you guys need to be shy meh?
Why you guys still got this stereotype thoughts?
People is always self-concious about themselves. True story/fact.
Everybody doesn't care about others except themselves.

At my country or here in Malaysia (hostel) i always wash my face infront of strangers.

I've been using Oxy Deep Cleansing Wash for a long time, its the best cleanser for me. I used to have many pimples popping out everyday, but after using it it ceased. And the thing I hate about cleansers is that they make my face really dry, but this cleanser doesn't, and it contains vitamin C that makes my face fairer through time and vitamin E that maintains the elasticity and freshness of my face.

OH i just bought oxy deep cleansing wash that came with oxy oil control wash.
Just wonder your Oxy deep cleansing wash can avoid oily skin or not?
I just got a Oil control toner as well. Hope its work

It does have some effect I guess, but I usually use bloating tissues to get rid of excess oil when I'm outside. I use whitening toner from Loreal as well.

Dear sifu,

i have oily and dry skin,
which one should i go for? sad.gif

I have that type of skin as well. When I'm outside, I literally sweat a lot and my face is damn oily. But when I'm inside my room at home, my skin tends to be very dry especially after I cleansed and toned my face. Need to apply moisturizer whenever I'm inside an air-conditioned room.

I have tried this before, the doctor recommended this to me. But personally I do not like it as it is over-drying for me.

Well for vitamin C serums, Nanowhite has them. I've tried them, not much effect. Recently I bought the HadaLabo whitening series which is quite popular among women, anyone fond of them?

try using shaving cream instead of foam. aloe vera gel does a good job too in calming the skin after shaving.

Lab Series shud be alright. just remember to get a product that suits ur skin type.

there shud be no prob in using diff brands.

Hey Jonny, is it possible to use oil clear sheets/control films when the sunscreen is applied? or will it remove its properties

it's possible and i do this on a daily basis. im sure some of the sunscreen is removed but i think the amount removed is small n won't affect the protection level. as long as u do not go n blot every hour, 5-6 times a day. once sunscreen is applied give it at least 15 mins to absorb.

also a sunscreen that is waterproof n sebum resistant would be better and wont be removed so easily with blotters.

I see, thanks for your advice. Is it possible for your face to be oily even with the sunscreen on?

mainly depends on how oily ur skin is and the type of sunscreen used. most japanese milky type sunscreens do control oil to a certain degree...but i dun think there r sunscreens that totally stop the face fr getting oily. i dun think that is healthy. mostly sunscreens that boast about their oil control abilities contain a lot of silicone n powder. they will keep ur face matte but they r often very drying n extremely difficult to remove. that was my exp with Biore Perfect Face sunscreen. IMHO guys just can't really carry that matte look coz its just looks too fake n ppl will start suspecting that u apply some kind of makeup haha.

currently i use Shiseido Multi Defence UV Protector SPF50 and i really like it. decent oil control without looking too artificial n easily washed off with cleanser. water resistant also. downside is d price.

How much is the sunscreen? Do you apply it everyday? Gonna try it out, the reviews of that product is really good.

can get rid of blackheads with those stick on pore strips n clay mask.

u can get rid of oil with stuff like oil blotting sheets, oil control gels/lotions, mattifying sunscreens n makeup. but no way to cure oily skin permanently. usually once u reach around 30 skin will get less oily. but in hot humid Malaysia oily skin is normal la.

i use blotters n mattifying sunscreen to control my oily skin.

Haven't bought a bottle more den a yr coa its too drying for my skin. i f i remember correctly the sunscreen is around RM25-30, depending whether or not got sale. u r referring to the Biore sunscreen ?

I meant the Shiseido's sunscreen, much appreciated

Anyone knows any good whitening moisturizer/cream/gel? I'm trying to whiten my skin however my skin is a combination of oily and dry , so I'm looking for a whitening moisturizer that really hydrates my skin and also has a good whitening effect. I've tried many whitening moisturizers such as HadaLabo,Loreal,Garnier, Clean and Clear and so on, but my skin is still very dry after application, so usually I'll have no choice but to apply my usual moisturizer, which does not whiten my skin.

to remove it in a single minute is those nose strips which stick on nose and peel off after awhile.
for permanently and long term, you shd do scrub and mask after shower. that's work better  icon_idea.gif

Do those nose strips really work? I do have some visible blackheads in my nose, but the strips never seem to extract them out, I usually can just see a few blackheads along with facial hairs when peeled out

taking multivitamin can cause breakout?
idk tis..do u take it in normal amount or u overdose it?


Added on September 2, 2012, 12:42 pmok...just google..n get tis
The three main components of multivitamins that appear to have a negative effect on acne are vitamins B6, B12, and the mineral iodine. The problem here is that normal doses of these substances are necessary to function properly. The use of multivitamins, especially those with an enhanced B-complex (usually much more than the 100 percent recommended amount) and iodine fortified products (salt and through cow ingestion, milk) lead us to take much more than the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) suggested amount. Several studies, including a 1991 study by EF Sheretz, showed that a high dosage of the B6 and B12 vitamin led to an acne reaction that was resistant to typical acne treatment

It is usually taken once per day. Since my multivitamins are expiring soon and I would not wanna waste time. I tried taking them like once a week or once a month, but it still still causes breakouts. Once I take them, on the next day my face would be filled with red giant pimples. IMO its too heaty.

It depends on your skin bro, my friend takes multivitamins on a daily basis and he has no problem whatsoever. My face especially the t-zone gets very oily whenever i wake up too. I tend to apply a light moisturizer at night, and use face blotters to control the oiliness. You could also try to cleanse your face more often.

My skin gets really dry to the point that there are flakes and cracks if I don't use my moisturizer / toner for days. Haiz
