Skin Conditions Challenge - Task 1

Before I start this post, I must DECLARE that NONE of my hubby's photos had gone through editing to try to make his skin conditions look better.
These photos are as RAW as they can be.
Did not use professional camera.
 Only my Samsung Note 2 phone camera.
Unless you consider THAT as a professional camera too. *slap forehead*

By the way, if you know me long enough.
You know I would not do things that will tarnish my reputation.

Being the straightforward me, 
if something works, I will say it works,
if something does not, I will say it did not work on me.

No point cheating and lying.
Do not see any good in doing such things.

Alright, enough of all that.
Get down to the main purpose for today's post.

Hubby thinks its fun to have half of his face looking nicer than the other half. *laugh*
So you can always treat us to a cup of coffee, *laugh* and check him out in person, if you are those who need to SEE the real thing, TO BELIEVE that it is true.

This year, I am determined to improve my hubby's skin. 
As he will be turning 40 soon, his skin condition reflects the signs of aging significantly.
Not that I am against aging, but if there is a way to let one age "nicely" WITHOUT harming one's health, why not, right?

Having wrinkles, dark spots are not in the "nice" group definitely.
So I took up a Skin Conditions Challenge which I set for myself to try to improve hubby's skin.

Knowing that he, like most men, is lazy when it comes to skin care, I had to think of a way that is SO EASY, he will STICK TO IT!

Once in the morning.
Once at night.

With his cooperation, results started to show in a week!
But I was not convinced.
You know, I am that type of people who will try almost anything and choose to trust whatever that was said is true, when it concerns improving skin conditions.

So I will buy and I will try.
Without trying, how would one know if it works, isn't?!

I do not like to prejudge.
I do not like to make a conclusion WITHOUT trying it.

However, hubby's signs of aging is more significant than mine, so I chose to try on him first.
*laugh*

As usual, hubby was supportive.
Oh well, what has he got to lose anyway?
If it works, he has better looking skin.
If it does not, just stop.
No big deal.

Like I had said earlier, results started to show after 1 week.
However, I was still not convinced.
I gave myself a 1-month challenge.
So had been keeping quiet about this until yesterday, officially 1 month after the date he first applied..

The following photos were taken yesterday. I started working on the LEFT side of my hubby's face on 28th March 2014:


Can you tell the difference in the DEPTH of his wrinkles?
Cannot???
Let me CIRCLE them for you..........



To me, the MOST obvious part was the deep lines on his forehead.
Hubby is probably one of the cheekiest man I had met thus far.
With him making all sorts of naughty facial expressions at me every now and then, its understandable why he has such deep lines when he has not reach his 40s yet.
*giggle*






Alright, enough of his side views.
Here's the front :

The difference between the lines on the right and left of the forehead become more obvious after I included the line in the center.


As I looked at the above photos, one thing struck me.
HIS DARK EYE RINGS!!!!

Skin Conditions Challenge - Task 1 - Wrinkles.
Done!

Next, Dark Eye Rings!
Let's see if my next challenge will work on his panda eyes....
Hhhmmm.....
*fingers crossed*

=======

Actually, this has been going on in the Market for years already.

My friend used it on her droppy-wrinkled belly after child-birth.
It firmed up her belly.
Stretched marks were lightened significantly too.

Another friend's friend used it on his dark-protruding scar and it lightened it up!

I have photos of those, but because of Singapore's rules, I cannot post on my blog or any of my social media accounts because I am not the owner of the photo.
Well, I guess that is fair.
But if you are curious, can always let me know and I can show you the photos privately.

======

Giving myself 1 month again to make his panda eyes lighter....
*Game Face On*

Song Sharing Sunday #272 - 落幕的心情-邓妙华

I could not help but had tears welled up when Bryan Wong sang this song at the Star Awards 2014.... the journey to get to where he is now had really been a very rough one.....and to see him on the stage, 'graduating', I am truly happy for him, that the hardships are all but memories now.

Congrats!

Song Sharing Sunday #271 - He Is Risen

Today, my family went to visit my parents.
In front of their tomb/grave, it reminded me again that at the end of it all, no matter how we live our life, we will still come to the same end point....

With end point in mind, I thank my Creator....
