my acne journey.

[Guest babiluxx]

I dont have pimples on my face but I have acne problems on my back. I tried one product--to spray on it but it doesnt really work well. I dont know if im asking the right question in the right thread but does anyone know how to get reid of acne on my back? i mean its not like super bad but I would really like to wear things that show a little bit of my back without being insecure.

If you guys know anything that can help please please let me know!

Wow, I will definitely try this! Next time I go to Chinatown I'm purchasing those ingredients

My cheeks look similar to yours, not as much acne but very blemished!! I think I should also try neutrogena since most of their products work really well on my oily skin. I have their acne preventing body washes and they work wonders. I'm excited to try now! Thanks!

[Guest mackie17]

do you use a moisturizer after? I feel like my skin feels kinda dried out after I use the mask >,<

I moisturize after I washed out the mask and tone. It makes my skin feel refresh and soft.

[Guest ChasyLe]

what must i do? put the yakult and the mong bean in the blender together? please reply asap

should the yakult and the bean look like this one?

[Guest Tessellate]

this is amazing! you're gorgeous!!

[hanie]

I want to try this but I'm reluctant...

Doesn't yakult have a TON of sugar in it? Would that help your acne and everything!? O___O It obviously helped yours though! (:

I drank mung beans blended with water twice a day for 3+ months and a lot of my acne went away - but not all of it ): I stopped and my acne just WON'T go away. Btw, is the Witch Hazel toner called like Dickinson's Facial toner...or something along those lines? Every toner I use stings my face. I know my skin's sensitive but I really don't know if it's dry or oily LOL.

Gosh, I really, really, really want to try this...

hi, sugar, when used externally, is a good exfoliator because it has natural BHA (beta hydroxy acids), on a side note, when taken in extreme amounts internally, does cause acne

i will do this every other day

[Guest lisalee89]

Is YA-COOL the same thing as YAKULT? I cant find YAKULT anywhere. but so many other different brands.

[Guest catnekochan]

check your local foodmax to see if they carried it. I got my yakult at foodmax at a fridge near the cake area.

[Guest ickboo]

i have my mask on right now!

it was hard to get the right 'pasty' consistency! it either got too hard or too liquidy.

so i used Maeil and mung bean flour.

i'm gonna leave it on for like an hour since i'm doing nothing atm.

your skin looks gorgeous after 2 months!!!

my skin has stop breaking out and i've had extractions done by my facialist. so i'm experimenting with this mask to heal my scars. yay! i'm excited.

Thanks for sharing this awesome mask tip!

2nd day of using just plain yakult (still dont have mung beans yet)

my acne on my chin has dried but it is still there and face is nice and glowy

will use it again tomorrow

[Guest oneandonlysarang]

WOW, that is amazing !

I am definitely going to try this out !

But im going to have to wait till the next time

I go the market -____- ;

[Guest hypocrite]

I tried the mask yesterday...It did turn out pasty..

but when you wanted to apply it on your face...it's kinda hard to apply..like they dont want to stick on your face..

anybody has this kind of problem as well???

[Guest kotsumi]

I suggest patch testing this on your wrist first.

The first time I tried it I mixed it with green tea powder, since I love it, and everything turned out fine and lovely (really lovely). But when my mom and I were grinding the mung beans in a food processor (the Asian market is far) the powder in the air caused an allergy attack for me. I thought it was just because the dust was so fine, but I guess not ><

I used it again a half hour ago and when I rinsed it off I found red patches on my face and its all itchy and inflamed. I've eaten mung beans before, A LOT, so I totally didn't think this would happen.

So just as a precaution, patch test DIY recipes !

[Guest torteca]

I'm doing it for the second time!

to dicey: Do you have trouble to make it stick on your face? or it drips all over? cause mine keeps dripping!

[Guest starskipper]

i just bought the mung bean flour n yakult!exactly the same ingredient.hope i can get the same flawless like yours:D

is it ok to substitute yakult for milk?

[Guest cherrylollipop]

I used to have a clear skin,

Recently my face developed a lot of acne/pimples...and my skins looks very dull with so many bumps here and there...

I wanna try this mask...

wonders where i can find that mung bean thingy...><

can i just blend the beans till it's a powder form??
