<![CDATA[Looking after our skin]]>I saw on the TV a few days back on the show - "Queen 女人我最大". They mention about start looking after our skin as young as possible so that we can also maintain at that age. Just wondering how many of us really start doing the basic things such as cleansing, toning, moisturing, etc from as young as 20?


I just started using a series of facial products. They also believe in maintaining, preventing and repairing. So the idea is also start young so that can look younger when old. If start at 30, when 50 will still look at 30.

When I was younger, I was just busy working and looking after my kids. I must admit, only recently, after my 3rd kids, then I start taking note of my skin.

Just wondering the parents here, how many actually take effort to look after the skin? And if really start young, really will stay younger??

My vainpot maid had serious freckles on her cheeks. She apply some cream over it for a month and I saw her skin peeling then voila!! Beautiful new skin. Now that she no longer work for me, I don't know whether the freckles came back but I m sure it will be lighten for sure.


I have freckles on my cheeks...can't seem to do anything even though I go for facials.
So I apply sunblock each time before going out. With the scorching sun 😢 , we better look after our skin even more.

Shoe:
Have never been on a facial except for the time just before my wedding? Any places to recommend?

There is one place that I have been going to since I was in university and they have helped me a lot with my skin. Their products are very good but expensive. Although they seem a bit 'cheena' kind, the beauticians there are professional and there is this ampeel (I think spelt wrongly) that really works wonders haha- my frown lines are gone and open pores really almost non-existent..it is located at amk central. If you are interested, I could give you their number, the name of the shop is ibeauty. Look for Yu Mei, she is the boss.

After give birth, skin back to normal, pimples appear as usual like before pregnancy. Think is because of hormones.

jj_1808:
Beofre you go facial, you should ask yourself what is your main concern....normally, I can say that facial is to maintain youth and deep cleansing.


As for me, I have a lot of problems on my face since teenage and it takes me very years to get treated....it is not easy to find goods products and salon who really treat your skin....

So if you like some tips, tell me what is your main problems.....

I have been to many facial centres before too. When I was in my teenage years, I always have a lot of pimples & acnes. When come to my pregnancies, it became worst. My back also had big acne, it often burst with blood oozing out. But then after my 2nd pregnancy, miracle happened! My skin became v.good, no more pimples anymore. My skin became flawless.

4years+ after my 2nd pregnancy, my skin is till ok (as in no more pimples). But then aging appear, or is it due to exposure to sun? I did apply sun block. And I also has milia around my eye.

Carebear,
So you don't wash the tomato off your face, but let it dry? Doesn't it stain your sheets?
No,it doesn't as i let it evaporate first before going to bed.

LKVM:

[quote=\"carebear\"]I use a facial scrub twice a day and baking soda nightly, together with the scrub before i go to bed daily. Once a week, i rub tomato all over my face.

Daily, i use eye cream, moisturizer and spf 50 sunblock. At night, my face is left to \"breathe\" without applying anything on it.

baking soda :?

Yup, baking soda has a bleaching effect.
It is very cheap! 😄
Tomato has fruit acids.
I usually rub tomato on my face, let it dry and then go to sleep.
Next morning, my face is smooth and refreshed.
But cannot use it too often because of the fruit acid.[/quote]Carebear,

cngohlinda:
For egg white mask I felt that there will be an aftermath smell, which is not very pleasant. Cucumber can pose itchiness for those with sensitive skin, given the content of citric acid.

Add a few drops of lemon to mask the smell.

However i really like tomato mask. The next morning my skin is clean and shiny, as though the mask has \"eaten up\" the dead cells.
I do feel a little stinging sensation in some sensitive areas but i use a tissue paper to pat it dry.
