Become Better

I think Skinfood helped me... 
another friend met me during a meeting. She said you look great and skin looking better. 
ha ha... Instead of the very passive response, I responded that I use skinfood. Apparently, my friend has not heard of such brand and they thought I was joking about it. =) Then i told them that the existence of such brand. Does skinfood has products for ladies too?

anyway, stay happy and it makes your feel good! when you feel good, your body reacts to it and makes to look GOOD too!

Have a nice day!

Skinfood Sea Weed Emulsion for Man

This is what I use for after facial cleansing. It's Korean product. I did not buy it intentionally. I was accompanying a female friend shopping for her own cosmetics. She was trying all the things there and I was sitting down and felt nothing to do. There were two sales girls there and they had skincare products for man, so I just started chatting with one of them, mainly me asking questions. What's good for facial wash, what do I do after wash... is there anything else I shall do after emulsion...etc.
We also talked about perfume and she showed me some good stuff and some fake stuff. Surprising, quite alike... I think for perfume/colognes, it is still acceptable to see fake stuff... however, it is totally unacceptable for facial wash, emulsion, lotion, sun block or treatment... theses stuff are supposed to help not to further damage our already delicate skins.

If I remember to apply the emulsion, I usually do it after washing my face. it feels pretty good. I think I did not really take note of the type of emulsion when I bought it. It was only after I bought and came back then I realized that actually there are emulsions for different skin types. this emulsion is pretty thick and has a very light fragrance. I can last pretty long during the day. It does work pretty good I guess. After applying, if you touch it after a few hours, you can still feel that your face is moisturized well. if you don't perspire a lot, it will stay.

I'll keep the recommendation as blank for now since it is my first product to be mentioned here. I don't think it is recommended at this point of time. I will talk about the facial wash some time later this week. I've never used the same facial wash for the past years...

As for now, have a good week ahead! Hope the Monday blue is over already for you!
Have a good night! don't stay up late. if you do so, please do moisturize your skin often and drink lots of water... if you can, wash your face once in a while to keep yourself refreshed and water your skin.
when you are ready for bed, wash it again to make sure that the radiation by your computer screen or tv screen does not stay with you when you are asleep. apply some lotion before bed. I think it helps. I feel that it works for me. ^^

Hi there,

my friends' comments got me intrigued about setting up this blog. However, I really do not want to offend anyone in anyway. I'm not here to showing off myself. In fact, I don't think I have anything to display.
This blog is really about making myself as a tester for some of the methods, practice or products. At the end of the day, I hope you will find something useful and helpful in the process. I got asked by lots of people, strangers, acquaintances, friends, family members.
I want to remain known as Skinman because this is only out of my personal interests. I'm still studying as a full time university student. I've got no commercial interests here and I do not represent nor endorse any brand or any product.

Thanks for your understanding and hope you can take away something if you have stopped for a few moments.

Learn something new everyday!

Hello, Skin!

Hello, skin!

One of the most often appeared praise to me is that "wow... you have such good skin/complexion."
Being a man and having compliment about his skin (of face) and complexion, it can be embarrassing sometimes at the very beginning. I'm very fair! I've not had pimples (guess I will need to define what pimples means to me later in my diary.) As for now, I just want to say hi to everyone and also want to say "thank you" to a Korean acquaintance I have. We went for dinner last night. When we were waiting for the train (subway, MRT, MTR, metro etc.), he suddenly said to me "wow, your skin is so good. why?"
To be honest, it was the first male who complimented about my skin so boldly straight into my face.

I really don't know. My typical answer to girls is that I've gotta thank my parents for such fair complexion and good skin. I believe in genes, so I guess it is the genes of mine that make the magic. Nevertheless, from today onwards, I want to write in this diary to start discovering, besides the genes, what else can help a man to maintain their skin and keep them in good condition!

I'm really new in this! i'll do by trial and error to my own skin. I don't know whether this will work for other people. I'll share with you what I have done, what I use on a daily basis and I will try different products to see what works on my and what does not etc.

To be honest, I don't even know my skin type. I'm not sure if that really matters, I've tried products (mainly facial foam) for different skin types. I don't remember much how my skin reacted for all the past products I've tried. However, I do remember some of them and they worked really well for me. Interestingly, I don't go for a particular brand as I've not figured out what's indeed good for me. It definitely takes time to find out about all these things. I hope that with this diary, I can find what really fits me. If you happen to read till here and you find it would be interesting, I hope you will also find the right products for your skin, too.

In fact, i just cleansed my faced and applied some emulsion, feeling good now! I also drank some water before typing this post. Will go to bed shortly, as I have an very important presentation later.

hope you will stay with me.
yes... I'm Chinese.
