Garlic

Have u ever heard about garlic? if u havent, im sure u never cook, hahaha.. Garlic is usually used for cooking. But do u know that garlic can help to get rid of acnes? Thats one thing that i didnt know in the past, and now i love it!!

What u need:
- a little piece of garlic *i usually use the garlic that smaller than my little finger*
- knife
- small bowl and a spoon
- clean face

What to do:
- Remove the skin of the garlic and smash it using the side of the knife, so it break apart not solid anymore
- Add 3 teaspoon of water and mix it together while still crushed the garlic using the back of the spoon. *dont crushed it till it become too soft*
- Clean your face like usual and dry it using a towel
- Put the solution to your spotted area *area with acnes*, at the end, put the remains of the garlic to your acnes*
- leave it for 5-10 minutes *dont leave it too long coz it can leave black spot to your face, remove it if u cant stand it anymore*

Review:
At first, when u only put the solution without any garlic remains, it already feel little stink. But when u put the garlic remains, thats what i called stink!! totally stink!! Just remove it when u cant stand the stink anymore. I suggest u just put it for 5-10 minutes. Dont leave it too long, or it will make your face like burnt and leave the black spot. I only do it once a day, because it quite strong.

For u that doesnt like garlic, the annoying part maybe in its smell. Coz it smell so hard and the smell cant remove easily even though u have washed your face after that.

After a while i’ve been using it, i can feel that my acnes totally shrink. It shrink my acnes so fast, and now i just have to dry it and recover the red spot. It totally works!!

Price:
I dont know how much it cost, but u can buy it at the market and use the others for cooking, rite? But i can say, it completely cheap and very easy to get!!

Will i buy it again?:
Totally!! But use it only if u think u really need it coz it quite strong. I suggest for moderate type of acnes.

Lavender Essential Oil

Have u ever heard about lavender essential oil? If u like to use aromatherapy, im sure u’re very familiar with this thing. Actually this is used for aromatherapy, but i got another information that it can help to fade the red-spot acnes. So, i gave it a try.

What u need:
- Pure lavender essential oil *remember, the pure one!*
- Clean face

What to do:
- Clean your face just like usual, and dry it using a towel
- Put lavender essential oil in the spot area *area that contain acnes, red-spot acnes*
- Leave it just like that *i usually use it before i go to sleep, so i leave it till next morning*

Review:
At first, i can feel the minty sensation on that spot area but not so annoying. It will disappear after a while. After several days i used it, i can feel that my acnes dry faster and red-spot things fade out even though not completely fade away. But, i think it also cause my face become drier too, so i just use it once a day, im afraid my face will dehidrate badly.

The other positive thing about this product is the smell. I like its smell, and relaxing on me Can i say that im doing aromatherapy while also recover my acnes? hahahaha

Price
I just bought it not much than Rp 10000,00. Very Cheap!! U can buy it at aromatherapy store, actually the price is vary, but im so lucky that i can buy it at the cheap price. I dont know how much it contain in a bottle, but i bought the smallest one and i havent used 1/3 of a bottle even though i used it so often. Very great deal!!

Will i buy it again?:
Absolutely!!! Very great deal! and works well on me. I totally recommend u to use this product.

Review:
The packaging is like a small bottle *and yeah it really small*, that contain like 2 separate things. Some kind of liquid and residue. So before u use it, u need to shake it to mix it together. My first impression is the smell. It really stink, very sulphuric smell.

I use cotton pad before i apply it to my face. When u put it to your face, u can feel the minty sensation. And if u have *just explode acnes*, it really stink. From the review that i’ve read, they said that the “miracle” one is in the residue, which looks like yellow dust, so i put my acnes with full of that residue. After a while, my eyes feels stink too, even though i didnt put it near my eyes. So i just close my eyes for a while till that stink things go away. People also say, dont use it too often coz it will dry your skin, so i just used it once a day before i go to sleep.

When i woke up the next day, im so shocked! Coz my acnes became much bigger and so much red and im so annoyed. Im quite depressed but i still use it for a couple days after that. And yeah, it actually help to ripe the acnes, thats why it will grow bigger and much red-color. It can help me to get rid of my acnes that almost fade out. But for the acnes that just grow, it took so much time and i really cant stand over the big and red acnes. For the part without acnes, but get this liquid, it cause dry badly, really really bad.So i wont recommend u too use it too often, and always use your moisturizer to help this driness.

