MY EXPERIENCE WITH PROACTIVE

Friday, February 6, 2009

I bought Proactive when I was still in 3rd Yr. High School (December, 2005). I'm still a High School student so it's hard for me to earn money right? So I started to save money from July to December. P3995 is not so easy to earn. I didn't ask money from my parents or to anyone because I don't want them to know that I'm using a very expensive product. They'll just stop me from buying it.

I first saw Proactive in the tv! I watched its advertisement everyday for a month. I also searched for it on the internet to have more ideas about it. And I always see it in the magazines! Its endorsers are very famous like the very beautiful Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson and many more. Because I was so convinced that Proactive is really a good product, I decided to buy it.

(Fast Forward)... Month of December! I already have P4000! I brought a big bag with me so I can put Proactive there. Btw, I don't order the Proactive via phone. I have to go to the mall to buy it. I went to Watsons to buy Proactive. I put the product inside my bag and I'm so excited to go home! Before I open the box, I prayed first. Then I opened the box! My hands were shaking while holding the Proactive products.

I used Proactive for two months, and the result is really good! My face has really improved. The acne scars were also fading. But after 2 months, since I don't have Proactive anymore, pimples started to form again. Proactive should be used continuously. And because I didn't have money to buy for a new one, I just looked for other products that is alot cheaper than Proactive.

If you would ask me if I will recommend Proactive. Yes! I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have the money. It worked well for me, and I know it will also work well for you.

AFRAID TO LOOK AT THE MIRROR

Who's not afraid to look at the mirror? Raise your hand! .... Wow! You're so lucky if you raised your hand!

Since the day I had this acne, looking at the mirror has become one of my fears especially during morning after I woke up. Before I look at the mirror, I will close my eyes first and slowly open it. "Tada!" I still have lots of pimples on my face! Every night I pray, hoping that the next morning, when I look at my face, I will see a clear face... no acne and acne scars... But until now, I still suffer from acne. But it's okay, I know God has a better plan for me. :)

Is there anyone who's also afraid to look at the mirror? Or I'm the only one? haha! What are your preparations before you look at the mirror? Do you say "I'm so handsome/beautiful" every time you see yourself at the mirror? Because sometimes, I do that! I'd say "I'm so handsome!" because it's true! I'm handsome and cute. haha! No one is ugly right? So even though you have acne on your face, you still look good! Believe in yourself! One day, your dream, our dream.. will finally come true! Don't stop praying, have faith in God. God bless everyone! Have a wonderful day! :)

HOW TO COVER/HIDE YOUR PIMPLE

Thursday, February 5, 2009

I'm not fond of using make-up to hide my acne since I'm a guy. When I have pimple, I will just put a little powder to lighten up the redness. But when my High School graduation came, I'm so desperate and I don't want my acne to ruin that special day, I asked my sister to put a foundation on my face just to hide my pimples. And she did a nice job! I look good in all my graduation pictures.

Lately, I've been using foundation again to hide my pimples but not on the whole face. I apply it on the spot only. But I'm not good in applying make up that's why my friends always knew whenever I'm trying to hide my pimples. I'm so embarrassed every time they'd ask me, "Do you put foundation?" I don't know what to say.. I'll just reply "a little bit". And I'll turn red! XD

I know it's not recommended to apply make-up because it can cause breakouts, that's why I'm only using it if really needed.. examples:

1. A DATE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND. Ofcourse I should look good whenever I'm with my lovely sweetie. :)
2. DURING SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

And I'm using The Body Shop's Foundation with SPF 15. It's my sisters' foundation and she doesn't have any idea that I'm using it. When I apply the foundation, I use a very small amount only and instead of using my fingers, I put the foundation in a cotton bud and apply it on my face.
