Skin Care routine

Hello my kittens~~
I finally got around to post my skin care routine
mainly cause today I woke up
and my all my extremely red acne scars were gone today
Today my skin has been the best it has
since I can remember 
and thanks to my rare patience 
and my solidly working skin care routine
my skin has been improving slowly but surely
but today I have en the results full hand~
Now all that remains is my pores...
but that doesn't bother me as much as anything else XD
This is what I do to maintain an Acne-free skin after my Decutane regimene is done
Also to get rid of my pesky reddish acne scars~
Anyways let's get on with it~~

My day time routine consists of :
1. My L'Oreal Hydrafresh Comfort velvety Toner: I like most L'Oreal toner and this one is no difference
but note once my toner ends I switch to another one, because since the Toner preps your skin for products I thought it's important to change it so your skin reacts well to your routine ^w^
2. Seaweed Mattifying day cream: This one helps in clearing your scars and helps to blend your skin in one colour, it's very moisturising, cooling and refreshing.
3. Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion with SPF 15: I love this, it feels like an extra protective layer under my Sunscreen, and it feels light almost weightless~
4.  L'Oreal UV Perefect with SPF 50 UVA/UVB PA+++: This is my favourite Sunscreen of all time!! it's soo good, it protects my skin so well, it helped in the healing process, it smells great, have a high SPF of 50, light and weightless considering it's a 50 SPF, very moisturising and hydrating. 

My night time Routine:
1. L'Oreal Hydrafresh Comfort Velvety Toner: cause my toner remains the same as long as the bottle is full ^w^
2. Lipkar Baume AP: It's a lipid moisturiser or so it says, it was prescribed to me by my dermatologist and I have to say I was terrified of using is, since me and moisturisers don't work well, but this is amazing!!! and a little goes a long way with it!! and it lasts forever!!
3. The Seaweed clarifying night treatment: This one is my fave~ cause it goes on so smoothly and it feels so refreshing and cooling~ perfect for a night time treatment.
4. Tea Tree Blemish fade night Lotion: I use this every night cause it takes care of any pimple wannabes!! If you want your pimples gone use the TTO line from The Body Shop~~
5. The TTO gel is only used when I think a pimple is a bit too annoying to exist, I usually apply it on any bump or redness at night and when I wake up it's gone~ ^w^


My Eye routine~ It sucks basically, but I notice a bit of difference in my under eye dark circles which are being lighter and lighter every day:
The L'Oreal RevitaLift: Before you say I'm too young for a lifting eye cream, I have deep set eyes, so that makes me more prone to fine lines, and as the say prevention is cure ^^
The super eyes super eyes by Soap & Glory: Honestly the only reason I use this is because it's super cooling and moisturising, but it does nothing to fill the eyes as it said...
~~~~
I know my Skin care products is missing a few key items, but I'm still in the experimenting phase~
So hopefully I'll update it soon with a new facial wash, lipbalm *cause my current one suck...* and a few more things~

So that's it for this post 
Hope you enjoyed it~
Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post which is going to be awesome!!!

*Preview*
And you say I never do good things for you :D

Love and Kisses to all~~

Decutan Full Review

Hello my kittens~~
Even though I was supposed to do a movie review
I wanted to post this one first
cause I totally forgot about doing it in time
*sorry for the long post...*
Anyways let's go~~~
~~~
Let's start from the beginning~~

I am an almost 20 years old female
My whole life I had acne,
in High school it was bad
but thank god we didn't have bullying in my school
so it didn't really add on my already depressed mentality.
I had huge ugly cystic acne with white heads
it would hurt just to bend over!!!
I hated my face,
I went almost for a year without looking at my face in the mirror
I would just focus on something else...
I tried many things, nothing worked out
My mom told me it will fade away by collage
So when I went to collage,
it didn't... 
It actually got worse....
so I went to a dermatologist
she gave a lot of topical creams
I spent a lot of many
it worked for a bit
then it stopped making any difference 
So I stopped using her creams and went to a different dermatologist
He told me that's a medicine is a better for me
than topical creams.
so I said sure hit me, I already tried almost everything.
the medicine was a bit expensive
and having to pay for it and go to collage and eat and all that
but my parents helped me a bit so I'm grateful for them <3
Ever since I took it I stopped breaking out,
everything was peachy minus two side effects
Dry skin and dry lips....
~~~~~~~~

So if you don't know
Decutan is an acne drug, used to treat hard cases of acne
I was on Decutan since 1st of August 2011, My last pill was someday of February 2012
*don't remember the date...*
I was dreading the day cause I thought everything will be back to how it was
that I would break out and life would be hell again....
I actually delayed the last pill for a day so I wouldn't stop...
but eventually I had to take it...
and a week after I stopped I didn't feel any difference!!
no break out, no problems nothing
and if I do get a pimple it would be tiny
and go away on it own!!!
I'm soo happy I was on it
even though I had nose bleeds
and I still suffer from dry lips
and sometimes dry skin 
if I don't moisterize well enough
but I got rid of it!!! I no longer have acne~~~
~~~~
and Now I'm on the road to dealing with acne scars....
I will soon post my after Decutan skin routine
and what are my products
the stuff I use~
Also there will be three skin product reviews coming up
one very soon
and the others I need to test them first so wish me luck ^w^
~~~~~~

Hope you enjoyed this post, it was very hard for me to talk about
many of the things
sorry I didn't post before and after pics
cause I don't have before pics
I wouldn't even take pics of myself till maybe a year and half ago
that's how much I hated it...
Anyways that's it for this post~~~

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~~
Love and Kisses to all~~~ <3