After i used it for a bottle, i still stand to buy another bottle. But since i dont really think it quite work on me, so i dont use it anymore.

Price:
I bought it around Rp 13000,00 for 12ml. Cheap, rite? Thats why i bought it

Will i buy it again?:
I dont think so, cause i’ve found other thiings that works better on me.

Acnes Remedies

Sorry i haven’t been blogging lately, its all because i’ve been so busy with my final assignment. Nearer the due date to gather my assignment, more busy i am. And in this hard situation, i still got another problem. Since my last trial for bb cream, *coogi flowertox* , it broke out my face badly. May be the worst break out i’ve ever felt *and hopefully never again*. If u ever watched cartoon or read comics called “Candy Candy”. Thats how i describe my face now. I’ve got so many red-acnes especially around my cheek area, follow by so many whitehead. Im so stress out, cause i’ve never felt this way before. My family and friends as shock as i am. They’re freak out with my face since i usually have flawless face. Im so frustated and felt deepest regret for trying many products

Since that time, i did more googling how to get rid these acnes. There are so many options available actually but i got limited money because i havent got my own job and my shopping habit really bad lately. So i narrow down my option to the cheap one, Mukjizat Tolak Jerawat from Sariayu. *i will give the complete review about this product another time*. It can help me to get rid my acnes, but it needs quite a long time and since im so impatient so i tried another things. From the googling that i’ve done, i found website www.acne.org that really helpful. This website give quite complete things about acnes like types, prevention, how to get rid of acnes, etc.

From the information that i’ve been read, this time i wanna try the natural one. I choose lavender essential oil. It really help to dry the acnes but not so fast too but i can say its better than mukjizat tolak jerawat. Then i tried garlic, it works like wonder!! My acnes dry so fast. But u cant leave it too long or it will burn your face and leave like black spot. Now my face is much better, so i dont use garlic anymore since it quite strong. But i choose mask from mentholatum acnes then i use lavender oil. It really help in the recovery for my red spot-acnes. Actually, i’ve been waiting for my Paula Choice BHA’s sample since it say that can help in exfoliate your skin so i guess it will help me in recover my face. Now the sample has arrived, so i just use my mentholatum acnes clay mask follow by BHA from paula choice. These are some of the photos that i’ve taken..

Here is the photos that i’ve taken quite some time after i used mukjizat tolak jerawat. Its better than the first time i got this breakout. Mukjizat tolak jerawat makes the acnes to be ripe and it cause the acnes become very red as u can see. But these acnes havent been flatten so in real my face looks like have so many seeds. So whenever i put some foundation on my face *coz im so not confident to go outside in this bad condition of my face, but i recommend u not using any makeup actually during breakout*, it cant look smoothly because the surface isnt flat. Badly the photos is quite blur, but i can say it much worse than that.

Here is another photo that i’ve been taken quite some time after i using lavender essential oil and garlic. Maybe u freak out coz it looks so much worse. But i can say, it isnt. It much better actually, garlic help to ripe the acnes and lavender oil help to dry it. The surface is much more flatten, just the red spot that needs to be recover.

Since i just started my treatment using mentholatum acnes clay mask and BHA from paula choice, so i will update about it later

Coogi Flowertox SPF 25/PA++

Im so curious about bb cream, and feels like i want to try all of them this time my choose goes to Coogi Flowertox.

I cant find any description about it since i only bought it in sample size. But many reviews said that it has flowery scent with great oil control. It seems great, right?

Review:
My first impression is GREAT!! The texture very easy to blend.. The most comfortable texture than the others that i’ve ever tried. I cant smell the flowery scent, but the scent is fine, i cant smell anything at all, hahaha.. The great thing is it really fit my shade!! The best shade i’ve ever find from bb cream, even for a’pieu, it still the best! It also absorb easily so really save my time The coverage is medium, it can cover all problem on my face *i got many acnes lately* It totally makes my face look flawless in healthy way.. *totally luv it!! *

After a meanwhile, here goes the bad part. The oil control not so good for me. I really need to blot. I guess that is because it’s really hot that day. But after a few days with different weather, it still be like that. so i can say that the oil control wasnt great enough for me. A’pieu fresh still has the better oil control.

