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

#20facts

So, I've been tagged by Sherliza from ziggy zig ah   to do this fun but also time-wasting game. LOL. And here goes. I'm very manja. If you know me, you'd probably know that.  I think I'm hilarious. Even I laugh at myself sometimes. Haha.  I'm generally a positive person.  I also have very high self confidence/self esteem. I genuinely think I'm pretty. (Another example is #2 :p)  I never had and don't have any issue with me being short. Again this relates to #4. Most people would think that I do, but meh being short/petite is pretty awesome.  I do have issues with me being fat. This generally happens once a month when I see a photo of a slim woman in skinny jeans. It also coincides with my time of the month. Hmmm.  Although honestly, I don't think I'm thattt fat. #internalconflict I am obsessed with designer handbags, which I think is going to be my (or my husband's) downfall.  I also have developed a love for diamonds after I got my
