The quest for flawless complexion

I wanted to write this article yesterday, but I didn't have time to do it. So, while waiting for the beef to defrost in the kitchen sink, I'm taking what little time I have to write this article. And by the way, I cooked nasi lemak earlier today. Hubby came back from India early this morning and asked for home cook nasi lemak for breakfast. Isteri mithali...

Back to my topic. When I look at other women's faces, I noticed how flawless their skin are. I look at them with envy. As far as I can remember, I never once had flawless complexion after I reached puberty. I blame it on the gene. None of my family members have flawless skin.

Of late, my skin has become worst. I have pigmentation on my cheeks and forehead - the worst of its kind. It started when I was 3 months pregger with Sophie. It become more obvious after my trip to Redang Island in March last year. The sunburn made the pigmentation worst (despite a thick layer of sun block that I applied on my face). At the beginning, I thought that after the pregnancy, it'll fade away like other dark lines we normally have on our body during pregnancy. But months later, it seems to stay.

So, I needed to take some drastic action. Being a Clinique fan for ages, I tried their brightening range. It's been months and still no improvement. So, I decided to change my skincare range. This time I wanted to try something local. I went for AG2000, a product by Healwell Pharmaceutical, the people who brought us Gamogen - a gamat-based product. Don't be deceived by the word local, though they are local, their products are not exactly cheap. For a set of 3 products - cleanser, day cream and night cream, it cost me RM398. Not bad hah!

I've been using it for almost a week now and walla...I could already see some result. The pigmentation seems to be fading away, unbelievable but true.

By the way, when I was in confinement after delivering Sophie via c-section. I consumed Gamogen. I can't help but to feel that it helped me heal faster. I took it with combination of pati haruan (forgot the brand though). After 2 weeks of surgery I could already cook, clean, wash clothes, iron, etc. while taking care of my baby and 3 other kids on my own. I wrote an article earlier on my experience during confinement - no maid, no help.

So my friends, if you have a problem like me, you may want to try this product. I'd like to recommend it. I'll keep you updated on the progress of my complexion from time to time.
