Hormonal Imbalance

Remember I said that this postgrad life is a struggle? Well, one of the struggle I have to face is lots of pimple!

I think that I am quite lucky that I don't really have puberty pimples. So, since high school up until now, I can count my experience dealing with real pimples. Normally, there will be few tiny bumps that pop out for about 2-3 days and will disappear without I noticed (and I rarely give extra attention). The real pimple will come out basically during raya or any crucial events. Have you been in the same situation as me too?

So, when I started doing research back in Oct, everything seems well. At the early stage I can marathon 1 season of Grey's Anatomy for only 1-2 days so you can imagine how relaxed I am. Compared to my other coursework and mix mode's friend, I am the most relax person at that time. Go to school at 8, having lunch on time, googling papers, and packed my things at 5 sharp.

Tapi start Januari tu.. ada je anasir-anasir yang muncul kat muka. Kulit mengelupas la. Jerawat jelas yang amik masa lama nak hilang la. Januari tu aku rasa tu jerawat stress untuk wedding preparation wawa. Pastu pakai mekap. Bulan depannya tu pun sama. Mekap.

Mac tu ada duit lebih sikit so nak try invest on skincare. Before this dah ada rose gold water and moisturizer. Cleanser, toner, and sunscreen dah habis so nak try band baru. Pastu beli foundation sebab nak pergi function. Kemain aku beli. At last, Revlon tu pakai boleh kira dengan jari berapa kali aku pakai. Sunscreen Biore warna kuning oren tu buat muka aku jadi gatal. Toner Safi warna hijau tu ada alkohol lebih buat kulit aku mengelupas. Cleanser Aiken tu alhamdulillah ok tapi still, macam tak berapa nak membantu sangat kalau nak compare dengan Ponds.

Nak discover mana 1 produk yang tak kena dengan muka bukan sekejap. Ada sekali tu, aku rasa geram sangat dengan bumps sebab kerap sangat muncul so aku reset semua skincare steps 2 minggu lepas. Muka pun cuci pakai air paip je. Tekad dah ni. Pergi school, pergi kerja barefaced. Pastu baru try pakai satu-satu. Pakai ni, rasa gatal. Pakai ni, kulit rasa pedih. So tahu la produk mana yang tak kena tu. Sedih weh. Rasa bazir gila masa & duit. Dahlah sebelum beli tu pun dok baca review, ingredients, beauty blog & videos, etc. Sekali tak sesuai dengan muka.

Even 2 hari lepas, muncul jerawat satu antara hidung dengan upper lips. Selalunya aku punya pimples period akan keluar lepas menses, so bengang jugak la bila benda tu muncul tiba-tiba. Nasib ada tempat mengadu walaupun dia respon love seketul untuk mesej panjang berjela aku tu 😆 Ibu pulak dengar je time aku membebel during video call 😂 Elok yang tu reda, eh berganti pulak betul-betul bawah hidung. Aku syak ni jerawat stress ni.

Sekarang tengah kejar nak siapkan banyak benda. Research, questionnaire, proposal, conference, kerja part-time lagi. Tiket balik raya tak boleh nak beli lagi ni, selagi tak confirm bila boleh start cuti. Pening. Pening.

So, tu je la. Selamat berpuasa semua! Semoga aku kurang membebel dan improve manners sempena nak masuk ramadhan ke 9 ni.
