When the season is up for younger looking skin, one should not compromise. A lot of things contribute to aging and some of them are not even known to most of us.
Last week, I am so glad to receive a few compliments that I accepted it with all my heart! One of my second grade kiddies (I'm a tutor by the way) Chris, said "Teacher, bakit amputi mo ngayon?" I was like, "Chiz, really?" He said, "Yes.". I laughed and went on to work.
The next day, another student, Jefferson, asked me "Teacher, how old are you? My brother has turned 20, how about you?" I said, "Hulaan mo..." He said without hesitation, "You look sixteen so are you only sixteen?". I laughed loudly and said, "Wrong guess." he replied "Sixteen? Seventeen? Eighteen? Nineteen?" I just said, "Enough on my age. Start doing your assignment now, Babi."
The truth is that I am turning 21 next year February.
Maybe I look sixteen. I don't know. I think I look my age though.
Here's a recent picture I took last night.
What I have on: Moisturizer+Lip Balm and Petroleum Jelly, hence the dewy look.
A few problem areas like whiteheads/blackheads on my nose and some puffy eyebag action going on. Thanks to ACV, GSE and PH338 for the glow and for the hint of natural flush on my cheeks.
Afterwhich, I applied concealer and white cornstarch powder to create this look:
Not much of a difference but this look is slightly matte. Slight imperfections are covered. The mineral concealer from Ellana (awake shade) worked well, the white cornstarch powder gave a smooth finish without making my face so made up.
Well I guess I have just practiced a healthy lifestyle, but I also have bad ways like sleeping late, binging but that's about it. I don't smoke, I sometimes drink but it happens rarely now. I don't go out in the sun without SPF and my umbrella and my shades, and I don't make ugly faces during photos.
Did you know that wrinkles are produced when you do ugly facial expressions too often. Even drinking on straw at all times give you lines around the mouth. I've been doing the 'therapist face' for like months and it has helped me a lot to preserve facial skin youthfulness. What is a 'therapist face' by the way? I read it in some thriller novel called The Delilah Complex. The sex therapist there never lets a single facial expression show when she has a consultation with clients. she does it all the time. It gave me the idea to do the same; so even when I am amazed, stressed, shocked-I don't let other people know it. I just give a real relaxed and calm face. Haha. Funny and vain me, I know. At least, I don't get ugly lines and people around me wouldn't know what's going through my mind.
Well laugh lines are just okay. I consider them healthy facial lines. Especially when you've got funny friends, you really can't help but laugh. I laugh almost everyday last semester, because of my friends, special mention to my super friend Jantzen, who makes me laugh really hard with her jokes.
Nevertheless I laugh in a daily basis!!!!
Problems come and go, but don't fret. Smile! Frown no more. Do what you can to solve it. Don't let stress take a toll on your life. Get up and get going!
Age is just a number and a manner of traveling you know.

hi! you really look younger than your age sis. anyway, age is just about numbers. Ü
btw, what is that "cornstarch" powder that you used?
CZEL
sugar&spice of GT
Hi sis. Just use any pure cornstarch brand you prefer. The one used in the kitchen, the one for cooking. It could be a bit rough but you can sift it first before applying over moisturized face. It works. Creates healthy and beautifully matte face sans harsh chemicals.
Will try to look for you in GT. Thanks!
