11 Secrets to Clear Skin. heheh

This entry would probably be the longest one because there are many things to say.
If you still interested, then go on :D

Clear Skin Secret No. 1 : Watch what you eat
According to dermatologist Dr. Heidi Waldorf, most of the food myths (like chocolate and French Fries) are just that -- myths. However, she does say that the hormones in milk can be connected to acne -- so you may want to lay off the ice cream and see if that helps.

Even though there isn't a direct connection between chicken fingers and zits, Annet King, director of The International Dermal Institute, says that eating healthier overall will help your skin. So keep that in mind the next time you're debating between a salad and a burger.

If you have Acne Rosacea (think redness on your face rather than regular pimples), on the other hand, Waldorf suggests staying away from "spicy foods, tomatoes, raisins, MSG, caffeine, and hot beverages."

Clear Skin Secret No. 2 : Set up a routine
Fell asleep without taking your makeup off again? Not good. To keep your skin clear, you need to have a regular skin care routine. Here's a bare bones one you can follow:

Step 1: An acne-fighting cleanser
Step 2: A light moisturizer
Step 3: An acne-fighting treatment

You can add in things like spot treatments and masks, but these few steps will get you on the right track -- and they're so quick, you can do them all during a commercial break while watching TV (so, seriously, no excuses).

Clear Skin Secret No. 3 : Cleanse correctly
It's the first step in your skin care routine, so of course you want to do it right. Here's how:

Step 1: Find the right cleanser.
Step 2: Use warm (but not hot) water to wet your face, then apply the product.
Step 3: Massage the cleanser on for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse with luke-warm water.

Clear Skin Secret No. 4 : Moisturizer is your friend
If you have oily skin you might think about skipping moisturizer, but King says that's not a good idea. If you dry out your skin too much, it will just produce more oil, which causes more zits -- see where this is going?

Stop the cycle by using a hydrating toner or light moisturizer after cleansing. If your skin feels too greasy you can put a mattifying product - it'll absorb the oil without over-drying your skin.

Clear Skin Secret No. 5 : Give yourself enough time
Waldorf says it can take a month or two to see real results from your skin care routine, so you should start a.s.a.p. And don't get discouraged if your skin looks a little worse in the beginning, it's pretty normal. Just hang in there and give it a month -- if your skin still hasn't improved then you may want to change your products or see a dermatologist.

Clear Skin Secret No. 6 : Read your labels
This is actually a two-part secret. One, you want to find acne products with these ingredients: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, or resorcinol, Waldorf says.

Two, you want to stop using products that have these ingredients: mineral oil, isopropyl myristate, lanolin, petroleum, artificial color and artificial fragrance. King says all of these can irritate your skin and cause breakouts.

Clear Skin Secret No. 7 : Use speakerphone
Spending hours with a cell phone pressed to your cheek is a sure-fire way to get zits. If you can't stop chatting, at least wipe your phone down with alcohol to sanitize it or get a blue-tooth device. Dorky, I know, but worth it for clear skin. Or, just text your friends instead.

Clear Skin Secret No. 8 : Don't stress
I know, between classes, assignments and finding the perfect shoes to match your dress, stress is kind of inevitable. But, it's worth taking some time to relax, because stress increases hormones that can cause acne, King says. So take a few deep breaths and try to calm down, for your face's sake.

Clear Skin Secret No. 9 : Get a glow
For a healthy-looking glow, Waldorf suggests using a moisturizing face scrub. But more important than getting that fresh-scrubbed glow, is keeping it. That means no smoking or tanning, Waldorf says. Both can make your skin look dull, discolored and eventually wrinkled. If you do want to add some color to your skin, try a self tanner instead - all of the glow, none of the damage.

Clear Skin Secret No. 10 : Ditch your makeup
Did your heart just stop? OK, you don't have to go completely makeup free, but cutting down on the number of products on your face can help acne.

More importantly, make sure you wash off any makeup before you work out (makeup + sweat = zits) and before you go to bed.

One thing you shouldn't skip though is sunscreen. Like Waldorf said, tanning zaps your glow and can also dry out your skin and give you more zits. Ugh.

Clear Skin Secret No. 11 : Fight any last-minute lurkers
The second you feel a zit coming on, apply a spot treatment to minimize the problem. Waldorf recommends ones that have corticosteroid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur to get rid of bacteria and dry out the pimple.

