I do have a few little Shiseido ball bearing shales left from Japan which used to accompany us on holidays to Asia.. It's not far off from ZINC consistancy.

Not sure if you use zinc in your location? It's a thick white cream (available in different colours) often seen on this side wiped accross the shnoz and face. Here's photo to give you an idea.. UPDATE: We also have a new look clear

There are many moisturises that you could use. Thy all work really, although, if it's available I recommend the Gillette aftershave balm. Works a treat.

Also, before I slap on the shaving cream, there's a sort of before shave balm that you put on to protect the skin. Helps with keeping the skin moist too.

Hard to explain XY but it's a real Ay=ussie icon here at the beach. The look of white, and all the other coloured zincs accross the face is just so Aussie beach!

It does do the job by the way, except with I believe a 100% bock out rate.

I personally wouldn't trust the clear stuff as doing the same job, but that's just me. You grow up with what you know as they say.

What makes me die is the women here who go topless, smother themselves with a shiny coconut oil, and lay in the boiling sun all day.

Their skin will look like fried bacon when they get older

1. More sleep, and keep to a routine, say, sleep at midnight and wake up 9am.
2. Cold teabags or cold teaspoons on eyes for 15 minutes, everyday can help prevent more discoloration
3. Ditto Cucumbers
4.Check your vitamin B12 intake, usually, a lack of B12 can cause dark circles. If that's the case, take more supplements and you can find b12 naturally if you eat fish and meat [in moderate amounts]
5. reduce salt intake, or so says my mother.

I also heard from suki, there's an excellent eye cream from Keihls.

Its a really cheap mask that combats black heads [exfoliating] and there are properties in the aspirin that kill spot bacteria. ITS GOOD FOR UNISEX. [if you don't want to use chemical product, sugar cubes might work] I suggest using this mask 1 times a week for oily acne prone skin, once a fortnight for normal skin, and verry occasionally for dry skin.

3 aspirin tablets
teaspoon of honey [any honey]
a couple flecks of water

directions
1. Pop three asprin tablets into a small plate.
2. Fleck some water on it, not too much water, just so it's still grainy
3. Squirt honey on top
4.Mix & apply on face [face should be rinsed with warm water before application]
5. leave for 15 minutes
6. As you rinse it off, rub gently in circular motions especially around nose area to get the crap out.

Application should look like this


and tadaaa, should be cleaned and exfoliated, skin feels softer instantly

I have atopic skin condition. Just wanted to let everyone know. I have dry skin and produces almost no natural oil, nor can I sweat until I'm worked to death, so it is very hard for me to manage myself. If I do not coat myself with lotion after everytime I get wet, such as in a shower my skin dries, deteriorates and cracks. That starts boils, cuts and bleeding everywhere. The bright side? No pimples due to no oils. The worst? Its to reach my back, so it bleeds unless I take the appropriate time making sure I applied it correctly.
