ACNE JOURNAL: Day 1 of Curing

Hello you guys!  Yesterday I've been to the Dermatologist near where I live, because my acne it becoming worse everyday since I've been to Palawan last March I don't know why because this was the first time I experience this kind of acne. Before I only had a quite few may one to three, my dermatologist said that I had Adult Acne, and was triggered because of my oil glands started working too much or I inherited it from my mother's DNA.

FUN FACTS: PIMPLE 101
 Did you know that there are 4 stages of Acne pimples):

First is the WHITEHEADS(Closed Comedone)- in  this stage of acne is a really small white bump on your face's surface yes it has dirt and oil but the pore is not yet inflamed.

second is the BLACKHEADS(Open Comedone)- in this stage of acne is like the whitehead but the pore is opened and will surely be a open house for more bacteria and dirt (the pore is also not yet inflamed)

third is what we known PIMPLE(Papule)-here the pore is red, because of the dirt and bacteria is crowding the pore making it swollen and inflamed and lastly;

INFLAMMATORY PIMPLE(Pustule)- that has whitish or yellowish head because of the bacteria and dirt is trying to get out from the pore's wall making it weak.  If you'd try to prick in this stage of your pimple it will surely leave a scar.

CYSTIC ACNE(Nodule)- this is where the affected pore will expand to the other pores (hawa)

After I underwent to the ACNE SURGERY, sounds creepy right? it surely was not creepy as in a real surgery it was just the proper way of removing the dirt, pus and oil from your pimples that which by thw way hurts reaaaallllyyy bad! for me because it was my first time and a little scared maybe. I went out the surgery room with my eyes swollen because of crying haha but yeah (tiis ganda teh!) I was happy because my pores are clean after that surgery whew! but it left alot of blood clots from  the whiteheads, pimples and the inflammatory pimples which I have. My next session will be on monday (June 11,2012)

sorry for the grossing you out
Here are the products that my dermatologist prescribed:

I forgot to include my antibiotic pills for 7 days
from left to right:
Adapalene gel(Differin)-Clarifying Lotion-Clindamycin-Azelaic Acid(Dipolex)

Adapalene Gel do is 


 when you put it on your acne it helps to clean your pores expels the oil and pus from your acne and renew the pore's condition. Thats only based on what Ive read and also Adapalene works hand in hand with clindymicin a antibacterial solution as prescribed by my dermatologist. So I'm expecting my acne will become worse first before it will go away.
used as a toner

used before putting the Differin, the Differin will make this work better 
 Clindamycin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body.Clindamycin is used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. more facts(http://www.drugs.com/clindamycin.html)


Azaleic Acidis an antibacterial solution that prevents bacteria build up  caused by anaerobic or aerobic bacteria more facts at ( http://www.ehow.com/about_4620767_what-azelaic-acid.html  )



use because of prescription.



Well I Have high hopes on these prescripted drugs that cost a lot and I want to have that clear skin again that I used to have when I was a little younger.. Tune in for more updates! (I sounded like a DJ or something haha)

Nail art : French Tip with polka dots

Hi guys! I'll be  doing a Nail Tutorial! Hehe!! Since Iwas in college Ive been doing my nails but never had the thought to blog about it My friend Jamie was the main culprit of this idea she actually suggested me to , so long story short I'll be doing a quick and super easy tutorial about my recent nail art :)

My nails without any nail color
  I like my nails short bacause I usually hurt myself unintentionally when I have long nails bacause Im really clumsy haha!

here's what you need form left to right
Chic Nail color in Silky White(regular)- Caress Nail Polish in Obsessed- Caronia in African Plum


FIRST STEP:
nails with the Caress Obsessed
  SECOND STEP:
Put the Chic in Silky White on the tips of your nails
 THIRD STEP:
I used the brush in Caronia's African Plum for the dots. 
I know its a little hard at first but you can always practice. I happen to have the dotting tool but unfortunately I lost sight of it. 

QUICK TIP:
 If you hands are shaky like mine, try to rest the hand(for me its my right hand) you are using on a surface(I used my bed) and place the hand you are coloring(my left hand) close where your other hand is resting.




See! its just a matter of practice





this is my niece on the other side of the bed playing her DS Lite

Wave to my twin's pet hamster BO! that is 2 weeks pregnant 

my hamster Xingyun :) try to find where he is



Have Fun doing this guys! :)

Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief

Do you suffer from teeth sensitivity?  

Teeth sensitivity happens when you intake cold or hot things and feel a short  twinges of pain. Dentinal sensitivity occurs when the dentin (middle layer) of a tooth is exposed. Normally, the dentin is covered by enamel above the gumline and by cementum below the gumline. Dentin contains tiny openings called tubules. Inside each tubule lies a nerve branch that comes from the tooth's pulp (the nerve center of the tooth). When the dentin is exposed, cold or hot temperature or pressure can affect these nerve branches. This causes sensitivity. (http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtSS/r.==/st.31937/t.28119/pr.3.html)

No more Teeth Sensitivity!
I also tried the mouthwash, it stung me a little but it was bearable. When I woke up in the morning there is no morning breath and "panis na laway" taste
