title: Natural Skincare Regimen - Oil Cleansing Method
date: Sunday, January 25, 2015 time : 10:48 PM
I still receive coming email & msg for this.
Really really sorry for the long wait for those who had emailed me about your interest to join in my next order to share on the shipping cost for the order of this Natural Unrefined Cold-pressed Avocado Oil.
This bottle of Avocado Oil really last me a long way...so that's why - but wait no more, cause I'm gonna place order to try Castor oil from GOW, for use as Deep Cleansing with this - using Oil Cleansing Method to deep cleanse my pores to help clear my really stubborn closed comedones which have been there for years.
I have been using this Avocado Oil as a night anti-aging moisturizer to balance the production of skin's natural oil secretion, hence this also do very well to prevent acnes too.
A month ago, my skin goes a little hormone-crazy again, overproduction of sebum (I got to watch my diet and lifestyle again), but this time unlike the past, I got almost ZERO breakouts from it, but quite a number of new whiteheads appeared. Believed is the help of avocado oil, it doesn't turn that horribly into acnes.
For the fact: Oil dissolves oil.
So 2 weeks ago, I decided to try on OCM - basic cleansing using avocado oil. And the result amazed me again, those whiteheads got smaller and smaller then gone.
The Basic Cleansing OCM protocol I followed....
Choose an natural oil that work best for you, unrefined cold-pressed jojoba, grapeseed, hazelnut, olive, and avocado oils are all good options.
Lay a hot washcloth over my face to open up the pores. Pour oil into the palm. Rub over my face in a circular motion for over a minute then I leave it for around 10 mins.
Then I lay a hot washcloth over my face again. Wait until it cools, then repeat 2 to 3 times. With this, the steam draws out the loosened impurities from the pores. Gently wipe away the remaining oil.
Lastly, I lay a cool washcloth over my face to close the pores.
---------------------
I still have those really old stubborn closed comedones though, that's why I'm tempted to try OCM - deep cleansing now.
So friends here who had emailed me to join my order, I will reply your email tomorrow, so do check your mail and reply me with your order. Let me know if you don't receive my reply by Wednesday yay ;)
Ps. What works for me, may not work for you. There are many reviews and info around. Do read up more about it before decide whether to give it a try.

title: The miracle in a bottle!
date: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 time : 1:48 PM
I never, ever thought I would be slathering Avocado oil (moreover one that's uses as
cooking oil) on my face every night. This does more amazing for my skin than
the bottled beauty product.
Before I move on to that…
My skin condition
I never have perfect skin, my skin is easily clogged and acne-proned if I
didn’t take good cares of my diet or skin. It is actually oily but yet very
dehydrated...a very frustrating combination.
It was very well-controlled after I'm on healthy diet to balance my hormones,
but I saw even tremendous improvement ever since I started strictly using this
‘Unrefined Cold-pressed Avocado oil’ 6 months back.
Everyone knows Avocado! and I love it and am eating avocado almost every
single day
but
what about Avocado oil?
[From Wikipedia] Avocado oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit of the
Persea americana (avocado). As a food oil, it is used as an ingredient in other
dishes, and as a cooking oil. It is also used for lubrication and in cosmetics,
where it is valued for its supposed regenerative and moisturizing properties.
The reason I choose Cold-pressed Unrefined
AVOCADO OIL
The Avocado Oil which is cold-pressed from the fruit of the Avocado, means
the oils are mechanically extracted from the fruit by a machine which applies
pressure and not heat. There are no heat or chemicals, or harmful refining
processes are used in the extraction of the oil hence it retains all its
natural properties. The vitamins and minerals are therefore in their purest
forms and the colour and odour remain natural; darker green color with a
characteristic odor. So, I would highly recommend using only cold-pressed and
unrefined Avocado Oil to get optimal benefits and results.
What does AVOCADO OIL contain and
its known
benefits of avocado oil to skin?
It is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E, as well as lecithin, protein,
linoleic acid, phytosterols,
pantothenic acid, beta-carotene, amino acids, essential fatty acids and mineral
potassium. Antioxidants
like vitamins A, D and E in avocado cause the skin to be suppler, and are thus
particularly good for dry or aged skin. It also help soothing the skin; reduce
itching and inflammation of the skin.
