Better Complexion for Men

I have terrible skin IMO. I really do. It’s feels like sandpaper when I caress my face.

I started really late with my facial care, like my late 20′s. Being a jock doesn’t help too, always outdoors and sweating. Maybe that’s why now I’m making up for the loss-of-vainpot-time like it matters eh, keke. I’m not literally being ballistic vainpot about it of course, just that I want a better complexion ya know. My ultimate goal is to have it smooth as my butt of course, haha, if not at least it should be presentable.

Before my facial care routine, I would only used a bar soap or the body foam to clean my face during shower. That’s it.

There was once when I in my teens when I was concerned about my zits. My mum gave me this old Javanese powder thingie. You wet it, apply on your face and it will harden. Like a mud-mask, but totally smelly. After applying it once, I never did try it again, cannot tahan (stand) the smell lah. But the good thing about me, I never did squeeze my pimples, so I’m spared from the pockmarks and scars.

I totally believe that to look good, the beauty product should smell good too lah. Boys is not all stinky ya know, we like to smell good too.

I’ve blogged about this facial stuff before in fact, and since then I’ve taken up some of your advice. Thanks all. I’ve been doing it on a consistent basis. So any more advice? I’m looking for ways that I can do my facial care within the comfort of my home. None of those laser treatment or beauty salon please. I’m not that vain!

Also with my upcoming date, I need all the help I can get, haha. Using the term date is so ‘formal’. It’s like I’m setting out myself for failure. How about I call it fun-time. Much better and a more relaxed feel to it kan.

This is what I’ve been doing so far:

1. Twice daily of clean, tone, moisturize.
2. Twice weekly of facial scrub.
3. Weekly facial mask.
4. Weekly steaming of face.
5. Using sunblock stuff for face and lips when outdoors.

So any more tips people?
