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.

Rating: 5/5 ;)

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.

Rating: 5/5 :) :) :)

Mukjizat Tolak Jerawat

Here is my first acne solution :) It’s called Mukjizat Tolak Jerawat from Sariayu.

This is the description from the website

Function

Ingredients
- Allantoin : Menghaluskan, merangsang pertumbuhan kulit.
- Resoran : Antiseptik & anti jerawat.
- THD : Antiseptik.
- Glycerin : Melembapkan.
- Sulfur Serbuk : Mengeringkan jerawat & memudahkan pengeluaran jerawat

Ingredients: Belerang halus, Allantoin (0.2%), Sulfur (10%), Resorcin (2%), Irgosan (0.2%), pembasmi jerawat THD

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.

Rating: 2/5.

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 :)