It contains high Vitamin A, which would help to explain the refining
& firming properties. The high contents also in sterolins, which imparts a
superior moisturizing effect
and able to help facilitate the softening of the skin, leaving it well hydrated
hence it also supporting in healing extreme dry skin, eczema, or even
psoriasis. Sterolins
are also well known for rejuvenating, healing, boosting collagen production to
reduce signs of aging and to
reduce the incidence of age spots, help heal sun damage and scars. This
also aids in healing blemishes on a person’s skin.
The oils extracted from fruits are very similar to that of our skins naturally producing oil, sebum. These oils have the ability to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin with its thin consistency, delivering abundant results! It is also thick enough to serve as a protective barrier on the skin, makes it ideal for mature skins. Sound so awesome right?! Not only that, it....
Moisturize the Skin. When applied, avocado oil
not only softens the surface of the skin but easily penetrates the upper
layers. It is an extremely good moisturizing and nourishing compound, assisting
in the regeneration and rejuvenation of dehydrated and undernourished skin. Avocado oil applied topically
helps relieve dry and itchy skin. Once applied, avocado oil is deeply absorbed
by the skin, thus making it an ideal moisturizer and skin care agent.
Increase Collagen
Production naturally.
Avocado oil carries vital vitamins and essential fatty acids below the
surface of the skin and trials have shown that the oil could play an important
part in delaying skin degeneration and slowing signs of aging. When applied, avocado oil
increases the production of collagen in the skin and softening the
tissue, which helps
keep the skin smooth, firm, plump and decreases the effects of aging.
Treat Skin
Conditions.
Avocado oil is useful in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions,
including acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Boost Scalp
Health. In
addition to helping clear scaly skin, it can also relieve itchy scalp symptoms or
dandruff. Avocado oil,
when regularly applied to the scalp, can stimulate hair growth.
I just started using it on my hair, gonna make it a habit to apply it on my hair daily as my hair really 'cui' now. Hope it works great on hair like what others had reviewed.
Now, what interest
you most are here……………
What it did to my skin?!
Being one with oily skin type, used to be acne-prone who suffering from horrible
break-outs twice before, I’m always scared with applying oils and moisturizer on
my face. However, my skin is extremely dehydrated due to the use of Retin A gel
for years which often cause peeling and flaky skin. Dry on the surface but is
actually oily inside so I have to be really careful with the moisturizers I use
as it may easily cause breakouts. I only go for moisturizer from my dermatologist
who knows my skin well but those just doesn't do a great job enough. My oily
yet dehydration-problem has become really annoying, since makeup clings to the
dry skin surface making the flaky skin more obvious.
After using this Avocado Oil for a strict 6 months every night, I can swear
the benefit of this Avocado oil.
This avocado oil not only softens the surface of the skin but penetrates
extremely well the upper layers and be easily absorbed by the skin than any
other moisturizer & beauty oil to hydrate my skin and calmed my skin from
Retin A. It doesn’t leave my skin oily resulting clogged pores and yet it does
a good job of moisturizing; really helps greatly in balancing my skin’s natural
oil secretion.
Not only that, it plump up the skin, making skin feel more supple, fine
lines are lessened too.
It is also the Only NATURAL moisturizer, not only it won't exacerbate acne,
but it helps heal breakouts. It even clears out my pores and prevents future acne
really well. The oil seems to be doing the job in breaking up the solidified
sebum/dead skin cell plugs in pores, which ultimately create acne eruptions. Even
if once every few months I get one acne, I don’t even apply pimple gel at night
anymore. Next day I will wake up to the acne looking less red and swell, it
seems to act as an anti-inflammatory. Must be its anti-bacterial properties, acne just heals much faster!
As for the pores size, I was yet to see any different as other users claimed
but my pores is definitely cleaner.
Before I start using this avocado oil, my skin usually gets very oily in the
morning especially on the T-zone but now everyday I wake up to skin that
doesn't resemble what I went to bed with: all the oil absorbs into my skin
overnight, and I woke up feeling my skin soft, supple and never oily.
