in the name of beauty

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And this is true, my mom and my fiancé say so that I am, hhehehe! I also believe that real beauty is within. But one can never be denied of their right to feel and be beautiful.

And so today, I practiced this right.

Maya and I visited her cousin (who's a dermatologist) and treated ourselves to a facial cleaning and peeling. Ouch! Pricking pimples and removing blackheads is not fun at all...this is the pain you need to endure in the name of beauty.

A few minutes after the medication sink in to the skin, I felt my face tighten and smooth and it really feels good. And my cheeks turned rosy too.

Now my face is all clean and fresh, it’s my duty to take care of it, and so my dermatologist gave me a new beauty regimen. Cetaphil for cleansing, sunblock before leaving for work (only spf 15 and above are recommended by dermatologist) and Tretinoin in the evenings. Now this is the part where I say, "The price you have to pay for beauty".
