The things we do to our faces

Yes, things we do to get rid of acne. From lotions, to ointments, to toners to miracle creams, all promising to get rid of the horrible red, white, boils on your face. Too bad some of it don't work at all, some even aggravate acne even more, worst of all, even if it does clear up your acne problem, the acne will still come back. Its a on going battle on your skin!. It starts and usually end during puberty but some unlucky people it continue on till they are in their 50s. I still have it (reason why I still have products to treat acne). Acne is cause both by bacteria and androgen stimulation. A pharmacist told me, women usually gets it during their period which is the time their hormones changes according to the stages of their period,and men gets it because they produce more androgen than women. Bacteria plays an important role too since acne provides a passage way for the bacteria to penetrate our skin. Yeah, I think I am gonna keep a stock of the acne solutions for a very long time, since acne seem to appear the least when you want it. So wash that face, apply that acne ointment and get on with life. It will still come back anyway so might as well deal with it and don't let it stop your life. Just bitch slap anyone concerning about your skin, just say you infected them with your acne (you can't get infected with acne from someone suffering from it), it probably give them something to think about. Who wants to risk it right?

Underneath Your Clothes, There Is A Different Story.

I hate sweaty arm pits. I hate it when I can actually feel the sweat trickling down my arm. A damp pit on your shirt is not very appealing to many. It kinda ruins your whole look that you do. One cannot be like the Hollywood stars and get botox injection to your armpits. Apparently other than wrinkles, it works great to prevent excessive sweating. However its too expensive and I am not sure having a needle jab into my arm pit. What's worst that is that sweaty arm pits can cause B.O.

There is nothing worst like body odor or known as B.O to some. It ruins job interviews, failed relationships, causes panic and increases anger level. Exaggerating? I think most of us has experienced how B.O can really make your day turn sour. What does one do? Do we have to become mouth breather, practice holding our breath as long as possible, or spray some perfume and that god forsaken pits. Don't confuse this with natural body smell. Some people do smell naturally good, blame the pheromones for this unique scent that is present in everyone.

These two problem related with each other and can cause discomfort to the person and those around them. Sure there is deodorant and anti perspirant in the market, but sometimes certain brands or certain application of deodorant do not work well on others.

My brother has terrible anti perpirant problem. He gets so sweaty and wet, it turned into the most horrific and foul smelly B.O. He tries to wear deodorant from all brands and type but none of it worked well enough for him. Somehow along the way, we noticed he stopped smelling foul and is dry enough for us to touch. He told us his secret. He uses a Speedstick Anti Perspirant and Deodorant and a Nivea Dry Impact for Men. He claims this was the combination to stop him from sweating. A stick type deodorant that is then covered by a spray type. I did not really believe his combination until I tried it myself. However, I used a Rexona Roll On deodorant and Nivea Dry Impact combination. The result, my underarms were dry. They usually get wet easily even by the slightest sweating, but not when I used the combination. It was a pleasant surprise for my self. Maybe some of you may think that the Nivea spray deodorant is the reason for the dryness, but I used the spray before and did not like how the vapours enter my nose. So I do believe both combination provided an excellent protection and coverage to me.

A friend of mine has this terrible B.O problem, but so far we did not pin point it to excessive sweating. Since his underarms were relatively dry. So it has to be B.O. A blogger friend of mine swears that using Nivea Whitening for women has cured his problem. It sounded strange, but it worked for him. So I decided to try and recommended it to my friend with the B.O problem. He hesitated at first but after I told him he really did stink and before this I did not had the guts to talk about it to him but after he said his girlfriend sometime complain that he does, I straight away spilled the beans to him and he gave in. The results? It really worked, Nivea Whitening roll on work to combat B.O. Now I don't have to open the windows when he rides in my car.
