These are facials i found from Soompi, and are korean beauty secrets

BOTH girls and guys can use these regimes.For the shop bought products, i do recall that you can get men skincare ranges in Shiseido, which my brother HIGHLY recommends.

HOMEMADE ONES
remember to take caution in trying these things...everybody has different skin types!!

Green tea facial wash
It has Vit A and C which is good for your skin as it help blemishes and prevents small freckles.
steps to use:
1) Make the green tea in the morning/overnight, and the refridgerate to make it cold
2)Before using cold green tea wash, wash your face with HOT water to open pores[not boiling]
3)Rinse with cold green tea to close pores.

any green tea will do, just PURE green tea though, none of the mixed stuff.

Kiwi mask
It's a cooling facial pack which is good for weak skin and VERY good for sunburns.

shop bought products

Shiseido
For greasy Skin: i'd recommend a japanese brand called Shiseido Pureness,
It's what i started off with when I became a teenager. I still use it every now and again. Like any exfoliant, if you buy the exfoliating bead cream, limit to 2/3 times a week.

For normal skin-dry: I'd suggest Shiseido the skincare, it prevents premature ageing, and is possibly the best after using pureness, because it mainly combats the effects of the sun.

MEN SKINCARE RANGE: who says Men don't need to groom. These products are pretty pricey, but they LOOK SO COOL XDD

ALWAYS ALWAYS ASK AT THE COUNTER FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR SKIN TYPE., i cannot stress this enough

BBcream
The BB Cream, aka Blemish Balm, is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now. It works like a foundation and skin healer at the same time, you stick on the foundation, and it works with your skin so it regenerates it and clears spots and blemishes. However, it might be that the first time you use it, you get a break out. Thats its job to get rid of all of it and then clear it. ^^
and it's much better than foundation as it does not feel like you got caked on makeup as its a blemish/moisturising cream so by the time you wipe the 'foundation' off, it'll feel soft and smooth. I heard it will work a little btter on smooth skin.

There are different brands of bb cream
I find that Softpeachy store contains most of them
Softpeachy's BB Cream Shop

tips:Start with the skinfood ones as they can contain healthy foods in such as aloe and ginkgo
The ginkgo one creates a dewy look
the aloe one, less dewy look but BETTER oil control

OoOooO
I don't really have any problems with zits , aging , freckles or blackheads.
But I'll use some of those tips just incase.

And I hate the bags under my eyes.
So thanks! <3

By the way toothpaste actually helps with pimples.
Depending on your skin , it helps me when one feels the need to pop up out of nowhere but if you have sensitive skin it might just dry it out and make it itchy.

Oh Yinnie you did it!

Aight, I love exfoliating masks, skin feels so smooth afterwards... I must admit I'm an avid user, I never read it was to be used only once a week =/ I also have a cream to prevent eyebags from forming, but the result is to be appreciated after 3 years of using it daily x) And that's about all I use, along with loads of oily hydrating creams ^.^

its because its ASPIRIN which will dry out skin and should be used OCCASIONALLY.

*nods*
Most of the shop bought products i listed are VERY pricey.
But thats cuz, the cheap ones have no counter, and i always ask the counter for skincare stuff..

Uh... I just take somewhat of an obsessive care over my hair (for a guy I guess).

See. Three different hair products in the shower. One I only use every other day or so. Then every 5 or so days I use a hot oil treatment deal to keep my hair soft and moist. >> Always had problems with my hair drying out on me, or at least feel like it's dry.

No real problems with zits or anything like that, tiny ones that can't really be noticed that show up every once and a while. Nothing I'd lose sleep over though. I just wipe my face with a damn cloth before and after I go to sleep, and after I wake up.

Also gotten into a habit of using moisturizer right after I get out of the shower.

I can't do anything about the bags under my eyes really. They're there mostly because I've had glasses all my life (-3 months). Ironically you can only see really notice them when I have my glasses off. Funny how that worked out.

God I'm such a girl.
