Today’s topic is something that has been plaguing me and my friends wtf.

Actually more so me la. Ever since I was 23 I’ve been terrified of aging before my years T____T

(Everyone says I’m damn lucky for being short and looking young but it’s nonsense. For now fine la, but what happens when I get old? Tall people have the advantage of growing old gracefully and elegantly but all I’ll be is a geriatric who shrinks even more due to bone density issues wtf.)

I think it comes from having a vain mother too wtf.

Mummy Ooi got me started on washing my face with a proper facial wash MEANT for face at age 12.

I was hitting puberty so my skin had turned oily and I was starting to break out. She probably thought that the only thing worse than having a daughter who looks like this is a daughter who looks like this plus acne wtf.

I don’t remember what I used to wash my face before that. Actually I don’t remember ever washing my face before that WTF.

So Mummy Ooi put me on a careful skincare regimen of facial wash and bedak sejuk wtf.

For the non-Asians, bedak sejuk literally means ‘cold powder’ in Malay. It’s made of soaked rice water and is believed to be good for controlling oily skin and dry up pimples.

This served me well all through secondary school man.

Before I went to the US for college, my mom dragged me off to Parkson to stock up on toner and moisturizer in anticipation of the harsh New England winters.

Man I feel like a woman wtf.

Thank god she did cos when I was in Malaysia the bedak sejuk helped to counter my skin’s oiliness and the humid tropical climate. But once I stepped foot in the US, my skin did a 360 fml. The air was dry so my skin turned taut and dried out. I got on my knees and thanked Buddha for the day moisturizers and night creams my mother bought me wtf.

So now my skincare routine consisted of facial cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Then somewhere along the way, in my lifelong quest for fair skin, I added on sunblock.

College me.

So that routine went on until I graduated from college.

Then I had a life revelation…. And started worrying about aging wtf.

I switched from buying whitening products to anti-aging skincare.

I’ve always had a problem with eyebags even as a kid T_____T this photo is five years old ok.

Today I look like this. Okla I think it’s cos the five year old photo was taken during finals HAHAHA didn’t sleep eyebags worse. And today’s picture was taken after ten hours of sleep and makeup lolol.

The point is, I hate my eyebags, not only because when I smile, they ruin my eyes but because like I mentioned in a previous post, my eyebags create a crease on my upper cheeks.

And I realized even if I don’t smile, you can see the faintest hint of eyebag under my eyes T______________________T

Which is why this is the latest addition to my skincare family.

Last week I blogged about starting use of it so it’s been two weeks now.

I’m not gonna lie and say it’s miraculously done away with my eye creases la wtf. But I can honestly tell you that this cream does work hard to smooth over wrinkles – to give the appearance of smooth skin because of its light reflecting properties and to moisturize my skin.

Because of its texture (when it dries it becomes super smooth) I use it as a primer too. When I don’t need to wear makeup now I just pat this on my skin after moisturizing, slap on some sunblock and tadah all done.

See never smile also can see a hint of line under my eye T_________T

After using some smoothening app hahahaha. HOW TO GET EYES LIKE THIS TELL ME HOW

Acting twelve.

Actually why I’m writing this is cos today I went to see a doctor and he told me that there is mild sagging around my jaw area T____________T He said this is and premature wrinkles are totally normal but still T__________T

Time, I will not give up without a fight wtf.

Anyway if you’re my age and are exploring anti-aging, wrinkle prevention options, give this Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing cream a try. If you do, come back and lemme know if it worked for you!
