good find!
recently, my good friend (from SHP) told me that she uses iodine to heal her pimples. i was like "WHAT??!!" we all know that iodine is used on cuts and whats not and it leaves behind a ugly purple stain despite washing it off with soap. to use it on my face is a no-no, despite her assuring me that it washes of easily with soap. i do not want to leave my house with purple spots all over my face!
i kept on using my tea tree oil but it was drying out my skin along with my pimples and making my skin, pimples and makeup peel horribly. then i suddenly got a very good ideal!
antiseptic kills bacteria
dettol kills bacteria
i dug out a tube of dettol antiseptic cream (moisturising formula) from the drawer that my family keeps the first-aid supplies and dabbed some of the cream on the pimples on my chin. oh, at that time, i didn't dare to try it on my face yet.
the next day, i found that my pimples became smaller!! without the peeling part~!! woohoo~ i finally tried it on my face 2 days ago and it worked too~! and no peeling~~!!!!
and the best part of it is that it only cost $2.50 for 30g!! ^-^
just a reminder that dettol stings. so i suppose that unless you have a high threshold for pain, don't apply it on open wounds, in this case, pimples.
and also, don't try it on your face first! experiment it on somewhere (or someone else) first and see that there are no side-effects or itching or pain or etc...
