so I decided to took them out. Not really successful attempt, have to many clogged pores :( really hoping tretinoin would help shrinking my pores.

day 8

I woke up this morning with 3 pustules on my chin. The papules I had the night before turns into pustules, which I thought is good. After I wash my face this evening, they shrunk. And just now one of them dried up and I peeled the dead skin, made me able to see the dirt clogging my pore. So I took my extractor and give a little press to get it out. Right after that I saw a small pustule next to the clogged pore so I extracted it and the pus burst out, hehe... Use Clearasil toner to dried the blood then I add Clindamycin gel to the spot.

day 7

I went out the whole day today, put on my sunblock at 8am and rinsed it off at 9pm. So tired right now but I can't sleep yet.

my face feels so dry, taught n it hurts a little bit especially around my chin. I guess this is because I didn't get the chance to use my SK2 FTE this evening.

My cheeks are now left with red acne scars, still have active pimples on my chin n jaws. The good news is my 2 big nodules already subsided, leaving brown marks that gets better everyday. But the pimples or should I say papules on my chin n jaws are quite big :( have to be patient.

I really hate using foundation right now. Even with my HG foundie, Revlon Colorstay, I still feel to heavy. Don't understand how did I use it everyday for the past year. Thinking of trying The Skin Food Aloe Sun bb cream, but I kept in reminding myself that I must save up for my next shopping.

day 6

I haven't give any update on Retin A & Mediklin TR these past few nights. I still having comedones coming out from their sleep on both cheeks and my chin. Chin looks ugly rite. Hopefully it will go away soon.

The good news is the papule on my forehead started to shrink though it still looks brown. Hoping the giant papules on my chin would follow :)

Met my besties at TP. Had a great time there. Fenny told me since she started using TSF Aloe BB cream, her pimples lessen. Kose mask also helps. Wanted to try, but I'm broke. I shopped a lot lately, Bobbi's mini compact foundie, brush guard and MUS buffing brush. The seller told me she has sent the brush guard n buffing brush yesterday, I hope I'll receive them tomorrow. Can't wait to try MUS brush.

day 2

When I woke up this morning I saw my big pustules completely dry and just a matter of time till they fall off. My big nodule on chin didn't hurt anymore. The papule on the side of my nose starting to show the pus.

Tonight my big pustules has fell, leaving the red marks there. The papule still show a little pus but it shrunk. The one things that bother me are the papule on my forehead still there, no changes. Then there's the redness on my cheeks are still there. And the last thing the chin nodule, it looks red. I could still feel the hard nodule inside although it doesn't hurt anymore.

So I decided to only apply Mediklin TR on the really need it. Btw I'm experiencing purging from Retin A, nothing major, hopefully not, hehe...

day 1

Yesterday I blogged about my new acne care regime, tonight I'll give my first update on it.

My big pustules dried up although they're still there. I called it big pustules because it's not a cyst, still a pustule but bigger than my usual pustules. The papules flattened a bit, the redness reduced. So far so good, but it's still the first uses. Hopefully this regime works :)
