For me definitely sunscreen

what other tips to slow down aging? supplements?

Ulam

Nasi ulam?
What flower in particular?

- Argan oil
- Exfoliate regularly

I use organic shea butter but why it gives me pimples? Huh.

Collagen.
Hyaluronic acid.

Is yours mixed with anything else or 100% pure? Refined or unrefined type? West African or East African shea butter?

But frankly, the result depends on a lot of factors especially the extraction process & method of extraction. I usually equate it with cooking cause it's very similar. There's so many nasi lemak sellers around, but why not all the nasi lemak taste the same? Some are nicer while some are hardly edible. Some even sent you camping at your toilet. Why the difference even though they're all nasi lemak? It's because of the different cooking process & the cooking method.

I tried my competitor's shea butters before, somehow it remained greasy for a much longer time even though it's supposed to be same like mine. Then some are still grainy while mine's smooth like the butters in our fridge. So yea, it's still gives different results

Don't give up on all shea butters yet

100% unrefined west african shea butter.

Greasy and smells , but not too bad.

Try another source lo

Greasy is definitely, it's butter after all. But the one I'm using, gets absorbed in after massaging it on my skin for few minutes. Then I can play with my phone & keyboard warrior without any stains

Smell wise, that's its natural scent lo if it's unrefined.

seems many people use argan oil. how to put it in my routine? like night or day ?

those collagen drink or sleeping mask with collagen?

do u mean by those capsules or liquid?

Do not expose to direct sunlight/ enough sleep.

It's just an oil, massage it into your skin. Your skin will practically drink it lol.

But different people different result la, I've heard some people who experienced break out after using Argan oil cause it's too rich for them?

Argan is in trend at the moment, that's why it seems many people are using it. But there's a lot of fakes & inferior Argan oil floating around too. Genuine pure one should be roughly RM200-300 per 100g.

The new upcoming trend should be moringa oil.

Collagen drink.
Easy to apply makeup on the skin (skin feels smoother) since I started collagen.

However I'm battling with cystic acne.
Hormonal reason or just plain sensitive skin.
Collagen doesn't help to improve the acne, or the scars.

Not sure what's the best skincare for cystic acne scars.

If hormonal acne ive has good results by taking evening primrose oil capsule. What brand collagen drink? I used to drink kinohimitsu brand

I use Kinohimitsu too and Lennox (powder based).
Really? Could you tell me the brand of the epo?

Oh I only tried 5 bottles and gave up cause it causes me some bumps not sure why. I use blackmores brand. Now each time my period come not much breakout if compared when I'm not taking EPO

Hmm.....cystic acne could be caused various reasons e.g. clogged pores, trapped bacteria, blackheads (which may lead to the earlier mentioned 2).

I would suggest

1. Deep cleansing - need a good cleanser for this to clear clogged pores
2. Control sebum production - try neroli (aka bitter orange aka orange blossom) water
3. Nourish/heal the cyst - try tamanu oil, it stinks but it has good healing/repair properties
4. Moisturize - your skin is oily, dry or combi? Try something lightweight that doesn't clog your pores, argan oil perhaps?
5. Exfoliate - gotta remove those dead skins.

Actually what's your daily routine now?