The other good thing is it contain sunscreen ingredient for SPF 25/PA++. But i still recommend u to use sunscreen separately and even though i use it for a few days, i cant see the healing property worked for me.

The weird thing comes when i want to wash it. This time i used my facial milk first, but whenever i put it, it feels like my face can absorb it till its gone, weird hah? hehehe i still dont know why it can be like that. My conclusion is the oill control is such great till like that, but maybe my moisturizer is too oily till it cant stand for it.

But the one thing that makes me cant use it anymore is because it cause breakout badly. Now my face got so many acnes and i have to heal it first.

Price:
For 30 ml tube, it costs Rp 125000,00. So cheap , right?

Will i buy it again?:
sadly, nopess the breakout things is so bad.. but if it doesnt affect any breakout for u, i totally recommended this, this product was great!

A’pieu Moist SPF 20/PA++

u must feel weird that i tried the 2 type of apieu YES! since im so in love with A’pieu fresh so i try the other one, i really want to know the perfect one for me because i feel that my skin has been dry lately and maybe a’pieu moist will fit me better

It says that “A’PIEU Nature Pure BB Cream protects your skin against UV rays and makes it moisturized and supple with white flower complex and trouble-cure ingredients.” Just like the description on a’pieu fresh. But a’pieu moist is actually for dry skin type.

Review:
The texture is just like a’pieu fresh, easily blend. So does the shade, it looks same for me, which fits me well The difference is in the oil control. A’pieu moist doesnt have great oil control as well as a’pieu fresh. And although after u applied the cream, u can see the dewy look. But in the evening, i cant see the glowy look on my face as well as a’pieu fresh. So, i guess a’pieu fresh fits me better, since my skin not as dry as i thought.

Price:
For 30 ml tube, it costs Rp 150000,00

Will i buy it again?:
I think i prefer the a’pieu fresh one, coz it fits me better. For u that have dry skin, u should try this one, it will great for u!! and…… but it’s discontinue already…

BRTC Prefect Recover

Here’s another brand of bb cream that i’ve been used. BRTC is one of the most well-known bb cream since it famous for its healing property and it can be categorized as high class bb cream with quite expensive price.

I cant find any description about this product since it has been discontinue and replace by another type. If im not mistaken, it replace with blemish recover bb cream, CMIIW. U can see the complete variety of brtc in here

Review:
My first impression is the texture is so thick, and it cause me so hard to blend it, harder i try, it seems that it still cant blend well. The shade is too fair for me, makes me look like ghost. The coverage is great so i can only use it a little and it already cover all my face problem. But even though like that and i leave it for a long time, it cant fit my shade, still to fair for me. Inspite of that, i still used it for a few days because im so curious about its healing property. And guess what, after a few days i still cant find any differences on my face, no improvement at all. Its sad for me, cause there was many great review about it but it seems cant work well on me.

Price:
U can buy it Rp 285000,00 for 30ml. Its quite cheap than others type of brtc products

Will i buy it again?:
I guess not. Since it cant fit my shade well and no improvement on my face. But if u fit it well, i think its great product to try

Skin79 Gold Label

This time i tried bb cream form skin79. Skin79 is famous because their healing properties is great. I tried skin79 Gold Label. This time i only bought it in sample size and i cant get the ingredient of this products.

It says that “This product has excellent cover function by composition of make up base and foundation. It can correct your irregularity different skin tones naturally and it makes your skin light, soft, and flawless all day long. Abundant nutrition of gold and caviar extract cares skin intensively to make shiny, healthy skin.”

Review:
The texture is thicker than apieu but still easily blend. The shade is quite ashy on my face. But after meanwhile it can fit my shade. (im still amaze how bb cream works to fit the shade of the user). The coverage is medium, it’s enough to cover all the “bad” things on my face It can absorb quickly to your skin so u dont have to wait for long time to finish your makeup

After a while, the oil control not so good. I need to blot my face, cause i feel discomfort with the oilness around my face. And the worst part is when i look in the mirror.. ohmaiii… my face looks ashy!! it’s oxidize…

Inspite of that, the ingredient is great. Its purpose are for whitening, anti-wrinkle, and contain SPF 25/PA++. With caviar and gold material, it is good for your skin And the healing properties totally works for me cause when i wash my face, my face felt smoother and it didnt cause any breakout at all.. and my face look brighter.. I think the healing property is awesome!!

