To Use or Not to?

Today just browse through High on health and read about BHA because my whiteheads are coming again and I don't know why.

Anyway, I wanted to get rid of the whiteheads but I hate exfoliate because is very harsh on skin. I think there are gentle exfoliation outside the market but I am worry about the content. SO.. High on health, Fran, has intro people the way or products to use. I came about BHA.. It is an acid that can soften the skin and help in exfoliate. I was using this at first but I stop using it because it has high irritability grade of 4. But from what I see from Fran, I think BHA is good if used it appropriately. For instance, BHA should not be use every day and my sis is using twice a day! kinda worry for her. Is good but it will cause the skin to dried up and pores get enlarged if overusing it.

Later, i went to the website that Fran intro her exfoliatiant gel.. Paula's Choice. I was interested in it but I am more interested in the vast information that the website gave.
For instance, if you are shopping around, more and more company are introducing mineral make up as there is report saying mineral make up is good for acne prone skin or sensitive skin since they are made from natural minerals BUT that is not true. You can browse through this website. I was relief that my mineral make up does not contain this thing Bismuth oxychloride.

I strongly recommend those who are using make up to read up a bit on this webby. Not for the product but for the info inside there. It is scientific information on various ingredients using in all make ups. I think we should know all these. Imagine using something that is harming yourself without knowing it? kinda worrying.

Mineral Makeup: Powder Perfect or Poor Performer?

Lesson learnt:

  • Companies don't care how customers' complexion, they just want to sell their products. SO! consumers need to armed themselves with rightful knowledge to protect urself~
  • The best make up is to get is to buy make up that has as little ingredients as possible but as little synthetic thingy as possible.

There is still some thing that is better than other foundation.
