Knowing the causes of acne according to their location

Hello everyone!

I was (like usual) browsing through Japan beauty sites and i came across this article that really interests me.

ニキビができる場所でわかる、原因と対策

 

Knowing the reason and treatment method for your acne just by the location of it.

 

1. Excessive body heat
2. Hormonal imbalance
3. Internal organ disorder
4. Stress
5. Diet
6. External causes

出典ただのニキビじゃない!? アダルトニキビからわかる内臓不良の箇所と生活改善のポイント : ライフハッカー［日本版］

It kinda sounds like everything will cause acne right

hahaha

but worry not, we can narrow the causes down by looking at the places they appear at...!

 Forehead
おでこ

・Shampoo and conditioner from your hair is not washed away thoroughly.
・Inflammation caused by the dirt/bacteria on your fringe.
・Digestive problems

→When the acnes appear, change your hairstyle so that there's no hair around the face.
→ Change your diet habits, don't binge.

Nose

鼻

・Touching your nose too frequently (dirt/bacteria transferred onto the nose)
・Foundation/UV rays causing imbalances in the skin turnovers which results in clogged pores
・ Problems with liver, intestines and lungs

→ When there's acne, put light makeup. Reduce intake of nuts, oily and sweet food.

Cheeks

ほお

Influenced by male hormones. that's why the most common place for men to have ance is the cheek.

【Causes for ladies】
・ Digestive problems
・ Constipation or liver problems
・ Too much sugary and oily food 

Around the mouth

口まわり

・ Indigestion problem
・ Vitamin Indeficiency
・ Overeating

→ Eat nutritional and balanced meals. Have enough sleep

Chin

あご

・Pre menstrual
・ Makeup not thoroughly removed.
・Insufficient sleep
・Stress
・Body Chills

→Enjoy a relaxing hot bath =D

出典【エンタメCOBS】ニキビができる場所によってわかることがある！？(マイナビニュース) - エキサ

And do you know that...

White acne → Digestive system, lungs and energy level

people who have alot of white acnes, tend to have low energy level.

Waste material tend to remain inside the body thereby resulting in white acnes.

On the other hand, Purple acne ( swelling acnes. when touched, you can see that it's deep inside) → problem with the uterus, disrupted menstrual cycle, stiffed shoulders and headache etc

[Sponsored ad] Adore Sanitary pad - Comfort All Days

Hello everyone!!

Today I'll be introducing another new product!

This product just makes me wanna shout...

" WHY ISN'T THIS PRODUCED EARLIER?!?"

I'll elaborate on that later.

=========================

but first, a short introduction of ADORE for those who didn't know about this brand!

ADORE takes on a revolutionary approach making their sanitary pads both ultra slim and hygienic. 

ADORE’s feminine hygiene products are fast becoming popular. 

The anti-bacterial functions have been laboratory tested and proven to be extremely effective in suppressing bacterial growth caused by prolonged wearing of sanitary napkins and pantyliners. 

Their super high absorbency properties ensure you can forget about embarrassing moments caused by side leaks and backflow. In addition, you can be assured that ADORE products are not bleached as no recycled cotton is used which greatly reduces the risk of skin reactions due to sensitivity.

ADORE is also recommended by gynaecologist as a consumer-safe sanitary pad that prevents vaginal infection!

 

And... ADORE is the Winner Of Best Selling Premium Sanitary Napkins

=============================

Sounds great right?

They have many products that cater to your "monthly" needs;

ADORE Daily Freshness

ADORE Active Days

ADORE Dreamy Nights

More information on http://takaraholdings.com/adore-home

but what i love best from their product range is....

ADORE's Comfort All Days

*inserts " WHY ISN'T THIS PRODUCED EARLIER??" scream *

I've never seen a product like Comfort All Days in the market yet..

ADORE だいすき - COMFORT ALL DAYS is a Combo Pack of 13s which was developed as an All-in-One pack which is convenient for tourists, airline flight crew, holiday makers and those who like the convenience of just purchasing a pack of sanitary napkins which can last them throughout their period.


ADORE だいすき - COMFORT ALL DAYS consists of 6pcs (24cm) Day pad, 3pcs (28cm) Night pad & 4pcs (19cm) Lite Flow Day pad which is suitable for "pre" and "post" period use; all conveniently packed into a single pack!

Before this, I normally buy different packets , separate them and pack them together into one fluffy bag. 

It's much costlier and messier that way!!

And during the most unfortunate event when "it" came unexpectedly, I'll just buy the night wear sanitary pad overseas cause I don't want to waste my luggage space putting 2-3 packets of different sizes. But.... Normally, the night wear is so fat and uncomfortable to wear throughout the day!

Especially when I'm wearing tight jeans!!

So you can imagine how much i wanted to thank ADORE when they introduced this to me the first time!

One packet and you'll be assured for the whole trip!

They've got night wear, day wear and for pre and post periods!

Not only that, they have special packaging that allows you to keep your pads clean and neat!

You won't want your pads to be exposed to dirt and moisture!

Stick the cover back everytime you use them!

then the unused pads will remain clean!

If you're travelling, i would definitely recommend this pack for you!




And if you're wondering, their sanitary pads are really absorbent and comfortable!
I love it!

Feeling fresh, comfortable all day!!

[Review] Casio ZR1200 , my new digital camera

*Disclaimer : This is not a paid/sponsored review. I bought this for personal use*

Recently I went to the IT Show at Marina Bay Sands expo and got myself a new digital camera.

