Thanaka (Not advert. You might want this.) (Auto sent)



IMG_3596

This is from Myanmar!
It's really good for the skin.
You can go do some online research if you're still curious.
It's actually a cosmetic paste made from ground bark.
It helps to remove oil bumps, acne and gives you smooth skin.
Really good for people with oily skin too!

I have really oily skin.
This helps to tighten your pores and for  a few days I've been out with no make up on my skin (except for my eyes) and just sun block and I feel fine.
I used to not feel comfortable.

I even went to ask the Myanmar people.
I asked men!
Both men and women use this daily in Myanmar.

It also helps protect you from the sun but that's if you put it on when you're out.
I DON'T THINK YOU WILL WANNA WALK DOWN ORCHARD WITH YELLOW MARKINGS ON YOUR CHEEKS. HAHA.
Apparently, the burmese women do.

Cheval, my ex-boss (ice rockz) cousin got me one tub to try.
This is the lime scented one.
This is a natural skin care product.
Bio essence came up with Tanaka white.
Confirm got all the funny chemicals inside.
Why use something artificial when you got the real deal right.
And it's cheap.

You can now get it from Peninsular shopping centre.
I'm not sure if it's Peninsular shopping centre or plaza.
It's directly opposite St Andrew's cathedral at CityHall.

Just go ask around.
The shop name is called Super Royal Mart #04-50.
It's $2.80 for a tub.
There are quite a few myanmar marts there.
Some will charge you at 3$.

Take a small portion.
Ratio of water to thanaka is 1:2
Doesn't really matter so long as you get a creamy base.

Mix it till it becomes creamy and apply it on your skin.
By the way,
yes, your skin will feel abit stingy that is because it tightens your pores.
So don't worry about it but if your face starts to swell then call ambulance.
HAHAHHA
But that's unlikely to happen..
I have super sensitive skin.


I get rashes all the time but this is fine for me.
IT'S LIKE, "IF YAN CAN COOK, SO CAN YOU."

This is Cheval.
LOOK AT HIS SKIN.
He religiously apply thanaka on his face before he sleeps every night.
If it's not because of his gorgeous skin,
I wouldn't even dare try this!

So this post is not for girls only but guys too.
I hope you will like it cos I think it's goooooooooood..
Or you can get it for your mom. =8D
