Life’s Lessons

Razors are one handy accessory men cannot probably live without, or women too included. It is such an essential tool in one’s grooming and personal hygiene. Razors are a clever invention that can make or break a person, literally. If properly used, razors can make someone look pretty, for women that is, with unwanted hair gone in just minutes, and for men, making them gorgeous and handsome with no unsightly mustache or beards. Razors can cause breaks too, or cuts should I say, or razor bumps, those small, irritated bumps on the skin that develop after shaving when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin. Razor bumps can cause irritations and develop pimples.

So that probably is the reason why I see small skin irritation in my hubby’s face. He needs to have his razor blades changed, at least every week or more often if needed to prevent razor bumps and burns. He also has to clean the razors with alcohol. Prior to shaving, he has to use or place shaving creams or gels to soften his skin. Hubby also has to shave in the direction of the hair growth and that he doesn’t have to apply too much pressure or shave close to the skin. I have no idea if he knows these basic shaving dos and don’ts. I bet he has forgotten them because his razor burns are quite a few and they’re obvious. I just hope that he’ll heed these simple tips.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

I haven’t got a facial wash for more than a month now and I was sharing with Ace’ since then. We are using the same brand but we have different skin type so we are using different variant. Since I was using Timewise from NUSkin 5 years ago, I didn’t dare try to shift to other brand because my skin is sensitive to other skin care products. Hence, I kept on maintaining the said product. Others say it is costly but the truth is, it is not. It more costly using other products that they buy for more that $3 that is good for a month’s use only while the Timewise we are using only costs us $25 for a year and the result is far beyond compare to the local brands with harsh ingredients that irritates the skin and eventually cause early aging. Anyway, I wanna try other NUS product such as the Tru Face Essences that was mentioned by one of our godmother before. She’s also a loyal user of NUS products. One of the main composition of NUSkin’s Tru Face Essences is the Ethocyn that prevents early skin aging. Ethocyn is solely produced and distributed by Chantal Pharmaceuticals for NUSkin products. Hence, for a baby-soft and younger looking skin with a natural glow, try NUSkin’s Tru Face Essences to help prevent skin’s natural aging.     

The skin on the face is the most delicate as they say. So, it must be taken care of more than any other part of the body. Yet, with the many skin care products in the market, it’s really hard to chose. The most important thing to consider in choosing a skin product is the ingredients. It must be natural and noncomedogenic so that you will not suffer from cosmetic allergy like me.

Yes, I suffered from cosmetic allergy 5 years back. I used a beauty product that doens’t “match” to my skin type. I wasn’t aware it was cosmetic allergy until I consulted a dermatologist. I thought it has something to do with pressure at work but I am absolutely wrong. So, the dermatologist adviced me to stop using my facial wash and moisturizer for the meantime and observe on the result. After a week or two, my pimples are gone. Read more… »
