The 'Tsubaki' hair treatment I used to substitute for a conditioner because it is cheaper than a conditioner and it had me at tsubaki. I once bought this Japanese Tsubaki shampoo online before and from what I remember it had satisfactory results. What I didn't like from it was it made my hair oily at the end of the day, plus the fact that it is very expensive (700 per 220ml). But these days that my tresses need a little taming, I think I need a little tsubaki action. Okay naman siya. I like the minty feel on my scalp and my hair does feel soft afterwards. Buhaghag pa rin nga lang.
The discolored patch under my mouth has resurfaced AGAIN which explains the three products for facial care. AC bought Maxi-peel facial scrub before and I kinda liked it so I bought another one. I use it alternately with the St. Ives Green Tea Scrub (ang tagal maubos! Mas type ko pa rin ang Apricot Scrub). I haven't tried the carrot soap yet because I used the Outzit soap first. I have tried several Snoe products before and I wasn't happy with them so I was a little skeptical about buying another soap from them, but I was DESPERATE and would try anything to cure the worsening fate of my skin. So for 200 bucks, I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best that this one will work its magic. So it's been a month already and I'm still using the soap and I'm very happy with the results ☺ Tiis lang kasi you have to leave it on your face for two minutes and when it's sitting on your face for that long, it starts to sting like crazy! But man, I love that soap and I recommend it to those with pimple problems.
Here's an update on the wonder cream I was raving about four months ago. Turns out it not-so-wonderful pala. Since the literature was in Chinese, I didn't understand a thing. It doesn't have lead or mercury but it should not be used on mucous membranes and it is where I apply it on! ¡Qué horror! So instead of lightening the area (which it did during the first few days I was using it), it burned the area and left it even darker. Frakkit.
So there goes another round of trial and error with myself as the guinea pig. Anyway... I have new product stashes from MM and AB.
These are from AB

And these are from MM
My favorite from this stash is the Garnier Roll-on for dark under eye circles. AC and I used it as a concealer for MM's wedding and effective siya. A close second is the Sephora Super-lift Eye Contour which I always forget to apply before going to sleep. Napansin ko nga puro eye product. Naisip ko, ganun na ba ako ka-haggard tingnan? Haha.
While in Roxas, I bought another product to try- Skinmate Shark Oil. I heard over the radio that it can treat sunburn on the face so I thought I needed to try it. So try it, I did. Verdict: Laos. The discoloration got darker and more noticeable.
So I finally remember what it is I originally thought of blogging about- my sorry life. Ha. Emo much? Well, I had my annual physical exam last week and I got the results today. I was worried about my blood sugar, most of all. Creatinine and lipid test aren't included. Buti na lang I got the doctor recommend that those tests be included also. Findings: I have fatty liver. The Chinese doctor already told me that but Western medicine confirming it is tragic. I guess I'd have to say goodbye to cheese, chocolates, mocha frappes and everything else I love to eat... for now. You see, fatty liver disease is a reversible condition so when everything normalizes again, I can indulge once again (but with caution).
I'm scheduled for two ultrasounds- liver and ovaries- on Monday. Wish me luck!
