A pharmacist who wish to give his 2 cents worth of opinion on beauty products that we see, we hear and we use everyday...

The beginning...

aging is inevitable... harsh but true.... the days when I thought I could get away without putting on anything to makes me look and feel good is GONE!

NOW...in my 30's.... it comes pretty natural that I should learn to take good care of myself. At least, in my line of work, I need to look presentable and decent enough to my customers. Very often, my advice is solicited about supplements and cosmetics and what they can do to your body.

Believe me... there are more man & woman who trust the instinct of the pharmacist more so than any beautiful Loreal Girls ...We deal with more than just drugs and medicines...

The few months earlier has been interesting as I had opened up my eyes in learning what is it behind a product, NOT THE BRAND! Is the product safe? Is it overhyped?

Are those "75% percentages of "wrinkle reduction" .... "30% smoother skin" for real? I mean... sorry....it just seemed to be good to be true. And yes, what is the difference between a Biotherm and a Tesco facial wash...? Do they have the same ingredients inside? Back in the uni days,we were told to be careful with the side effects, pharmacological actions, potential drug interactions for medicine. How about cosmetics or "cosmecueticals"...? Do we know anything about them before you slap on an ounce of cream to your face??

So, today , I am going to put down my thoughts down.. what I have read about and share with who ever that visited my humble blog...
