All my life I have always thought I have the oiliest skin ever! Everytime I purchase beauty products I'll always go for combination to oily or acne prone line. But my skin stays oily and at the same time you can see some fine lines. It looks dry but sooo shiny. Tried every product - from expensive one (Mary Kay, Clinique) to cheap one (Ponds, Garnier, Loreal). As for facewash I used Acneaid for a very long time.
Then when I got pregnant, my face become worst. It will seems so dry, yet oily at the surface and I was having breakouts. It went on until I was 7 months pregs (at one point I was contemplating on buying SKII products but sooo very the expensive for me la). Then one day I changed my facewash to this:
This really works on me. My face do not feel tight after washing anymore and it feels much more softer. And guess what? I do not look dry anymore and the surface oil is not so bad. The conclusion that I made: I have self-diagnosis my type of skin incorrectly. I don't have oily skin but the harsh products I used cause my skin to produce more oil.
Time to change all my products than. So these are the products I've been using for about 2 months:
Very good stuff. My skin looks sooo much better (of course I still have the occasional breakouts but it wasn't so bad anymore). Yahoo!
I try to used this scrub and mask at least once a week.Another great product:
Minyak zaitun SafiI've been using more than dozen of this minyak since I found out I was pregnant. I use it to massage my tummy, my bum2 and thigh. As for now, I'm still stretch mark free (touch wood!). Why use good ol' olive oil? It is much easier absorbed by skin and much much easier on the wallet. So if I am meant to have some stretch mark at any point in my pregnancy at least nda sakit hati sangat la...
Lesson learned: Great products doesn't have to be expensive.
P/S: I'm taking a day off today eventhough I just had a very looong cuti raya. The reason: I did not sleep well last night and woke up this morning feeling so tired...now okay sudah, can blog already ;)
