It’s a real honour when your male photographer compliments you on your flawless skin. Although it’s mainly because he knows he’ll have a lot less work to do during the post-processing, it’s nevertheless awesome when someone notices how clear your skin is!
Having clear skin also saves me a lot of time when it comes to make up. On days when I feel lazy, a light dusting of foundation, some blusher topped off with mascara and eyeliner is all I need to face the world. In fact, I used to go to work with just sunblock and mascara!
Of course, I didnt always have the most perfect skin. Although I cant say I had bad acne, I do have some acne scars from before. It happens to even the best of us. We go through a stage of our lives where hormones wage war with our pores. Our skin gets oily, clogged, dull and pimples endlessly erupt in the most unwanted places. At those moments, it would seem as though your skin could rival the worn down roads with potholes on them. Oh you know it, we’ve all been through it (some of us might even still be going through it). This battle is what we call puberty.
Some lucky ones win the battle. I consider myself to be one of them. But when things get difficult, we turn to the skin experts. Skin doctors more often than not will recommend AHA, also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, to help treat oily & acne-prone skin. One particular brand respected in the field of dermatological skincare is Therapeutic Dermatologic Formula (TDF). Recommended by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medical practitioners, hospitals and retail pharmacists, Therapeutic Dermatologic Formula (TDF) is a pioneer in AHA glycolic acid formulations! No wonder it’s found in most of our local hospitals like Tan Tock Seng, Singapore General Hospital and Changi General Hospital.
How AHA glycolic acid controls recurring acne breakouts is primarily by exfoliating and removing dead surface cells. But it goes deeper than that. It also helps to encourage the production of new collagen in the deeper layers of the skin! Out with the old and in with the new! New baby soft skin that is.
I’ve mentioned before in a post that scrubbing should be part of your basic skin care because it helps to remove surface dead skin. How AHA is significantly different from a regular mechanical scrub is the fact at higher concentrations, glycolic acid is the ingredient used by doctors to produce a chemical peel. AHA glycolic acid penetrates the layers of skin and removes blisters (upper few layers of the skin) to irritate the dermis, ordering it to produce new collagen. And more collagen means firmer and younger looking skin! Hooray for turning back the hands of time with your own TDF home chemical peel system!
I gave the set to my brother for a test run because he has oilier skin than I do. Also, he used to have quite bad acne and I think he’d be the best person to test the effectiveness of glycolic acid in regulating sebum production and controlling recurring acne breakouts. On top of that, he swims quite regularly and gets exposed to the sun quite a fair bit.
You know how boys are when it comes to skin care. They simply, just. Dont. Care. But my brother has been diligent and the results have shown even merely after a few uses. Within a week, his skin is less shiny and he mentions how he likes the feeling of the Mild Astringent because it’s cooling and highly refreshing. The star product, however, has to be the AHA Oily & Acne Solution 8 though, because with 8% AHA glycolic acid, this solution is the one to give you your own daily chemical peel at home. His skin looks comparatively more radiant than it was just a week ago. I cant wait to see the full results of his skin transformation in 4 weeks!
So my brother got the fuller Therapeutic Dermatologic Formula set (because I’m a good sister that way) with 4 steps to the skincare regime, but if you dont already have a basic skin care routine or are looking for one to help combat specific skin care woes, here’s a hot deal you shouldn’t miss!
Normally SGD$79, now you only pay SGD$49 for the Therapeutic Dermatologic Formula Oily & Acne Starter Kit. It’s the perfect set if you’re looking for a cleanser, toner and moisturiser to control your skin’s oil production. The Ultra Light Hydrator gets extra points for being sheer and lightweight because you never get a sticky feeling after application. Plus, given my recent escapades, I approve of the fact that the kit comes in a handy pouch. Great for carting around if you travel or need to carry it out to your workouts.
Now now, dont get jealous if you’ve already got a skin care routine working for you. If you’re looking to up your basic skin care regime to a more advanced one (I swear my skin care routine is a 5 or 6 step one), the C-Scape Serum Bundle Pack is what you need to look at. With high doses of antioxidant Vitamin C in this pack, you’ll be looking at a firmer, brighter and wrinkle-free complexion in no time. A free 30ml bottle comes with purchase of 50ml, so you get 80ml worth of product at SGD$126. You know you’re getting real good stuff, because this TDF product is so fresh, you’ll have to keep it refrigerated.
Before you take the plunge to revolutionize your skin, I believe you should always try it to believe it. I normally prefer a starter kit like the Oily & Acne Starter Kit because it takes at least 2 weeks to see results and it’s important to have the complete regime. But you can always just try out the wash and TDF is giving YOU a free AHA Sample Wash!