I've got a DSLR and TR150 (lost its charger) but I'm looking for a handy and good quality camera!

Also an idiot proof one cause i'm not exactly very techy.

So i caught my eyes on CASIO ZR1200..

first of all, it's pink.

secondly, it's casio.

I have only raves and raves about Casio Tr150 so i know buying a casio exilim camera will definitely suit my needs!

thirdly, it has a flip screen!


which can act as a tripod stand too.

fourthly,  it has makeup mode~

If you read my blog post about tr150, you would know how awesome this function is!

(read review here : http://www.kellykonomi.com/2012/05/introducing-casio-tr150-cute-camera-for.html )

so that's my reasons for buying CASIO ZR1200..

and i'm glad i bought it~~

because there's more reasons to justify that i've made a good purchase after playing with it!!

It's easy to use and so versatile!
The photo quality is awesome as well!!

They have two shooting modes that i especially love.

The [ART] ART SHOT mode and the [BS] BEST SHOT MODE..

Best of all, it's really easy and quick to change from mode to mode!

 You can prep your camera into your preferred mode in seconds!!
Absolutely love it!
Perfect for indecisive "photographer" like me!
hehehe


========================================

Let's look at their [BS]  BEST SHOT mode!
There are sooo many modes, i'm pretty sure that you can get a perfect shot for your photos with all these preset scene settings!

Brightening, HS Night Sceen, HS Night Scene and portrait, HS Night shot, HDR, HS Anti Shake, Blurred Background, All-in-focus Macro, AF-CS, High Speed CS, HS Best selection, Slide Panorama, Wide shot, Snapshot, Scenery, Portrait with Scenery, Children, Sports, Candlelight Portrait, Party, Pet, Flower, Natural Green, Autumn Leaves, Soft Flowing Water, Splashing Water, Sunset, Fireworks, Food, Text, Collection, Auction, RAW image, Prerecord, For Youtube, HDMI TV Output


There's so many scene modes!
To be honest, I haven't use all the scene modes yet but my favourite is BLURRED BACKGROUND!

LOVE IT!

It blurs out the background!
hahaha. No need to stress out my amateur photography skills with the 50mm/F1.8 or 35mm/F1.8 etc!
Just use CASIO ZR1200 to create blurred background MUAHAHAHA

It focuses on the objects nearer to it and blurs out the background automatically.




======================================



 And their ART MODE is just as awesome!
hahaha

HDR POP, TOY, SOFT FOCUS, LIGHT TONE, POP, SEPIA, MONOCHROME, MINIATURE, FISHEYE, SPARKLING

hehe
and my favourite mode is...

SOFT FOCUS!!

Here's some of my selfies with soft focus!
*COUGH* *excuse to post tons of selfies*

Looks more dreamy than normal photos right!
hehehe
and they are all unedited!

Another mode in ART they've got is SPARKLING mode which is soft focus combined with a cross filter produces photos with fantastical visual effects.

Super cute, can't wait to use this mode to shoot some of my clay handicrafts!

hehehe

=======================================

Well, i guess most girls who bought Casio Exilim camera for their beauty shoot AKA makeup mode!

So i'm going to review that as well!

As mentioned above, ZR1200 enables speedy setting changes!

Press SET and you will open up this convenient side bar which allows you to do instant changes to the shoot settings

which includes the makeup level settings..

from level 1 to 12!


I normally put the setting at level 5 so that i would have nice skin that doesn't look too fake/edited!


Examples :
*AHEM another excuse to post selfies hahaha*

 Oops, looks like i'm pointing middle finger hahaha


Of course, you can adjust to level 8-9 or even level 12 to achieve the flawless looking skin!


===========================

In addition, despite its petite size, the photo quality is awesome!
Casio ZR1200 has got approximately 16.1 megapixels(/million) 


Look at how clear my super zoomed in photo is!

Every strand of lashes, even my super fine natural lashes!



==========================

Like most casio cameras, Zr1200 has got the Motion Shutter function is which great for OOTD photos!



Wave and the shutter will be activated!
 

especially convenient if your bf is preoccupied with playing games!
hahaha


===================

Lastly, it is compatible with WIFI memory card!

I used the EZ SH@RE which is given as a free gift during the promotion!





Sharing photos on social media straight from the camera~
hehehehe




LOVE IT LOVE IT!
heheh




======================

Well, after raving about all the features i love...

Here are some CONS you will need to know before deciding on buying it!

CONS:
- Gets heated up easily (but luckily, function not affected i think)
- Battery runs out within a day ( around 100 photos with WIFI sharing activated thoughout)
- Long shooting intervals during BLURRED BACKGROUND mode
 
nevertheless, i don't find these factors limiting!
Thus, I don't regretting purchasing it!
hehehe




Oh and i do find that TR150 is better for camwhoring because of the smaller size and better grip!
However, function wise ZR1200 is still better...

*AHEM*
but i'm honestly tempted by the latest TR15/TR350!!



which has most of the functions of ZR1200!
Also, they have some other functions that i would love to try!!

Like..


their new remote capture!!
haha can pretend to take those candid photos!
hahaha

and they have got two types of make up mode!

brightening mode and natural mode!

AND....


Aquamarine and Pink!
Both my favourite colours!!

SOOOOOOOOO pretty!


But TR15/TR350 is more expensive than ZR1200!
TR15 is priced above $1k while i bought my ZR1200 at $449 during IT show!


Sorry i digress a little!
but... in conclusion...

 If you want a multi function and affordable camera, i'll definitely recommend ZR1200!
