isn't the face the first thing you look at on a person?
..... erm. well... ahem. :X -
it sure does cause a problem.
there was this guy who attended to my forms in cmpb around half a year ago.
the only thing i could remember and noticed was his white juicy pimples.. -
i no face to jio gal sia...Everytime my friend wanna go toilet i will refuse...cause my face looks just...hazi...sh*t.....
-
try ZA true white essence. it is in a tube form...cost abt $24+ at watsons. i apply this everytime after popping my pimples.
-
ok thanks! i'll try it

Couple of things u could try if u haven't already done so :
For acne:
- use Proactiv ... it's an acne-fighting regime that isn't too harsh on skin & relatively easy to obtain.. had some friends who swear by it after their acne disappeared. I last remember seeing it sold @ seiyu, bugis..
- consume more collagen .. it improves ur skin condition by locking in more natural moisture and reduces acne in most cases.. erm, i use that meiji collagen u can get from guardian pharmacy.. i had a few pimples here n there & this dull, uneven skin that wouldn't get better, but my skin condition's really improved since i started taking it.
- go see a skin specialist - i mean a real doctor, not one of those places that r out to earn your money ($)
For acne scars:
- microdermabrasion.
If u've ever watched any of those total makeover reality shows, this is the method they use to even out the skin. U shd only use it after ur acne problem has subsided
There's the professional types and the home kit types.. erm, i think microdermabrasion home kit can be found @ mustafa. the professional ones are ideal, of course, but also more costly....
that's all i can think of now, the hardest part would not be to source out the solution, but to stick to your regime..... hope it helps ^^v[b] -
I'm in my late 20s, and i had a resurfacing of acne problems about 2 years ago. Here's what works for me:
1) Anti-bacterial cleanser from National Skin Centre. You can buy it off the shelve
2) Toners that contain alcohol (non-alcoholic ones are too mild)
3) Daily doses of vitamin c
4) Avoid too much stress
If you've got a serious case, see a dermatologist and get antibiotics. They can supress breakouts.
For treatment of scars, try:
1) microdermabrasion (mild, but doesn't cause redness)
2) chemical peels (harsh, cause redness, but really peels)
3) And if (1) and (2) doesn't cut it for you, well's there's laser resurfacing. But that would be overkill. -
I've been very stressed over the past years, My face everything no pimples no nothing.. Got alittle but not very visible.
But my forehead got quite alot

YES... VERY BAD IN FACT...Originally posted by MooKu:have you ever had an acne problem?!?! isn't the face the first thing you look at on a person?
..... erm. well... ahem. :X
But while you're working on your face... Ain't there any other things about yourself which you still keep and can be PROUD of -
Acne does affect your job application so do deal with it.

I think outward appearance is one of the more important factors when it comes to confidence. I don't know how you managed - you must be quite a strong person! - but your face is a strong determining factor when it comes to the impression you give others. Don't you think so?Originally posted by Devil1976:YES... VERY BAD IN FACT...

Remember how Ito said the only thing he remembers about his friend is the ermm, white juicy pimples?
Anyway, maybe you can give us all tips on how to maintain your confidence in strongly disadvantageous situations like these.

Huh really meh? Why? Is it contagious?Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Acne does affect your job application so do deal with it. -
prehaps most people today look at physical apperance rather than your actual skills or espertise...
better consult a doctor for the pimple problems... -
Picture youself as the employer. You're gonna be looking at the face everyday, sometimes from a distance of maybe just 30 centimetres. Naturally, you'd want an employee that you'd feel comfortable looking at.Originally posted by pretzel:Huh really meh? Why? Is it contagious? -
They will try to gauge a person's character through the looks, like unpolished shoes, acne show that a person doesn't care about personal presentation.Originally posted by pretzel:Huh really meh? Why? Is it contagious? -
Yes, I agree with you... Looks is quite very important especially when you're making your 1st impression... The other is the way you carry yourself... No matter what happens to you physically, it can only change you physically... You could still be very much who you are, unless you allow for otherwise...Originally posted by MooKu:I think outward appearance is one of the more important factors when it comes to confidence.

When my face got real bad, I told myself I'm not gonna be stuck like that forever... So while I'm at it, might as well 'enjoy' the difference..? -
pro-active worked for me but not for my fren. she headed for national skin centre and that worked for her.
drink more water, detox, DUN squeeze pimples yourself. look for a good beautician for good facial (yes guys do that too).
btw i agree with devil, confidence in yourself is more impt than a smooth face. one of my boy-boys stick with me throughout my acne and massive weight gain phase. so looks although impt, is not everything -
How about IPL?
-
How does pro-active looks like?What should i say to the counter when i wanna buy? I just wan my pimples to stop breaking out as they like.

Microdermabraison - Epiderm X

see a doctor, the only way serious! lolx as for proactive, i tried it before, it will stop working after you stop using it. before you want to dump or waste your money on anything, just consult a skin specialist to identify the prob man!Originally posted by wenyong90:This problem started since 2 yrs ago...I started to get lots of pimples and i poped them in the past...Now thaT I had stopped poping them...There's already a number of pimple scars bothering me...At the same time,i still have pimples growing now and den...It makes me lost my confident and i dont really dare to look people face to face.
