How to cure back and chest Acne

I finally decided and filmed some non cosplay related beauty video! I don’t consider myself a beauty guru though…. I’m just a vain girl who wants to share what she knows about tackling her problems.

I’ve been plagued by skin problems since I could remember and while I still struggle with them, they are a lot more manageable than they used to be. And yes, the video is on a separate YouTube account called Starfood because I think it would be weird to talk about body acne in my Cosplay YouTube account haha. Please subscribe to it !!

argh, hate the way i look in my video thumbnail =_=

The way I take care of those nasty back & chest acnes is simply by making sure I clean the skin very very well with a long body scrubber when I bath.

I double cleanse the problem areas (back & chest) with a facial cleanser after that, again utilising the shower scrubber.

After I’m done with my shower, I then apply a thin layer of pimple medication. In my case I use old fashioned Benzoyl Peroxide. I’m impatient so I use the Maximum strength one.

As I mentioned in the video, Benzoyl Peroxide is a drying/peeling agent that WILL dry the skin. So you would go through a process of peeling first before the skin totally clears up, depending on how much benzoyl peroxide you use and how severe your acne is.

Benzoyl Peroxide can also discolour clothes so I wouldn’t use it with clothes that I care a lot about.



I admit, this method might not be the most pleasant for really bad cystic acne. But I believe what this routine does is making sure the skin is clean, doesn’t get clogged up by dead skin and eliminate budding pimples before they grow into full-scale monsters.

I hope someone benefits from this entry Remember to comment and share ~~ <3

Sasa loot! Snail rejuvenating face mask!

Check out my skincare loot from Sasa a few weeks ago xD total damage $90+!!

The snail rejuvenating face mask isnt too bad. The paper felt papery and the solution was liquid like. But after having it on my face for a 2 hours, I did observe a very well moisturised skin after wards. I went to bed with just a bit of moisturiser instead of my usual essence and moisturise routine and woke up with hydrated and shine free face.

Will try it again to verify its effectiveness if I can find time to drop by. Hopefully it's still just $1!!! Hehe

Clinique Moisture surge intense (review)

Name: Clinique Moisture surge intense skin fortifying hydrator ( very dry to dry combination)
Bought from: Pink Beauty
Price: $15:90 (15ml)
Rating: 4/5


I'm not a big fan of brands and Clinique. But a while ago I was feeling the limits of my Hada Labo Moisturiser and decided to explore other moisturisers that would hydrates intensely without a sticky residue.

I went into one of those neighbourhood beauty stores and found them selling trial size of many departmental brands. After a bit of research, I picked up this product.

Overall , I like how watery the texture is . It glides onto the skin and gets absorbed very easily and the best part is, the skin stays hydrated for a long time.

I'm not at all fond of the pretty rancid plastic smell that it carries. Yes, it smells like burnt plastic. The smell fades over time but it was still nasty and made me thought I bought an expired product. but the 2nd jar smells the same so...

Pink Beauty sells a 15ml jar for $15:90 and 2 jars for $30. That roughly means this product is $1 per ml. That's pretty steep if you ask me but looking at how it's my 2nd jar, I think it is still worth the buy.

To maximise the product, I pair it with my lovely hada labo moisturiser. Which is also not super cheap but at least cheaper.
