膚淺保養 Superficial Skin Maintenance 
so the story is, i am innately lazy. sure i can tell La Mer from Pond’s. but it doesn’t mean my results of my so-called skincare routine is effective. so what is the point of knowing the difference between brand names probably all owned by P&G and truly knowing how to take care of skin? it shouldn’t be a passing fad or sporadic decision, skincare is a lifetime commitment.
my grandma uses aloe vera straight from her garden and rubs the inside contents straight on her skin. her face is quite shiny and tightened. i don’t have a garden. nor do i have any aloe vera planting strategies. but truly, i do believe in skincare. and right now, i have definitely moved into the realm of skin medi-care.
first off, i need to admit some mistakes. most branded department store cosmetic brands are good for actual makeup: foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow etc.
when it comes to skincare. SK-II is concentrated water in a bottle that cost $90 CAD. i’m not too fond of clinique, dior, biotherm, laneige, clea de pau, or shu uemura either, and those are the ones i’ve tried. by “not too fond” i mean that you can probably buy very similar items for 25% of the price @ a drugstore…the neutrogena, ponds, la roche posays of the world.
shiseido i’m on the fence about; i do like some of their products. but they only work on a very superficial level. say you have 3 layers of epidermis. all these skincare products only work on layer 1. layer 2 and 3 need more penetration and your average skincare line won’t do that for you.
i am now willing to be completely experimental. as in, given solid research and dermatological recommendations. my skincare routine will be more thorough.
i went to a cosmetic-laser clinic and got this procedure done:
染料雷射 aka Pulse Dye Laser- to reduce the appearance of blood vessels on my cheeks. People used to say I seem to have great “color” in my face. Or I don’t need blush etc. Well, sorry to say, that’s not cause I have better “chi” going on. It’s just that the blood vessels in my face split and multiplied. It gets worse with heat and exhaustion and will deepen with age. For prevention sake, and so I don’t need to freak out with red spider veins later, my treatment cost $4000 NT ($130 CAD)…and my bonus is I saw female celeb 大S @ the same clinic, which made me feel better. She is quite anal about skin care, can’t go wrong. Doctor claims I need 4-6 treatments. We’ll see how effective it is…
next, i carefully evaluated my current products, eliminated the ones not suitable for my skin in ASIA in particular, and made sure all of them are summer-friendly: less oil, less concentrated abstracts.
currently using:
we’ll see how things go in 3 months; if my product line has changed and what works!!!
for a girl that’s hardly had to stay with any other family but her own…
i must admit…it’s an adjustment.
i can see why those who have homestay experience or grew up @ uncle/aunt’s place
have much better organizational habits than moi.
my roomie’s family is visiting for 2 months~!
for little-miss-messy-me…
quite the challenge.
esp when our apartment is all of 600 square feet.
don’t get me wrong, they’re great. and i don’t mind @ all…
but i just need to watch where i throw my bra, towels, and uh… cosmetics.
and athens is sharing a bed w me. i have no issue with it.
except i don’t wanna kick her in my sleep.
i haven’t even needed to ever share a bed with my little sister.
so, this is strange.
not even trying to sound like a priss…
but this is the epiphany moment when i realized that
i am, quite spoiled. haha. i seriously think my parents would strangle me in MY sleep if i had to share a 600 ft. living space w them and my sibs.
athens’ dad just told me our apt used to belong to a family of 6. 2 teen boys, 1 middle aged couple, 2 grandparents. !#$@#
HOW DID THEY EVER FIT!? do they buy a bed and sleep horizontally with their feet hanging over the edge!?
and i was making fun of the shoe-closet size when there was only 2 of us..
welcome to hong kong!
seoul was a enjoyable but tiring getaway.
walking 7-9 hours nonstop for 4 days
too bad it’s also countered but nonstop eating~
korean food is awesome. way superior to HK 茶餐廳 crap.
esp the Ginseng Chicken. my fave~~~ and it’s not even spicy!
i also really enjoyed the gyeongbokgung korean palace
it doesn’t have the grandeur and splendor of the forbidden city
nor the quiet majectic character of the kyoto palaces
but it’s a place you can spend hours walking through and claim a sense of identity in.
it may have belonged to the korean emperor long time prior
but after a few hours you sit on the steps and you feel a strong connection
as if it was your palace at some point…
