Skin care?
So many girls (and even guys too!) are so obsessed with their skin. I mean taking care of your skin is one thing but obsessing over it is another.
Obsessed with whitening or anti acne, and even anti aging. Seriously okay I get it if some people's skin are acne prone but do you really need whitening and all those stuff? The daily routine of cleaning, toning, moisturizing. Isn't it a pain really? I have tried that, it didn't really help my skin at all honestly. In fact it sort of made my skin worse in some cases. Can't say I used the wrong types cause my skin is a combination skin where it's normal and oily combined. I used Biotherm for combination skin, it didn't work. My skin produced even more oil than usual. Even used Avene, this wasn't so bad but I didn't see changes in my skin or anything, didn't really work then.
So I have naturally fair skin compared to most people around me, but it's not a big deal. You wanna be white? what's so good about it? I tell people you get sunburned easily, and it's easier to get darker too. Asians with the obsession of being white and white people want tans. The grass is always greener on the other side huh?
But honestly I do like my skin tone. And I have to thank my parents' genes cause I don't get pimples ever. HOWEVER I do get blemishes, red spots on my face, especially on my cheeks. And there's no secret in getting good skin.
Mostly important is to have enough water (yes yes traditional, old school too but it works). I'm the type that's really lazy to drink water. But recently I've been drinking lots because I'm sick (sore throat and stuff) so it does wonders.
Other than that, make sure the cloth you use to wipe your face is clean. There's no point in cleaning your face when the cloth you use is dirty right? and try not to touch your face much during the day, as your hands tend to get dirty. It keeps dust away.
For some people who likes to makeup, try not to apply too much? It prevents your skin from 'breathing' and clogs pores. It'll only get worse. Remove your makeup as soon as you can when you're home, with the correct steps and double cleanse. Makeup remover > oil cleanser > normal cleanser you use.
Simple ways of keeping your skin good without relying too much on those skin care products. Of course this method doesn't help everyone in general.
