How to Prevent Breakouts while wearing Face Mask and Face Shield

 


The COVID-19 face mask and face shield season seems to be exaggerating to some but I find it comforting to cover the whole face as much as possible.  You tend to have a different view regarding this pandemic if you are a mom and a daughter of a super old parents no?

I may not go out as often but I do bring food everyday to my in-laws who lives a couple of steps away from my home.  Even with the short distance, I cover up LIKE THIS (on photo)....

And there's NO SHAME for that.


Even with short mask and face shield wearing, I find myself breaking out more often especially the upper lip area, chin and even the cheeks!  Because of that, I find myself thinking about our Frontliner heroes who are wearing mask and shield for more than 8 hours a day!  Some even wears double face mask!  Imagine how hard that is?

So here, I created a simple tutorial on how to prevent breakouts.  I mean the work itself is already hard enough, seeing pimples popping right out of nowhere here and down would dampen anyone's mood even more!  

KEY:  Use any product that works for you that can help prevent breakouts.  The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil products help me a lot since I have sensitive skin.  You don't have to use the same products.  Some of you may find Salicylic Acid to be the solution or Benzyl Peroxide, so feel free to use "liquid" skincare product in exchange for what I used on video.


I hope this video helps! 
Feel free to share your tips by commenting below.  I'd love to read it.

Let's stay positive, try to do our best to fight this pandemic together.

Weekend Food Trip: Oh Em Gie Cupcakes


If you love cupcakes but disliked the super sweet or over the top sugary type...join MY  Cupcake Club.

Over the whole duration of quarantine, I craved for a specific type of cupcake so many times, ordered online more than 5 times and I never get to taste the cupcake I really wanted.

Until that day when good friend Jowly :P  sent me a box of Oh Em Gie! Kitchen Cupcakes.


One of the most beautifully curated box of cupcakes I've seen so far.  And that's not all!  I was floored with the various flavors they offer!  

6 different batters for the adventurous food lover in me!

  1. Pina Colada
  2. Cookies and Cream
  3. Peanut Butter with Choco
  4. S'mores
  5. Peaches and Cinnamon
  6. White Chocolate and Rose

After taking a bite on each cupcake, cleaning my palate in between with a good cup of black coffee.  I knew that White Chocolate and Rose won the top spot!  Cookies and Cream came in second and the rest, I just don't want to stress about it anymore, I just want to say, they taste unique, refreshing and yummy!

Go ahead, indulge yourself and make sure to indulge with quality :D

Next bake schedule is September 5, 2020.

Instant Glass Skin Using Western and Asian Skincare

 


So I have been wondering which particular type of products would yield Glass Skin instantly.  You know how you wanted your makeup to look like that of a Korean-Drama superstar?

I tried using 2 types of products - Asian and Western on half of my face to see if I can achieve same results.  As I wanted to prove to you (and me) that you don't need to use all Korean skincare products just to look like a Korean Actress, we may actually use the skincare products we are currently using, or purchase products that are within our budget to create the same results.

Please note that the products I used are products I currently own, you don't have to use the exact same products I mentioned on video, feel free to use what you have and see if we can achieve similar results!


What do you think about my skin?  Is it obvious that I did the half face skincare test? 


Products used ---

Western

  • Pixi Beauty Vitamin C Toner
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Recovery (ANR) Serum
  • Elizabeth Arden 8-hour oil
  • Avene Thermal Facial Spray
Asian
  • Innisfree Brightening Pore Toner
  • Cathy Doll Power On L-Gluthathione Ampoule
  • Modest Hyaluronic Beta-Glucan Serum
  • In Her Element Rose Water

Style Series: Work From Home Li'l White Dress

 


Prior to lockdown, I have a couple of new outfit/dresses inside my closet that I was saving up for special events or hosting gigs.  

Obviously, I have been staying at home for 5 full months (and still counting) so I am not sure when I will be able to enjoy this cute white Long-Sleeved Shirt Dress that I bought at Zalora.


I like it because it looked like a regular long-sleeved dress on the upper part while it suddenly gave off a girly vibe at the bottom with the layered skirt!  

I would say this dress is comfortable enough to be worn as business attire and party dress, with just a few change in accessories, hairstyle and shoes!

What do you think?
Would you wear this dress?
