Jogja - Horror from Prambanan Temple

2nd day trip to Prambanan Temple The largest Hindu Temple in Indonesia and is quoted as one of the largest and most beautiful Hindu Temples in Southeast Asia. The Majestic Temples - moral of the story when you going for trip please avoid holiday time. I experienced this in Beijing where all the tourist attraction is full with local people. Here in Indonesia, I have to compete with the local.... huhuhuhuh too many of them... I am suffocated!  if you see on the left there goes the collapse stones after the earthquake. There are some restoration of this temple in progress.  The temple built to honor Lord Shiva.

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
