Chin & Goh cannot mk it. in e end, my boss din go cos he had 4gotten abt it. i was e 1st 2 rch! i saw Audrey! she's v cute n pretti. her hair is short n alw puts on a smile.

Skincare - Spotless Skin & Fine Pores

Today, i will share with you the topic on freckles and open pores as taught by Barbie Hsu's beauty book - Mei Rong Dai Wang, Parts 2 and 3 of Chapter 3.

Spotless skin is the best skin!

Local famous actress - Jeanette Aw at JB

Many women are pissed off and upset when they see spots, sized of sesame seeds are scattered on their skin. Freckles are easy to cure but not those that you are naturally borne with. We can use masks to improve their condition. Barbie has two spots on her cheeks since young and she hates them. The doctor told her that unless she uses laser, else she cannot get rid of them. Laser can handle deep skin structure but she resisted it. As she needs to work every day, she cannot avoid makeup and the sun after the treatment. Moreover, after a few months, the spots may regrow. It will be very troublesome to keep going for treatment! Therefore, if you have difficulities to remove any spots like hers, Barble suggested that you use masks to lighten them or a concealer when you wear makeup.

Secret to Fine Pores

Big pores are not nice and affect healthy skin. So no matter what, Barbie Hsu will not allow it to happen! Once they enlarge, they will get bigger. Usually, such pores can store impurities easily. So we must solve the problems of acnes before minimising them. Most of us think that one should not squeeze pimples. But if you do not do that, they will always remain there and it will be useless to use alot of pore reducing products!

Depending on the depth of your zits, scrubbing your skin regularly can correct the shallow ones effectively. For deeper ones, she advises you to use a pimple remover that is shaped like a needle. How? See below:

Needle-shaped Pimple Remover

Step 1

Wash your face with lukewarm water.

Step 2
Spread a warm towel over your face for a few minutes to slightly open your pores.

Step 3
Sterilize the round part with alcohol or tea tree oil. Do note that tea tree oil is not suitable for sensitive skin.

Step 4
Place the round part of the pimple remover on your pimple and press lightly to remove it.

After eliminating all zits, it's time to minimise pores!

If you still cannot clear those stubborn acnes, please go and seek help from a dermatologist. Barbie strongly discourages the usage of pore strips to remove blackheads and whiteheads. She had torn her skin after peeling the strips off her nose! For ladies with oily or over-sensitive skin, she urges you to use essence liquids to moisturize skin as they have finer quality than gel types.

Barbie Hsu's Recommended Toner for Sensitive Skin

Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner

Some facial products consist of alcohol that can irritate sensitive skin and make it itchy. Kiehl's cucumber herbal alcohol-free toner is gentle and comfortable to use when applying it on your skin. Barbie uses it every day and feels that her pores are getting smaller day by day! :)

Where can you find such a good office environment??? Lol.

few days ago, a contractor treated us lunch at Dolphins Tavern at 22 Jalan Selaseh! i was excited n happi of cos lol. i ordered e traditional fish and chips set meal while my 3 collics n e contractor Kurobuta pork loin. for starter, we had e prawn salad. alamak, there were oni 4 prawns so i sacrificed lol. but it was cos i was shy 2 'kope' it la. e salad was jus normal 2 mi wif fresh mayo n lettuce. i din tk e asparagus cos i dun lk.
