So, there's a family in my church where both of the couple were doctors.. Mom's friend introduce my mom to her for the laser thingy to reduce wrinkles, pigmentation and even skintone with "Special" price.. Cheap tho.. So, I'm like interested in it..
The clinic is at Greentown, just next to Berlin Beer Houz which is called 'agnesheng dermatology'.. the Design inside is awesome, the nurses are friendly enough.. And not to mention the Dermatologist herself is gorgeous!!!
She's a senior consultant Dermatologist in the Goverment hospital, Ipoh
She asked me what's my problem and i pointed every single dissatisfaction about my face, LOL.. Consultation takes money okay, so must ask every single tiny thing.. She checked on to my face and say " I din see any big deal here, just some breaking out of acne, which is not a problem" .. I was like "REALLY? How come got this pigmentation here, got a tiny thing here n blah.." She patiently explained everything to me :)
Later on, i ask her about skincare, saying from my face, did she see is there a need for me to change my skincare products and blah....... END of result, this consultation is super worth it..and so, I would like to SHARE~~
1. It is very important to cleanse your face everyday and TONER is not necessary.. She pointed out that she dunno since when applying toner becomes a ritual.. But, Applying moisturiser is a MUST!
2. Most of the people thought that we only need to apply moisturiser only morning or before bed, which is WRONG.. you needa apply whenever you feel your skin is dry :)
3. After applying Moisturiser on your face, a MUST to apply sunblock, no need i teach right? and you needa reapply the sunblock on your skin every 3/4 hours when you are at outside.. do we need to apply sunblock even we do not go out? It is advisable to do so.. you dont want to have pigmentation when u are approaching 30years old right?
4. What if I'm wearing makeup and staying out all the long?? To this, you also needa reapply, bring cleansing wipes to remove the face makeups, or choose the powder compact with SPF.. so that u can touch up in the meantime.
5. Do not touch your face frequently!!!!! you see, i touch my face often ( to find some sense of comfort i guess), it happens that the part i always gently touch on darkens! it's so shit u see, there comes the uneven skin tone.. if u are wearing specs, do you notice there's a part somewhere near your nose there's something darken? To improve it, just dun touch it or try not to put something on your skin which causes it.. it will b improve, mayb for months~~
6. Cleanser are only to wash of the dirt from your face, it will not cause breakouts or cure any of those.. so, if you are having acne problem, consult the nearest dermatologist and ask as much question as u can (LOL, i do think of the questions to ask before the appointment).. Acne couldn't be control thru the acne products but yes, u needa consult for medication to improve..
7. Not every skincare products works on your skin, we cannot decide by seeing the ingredients of each and every product. You needa try on to see whether it is good for you, trial and error la it means.. So for this, I personally recommend that if u really wanna know which products suits u the best, buy Trial Sets!! Each Trial Sets i guess can tahan for like 1week, in this week, u observe the results.. Trial sets not really expensive tho.. i saw from forums, like the Laneige Trial Set which contains 6 products is just RM50+, so worth a try.. and you know, the packaging of the trial sets of any brands are cute!! Handy for travelling as well!
8. Not necessary expensive skincare is good.. You need to test and find out yourself. If you think those Garnier, Olay, and etc are no good stuff and were band according to resources from China that it contains chemicals that would harm your skin, you are wrong!! If there's really something wrong with the products, i believe they will not sell it on stores!! Plus, it's a product line from like P&G, unilever, and etc which gain alot of acknowledge from world.
actually, there's more.. LOL.. I posted these few out ya.. and you may check one article from her, published in The Star last thursday.. Click here for the article and read from it. It tells how important is moisturizers and the ingredients and more facts about the skincare routine.. Do check her out!!
So, i spent more than 30mins for consultation.. LOL.. come out with tonnes of knowledge about skincare.. and guess what, it's RM61 only~ weee... not to forget to mention a gel from her as well (buy one ah).. to prevent breakouts..and i've tried more than 6weeks! tell u my review on it next post ya? :)
Differin for my face.. Needa apply every night after moisturizer, it could be dry for my skin :) no harm trying right??
