improve my skin

i had glycolic peel with light diamond peeling yesterday and my skin is doing great! ill visit my derm again after two weeks for another less harsh treatment (diamond peel only).

for my scars, I use this phyto lightening serum (twice a day) that my derm gave me. she said she purchased the serum in the US? I searched online but I didnt find any info. It’s really effective though~ cause after using it for at least three days, I got a lot of compliments. And some of the compliments are awkward errr like when my grandmom’s dr is really staring at me like a stalker.

i also use this retinoic acid at night in .025% and this helps my zits under control.

i use hypoallergenic products for my cosmetics and since i am oily-acidic, i use powder based foundation like the VMV products. for eyemake up, my skin is not that particular. i use coastal scents palette. it realy helps that i already know how to apply make up.

overall, my skin is doing great. cant wait to be flawless. :)

My word I’ve had this goal a long time!

My skin’s really starting to get better now. The skin on my face is smooth and mostly clear… I can’t avoid the odd spot every now and then.

The top of my arms, shoulders and back are clearing up nicely too. The acne is still there but I’ve been trying to wash that area every day (the days I don’t shower) and it’s really working.

I have this weird rash as well, I’ve probably had it about six months now? I think it’s some kind of yeast infection. Anyway I’m off to the doctor on Tuesday about that so maybe this will be ticked off soon!

1. dermabrassion every 2 weeks or
2. fraxel – but this is soooo expensive :(

i need to maintain my zit free face before undergoing the fraxel too. Else, my money will be put to waste.

I have combination skin. I’m using PURPOSE facial cleanser, then Merlot Grapeseed moisturizer. About once a week, I use aspirin and a toothbrush to exfoliate my face.

I used MK in the past and it worked, but I feel like I had to use too many products, and my skin was never satisfied.

Now it’s time for some trial and error. It’s a combined approach. It;s been a month since I started using this product line for a month, and I’m still tweaking the products. I’ve found a night regimen that heals and improves my skin overnight, but the day part needs working out. My pores are shrinking and my skin looks smoother overall. There’s less oil during the day, but I still get irritations. I have more skin troubles when I don’t get my 8 glasses of water and 8 hours of sleep, so I really make an effort in those areas.

But, honestly, is it natural to wake up with a face like an oil slick? Under that layer, my skin looks great, and my makeup artist friend says it’s a good thing, that my skin is detoxing. That’s lovely, but can I narrow down what bad things I’m putting in my body in the first place?

Doing the acne.org regime every day, using AHA cream, and possibly getting some professional treatments later on.

i actually HAD the product for months, just didnt use it. and i dont have acne.. like at all, but i obsessively pick at any little bump on my skin, and they get worse and worse. ive got a couple little hole-like scars on my nose and such. i guess if i actually get rid of the tiny unnoticable bumps that there are, maybe i wont pick :/ but yeah, proactiv, today is day 3, and its already working quite well

I’ve started using the French skincare brand Avene, and it has been working wonders. Also drinking lemon water every day I believe is helping :) Much better than using Clinique.

my skin could be better…

last year I had a massive skin outbreak – chronic eczema due to stress. My skin is scarred and dry and crap – so I have to improve that. Will moisturise my whole body 3 times a week !
