Hello everyone, today I want to share with you my personal experience using a chemical exfoliant without a solid skin care routine :)
It started back then in January bila I tgok YouTube one of Malaysian celebrities talking about her skin care routine. Kulit dia mmg glowy sgat. She talked about Son & Park Beauty Water & immediately I’m interested to try :)
So I beli Son & Park Beauty Water. I thought it was just a normal toner but little do I know, the ingredient contain (don’t remember the percentage %) of willow bark. Willow bark contain Salicin which is considered as BHA.
No matter how mild, Son & Park Beauty Water is considered as chemical exfoliant. Dia exfoliating toner. Rating Son & Park Beauty Water ni tinggi - 4.7/5 that’s why I’m so interested to try.

I pakai everyday, pagi & malam for two weeks without understanding a thing :) Because I thought at that time it was just a normal toner :)
Sampai laa my dad tegur `kenapa pipi merah? Kamu pakai apa? ‘ it’s like I’m allergic to something. My cheek jadi merah sgat sgat.
My skin jdi really irritate/sgat burn & I don’t know what I did wrong. Bumpiness kat dahi naik byak sgat. I jadi mcm pelik kenapa tetiba jadi mcm irritate sgat kulit.
Bila jadi mcm ni mmg I stop immediately every products that I used. I made a mistake not knowing the toner that I used is a chemical exfoliant.
Bila my skin mcm burnt/irritate mcm tuh, I go back to basic. I pakai cleanser + moisturiser + sunscreen.
Every single day, pagi sebelum pergi kerja I tepek moisturiser + sunscreen. Malam pakai cleanser + moisturiser. Once in a while I pkai SEP mask. Mmg a very minimal routine. My goal at that time is just to hydrate & moisturise my skin.
1-2 months after giving hydration to my skin :
3-4 months after giving hydration to my skin :
5-6 months after giving hydration to my skin :
7 months of giving hydration to my skin :
Skrg bulan berapa? Bulan 8 kan? 8 months of giving hydration to my skin. (Gmbr ni I ambik tadi nk promote Toasted Brown 🌝)
Apa maksud hydration?

i) Moisture barrier (pinned tweet 29)
ii) Humectant (pinned tweet 47)
iii) Hydration dgn Moisturise ni sama ker? (pinned tweet 45)
When you have a well hydrated skin & a strong moisture barrier , even when you talked in front of the camera, the light can reflect your skin. (Ni video apa tah i buat kat Instastory)
I believe in the power of hydration based on my personal experience.

You want to have a glowy skin? Hydration.

You want to have less acne? Hydration.

You want your scars to fade away?
Hydration.

The question is, are you willing to be patient? 😇❤️

Hai Safwan, my name is Maisarah Mahmud. I believe we have never talked before :-) I am a final year student, I’m not even near to become a psychologist or a psychiatrist. But if you tell me ' That’s alright Mai, I just want to hear your opinions ' so here it is -
My dad always tell me that mental health is not something that you can play around because it affected your physical body and your state well being. My first advice will always be to seek professional help because they are well trained professional to handle these cases but -
If you tell me ' I did but I just want your encouraging words or what do you think about this ' so I want to share with you something :-)

Kalau kita solat sunat dhuha, rakaat pertama selalunya kita akan baca Surah Ad-Dhuha. And I sgat suka Surah Ad-Dhuha ni.

Since Guardian/Watsons ada buat sale utk skincare, here’s my recommendation of products that you may want to try out ✨

We begin with : Cleanser - Moisturiser - SPF

1. Cleanser

Reason why I choose these cleansers: the pH level is between pH 5-6 which is the optimum pH skin lvl
2. Moisturisers

1. Rosken Sensitive Skin Cream (lotion-gel texture)

2. Neutrogena (Gel based moisturise suits best people with oily skin)

3. Hada Labo (3:1:1 Ceramide:Fatty Acid:Cholestrol)

4. LaF Ceramide (light-cream texture)
3. Sunscreen

i. Hada Labo Air UV (Fresh for Oily Skin/Moist for Dry Skin) (free from alcohol/fragrance)

ii. Sunplay Skin Aqua (free from alcohol/fragrance)

iii. Biore UV (Most Biore sunscreen have alcohol in it so you may want to avoid if your skin is sensitive to alcohol)

Do you guys remember I used to tell a story about my brother asking me about Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion that I have to buy two for my siblings 😀
The other day when he entered my room and he saw me using Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion, he immediately become interested & start doing his research so dia pun beli laa.
He asked me `why do you still want to use Hada Labo even though you are using Ceradan?’

I told him that even when I’m using Ceradan, my kulit still rsa kering (dehydrated) so I needed humectant (ingredient that attract water to skin).

So the other day I bought Sun Sense Sunscreen for my brother because he is going camping & it’s hard to find a sunscreen that suits him because he has the most sensitive skin in the family.
So I asked him today how was the sunscreen. He went camping pergi kayak masuk hutan naik boat all that stuff and he told me the sunscreen didn’t irritate him at all. Takde naik gatal gatal, rashes merah merah. Truly for sensitive skin.
And dia buat I rsa nk try this sunscreen sebab kalau kulit dia boleh adapt, apatah lagi kulit i. My brother is more prone to acne than mine. Sunscreen ni even suitable for babies and definitely I will go with product yg sesuai utk baby sebab kulit baby kan.
