effective anti- acne regimen

Since I was a highschool student and hit puberty, my pimples went berserk. I tried the so called " Eskinol + Dalacin C (Clindamycin)" were in you're going to mix the powder inside the capsule with 1 Eskinol bottle but it only last for 2 months then my skin went into antibiotic resistant mode and pimples started showing up again.
I tried the "Honey+ apple facial mask", Potato mask,  even Pro-active since here in the Philippines its quiet expensive as a maintenance anti-acne regimen.

But now I've tried this

First i used the cetaphil bar soap for cleansing morning and night. You can cut it in 4 so that only 1/4 of the bar soap will be used coz it melts quickly.

then i use my personal mix of moisturizer. Use the moisturizer for almost half a year now, if i see that i will have a break out at night i put a generous amount of the mixture then in the morning it was almost disappear.

Ingredients:
Cetaphil Moisturizing lotion (for some this alone is effective but for me, my skin still have break outs)

Dalacin C 300mg capsule (open up the capsule so that you can get the powdered antibiotic inside)
 Garnier light complete cream (since it has salicylic acid it also helps in pimple fighting and also good for acne scars adn blemishes and whitens skin but you can remove this if you don't want a white skin)
PanOxyl acne gel in 5% (this is pure benzoyl peroxide which also helps in treating pimples)

HOW TO:

ratio is in 100ml mixture

1. find an empty lotion bottle or any clean 100ml bottle
2. first put the cetaphil moisturizer about half of the 100ml bottle
3. put the powdered antibiotic that you got from the capsule (300mg/ capsule then 1 capsule per 100ml)
4. squeeze out half of the panoxyl acne gel 5% (though some use this alone i preferred not to coz when the acne heals it leaves some scars or dark pigment) also squeeze out the whole sachet of garnier into the 100ml bottle
5. cover the bottle then shake till it is mixed well ( you can mix this in a separate bowl before transferring to the bottle )
6. then add some cetaphil again till the 100ml is full but leave a little bit of space so that you can shake it and the cream will be mixed.

*Apply it in the morning and night

You will see the result after a week or so or when the day before you got your period (for girls)

also use non-comedogenic stuff in your face if you're prone to break outs.

That's all THANKS!!

Song Lyrics of the Day

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When  I love you a little than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before


Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

-James Morrison (Broken String)

Song Lyrics of the Day

Here's my dilemma
One half of me wants you
And the other half wants forget
My my my dilemma
From the moment I met you
And I just can't get you out of my head
And I tell myself to run from you
But I found myself attracted to my dilemma
My dilemma
It's you, it's you


-SELENA GOMEZ ( My Dilemma)

Song Lyrics of the Day

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend , am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well

-Sergio Mendes (What Do We Mean To Each Other)

Recipe of the Week ( Garlic and tomatoes with basil in canola oil)

It is a famous recipe for being simple and easy to make this is my version of Garlic and Tomatoes in Olive Oil. Since olive oil in my country (Philippines) is somewhat expensive i substitute it with canola oil...



This one of the basil plant my sister is growing and i've already used some of its leaves in my cooking..


GARLIC,TOMATO & BASIL IN CANOLA OIL

Ingredients

400grams penne pasta (pre-cooked)
5 cloves of garlic or more depends on your likeness towards garlic minced
4-5 medium size tomatoes ripe minced
handful of fresh basil leaves minced
1/2 cup of canola oil
grated cheese optional
salt and pepper

1. Warm the pot. Use a large one so that its easy to mix them.
2. Put the oil then add the garlic if the all is already hot.
3. Sauté garlic for a minute then add the tomatoes and basil till it wither.
4. Add pasta and mix till it is all covered but if you think the oil is lacking you can add some.
5.Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
6.Than you can also add cheese.

The new Lucky Me Pares

This afternoon i ate the new Lucky Me Pares. I'm so excited since i am a fan of the pancit canton version but as i tasted it.. gosh!!! My first though of it was this one will never click... Somewhat sweet, but the "umami" feeling i get when eating the pancit canton is not there... So much for my enthusiasm

pair of earbuds

Being a music lover makes me an earbud buddy. Wanting to enjoy the rhythm  and letting it sink to my soul for a much more out of body enjoyment.
But having settled to a C rate earbuds is a wrong move. It never gives the quality the song was produced. Never last for a long time. Not practical since i'm always buying a new one.  




A seed ascends around the turntable.





New Bloggie

Hmm... Actually its my first time blogging. Well the thing is since i'm good at meddling at other people's business (not in a bad way i know when to back off) give pieces of advice. To put things in a more clearer perspective i speak my mind so why not blog. Some people have them and make money out of it so why not i try it.
Maybe i'll be good in this gig...


Good Luck to Me!!! :)
