Sacrifices for Beauty
How often do you go for a facial? Beauticians recommended twice a month or at least once a month. I’m wayyyyyy less than that. Something like once every 4 months or none at all 😳
I have oily skin on my forehead, nose and cheek. They called it ‘t’ junction. These few years, I’ve notice a few problem arises on my facial skin – freakles, stuck oil glands and dehydrated skin *shudder*. All these are sign of getting old. Yes! I’m getting old!!! Don’t even mentioned SKII. A bottle of cleanser is equivalent to my kiddos school fees.
The most common problem I had is stuck oil glands.
Make sure to get rid of the oil bag or else it will grow bigger and of course ugly too. It is a painful procedure but bearable. Hey, there is nothing as painful as labour pain ok.

WAH LAU!!! the beautician use the jarum to dug it out?
hey! you can use Ginvera Marvel Gel…it acts like exfoliating ..very very effective! i started using that 2 months ago..and i dun have these problems anymore, seriously! =)
The Queen says: This is the only way. Use the jarum to cucuk then korek! Ginvera Marvel Gel is to clear black heads. Oily moisturizer is the one that causes oil gland stuck.Â

I just ‘tekan’ my nose ‘kuat-kuat’ and all the stuck oil oozes out… hehehe 😉
Cheap solution compared to facial $$$$
The Queen says: Oil gland cannot tekan wan. I know what you meant. That is not oil gland. Go look at Kochun’s face. He got lots of oil gland. Those biji biji next to your eye or on your cheek bone.Â

i just try not to look at my face.. i wash my face daily (soap and water) and that’s it. if you don’t look, then you can’t see.. hehehehhee 😀
The Queen says: Normal soap will cause your skin to dehydrate. If you felt your skin tighten after washing, better stop doing that.Â