And if you can, head to a dermatologist for a corticosteroid injection, which will get rid of the pimple in a day or two. :)

Sunscreen yehh

I'll be honest, i never really thought much about sunscreen.
i remembered when in school, my friends often use the sunscreen for sport purposes. even when we went for a camp, some of them would use the sunscreen.
did you just slapped it on and hoped you didn't get burned?
there are some things you don't know about sunscreen.

1 : A lot of sunscreens only protect against UVB rays, unless the bottle specifically says it has UVA protection as well (SPF only refers to UVB).

2 : A study found that people who wait 2.5 hours to reapply sunscreen instead of 2 hours have a five times greater chance of burning. (source : "Can You Get Hooked on Lip Balm?")

3 : Sunscreens actually do expire after about a year, especially if they've been sitting in your car or beach bag. (So it's not just a ploy to get us to buy more sunscreen.) Click here to see the signs your sunscreen has gone bad.

4 : Sunscreens that are SPF 70 or 90 don't actually increase your protection by all that much more, however you're getting two to three times more chemicals on your skin. So if you have sensitive skin you're actually better off applying a lower SPF more frequently, because you might get some irritation or redness with the higher SPF, according to Annet King, head of The International Dermal Institute

and, OK, these facts aren't technically about sunscreen, but they're in the ballpark and they're pretty crazy:

5 : Each time you peel, your risk for skin cancer increases. If you have five sunburns in your life your risk for melanoma is doubled, King says.

6 : 70 percent of adults do not apply sunscreen regularly and more than one-third of the world population reported experiencing sunburn in the previous year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you're in that 70 percent (and let's face it, odds are you are), then you definitely need to read the rest of this sunscreen trivia.

fess up : do you apply sunscreen regularly ?

hey women! lets talk about make-up that women love but men hate. :3

hey hey women :)
everyone wish to look prettier and beautiful.
but well, we should know that sometimes guys have different view with us.
neon lips, blue eyeshadow, shimmering glitter, and golden bronzers : this spring, some of the most dramatic looks we saw on the runways are making their way onto our faces.
but not everything we dabble on pleases everyone. :(
we had a hunch that some of our biggest beauty obsessions might be turn-offs for guys...
so we went ahead asked.
prepare yourself : brutal honesty ensues.

1. Heavy foundation and powders : "The inch-thick powder is a huge turn-off," says Maxim senior editor Nick Leftley. "No guy wants to kiss a girl on the cheek and then find he's wearing foundation himself. "A flaking face is one thing, but when your cheek becomes a palette of skin-tone colors, men pay attention...and not the good attention. "I'm always amazed to see women with two-tone faces, two apparently different shades of skin on the face, as if they apply makeup in the dark," says James Oliver Cury, the online editorial director at Maxim. "I'd rather see one greasy face than some sort of melanin imbalance. The nose should match the cheeks."

2. "Bumps" : “I never liked, or knew of any other guy who liked, the Gwen Stefani "bumpit" look," says Henry Belanger, an editor at The Good Men Project. "Be wary of anything that makes your head look unnaturally large."

3. Neon lipstick : Most of the fashion world agreed that electric pouts were a beauty "do" this season. Some men, however, beg to differ. "Orange lips are definitely a departure from what we're used to and not necessarily something a lot of guys I know really respond to just quite yet,” say fashion blogger John Januzzi of Lucky and the fashion website, Textbook.

4. Too-thin brows : "My pet peeve is overly plucked eyebrows," says David Swanson, Maxim's Features Editor."I mean, really? It's basically an advertisement that naturally you're hairier than Robin Williams. If it looks natural, we'd never have to wonder."

5. Bold eye-shadow : "I don't understand the revival of bright blue eyeshadow," proposes Maxim's Cury. "Is it retro? Is it purposefully over-the-top? To my eyes, it just looks tacky no matter how you wear it." Lucky's Januzzi isn't as bothered by color as he is by application. "Smoky eyes--when done right are great--very sexy and attractive but when done wrong they look a total mess," he says. "Seek professional guidance before trying at home."

