HEYYYYY guysss I'm so far away from home now, I'm in AIMST University in Sungai Petani, Kedah ( Sungai Petani is translated as Farmer's Lake ). SO you can imagine how rural this place is. Not the easiest place for a person that came from a city-ish place. If you want me to talk about my uni, comment and give some feedback so I can entertain you in some sort of way! hehe ;)

Before getting into the tips, I'm no professional beautician of some sort, I'm just genuinely wanting to help ladies out there. I can't guarantee that these tips work on everyone because we are all made uniquely by God plus I'm sure that all of you out there are beautiful no matter what <3 Even if these tips doesn't work on your skin drastically, but I can ensure that these tips can improve your physical and mental health amazingly!

About my skin condition: I used to have tons of pimples on my forehead when I was Form 1 and it continued until I was Form 2. I had constant breakouts primarily on my T-zone and my face was very oily. Now being 18, I don't have any problems about my skin except that it's a bit oily and I have blackheads on my nose. I still get breakouts here and there, but it doesn't really leave a noticeable scar. I actually prayed really hard to have clear skin because it made me have no confidence. In a long run, God answered!! ( TOP TIP GUYS ) Other than that, I did make effort to improve my skin so here it is:

1. DRINK TONS OF WATER, LIKE TONS

If you know me well, you will know my green bottle well enough too because i literally bring it EVERYWHERE, e.g. church, lunch, shopping, school, meetings. I have my personal testimony which is when I was Form 3, I started using my dad's Herbalife bottle which can carry 2L of water. I challenged myself to finish the water everyday. It was hard at first because of the constant need to pee and the long wait at the water dispenser. Slowly but surely, I realized that I didn't breakout as much and no more entirely after that. After that, I was a "DRINK 2L OF WATER A DAY" advocate, I shared my testimony to everyone I know and eventually got my best friend into it. Other than having clear skin, drinking at least 2L of water can reduce possibility of headaches, give you more energy, flush toxins out and tons more. I used to have headaches so frequent, I thought there was something wrong with me. Turns out that I was just dehydrated. So guys BOTTOMS UP!

Life hacks: Get a big bottle (at least 1.5L), so you don't need to keep refilling your bottle. When in class, drink when you're bored, not only you won't fall asleep, but you'll be well hydrated!

2. STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE (unless you washed your hands)

How many times have you been reaching out to open a door or type on your phone in a day? This causes millions of germ to be on our hands and you would just occasionally transfer those germs to your face by touching it. Touching your face doesn't cause anything but it definitely worsens acne :( If you're acne prone, touching your face triggers breakouts. I know some of you loveeeeeeee to pick on your pimples or blackheads, thinking that scratching it off your face forcefully will make them magically disappear from your face. NO DONT EVER DO THAT! All that you're doing is making a hole on your face and inviting the germs in your fingernails to go inside. which causes inflammation which means MORE PIMPLES. Please don't do that to your face! I know that it's a hard habit to break (even for me), but just gross yourself out with your own imagination!

Extra tips: When you have a pimple that is very 'mature/cooked', with all the pus, use acne patches! Not only they don't really leave a scar, but it avoids any of your finger germs to get into your pimple!

PS: Compared to 3M, MIacare works better and it's more discrete HAH

Price : RM10.25

When you have breakout, put some pimple gel/cream, and it will lessen the possibility of it from inflaming. You can use diluted tea tree oil too.

PS: I actually swear by this product, it works slow but surely plus it smells great!

Price : RM 11.80

3. WASH YOUR FACE WITH A SUITABLE CLEANSER

Do you feel like your face is very tight every time after you wash your face?? No, it doesn't mean that your cleanser cleaned your face EXTRA CLEAN, but it actually means that made your skin extra dry! Constant use of it will strip the layer of natural oil of your face which is to keep your face hydrated. Without that layer, your face will feel like they need to work extra hard to 'produce more oil' which in the end makes your face extra oily and causes pimple :( Do break this cycle, use a kind cleanser which doesn't make your face feel tight after washing.

PS: I went through about 2 bottles of this already and have one more in stock. You can see how I approved of this product!

Price : RM 16.50

4. DO MASKS

No matter the cost, we need to take care of our skin. But don't worry, you don't need to break the bank by buying high-end masks, but you can do homemade facial mask! You'll probably have all the ingredients in the kitchen and if you don't, it really doesn't cost much (believe me, I seldom spend RM30 for a single item). And if you're the lazy type, just go to Sasa and buy like 10 sheet mask for RM 30? (sorry guys I'm not quite sure of the price)

Best homemade mask I've done is the BENTONITE CLAY + APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. Even tho it smells really terrible and stings your nose and eyes a bit, but after using it, i can just scrub off my blackheads with my towel. Sometimes I put turmeric for brightening properties, and sometimes I substitute ACD with rosewater for some rejuvenation.

Here are some examples, but there are plenty more on the internet that suits your needs. Remember that they are all natural ingredients so they might not have results as fast as store-bought masks. But trust me, they can do wonders!

Other than all these tips, please have a skin routine which at least consists of cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen. Start young people, or you'll regret that you didn't take care of your skin!
