Searching for the perfect skin care products that matches your skin type can be very tricky. My journey to the perfect skin care products was quite long too. In fact, I still haven't found the perfect moisturiser for me. Nothing that really suitable for my oily skin.
I have to admit, living with oily skin type can be a misfortune especially when the environment itself isn't compromising. Malaysia, hot and damp climate is really promoting my skin towards sweat, acne and all you could imagine.
I remember getting my first cleanser at 10 years old. It was Clean&Clear and I don't think that version is available anymore. It was just okay for my skin and that was it. I didn't use anything else but just that. I didn't know what was toner or scrub. Nope. No knowledge of that at all.
At 15, my mum introduced me to Sabun Pembersih Muka Tia Amelia (pretty sure some of you know this!). This one is a local product and it is still available till today. You can find it anywhere in some local retailer. This cleanser gave me a drastic change in just a month. My face turned flawless as fuck hell. No kidding. In fact, less acne and less oily too. So I loved it. And I've been using it for years.
Until I was 20, I decided to stop using it and moving forward to a better skin care routine. This is when I discovered a lot of new things.
Back to my current skin care products, let's start off with my cleanser:-

Himalaya Oil Control Lemon Face Wash |

Simple Facial Toner |
I am using this moisturiser temporarily and still in search for a good one:-

Guardian Aloe Vera Gel |
My scrub:-

St Ives Green Tea Scrub |
And for my mask, I'm using two products because I'm extra liddat 😎:-

Yellowgorgeous Mask |

Freeman Claymask |
Let's not forget my sunblock:-
![]() |
Biore Perfect Protect Milk |
My acne and scar treatment:-

Cosmoderm Vitamin E Cream (scar) |
Lastly, my makeup remover:-

Garnier Micellar Water |
Another extra routine I do sometimes is wearing a sleeping mask. Trust me, it's nothing special but very common to some and that is 'bedak sejuk'. Back then, this was my every night routine and with a consistent use, it does reduces scar and blemishes, leaving your face flawless. When my grandma was still healthy, she made her own 'bedak sejuk'. Now, I just bought them at pharmacy. Another thing I noticed about 'bedak sejuk' is I would wake up the next morning, with a clean, non oily face! So I really recommend those who are on a tight budget, 'bedak sejuk' might be your saviour because it's really cheap!
Again, I know to some beginners this might a lot, right? Well, it is.
But beauty is pain, isn't it? I am suggesting that you start off slowly. Three things that are very crucial and a must! Those are:-
- cleanser
- moisturiser
- sunblock
If you already have all three, then good for you! You can start doing some savings for toner and so on.
If you don't, do not panic! Find these three things and you'll be alright 🙂
Good luck, beauties! 😘😘
