Organic Zeron

*scratch* 

ok so about 2 years ago I wrote about organic skincare and how I don't think they work but just a marketing gimmick , but here..

*scratch again* oops it's my scalp , I don't have hookworm ok ? *insert cheeky emoji* 

But here I am going to blog about the organic hair product I found lately . Well I must say organic skincare is not too good as you need to suffer down time while your skin try to get use to it , you can't really hide your face for 2 months can you ? But for organic hair products you could always wear a hat and hide from bad hair days , or bad scalp days . 

I have recently been diagnosed with sensitive scalp *show microscopic scanner* so which is why I am scratchy scratchy .Badically you could see that my skin is all inflamed and red blood vessels are highly visible on my scalp *point scanner picture* . This could be a few reason , sun exposure , the use of harsh chemical hair products, the use of regro solution on my scalp for a long time and of course  extensive bleaching . The symptoms are prominent , as I tend to have break out on my scalp and also itchiness when I don't wash it properly after I swim. The search for the right shampoo and conditioner is really a pain as the ones in Malaysia are either sky high price like Aveda or just does not have the right size , such as A'kin unscented very gentle shampoo . Seriously that 225ml bottle for my long locks don't go a long way at all !! 

Untill a fine supernatural day I went and get my roots done by a hair technician , she hooked me up with Zeron , and from then on I am in love *lovestrucked emoji* The use of organic products can be frustrating as usually they don't foam up as they don't use any sodium lauryl sulphate , but Zeron foams up nicely but of course they are zero percent sulphate free too . And because it is so mild , give it a double shampoo if you have very oily or if you sweat a whole lot. The pack size is big for such a price tag so you don't feel the pinch for double cleansing. The weather is too hot in Malaysia , even for normal individual that stays indoor all the time, double cleansing is usually needed. And if I have to pay ~RM500 per pair for 1L pack ( no pump / dispenser ) *roll eyes* I am going to eat only  Gardenia bread from 99mart every night for dinner. 

Now everyone seems to love the marshmallow or watermelon conditioner these days , but for sensitive scalp it is best to stay away from artificial fragrance , although I do wish to smell like a walking strawberry shortcakes. The scent is from plant base essential oils so it's like walking into a Thai massage spa or Jurlique beauty store each time I am in shower, I am all relaxed from the hair follicles to the splitted ends of my hair LOL 

Sensitive scalps includes all with eczema , dry flaky scalp and serious dandruff problems. Paraben , silicone and sodium chloride are all irritant and would worsen the cases. And due to the hot weather in our country , constant UV exposure at the top of our head makes the area worse , for my Malay friends who wear head scarfs will not suffer from sun damage on scalp but they have they their problems too , for example sweats get trapped on their scalp and the area would be more prone to fungal infection . Or the more should avoid using products with irritant ! 

Essential oils can be an irritant , but in Zeron , they use lavender oil to soothe it and Argan oil for nourishment , 99% pure to minimize irritation , only if it happens . The brand has a thinning range which I am yet to try , since I still have a full bottle of regro solution , would be a good alternative if next time I want to keep my scalp medicine free  .. Hehe .. 

The pump is efficient with a wide head top to fit nicely on your palm . Hate it when the pump is small and slim , they tend to break so easily after wear and tear , bare in mind you use your shampoo daily , and I hate pump straw that are narrow , getting stuck easily when the solution is thick , this one does not have that problem at all *big clap emoji* !

Hydroquinone 4% cream

The best thing for stubborn stubborn stains , oops I meant pigment on your face , though to me it really looks like a stain on anybody's face. Well the sight of pigmentation on your cheekbones can be annoying I know , I totally feel you because when I see someone with freckled face I wouldn't try to be nice and say it makes you look cute , because really let's face it 30 years old is wayyyy too old to look cute , it can be really insulting if you are a deep thinker . I believe in the saying 'if you have nothing better to say , it's best to say nothing at all ' .

Pigmentation also known as melasma , it's the appearance of dark spots at areas with high sun exposure , such as your Nose bridge , cheek bones and forehead . The over production of melanin in your body is usually not known why , some say hereditary but not a hundred percent . I would say unlucky if you are fair skinned Asian , and lucky if you are dark-skinned Blacks . The melanin gives us color and the under production of it makes you look pale , for example an albino and you get sun burn much more easily . So the key here is a balance , everything now is about balance I hear it all the time , work life balance , balance diet , balance in relationships escetera escetera ...

It's great if you have it on a single or few areas of your notable skins , because all you need is just a cream ! But if your freckles are all distributed in your body , they would need systemic ( overall ) reduction of melanin , which can be difficult . 

Now there are some really famous formulation in the market for instance Obagi , from the USA but they are hell expensive especially if you get them in the dermatologist clinic in Malaysia , they have some exclusive partnership going on so you don't get it else where and for those ladies who does not do online purchase often , this is their only place to get it , hence resulting the sky high price but still monopolizing the market . The formulation is good but it is way to much to pay for for such a cheap active ingredient . 

Hydroquinone is only less than Rm 10 when you get them in bulk powder if you compound it , well I am not asking you to make your own cream at home but you get the idea.. Why pay so much ?? 

The tube of 4% hydroquinone cream  is only about Rm30 in pharmacy , so there you go with Obagi price , you can buy like 10 tubes of cream for one Obagi cream. Hydroquinone is a bleaching cream so bare in mind you can get very bad reaction is your skin is very very thin and sensitive . If so make sure when you use the cream with some aloe Vera gel (as pure as possible like 92-99%) to help with the burn like feeling and apply sunblock every 2 hours when you are using it on high exposure area (like face, cheekbones area) . The redness and tenderness on the area of use can really put you off using the cream in the long term , if so try using it every other day , trust me your skin will build a tolerance in a month and soon you will be asking me is there a higher strength ?? 4% not enuffffff !!! ??!!! LOL 

You will have to make your own cream in your house junk yard if you really want a higher strength , well you will have to know people like me personally to be able to help source your raw materials *insert wink emoji* . Till then enjoy this amazing cream to lighten your freckles and enjoy flawless Korean like skin , except without the BB cream girls !! 

Ps : You should never never skip sunblock when on hydroquinone cream . 

Pps : you will get fried up if you don't ! 

Ppps : I didn't mean to scare you , love you all much .
