Ever since I came back to KL, I noticed my face and arms to become darker. I wonder if the sun in KL was more ferocious than the sun in Penang? :P

Actually I know why this happened.

First of all, I have stopped using my Olay White Radiance night cream because I am currently using Biotherm Aqua Gel for skin hydration. Guess I have to switch back to Olay White Radiance night cream very soon, so that damage can be repaired before it gets worse!

Secondly, I’m now staying in a landed house. The sun shin drops right at my front door in the morning. I can’t avoid going out because I have to hang up my washed clothes. And when we go out during daytime on the weekends, I have to stand under the sun to open the gate for hubby to drive his car out. In short, more exposure to the sun light now! Nothing that I can do about this until we have our automated gate installed. (Don’t know when!)

What I can do is to make sure every morning I apply my Nivea Body UV Protection Lotion before I go out of the house, even if it’s for a short while. The only problem with this Nivea Body UV Protection lotion is - the lotion has only UVA/UVB filters and Iso-Protectine. No SPF is indicated. The labels says it can prevent skin darkening and premature skin aging though.

Iso-Protectine

A nature-derived anti-oxidant that works dynamically inside your skin’s deeper layers, boosting your skin’s own protection system to help prevent premature skin aging and make it 3 times more resistant to the most damaging stress factors, such as pollution, smoke and UV rays.

I’m just wondering if this lotion will actually help since there is no SPF.

Today is the first day of the last month of 2008. Besides being busy with Christmas shopping, perhaps it is also time to start drafting another never-get-accomplished New Year resolution for 2009? Haha!

I don’t normally set New Year resolution. May be this year I should. Other than I want to lose 3 kg in weight and 2 inches on the waist (is it possible?!), I want to be able to drive.

Yes, I can’t drive, even though I’ve got a driver license. :P

I’ve Never Ever driven a car since I acquired my DL, which was like 12 years ago. Haha! I need to take a driving refresher course. I know it’s not like taking a CDL training to obtain a commercial driver’s license. It’s just a refresher course. I don’t even have to retake a driving test. But somehow I think driving is tough. I’m really bad at making turns and estimating distance, you know. :P

Hmm, may be I shouldn’t make this my New Year resolution after all. I don’t even have a car to drive, what’s the point of being able to drive? I will eventually un-learn what I learned again. Hahaha!