Price:
U can but it at Rp 210000,00 for 40g

Will i buy it again?:
Im still confuse about it, cause it oxidize on my face. But since apieu is discontinue, and this healing property is awesome, i think im gonna try it again in sample size but i’ll mix with different moisturizer and loose powder, if its fine, i think im gonna buy it in full size

Rating: 4/5 *cause it oxidize on me* but if it’s not oxidize on u, i think it is a great product

Shills Super Magic BB Cream SPF 50/PA+++

Here’ another brand from bb cream that i’ve chosen. Since i only bought it in sample size so i cant tell u the ingredient. If im not mistaken, this bb cream quite popular in taiwan. The main reason im so curious to try is because it has high SPF n PA. So if this bb cream fit me properly, it can save my time to skip sunscreen.. ;p This type of bb cream comes in 2 type, the first one with SPF 30 and the second one is with SPF 50.

It says that “This product is made from natural material and is gentle to the skin”

Review:
My first impression, the texture is easily blend. But the coverage is very sheer, although i use it more, it cant cover my acnes. It needs quite a time till it dry, cause it quite sticky *maybe because the high spf it had*. So i need longer time to make sure that i can continue to finishing touch. After u applied it all over your face, u can see dewy look it gave. Because it has some kind of glitter but in very tiny size. Since the coverage is so sheer, i need to use mmu (*mineral make up*) foundation instead of loose powder to cover my acnes. The oil control is good but that as good as apieu fresh.

When i wash my face, i cant see any difference at all. I think the healing properties not so work on me. And after a few days, it cause breakout… my face so sensitive with products that contain high spf, i guess thats the reason why it breakout on me

Price:
U can bought it Rp 155000,00 for 50 ml

Will i buy it again?:
Nopez! because it cause breakout on me. But if u’re fine with it, i think its quite worthed to buy since the price is not so expensive and the SPF is high

A’pieu Fresh SPF 20/PA++

Lately im so excited to try various kind of bb cream.. For u that didnt know about bb cream, let me explain it shortly

Blemish Balm Cream or people often called it bb cream is more like tinted moisturizer, so it can work as a liquid foundation but also have healing properties that can make your skin looks healthier because of the great ingredients on it. There are various brand for bb cream from the skin food, the face shop, brtc, skin79, dr. jart, etude, missha, etc. Various type of bb cream also can have various purpose such as whitening, anti-wrinkle, work as a sunblock as well cause contains spf and pa.

Because all of that reason, im so eager to try bb cream. The first one i tried is A’pieu Fresh from missha. From the tube, it says that “A’PIEU Nature Pure BB Cream protects your skin against UV rays and makes it moisturized and supple with white flower complex and trouble-cure ingredients”. I cant tell you about the ingredient since it was written in korean. But it says that it contain sunscreen properties too because it was written SPF 20/PA++. But i dont think its enough if you want to use it as sunscreen. In my opinion, its better if u applied sunscreen too inspite of it. Actually apieu comes in 2 type FRESH and MOIST. FRESH is for oily skin and MOIST for dry skin.

Review:
The main reason i chose this type to be tried is because many people reviewed that this bb cream is good. It has great healing properties. They said that this bb cream help them to calm down their acnes and dont cause any breakout. It also has good oil control. So im so excited to try it…

The texture is easily to blend. The first time i tried it, i had some acnes and it can cover it perfectly. The coverage is buildable. If u use it light, it gave sheer coverage. But if u use it more, it can build up till medium coverage. My first impression after i put it around my face, oh my… I felt like a mask.. The shade is not right! Im such a zombie look.. but after i leave it for a while, im so amazed.. The shade is like camouflage.. It looked just like my face in usual way.. so natural.. but also flawless, yaiy!! Then i put some loose powder for the finishing touch.

And the other great thing is the oil control is great!! I dont even have to blot my face.. (my skin type is normal/combination) . In the evening, my skin looks glowy!! (thats the best thing i love this product.. longer u use it, your face had glowy effect *but in good way* ^^ ) Then when i wash it, the other great things happen. It really calm down my acnes. It became smaller and smooth my skin. This product is totally AWESOME!!!

Price:
For 30 ml tube, it costs Rp 150000,00

Will i buy it again?:
TOTALLY!! without any doubt at all..!! but the sad thing is it was discontinue and not available anymore..
