Pimples, Zits, Acne, Breakouts....

So let's try to update this blog at least once a month, shall we?

As usual, I like to number the things that I want to write about, just because I do. (even tho now i realize there is only one thing i wanna talk about!)

1. The biggest thing happening in my life right now is.... acne! It proves that you still can get breakouts at an old  mature age. AArgghhh... its making me stressed.. which is causing more breakouts I guess. My breakouts are mostly on my chin, which supposedly indicates that its hormonal. Hormone changes can apparently be caused by stress. (Btw, you can tell what health concerns you need to address based on where your pimples are on your face.) So, I have been frantically trying every suggestion on the internet (well, almost all). Lemme list down some for you:

• Rice flour face mask - I do this almost everyday, either on the whole of my face or just on the problematic area, just whenever I have time. It is supposed to make your face smoother and lighten the marks. I use it to dry up my acne faster. My face also feels smoother.
• Honey - I put it on my pimples and marks, because I read honey is anti-bacterial, and can dry up the pimples. It also has natural bleaching properties to help lighten the marks caused by my acne.
• Cutting down sugar and starch - My breakouts could also be a result of my poor diet. I cannot be sure of this, but I am cutting down on my sugar intake. This is REALLY HARD since I love baking and desserts and cakes!! :(( How am I going to survive!?? Anyway, this is a good thing, even though you dont have pimples. Right? The thing is.. its very hard to maintain not eating my beloved cupcakes!
• Dalacin T - I used this topical solution before in my younger days, and a friend of mine did recommend to me. But i didnt get around to buying it till last weekend. It seems to be making a lot of improvement in a very short time. When i say improvement, it means that it is healing my pimples quite fast. However, I still have the ugly black marks, or scars from these pimples. Maybe from popping it too much! 
• Hands Off! - No hands on your face!! I know ppl tell u this all the time but sometimes i just wanna get rid of that bump so that its easier to apply makeup. I have been trying more self control these days, and hopefully it ll work!
• Omega 3 - I also have been taking Omega 3 supplements since it can stabilize your hormones, you  know, since my pimples are hormone related. i finished a month supply, yet to restock. Cant really tell on the effect. Maybe need to continue eating.

Overwhelmed yet? I am. But its really making me depressed looking in the mirror. I can cover it up with makeup when I go out, but I have 2 running events this weekend, and for sure my makeup will wipe off with all the sweat! :( I dont wanna meet ppl with my face like this!! Anyone has tips on sweat proof makeup? hehe

Anyway... i hope these pointers can help some of you out there who are battling the same problem as moi :) .. also drink lotsssaaa water and detox too... 

till my next post... au revoir mon ami!
