How I Got Rid of My Acne

I've had troubled skin ever since I was young. I was one of those unlucky girls that had pimples all over my face and body. 

I went on so many facials - Dermalogica, Sothys, Philip Wain - you name it, I did it.

I tried so many products - Lamer, Shiseido, SKII - all expensive but none worked.

And finally, I took Roaccutane for 6 months just prior to my wedding. It worked temporarily, but once I stopped the pimples came back with a vengeance. However, it did clear up my back acne up till now. So, yay for that!

While watching my wedding video for this post, I was SO shocked to see that my acne was so severe. I didn't notice in the photos since they're all airbrushed. And I actually forgot that it was that bad! No wonder I never leave the house without concealer then!

Towards the end of 2011, I was looking for acne treatments. I remembered I was really stressed out with my skin condition. It was then that my sister told me about acne.org

At that time, my sister was experiencing a sudden breakout on her forehead and cheeks. She found Dan's simple (and cheap) regime and followed it exclusively. It only took a couple of months for her pimples to clear up. So I thought, if it works on her, why not just give this a try.

And I thank God that I did!

My skin improves drastically, a month into the regime. I didn't get new pimples. There were only existing ones that was drying up and blackheads on my nose especially.

After a few months, my skin completely cleared up. There was no pimples and no blackheads. Just scars and enlarged pores.

After I came home from my short stint in London, my friends commented that my skin was flawless. Never, in my whole life, would I have ever imagined hearing people saying that about my skin!

Now, I am still pimple free. I do have some blackheads on my nose, but a good scrub and mask usually takes care of that. My scars are lighter, but some are still visible. But, I am not complaining!

I am so happy to have found the skincare regime that works perfectly for my skin! I don't even own a concealer now. Woopppp.

THANK YOU DAN!

If you suffer from acne, please give this regime a try! InsyaAllah, it'll work on you too :)

So, are you ready to see my before photos? Here goes.....


I cringe looking at these. Taken 3 years ago, during and post wedding. Pimples were so red and angry! 

And this is me now! :)


This photo is not filtered or airbrushed at all. I wasn't wearing any makeup too. You can still see some scars on my forehead and cheek, but overall I'm all cleared! :) 
So, there you go! My secret is out. Good luck trying!

Fashion Styles: Blouse

If you have been following me on this blog, you’d probably know that I’m such a girly girl. I just love being a girl. Seriously, what’s not to love? We have the best in fashion. Fashion is dedicated to us, women! From hair bands and clips to shoes and stockings, and everything in between. I had many fashion phases growing up. The “Clueless” inspired fashion; checkered pants, preppy blouses and small furry backpacks, short dresses with platforms ala Baby Spice and so much more. But, as I grow older, I stuck to a classic and simple style. My husband loves it when I’m dressed in a simple skinny jeans/pants and blouse . And that has been my staple since I got married. I admit – I would love to be more adventurous in my styles (like in my younger days) but I don’t think my husband can tolerate that. Lol. Over the years of experimenting, I have learned what’s good on me and what’s not, what I like and what I dislike. I prefer blouses; smart casual mostly to cotton tshirts. After tur

Majlis Pertunangan Ad & Syah 12/12/2009

Yes, I owe this entry! So here goes, it's a long one, dont say I didnt warn you! Decorations We DIY-ed everything, but then again, it wasnt anything major pun. Just had to gubah the bouquets of flowers; we had one by my cleopatra chair where my sarung cincin was done and another just to create the right ambiance (eceh :p) Check out the bouquet, done mostly by Mom and Aunt. Sorry thats the best picture I can find. Nanti bila official photographer dah kasi gambar I'll upload again ok? We cleared out everything from the house, except for that little black and white cleopatra chair. Dimana saya telah disarungkan cincin oleh bakal Aunty-in-law. My fiance's parents did not come because according to the Adat (mungkin adat orang Johor sahaja ye), only the wakil of the parents will come to the Upacara Pertunangan. Next...
