My Face Story.

Acne had been a major concern since puberty...and it still is. It had been 13 years (it started when I'm 12) and I had tried almost all available face care in the market, seriously. Now at 24, they had subsides from frequent breakout to breakout before menses.

Though acnes problem has since under control, I'm left with these problems - oily skin, large pores, scars, rough skin and dark circles. I feel so envious with people who have nice skin like my bf. He has good skin and he only use tap water to clean his face and nothing else. Me on the other hand, need to source high and low for products that works for me.

Sometimes, they work...for a period of time. That's it. My face condition is because of my body and not external environment. Put blame on the hormone. I guess I might have that extra testosterone hormone which is responsible for acne development (read from somewhere). I guess I don't have much acne now is because of the more stable hormone composition.

Regarding my acne scars, I bought TCA peel (chemical peel) from US. Read excellent reviews from people who had use them. Even a friend of mine who use it says it's great. Cheap and efficient. I'd use them for 3 times by now and it's lessen the scar. However, you need to be brave to use it. Will do another post regarding this peel.

Oily skin problem. Until now I still can't solve it. Probably it can't be solve. Only manage to get it under control. I really hate the greasiness and it makes my fringe greasy, my face so shiny and 5 frequently make fun of my face, saying things like shiny "muka oren" (orange face). The large pores are probably the outcome of the oil.

Dark circle story. Probably it's inherited from my dad. My dad has dark circle. End of story. What I do is buying eye cream to nourish it. The "blackness" won't go away.

In many of my facebook photos, they are me with make up on. Make up is good in making me looking fresher and beautiful. But it's also tiresome. My nude face just look tired (even I had enough skin). Thank goodness for the invention of make up.

End of story. Thanks for reading this. If you have any good suggestion for me to improve my face condition, do let me know! :)