I let my gfs samples it, all love it and join in my order and got a bottle of their own.
 Parcel arrived on 25 September, just in time as my bottle was finishing soon. 'A beautiful overnight treatment.' THUMB UP
How I use Avocado Oil as an
overnight beauty treatment?
Each night after masking or/and make sure to cleanse my face well; pores to
be clear of dirt and gunk to maximize the benefit of the avocado oil. I will
pat dry my face, leaving a little damped face and would quickly put about
20cents coin size of the oil onto the palm of my clean hand and rub the oil
between my palms and press the oil all over my face all the way to neck then
chest so as to lock the moisture. Then follow with facial scraping (Gua Sha) to
fight the gravity that causes the aging. Half an hour later I will do facial
exercise to build the facial muscle for face lifting then will apply Retin A.
Using avocado oil and retin A help greatly in firming the skin. I use it on my whole
body too if I don’t get too lazy.
FYI, I only apply avocado oil at night as this oil is too much for the day
It's also greasy when you apply it and it takes a while to absorb into the
skin. But trust me, you will wake up to a more soft and plumped skin next day.
I'm
using such a natural, chemical free product for my beauty needs and that it
actually works better than other more expensive products.
So
amazing that I can't even believe it.
It
just works so well for my skin that I gave it all stars!!
Star rating: 
Many of my ig follower emailed, request for the video link on the face gua sha (facial scraping) I followed from. Here the links to share with my readers here too. I combined both and do it 5-10 strokes gently on each area in an upward motion only, I did twice daily. At the same time, I also did facial exercise daily for anti-aging since I'm entering mid 30's.
Wanna combat aging in a natural way!
Hope you like this post :D

title: Skin polish to smoother new skin
date: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 time : 11:40 AM
Since I did this once a month DIY
body treatment last night, I will write about this amazing 'Skin Polish Bath'
first. My best skin polish ever, natural baking soda (Reds Mill has Organic
Baking soda) + natural Method Pure Naked Body Wash, create it into a paste. It's just like after
getting a microdermabrasion treatment, a natural exfoliator doing amazing job
at removing those dead cell, the outer layer of the skin which is the culprit
for skin dullness, roughness and wrinkles.
This not only for skin renewal but
also for better absorption of skincare (no chemicals in the after care
products, you don’t want your new skin soaking all that in).
u
can read up more online, some people have their scientific said that it
is not good on skin cause of the strong PH. But still I decided to try
it and I love it cause my dark spot on my arm are lightened so much, not
very sure is it because of this or dry brushing but I think it does
contribute slightly. Do read up because you decide whether or not to
try. Once a month is the max. :)
Read more at http://web.stagram.com/n/2minidimples/#cPZEEWqkTo7jJr5w.99 
I still don’t dare to try it on my
face as I have pretty sensitive skin on my face. I don’t want to risk it on my
face so I give it a try on my body instead and I spot test it before rubbing it
in a circular motion over my body. Rinse it off with water, pat dry my skin and apply natural jojoba oil (amazing properties of balancing the skin) on my skin.
If you are allergic to baking soda
(or have sensitive skin), your skin may become irritated and red after using
baking soda. Please take extra precaution, do a spot test, if it irritate your
sensitive skin, stop using it immediately
Many people use as follows:
A face exfoliator./ Deep Cleansing
Some people find that plain baking
soda on its own is grainy enough to be a gentle scrub. You can also add a
teaspoon to your cleanser or add a tablespoon each of baking soda and water
along with 2 teaspoons of oat flour to get a deeper cleaning.
Acne and Blackheads
Baking soda will not only clean and
help with acne, it also helps remove blackheads and smooth your skin! People
use baking soda for skin care in the form of an acne mask. After washing your
face, mix a teaspoon of baking soda with warm water until you have a paste and
apply it all over your face. Leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and rinse off
with warm water.
Well, So far I love it because my dark spot on my arm are lightened so much, not very sure is it benefited from of this or dry brushing but I think it does contribute slightly. Once a month is the max if I’m too worry Here some other read  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/08/27/baking-soda-natural-remedy.aspx  http://wakeup-world.com/2012/05/07/51-amazing-uses-for-baking-soda/