6. Rosy cheeks : “As far as make-up goes, I think rouge is for old ladies,” adds Good Men Project's Belanger. "I think guys generally prefer the kind of make-up you don't notice is there, and since there's a lot that guys don't notice I think women have a lot of leeway."

7. Two-toned lips : Remember Kim Mathers? She was almost as famous for her lip liner issues as she was for being defamed by Eminem. According to our dude survey, the pucker problem was more serious. "When I see thin lines drawn around a pair of lips, I think: Is this part of some gang initiation rite?" says Cury.

8. Glitter : "Women need to be judicious with it," says Cury. "It's like any good seasoning. You shouldn't shake it all over. It can overwhelm the main course." That being said, he's not opposed to a heavy sprinkle of cleavage glitter.

Panas.

Cuaca sekarang memang panas sangat2 kan?
kalau bangun subuh tu kira okay lagi tapi mula terasa bahang dan tak selesa dalam pukul 10 pagi dan ke tengah hari memang HARU lah!
nak tido petang pun berpeluh, malam pun panas.
oleh sebab tak tahan dengan rutin harian yang harihari panas,
saya ambil alternatif untuk ke library.
jadi lepas ambil adik pukul 12-1pm, terus ke library di jusco.
duduk dalam library memang seronok, dengan sejuknya, dengan tenangnya melihat orang2 menambah ilmu. sayangnya tak boleh tidur. (kahkahkah)

tapi sambil jalan ke library, terlihat satu notis vacancy untuk part timer dekat AKEMI (http://www.akemihome.com/).
balik dari library terus call then Miss Emily tu cakap kerja 8 jam, RM4 sejam. okay la tu kan? esok die suruh datang interview.
hmm harap2 boleh catchup dengan masa nak amek adik dari skola n anta adik tusyen. (-.-)

Telur Telur Telur :)

Suka makan telur?
saya suka sangat2. heheh telur goreng memang sedap.
tapi sekarang bukan nak cerita pasal makan, tapi pasal petua kecantikan.
saya memang ada masalah kulit berminyak, bila dah minyak2 ni mula la naik jerawat. (ARGHHHHHHHHHH : perasaan geram sangat2)

mama cakap pakai la masker telur.
mula2 saya rasa lain macam jugak nak letak telur mentah kat muka walaupun pernah beberapa kali dengar pasal penggunaan telur sebagai petua kecantikan.

jadi saya pun cuba lah.
hasilnya?
wajah saya rasa licin, tegang n jerawat saya pun hilang entah ke mana. SERIUS!
even kalau uols dah mula rasa sakit2 kat bahagian yang baru nak tumbuh jerawat, rasa sakit tu akan hilang n seolah2 jerawat tadi tak jadi tumbuh lepas korang pakai masker telur.

caranya senang je :
1. Bersihkan muka korang dari kotoran atau makeup.
2. Ambil sebiji telur, asingkan isi kuning n isi putih dalam mangkuk atau piring.
3. Kacau isi yang putih macam nak buat telur dadar.
4. Sapu isi yang putih SAHAJA ke muka.
5. Jangan bercakap2 atau banyak bergerak sampai ia benar2 kering.
6. Basuh muka dengan air suam.
7. SIAP !

ade dengar2 lagi elok korang buat 3-4 kali seminggu sebelum tidur. tapi kalau saya, saya akan buat kalau rasa2 nak tumbuh jerawat (ketika hampir datang bulan) n pagi2 lepas bangun tidur sebelum mandi so saya akan rasa muka ni lembut je sepanjang hari (hihihi). tapi serius, memang berkesan!

- "sejak kecoh ade telur palsu ni, saya selalu ragu2 n check ade kesan tahi2 ayam dulu kat telur sebelum guna telur tu untuk pastikan tu memang telur ayam yang asli. LOL!!"
-"produk skincare untuk kulit berminyak n mudah tumbuh jerawat ialah Neutrogena. Neutrogena is really really good."

