You know how I used to be super ugly as a kid?
Flat, skinny, buck toothed, huge thick glasses and dark.
And thank goodness I changed. Grew some boobs, got braces and contacts and discovered the beauty of shade and sun protection products.
Of all the differences mentioned above, staying fair is the most consistently demanding of all. I wasn’t born naturally fair skinned and I’m obsessed to the point of obsession with having delicate fair skin.
Now this is the most basic of basic of my sun protection products.
My trusty umbrella.
Very versatile, can be used as a prop in photos.
As a study aide (I was truly writing my thesis under that umbrella ok)
And of course, protection from the sun.
Got so many varieties of umbrella I’ve used over the years.
But truthfully, umbrellas are the least sufficient of sun protection products.
What you really need are things like sunblock and whitening products with UV protection and stuff. (all of which I use regularly hoho)
Olay is trying to educate people about the importance of protecting your skin. Olay Natural White is a cream that is filled with vitamins to feed your skin so fairness can come from within.
They’ve come up with a game where you go around Paris collecting vitamins (and racking up scores) to win Iphones, Sony Cybershot cameras and Olay Natural White products.
Register and log in to the game and you’ll find yourself…
In Paris!
There’s a shopping mall, a club, the supermarket, a park, a restaurant and even the Metro for you to explore.
There’s even a Giant hypermarket there! If you click on it, a window opens up and offers you a RM2 discount off Olay Natural White cream (20g) you buy.
Anyway, you get to play games in all the different locations and collect your vitamins.
My favourite one was the club! The game was basically Bejeweled (my favourite online game EVER), but instead of jewels I had to arrange cocktails into rows to win.
The one I failed at miserably was the DDR one. I was in the park and I needed to do some aerobic DDR to keep fit but I am so bad at this! Plus my keyboard wasn’t sensitive T_T
After every game you need to apply those vitamins to your face again to replenish after getting dark (whole day out in the sun ok what do you expect!!)
Freckles and tanned skin be gone!
Couldn’t find my scoreboard except at the bottom of the game.
Have fun playing yourself! Spent like 2 nights playing it and still couldn’t get into the list of Top Scorers *dark face
Kidding! With all the skincare I use how can my face be dark HAHA funny.
Oh and I tag to do this:
Suet
Tze
Jammie
Ringo
Cindy

Isn’t it funny how in North America most people want to be dark instead of pale like in Asian countries? haha I don’t know why.. guess it’s just the preference. I’m Malaysian but I want to be darker.. I’m much too pale -.-

Of all products I used Olay is the most effective one lar.. others like don’t have much effects nie..

i was watching Miss Hong Kong 2009 and i found ur twin sister!! contestant no. 8 Mizuni looks exactly like u!! go google it!!
I love Olay products – back then it was called “Oil of Ulan”. There was another famous cold face cream in Malaysia those days, something Snow. Anyways, the sun is scorching here in Florida! Sigh!
i am not good in games >.<

kelly: i know! when i was in america, everyone looked at me like i was crazy for carrying around an umbrella in the sun. and i was aghast at how they lay outside to tan themselves =0

*HeHe*
yea hot is of course better…when it is cold..you have to wear don’t know how many layers of clothing…can’t even make yourself look good since all the layers of clothing will make you look big..and you will be wearing all sots of hats which cover more than half of your face…haha…
as long as it is not too hot then it will be good…how fortunate it is for me that it is turning autumn now..hehe…
I used to have very dark skin tone as a kid. After my primary school, I stayed in most of the time and avoid sun exposure whenever possible, I become fairer and fairer. Now, I use sunblock to protect my skin. The most reliable product is of Olay. I heart Olay.
joycezhi: hahaha with makeup she looks ok! like me i guess! wtf
jade: ya i do! not so much dark circles but eyebags! i put on foundation first then my benefit concealer over it!
cheong hao: are you in uk or the us!
sam: yea me too! fair nice skin takes work 😀
i am in us, why??? there are states where it is very very hot and the totally opposite of it…
