I’m a little over two months into my Ro-Accutane treatment at this juncture in time, and my skin is definitely improving. To speed up the process, I’m supplementing inner care with some outer care as well. Apart from the usual cleansing and moisturising, I’ve recently added another treatment step to my daily skin care routine. … Continue reading »

Review: Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick (4 Natural)
Concealers – can’t live without them! Sometime ago I reviewed Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage (review here), which while a good product, felt a bit inefficient as it was a dual-color concealer. So I went back to my very first concealer, the Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick.
Review: Clinelle Deep Cleansing Gel
This product was probably the reason why we got into blogging. On my personal blog, I wrote about Clinelle’s products and ksuan read my posts, eventually suggesting that we should start beauty blogging. I used Clinelle several years ago, as advised by my dermatologist. Now I’m back on it and it’s been my staple ever … Continue reading »
The Adult Acne Diaries: The Continuation
Awrighty folks. I’m continuing the course (I finished the first month last Sunday, 12th August) and went for a follow-up on Saturday, 18th August. My dermatologist gave me heaps of advice and sent me away with 21 Roaccutane pills, telling me to stick with the same once-a-day-every-alternate-day routine. However, I can adjust it eventually to … Continue reading »
Review: Esmeria Organics Alpine Willowherb Moisturizing Lotion for Oily & Acne Prone Skin
Following my favorite Esmeria Organics facial cleanser here, I expected the moisturizer to become a firm favorite too. Here’s how it looks like:
The Adult Acne Diaries – Days 9-12
Hullo everybody! I think I can start cutting down the frequency of updates so as to not make things so boring. Here’s what’s been happening. Food and Drink: The important thing is to eat as healthily as possible – get in between 3-5 servings of veg/fruits a day, drink lots of water (I range from 1.8 … Continue reading »
The Adult Acne Diaries: Days 7 & 8
DAY 7 What I’m Feeling: So far so good. Skin isn’t as irritated as before (it used to sting all sorts of types) but it stings a little when I put moisturizer on. I’m starting to resemble an onion though. Without makeup, my skin texture itself appears smooth (with the exception of dotted scars here and … Continue reading »
The Adult Acne Diaries: Days 5 & 6
DAY 5 What I’m Feeling: Regretting my itchy fingers from last night – I had subconsciously scratched the protective scabby layers of my zits and they’re really raw, so it hurts a lot. Lips are super dry but no substantial increase in body dryness. I also went to bed last night without washing my hair … Continue reading »
The Adult Acne Diaries: Days 3 & 4
DAY 3 What I’m Feeling: Eyes feeling tired and dry, but it may also be due to my falling ill. Skin looks the same, with the exception of two spots underneath my left eye which have subsided but left some scarring behind. I admit that I usually pick at my pimples but will try to … Continue reading »
The Adult Acne Diaries: Days 1 & 2
DAY 1 (nighttime – that’s when I started taking Roacc) Food: I took my Roaccutane at night right after dinner. Roaccutane apparently works best after a high fat meal as it has a high level of lipophilicity, so I had a seafood pizza, eggplant and chicken salad, and cod fish salad from Ben’s Grocery Store … Continue reading »
