Still cleansing your face by hand? It may not be as clean as you think it is. This was what people told me before last time and it is true. I always thought, we can just be natural. Just water and hand can already. Like my video below.

For 30yrs I've been only using water & my hands to wash my face.Like a damn sociopath! Now I learn to love myself more #good4you #beautytips #lumispa

But like a sociopath, it doesn't do justice to our skin health in the long run. Because I had shingles in 2018, it left a mark in my life that I knew I had to start taking care of my health, taking care of my skin, taking care of my body. Because I still want to be alive, young and healthy until my kids grow up, get married and succeed in life. I don't want to be a burden for them or leave them hanging unto life halfway, that is selfish. If I can choose, I would love to gift them a life that I never had, a much better one for sure.

Although many may say that the best way to wash our face is using our hands because it is gentler than many devices or cloth out there. However, this was before technology and science evolved. And in today's digital era, with such advanced technologies we have in hand, definitely we want to leverage on it to have the best for ourself. Which comes to why I am inspired to write this because, I was once a washing face with hands user. I don't even believe in cleansers for that matter.

Just a quick flashback of when I had shingles in 2018 {You can read here} and I had an unhealthy weight loss of 10kg and also the shingles breakout all over my body, front and back, my face and my scalp as well. The pain was excruciating but bearable, I basically attracted it anyways, I was asking for bedrest but I wasn't specific so I gotten my big bedrest for a month long because of shingles. But many people told me that the shingles scar was hard to go away, I didn't want to accept that at first. But when I saw how bad it was on my body and face, I thought alright, let's start learning makeup and maybe some skin lotion and stuff. 

At first, I tried to do explore into the beauty niche and explore skincare from various brands to see which can help me the most. But after trying various brands with various ingredients on my face, I had different reactions and breakouts and caused my skin to be sensitive. And the pores on my face didn't shrink. So finally I knew, enough is enough, I was determined to buy my own beauty product instead and my first and only choice was Lumispa then. So after 3 of my friends shared with me, 2 left a good impression for me and while I was waiting for 1 of them to come back to me, the other 1 came first and I decided to get it from her and wait no more. I was damn skeptic then, I wanted to buy but not join. Because I failed at 5 other MLM before, ended up spending rather than earning or even making a difference in others or my life.

But I am glad I made the right choice because of the right team, it plays a huge role of a difference and I am glad I am partnered in this team and glad I am in this company that I now call my family. Because of me I can be a blessing in others life, I can empower others to improve lives through rewarding business opportunities, innovative products and in an enriching and uplifting culture, I stayed because of the culture. This in itself is a blessing! And as a bonus, I only invested in 1 beauty device that is my BFF now, for 3yrs already this device has given me to many benefits time and time again it never failed me! The above transformation is just 18 days and I didn't even use daily, I only use to remove make up, and the frequency is like super low because I was a housewife, so how often do I wear makeup? Maybe less than 8 times or lesser? But when I took my before and after photo, I was amazed at how my overall complexion improved! And I don't use any other skincare products cos of my pure laziness. Back then, I don't even know why we need to tone, put serum, moisturize or even put sunblock and all that stuff for? But thanks to the company, now I know better! I like to be well informed before making big purchases and I made the right and best-est choice this time!

 Today I want to talk about something serious here. I'm sure many of you are aware or maybe many of you are unaware that Obesity is the main cause of many health compications! And in South East Asia, Malaysia it the Number 1 with the highest amount of people that is Obese!

No am not talking about how you look or what size you wear. Even skinny people can be obese. So here is why and what is obesity and why the KG on your weighing scale and your BMI does not do justice to your actual healthy weight anymore!

See this photo above? All of these beautiful ladies weight 70kg and each with different BMI, but everyone carries their weight differently. Because of the amount of fat versus muscle that is contained inside your body. As you can see above, these 6 beautiful ladies weighs the same but at different height, age and BMI levels. In fact, different body shape too. Like the 2nd lady for example, her BMI is in normal zone but she is only in her 20s and you can see she has a bulging tummy. So normal BMI doesn't mean you will be skinny and slim fit. It is what's going on inside your body composition. In the next few details below, I will share more why your body composition is important.

