The Art of Porcelain Skin - Confession of a Hopeful Cynic

I am at wit's end.
Unpredictable, complex, troubled, mysterious, elusive, sunshine one moment, rain-clouds the next. You never know what to expect. These words are only desirable when we are describing a Byronic hero.

But I'm talking about my skin right now.

I am starting this blog so I can share my skincare routines, my woes with different products, and hopefully, I can change my life around and finally achieve the perfect porcelain skin I desire. OK, that is a bit far-fetched right now. At least, I aim to achieve
trouble-free skin, because there are too many things in life to tackle than been bothered by your skin. 


First of all, let me describe my skin type. 
- I have very pale and thin skin, which means it tolerates NO blemishes. 
- My skin is sensitive and prone to redness. 
- I  used to have combination skin during High School days and prone to breakouts, but now, I have dry skin and developed eczema since a year ago.
- My eczema comes and goes, I suspect it's linked to certain foods (definitely alcohol consumption) and weather conditions. 
- Yet, I'm still prone to breakouts, so I get a spot here and there, when I use overly greasy moisturiser for my eczema problem.

Oh dear, try to deal with that!
 


Insanity and stupidity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. 


So, I have finally decided to IMPROVE my overall health and wellbeing; and as a result, improve my healthy, body, skin, hair and mentality!!! I believe health and beauty comes from both within and out, it's about our eating habits, exercise routine, lifestyles, as well as what products we put on our faces. 

Rough winds do shake the darlings buds of May, but thy eternal summer shall not fade!