KERJA

Oleh sebab cuti masih ada baki 4 bulan, saya masih berkira2 untuk cari kerja baru. (oh yess sebab dah baru berhenti kerja lama).
Sebelum ni saya dah kerja kat Parkson, Melaka Mall tapi berhenti sebab tak tahan penat. (mengada2 kan)

makan tengah hari (12-1 pm, 1-2pm, 2-3pm), makan malam (4-5pm, 5-6pm, 6-7pm)
gaji 650 tapi lepas tolak macam2, korang boleh dapat dalam 500 lebih sebulan.
tak tahan woo kaki ni nak berdiri 9 jam.
saya sebagai sales assistant di stationary dept tapi selalu ke toys dept sebab takde orang jaga kat situ. hari kedua ada orang baru masuk, jaga tempat toys jugak jadi adalah kawan.
En. Zaidi, the supervisor ada suruh try mainan2 tu supaya kalau customer tanya, kita boleh jawab.
jadi saya pun ada la try beberapa mainan yang perlukan kepakaran macam NERF (http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/en_US/)
tapi baru kerja 4 hari saya dah berhenti. (hohohohoho)

rasa rugi tu ada sikit tapi kadang2 nak jugak gaji yang setimpal dengan keringat.
ni sampai jalan pun senget2 (kaki sakit), pinggang pun sakit (tak dapat baring uols!) untuk RM500 then i could say , SORRY.

End of Foundation of Law.

Okay today is 11th May 2011.
saya edit entri2 terdahulu yang nampaknya tak banyak gunanya untuk saya dan untuk sesiapa yang bakal membaca.
banyak entri yang 'agak' merepek kalau nak dibandingkan dengan blogger2 profesional dan orang2 yang saya kagum.
yes, writing is my pleasure. my passion.
rasa cemburu datang bila melihat blog2 lain yang berseri2 dengan susunan kata yang menarik dan plot yang cantik.
oleh sebab masih ada dalam 4 bulan sebelum sambung belajar ke degree, saya ambil keputusan untuk menulis semula di sini mengenai apa sahaja yang saya suka walaupun saya tahu tak ramai yang akan menyelak (lack of followers).

saya teringat macam mana waktu saya di sekolah rendah, saya memang suka betul menulis dan melukis.
En. Abu Bakar, guru bahasa melayu Sek. Keb. Polis Kem pernah minta tolong saya menyertai pertandingan melukis dan mengarang. yang melukis tu yes, saya johan tapi hanya dapat RM10 manakala komputer (hadiah johan masa tu) cikgu yang amek. (hahaha) penulisan saya pula tak memenangi mana2 tempat. (belum cukup baik untuk bertanding dengan rakan johorean lain).

masuk sekolah menengah pun masih sibuk menulis.
saya pernah siapkan sebuah novel (haaa jangan terkejut! kehkehkeh)
but you can rate that novel, bet you couldnt even give 1 star.
form 3 student, what can you expect?
saya buat novel cinta tipikal bertajuk 'Cinta Monyet'.
ada dalam 150+ muka.
cerita mengenai sekumpulan pelajar di MRSM.
sebenarnya kisah2 dalam novel tu kisah benar yang diambil dari rakan2 sendiri.
pada masa tu (kononnya) saya bosan untuk mendengar cerita yang sama, orang ber'couple' dan cerita budak2 asrama jadi saya karang cerita mengenai kehidupan realiti saya dan kawan2 cuma ceritanya lebih segar dan penuh angan2.
masa tu saya dah sibuk nak PMR jadi saya pun fokus tanpa ambil peduli dengan cerita yang dah siap tu.
naik form 4 dan form 5, saya sambung mengarang cerita, sambungan pada 'Cinta Monyet' dan diberi tajuk 'Cinta Monyet 2' (kahkahkah)
guess what? novel kedua mencapai 300+ muka.


kedua2 'karya' saya tu telah dicetak sebelum tamat SPM dan kedua2 buku tu bertukar2 tangan yang membacanya sampai HILANG.


- "kalau ada yang pegang buku tu baca entri ni, diminta hubungi saya yeeee.. saya dah tak simpan softcopy. sayang pula, kenangan saya buat cerita walaupun hanya sebuah karya picisan yang lebih sesuai dibuat bungkusan nasi lemak atau alas duduk kalau nak camping mana2."


sekarang minat menulis saya masih ADA dalam diri saya dan saya kagum dengan penulis hebat seperti Dan Brown. Saya pun sedang dalam proses untuk menghabiskan pembacaan terhadap buku 'A Doctor in the House : The memoirs of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad'. and and my special CONGRATULIONS to En. Khairulnizam Bakeri, my debate trainer for his first novel, PECAH.