These 2 are the main reason why you should throw your conventional weighing scales! If you think weighing 45kg or 50kg means you are skinny, think again. Imagine a glass of wine, a beautiful shaped glass of wine, looks beautiful on the outside right? But inside is 90% fat instead of the good muscles; And when this happens usually this beautiful glass of wine suffers from many unknown health issues even being skinny! We call these people skinny obese. That's why it is important to have a balance of everything in life, every single thing, including your meals!

And the above image explains the many risks we all face based on your body fat percentage %, NOT your body kg! So my friends, it ain't about the size or the kilograms, but what's inside is most important! And mind you, not everyone has the health or stamina to diligently hit the gym or hit the road to exercise! Some are born without a choice! Like me for example, I have thalassemia that causes me mild anemia when I overwork myself. Hence I can't even climb the stairs without feeling worn out or lethargic easily or lose my breath! That explains why I hate sports and climbing stairs my entire life! My stamina burns out easily because I don't have enough blood to begin with due to my genes. Thankfully I do not have such issue anymore. Now is only a matter of discipline and good habits!

So if you think that your weighing scale is being honest to you, think again! That's why after attending courses and training to truly understand this. I knew that there is a better way, a more humane way, without all the nonsense trending fad diets to so-called put your body on some kinda mode to burn fats. I have had friends who does that but then they will gain their weight and rebound double than before, then they will repeat this vicious cycle again! It is like asking for disaster to happen. This is where your health cries for help sooner than later. Because when I put them on the Omron Karada Health Scan and measure their true body composition. Their kg is low alright, but their body fat is still high at high risk and VFA = Visceral fat, the fats surrounding the organs, still at high risk! So if it is suppose to burn fat, how come your body fat % is still high, how come the layers around your organs increased or stagnant and how come when you stop and go back to normal eating, you rebound? AND how come you still have health issues?

My doctor told me before, they moment we lose weight, healthily, our body will reset itself and learn to repair itself. Unfortunately, those I know who goes on those trending diet methods that you can google up online, end up with sudden outbreak of allergy reactions, skin inflammations, health conditions that is just so rare and unexplained. Basically your body system jammed up, gone heywired. It is not according to nature. It does not know how to function and is in a state of shock at what this owner is going to do next with the body. If you really love yourself, don't put yourself through anymore sufferings. Whenever you go in and out on a trending diet fad that is not your lifestyle and it is only temporary, your body goes into a state of shock and starts to secretly create a fat storage instead.

The scary thing about this fat storage is that, it will only get worst if not targeted! And there is no diet out there that targets this. In fact, some say low carb and high fat (especially pork fat) can use fat to burn fat. But doctors already said it will cause higher risk to heart attack, you can't use fat to burn fatty acids and plaques in your blood stream, you will only add more blockages into your blood stream because fat in our body will release fatty acid into the blood stream. So it is not even a solution to go on that diet just to look good, it was created only for those with Epilepsy, so if you're normal then please act normal, you don't have epilepsy right? And my friends who went on this, took their body composition before and after but their body fats increased, sleep apnea gotten worst to the point they had to get the machine to breathe when they sleep and they 3 highs never got better, they lost little weight but they also lose their health one at a time. That is bad. But they are also currently now in recovery mode after many rounds of explaining how I can help them in 90days.

You think the above image is cute? Well, that's the cause of having extra fat into your body to kinda burn fat but your cells actually is starting to inhibit more fat cells than the others. So when this happens, it is like the image below, both figure looks slim but inside more fat than muscle. Means more health problem than the other. And don't misunderstand me, those who goes for workout at the gym may seem healthy but the also reach a bottleneck when their results stagnant. Your body can only go so far, don't overpush it as you may break something. That's why even those going to gyms needs this extra boost to support them. We even have Personal Trainers who embarks the 90days and gotten the result that they could not even achieve if they pushed hard at the gym. It's a fact, not for marketing sake - no time to bullshit to you. You want true story, we've got them!
