Cure the Chronic Dry Skin

I never had any major problems with my skin. I mean I do get flushed and my skin will turn red easily under sunlight but that’s about it. As such my skincare range is pretty pathetic. I only have a cleanser and moisturiser. I know I need to put in more care as biological clock is ticking but .. as usual, procrastination win over all the time.

So when my skin condition flared up on me right after a few days we came to Singapore (think I was allergic to something..), I became really desperate, upset and moody. I applied moisturiser day and night but no sign of improvement. Not a bit! I was really really melting then.. I mean, already I was in a state of breaking down because of all these uprooting changes et al, and yet my hair, my face too was sooooo ‘mm teng wah’ (giving me probs). Sigh….

What happened? I blogged about my hair being so horribly dry thanks to my itchy bum to go for rebonding before I came to Singapore. If that’s not bad enough, actual fact is, it was not only my hair that was in dire state. My face too!! It started with a small red dry patch on my right cheek, then slowly spreaded from one side to another then to my chin and it is a matter of time to get to my forehead. I was seriously worried. I was already checking for specialist’s contact when miracle came!

Hubs had a conference in Phuket 2 weeks back and as usual he came back as santa claus. Ryan and I each has a gift. Ryan’s a robot and yippeee… I received ‘miracle water’ as gift (that shows how jialat my face was for hubs to get me skincare!!). So much has been said about this miracle water but I have not been a fan. Expensive la… But I must say I have been diligently using it for the last 2 weeks (never failed day and night) and complement it with hydrating mask on alternate days (bought from Bodyshop). Terra… after 3 days my skin showed remarkable improvement. No joke. It is miracle water indeed. (Pst.. And this is not a sponsored post). So, if you’re having chronic dry skin due to whatsoever reason and you’re just short of seeing a skin specialist give this water and hydrating mask a shot. It work wonders!!!! Lesson learnt: I must not take my skin for granted. Must take care.. knowing I am not 18 – 22 anymore. Bleh….

  9. < ![CDATA[Hmm.. all mommies here kah.
    Can I join ah?
    My wife most of the remind me to get one of this thing. I said I don’t know how to buy, or choose. If the salesgirl very the kow one, definitely i just buy everything.

    Wife more to perfume.. she never asked me about facial thing. Lucky for me coz perfume easier to choose. Just my 2 cents lah.]]>

  10. < ![CDATA[So you just clean, splash on miracle water and then apply hydrating mask?

    I find SKII product has got this ‘petpet’ smell, which I don’t like, that’s why never tried it before. :P

    Your hubby quite good.. can surprise you with gifts.. mine.. hopeless one ler.]]>

  11. < ![CDATA[EstherL: Aiyoh.. skincare also wanna replicate. Teruk la..

    Sasha: My friend told me after using the same product for long it’ll lose effect. You try switch it to other brand. I’m sure you’ll see a difference.

    Annie: Actually expensive doesnt mean ‘ngam’ our skin. Wei.. skin food cheap meh.. Not cheap also.. but importantly it’s effective.

    MMaid: I see Sammi Cheng’s face texture improved a lot leh…

    BR: I did joke that I will probably need SKII to cure my face but I was seriously not expecting him to buy. He caught me by surprise this time!

    Jacs: Looks like many mommies here has it. I really ‘mm seh tak’ buy. I’ve been using the cheaper version from K Brand :P

    PJ: Yay.. daddy here. Your wife so lucky.. got perfume. Wei.. perfume also not easy to buy. So many brands out there. Does she has a fav?

    ZMM: I clean, I mask then I splash… But eversince my skin imrpoves, I hardly mask.. argh.. i’m one lazy pig.]]>
