Assalamualaikum and hello!
I hope my fellow readers are all in good health and happy mood :) I have been very busy with internship placement like applying here and there, nervously waiting for the replies, and also going for interviews. Phew, I was told by a senior not to stress too much on internship but being a nerdy perfectionist, I just can't help feeling insecure about it >.< It is nerve-wrecking you know, and the zits kept on popping making me more stressed =_='' I really should learn how to keep calm and chillax, hehe! Anyone has ideas how to keep calm and chillax? Tell me tell me!
Okay as you can see from the title of this post, I decided to make a new series called Fabulous Finds. I know it sounds like the first beauty box subscription in Malaysia, please don't sue me for non-originality but I just love the phrase! Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to copy anybody and please tell me if I am violating any copyrights and I'll surely change it! In my series of Fabulous Finds, I will be mentioning a brief intro and probably some simple review on whatever I found interesting and helpful, regardless the topic/item/services. I hope I will be consistent and persistent enough to keep my site lively apart from beauty reviews :)
Now I'm very excited to tell you about OXY Powder Lotion that I am currently using as a toner. I won this product from Tammy's giveaway along with a handful of Mentholatom products. FYI, I have been battling with a very nasty breakout that none of my blemish care products can cure since one month and half back (T_T) it is very devastating to see my skin condition, particularly on the forehead being invaded by pimples. Maybe the blemish care products I used are not strong enough to banish them, or my skin is too congested to absorb the solutions, I don't know =_='' anybody wanna sponsor me some excellent acne treatments? *tak malu me XD*
Back to the main topic! OXY Powder Lotion claims to prevent blemishes, have oil control power and unclog pores. I have been using them for about 3 weeks, and what I can say is that :- it helps controlling my oily skin (control sebum production? is that the right term?)
- my skin stays matte longer than before I started using it (without makeup on, indoors)
- can't really say it prevent blemishes but frequent use proved that it controls the size of my pimples
- acne/pimple marks became less prominent (but not fully disappear) with frequent use
There's another phenomenon I encountered when using it. I wiped the cotton pad soaked with OXY Powder Lotion on my nose and guess what? I found some tiny black residues on the cotton pad! Are those blackheads? Yes, I am certain they are. Only 2-3 blackheads (I can't believe I counted them XD) but it is something, for me :) Other effects I felt upon using OXY Powder Lotion is that it gives cooling sensation upon application (menthol is among the ingredients) and it doesn't make my skin feel tight.
So, I think that's all for now. I'll be making an in-depth review about this product, lets hope I'll have more to tell you in the next post ^_^
Tell me, have you ever used this product? Or, do you have anything similar to suggest?
thanks for dropping by ^_^
