Dummy’s Guide To Better Skin

Having clear, problem-free skin is an asset. However, thanks to testosterone, most of us have oily skin that sometimes breaks out. Like the rest of your body, your skin needs to be cared for. The good news is – you really don’t have to spend hours fussing over every pore to get good skin, just follow these easy steps.

1. Drink enough water
Your skin is intricately linked to good health. Adequate consumption of water helps to efficiently transport water to cells in your body, remove toxins and improve blood flow and circulation, and this translates to better-looking skin. The Mayo Clinic in the US recommends drinking eight glasses (230ml/glass) of water daily. However, you may need more because exercise, hot weather and air-conditioning cause you to lose more water.

2. Don’t pop your zits
Extracting your own pimples could leave you with unsightly scars where the acne used to be. It also leaves your pores to sag and appear larger over time, says Neutrogena product manager Cindy Tan. Dot your zit with an acne cream of gel to help dry it out, this takes time so you have to be patient. For blackheads and whiteheads, use an exfoliating scrub, try Neutrogena Deep Clean GentleScrub ($9.90 at Watsons), when you shower and make sure to rinse off the residue completely.

3. Slap on sunscreen
Your skin is the part of your body that takes the greatest beating from damaging UV rays the moment you’re exposed to sunlight. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of a sunscreen is calculated by comparing the amount of time needed to produce a sunburn on unscreen-protected skin to the amount of time needed to cause a sunburn on unprotected skin. Higher SPF sunscreens offer greater protection from sunburn, which is caused mostly by UVB rays. Try Sun Play SPF 130 ($15.80 at Watsons), it’s oil-free and not heavy like regular cream-based sunscreens which makes it suitable for everyday wear.

4. Follow with astringent
Dermatologists say that rather than washing your face several times a day, which can leave it too dry and irritated, you can use alcohol-based astringent pads to cleanse your face when it gets too oily. Astringents with acetone are also useful because acetone is a great fat and grease solvent. Most astringents have a bit of acetone in them, according to Dr Kenneth Neldner, chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. “If you use it regularly, you can surely remove oil from the skin,” he says. Try Zirh Refresh ($40 at ESpace, Level 1 Tangs).

5. Put mud on your face
Oily skin is a genetic predisposition. An easy way to degrease is by using clay or mud masks, says Dr Howard Donsk, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and staff dermatologist at Toronto General Hospital. Generally, the darker brown the clay, the more oil it can absorb. White or rosecoloured clays, though, are gentler and work better on sensitive skin. Try Lab Series Purifying Clay Mask ($40 at Robinsons, Raffles City).

Shaun & Michelle

I happened to browse thru' the mypaper this morning while on my way to work... and I saw this article about Michelle Chia getting married to Shaun Chen... was quite interested in the article and I read on... Later I realised its also talking about their invitation card which has an emblem showing the 2 letters S & M, which hence created "SM". The artiste said that it was meant as a joke.

So wad is SM?

Answer: S/M stands for Sadism and Masochism. Some prefer the term BDSM or Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission. Women who enjoy BDSM find that combining pleasure and pain turns them on.
S/M is not abuse. It is consensual activity between willing partners. BDSM is a way for some women to gain power by pushing their limits. Some examples of S/M are: spanking, bondage, whipping, acting out scenes and attending sex parties.

Coincidently,

My name is Shaun & my girlfriend is Michelle...

Hence,

we're also Shaun & Michelle.

Cool...

10 Promises to my Dog, Tracce...

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Regular separation from you will be painful and can even cause depression. Think before you buy me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want from me don’t be impatient, short-tempered or irritable.

3. Place your trust in me and I will always trust you back, respect is earned not given as some sort of inalienable right.

4. Don’t be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up as punishment. I am not capable of understanding why I am being locked up. I only know I have been rejected. You have your work, entertainment and friends. I only have you.

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your tone. “You only have to look at my tail” to know that.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget, if that treatment is unjust or bad, it may spoil the special bond between us.

7. Please do not hit me. I cannot hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I don’t ever want to feel the need to do that.

8. Before you tell me off me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be wrong with me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food or I’ve been out in the sun too long, maybe my heart is getting old and weak, or maybe I’m just dog-tired.

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old and will also want care, love, and affection.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, Irrespective of what you do I will always love you.
