Well, let's see if I can revive this space of mine since I'm procrastinating. So unproductive these days with my school work. Someone needs to splash some cold water on me.
Read Gillian's post about her getting into skincare on her new blog - BeautyNotion. Kind of got me to think about when I did get vain and more knowledgeable about skincare. I have a different skincare history than most girls. Since young, I always had rashes, so my 'skincare' started when I was prescribed a certain kind of BB Cream - Betamethasone benzoate if I remembered correctly. It always had bet/ben labelled on it. I think i started moisturising my face since secondary school days. I would often head to the shopping mall near my school and Watsons was my playground other than MacDonalds. I would love looking at the skincare products, and mostly pick up acne/pimple-concerned products. I did have dermatology session with my family doctor (she's good as a GP and a derma), I remembered being prescribed a vitamin C serum, which i believed would help with pimple since it has antioxidant properties. I was pretty blessed for my teenage years. I only had breakouts near the hollows of my face for a few times and that was all. But I do have my fair share of scarring which I still have today, but not as obvious as before. So that was it.
I think the skincare journey really started when I entered polytechnic and when I watched korean beauty shows. I would often research and look up interesting products and try them. It was also because I had CCA in school till late, and I have to bathe in school. So i literally do my cleansing in school and all other stuff like moisturising. I got more and more interested as I signed up for an account on thesamplestore, the days I would redeem free samples to try and review. I think when I hit my final year of poly was where the peak of the journey began. People around me were also starting to care more for themselves, and because of internship, many small talks with my colleagues were surrounding skincare as well. The journey continues as I took up 'Beauty Panelist' on thesamplestore. I know i have MIA for damn long, because the circumstances here are not allowing me to do what I used to do.

Here, in brisbane. I do try some products but am restraining myself because the Aussie markets products suitable for mostly caucasians, so I will head back to SG to get my skincare products. I have already decided to invest money and time on a particular brand and line of products because I happened to bring and try the sample sets here. I will get down on it really soon. Till today, I think my major skin complex is roughness (when I don't drink enough water) and also back acne (it's still haunting me till today). That's why I have never wore bare-back dresses and tops, because it is that bad and because of stubborn scars.
Really can't wait to get back to Singapore. School's really stressful and tiring. I have 1.5 months left here!!!
xoxo, Miko
