If the skin is not properly cared for, it may lead to skin blockages, subsequently triggering inflammation. In such situations, the accumulation of sebum, cellular residues, and dirt may clog pores, fostering bacterial growth and inflammatory reactions. This inflammation can manifest as redness, swelling, pain, and other discomfort. Therefore, taking appropriate skincare measures, including cleansing, moisturizing, and using suitable skincare products, is crucial for maintaining skin health. When confronted with skin blockage issues, seeking professional medical advice is wise to ensure the development of an appropriate treatment plan, preventing further inflammation and damage.#sgbeauty #sgfashion #sgshopping #sgcafe #sgfoodie #sghome

📍YIELD – 313@Somerset #04-12

This is the place to go if you're looking for trendy yet uncommon streetwear brands 🏃💨 If you're tired of looking like everyone else on the street, then you should definitely check out YIELD. I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to shop there, and wow, I've clearly been missing out 💀

Despite its location in the mall I usually visit when I'm in town, I had never stepped foot in this hidden gem before. But okay I finally did and I stumbled upon so many amazing pieces there. ESPECIALLY THESE CARGO SHORTS THAT I TRIED ON 🤩

I spoke to the boss, Shawn, and discovered that he sources pieces from local and overseas underground streetwear brands in limited quantities to maintain their uniqueness! The stocks and sizes are all limited, so you should definitely grab whatever catches your eye while you're there before it goes out of stock ❌

In terms of pricing, they are comparable to other branded streetwear out there (tops starting at around $30 and bottoms starting at around $40 if I remember correctly)! They may not be the cheapest option, but the limited availability will definitely make you stand out from the crowd 🤤

Had enough of my 🥩. Family members/friends has been telling me to lose weight because I gained so much during covid up to around 65-69kilo which sometimes cannot really see because I always wear baggy clothes to cover my fats😒! Even when I wore bikini previously, you can see how much fats accumulated which is abit awful🥹

I’ve been telling myself to lose weight, tried many products from all my previous brands and guess what, still the same…. So I started my journey with PCO, and now congratulations I’m finally a 48-52kg😀 can’t really imagine me losing all the unwanted fats🥲 at least I look presentable now hahahahahahaha

I’m putting y’all on what might be the best trench coat I’ve purchased so far, and only for $45SGD with shipping?! Insane. This PU leather trench coat is from Taobao and honestly, the quality surpassed my expectations!

LINK 🔗: Trench Coat

Here’s exactly why I LOVE this trench coat:

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞

I was so afraid the PU leather quality would be flimsy and shiny as with most cheap pleather pieces, but this piece was so well made. The PU leather feels thick, is lined with a quilt layer for extra warmth, and doesn’t have that ‘cheap shine’.

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐟𝐢𝐭

This piece is so versatile you can literally pair it with anything and you immediately look put together! I’ve worn it with maxi dresses, skirts, pants and it works well every. single. time. I’ve even seen fit pics of trench coats with lounge wear and it’s so cute 😮‍💨

𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐭

You can either wear it open for a more casual, oversized look, or cinch it in the waist for a more SNATCHED look! It’s super flattering both ways and doesn’t look excessively bulky especially considering i’m petite (the perfect oversized look!) For ref, i’m 158cm 🙂

𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

it’s made of PU leather which means it’s waterproof! You can also just wipe down with some antibacterial wipes after use and don’t need to spend $$$ dry cleaning it.

i have 0 regrets getting this coat and will be bringing it for all my cold country fits in the future 🤧 I’ll be doing a consolidated Seoul fits post soon with all my fit details so keep a look out for that 😉

Soooooo I have been a complacent idiot who never used her sunblock consistently enough/sustain a good skincare routine UNTIL i got defeated by the SUN during one of my school’s frisbee games…So here’s my journey of how I repaired my severe sunburn and also things I learned from it!! (+ products used)

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 & 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙☀️☀️☀️

To emphasise abit, we played under the SCORCHING sun 🌞🌞🌞 for like 4-5 hours… and girlie did not splatter on enough sunscreen as she wanted to scrimp on her last few bit of sunblock left & also cause she underestimated the scorching sun 😣😣 alas, the fair skinned me was BURNED so badly that not 1 but TWO layers of my skin peeled off afterwards… (refer to ‘before’ photos) The burn was so bad that my face was not just red but were in botches of dark red (extremely damaged) and my whole face just hurts so so so much. The redness lasted for about 4-5 days? with the peeling starting on the 3rd day.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙮 💊💊

Of course, the best way to save a sunburn is definitely ALOE VERA.🌿🌿 I am pretty sure that any brand of aloe works but this one that i got really SAVED my skin so so so much and I think it is really good as well! I love how after application my skin feels super moisturised and doesn’t feel v sticky. For 4 days I was literally obsessed with aloe vera, and put on a thick layer of it every 2-3 hours. The frequency and consistency definitely showed results as I could see my skin healing well and getting back its moisture.

Apart from that it is also very important to hydrate yourself by drinking LOTS of WATERRRRRR. 💧💧💧💧

The hardest part was the days when I had to go out but could not put on makeup as they will appear super duper flakey on my face. This is when my new-found holy grail came in (I scurried to watsons to buy it post-damage) — the Biore Light Up Essence. I bought it with the intention of getting a new sunscreen but I realised that this magical tube of cream has a super stonk brightening/whitening effect. I will elaborate more about how this product replaced my makeup in my next post!!

𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧-𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 ✍️✍️

This episode defintely taught me the importance of sunscreen & also hydration/moisture. Using the aloe vera to heal my skin I realised the greatness the moisture brings to my skin. Previously I have faced so much issues with my pores being big and ugly but I realised that the constant hydration (and of course double cleansing) really cleared up my skin so so well! My large pores are also much less visible now and I really felt like my skin was so much better than before… so here’s my current skincare routine to continue taking care of my skin!!

– double cleansing!! (i use oil & cleanser)

– serum after cleansing

– aloe vera mask every 2/3 days

– serum before makeup

– a good layer of sunscreen before makeup

– drink water!!!
