Korean noodle drama

Lock down in March 2020 led to the "Korean Noodle" trend all over the country. People put the 2x spicy noodles to the test and posted their reactions online. Well being a lover of the spicy side of life, I tried it too. I prepped myself really well to try the ramen noodles out. I made sure I had ice water, milkshake and ice cream in case the burn was too much to handle.

The noodle were quick and easy to prepare and the instructions clear cut.

The picture above is the prepared noodles, it tasted good and was like Nando's hot, which was bearable until I reached the the end of the bowl. It was after I finished the bowl of noodles, I felt the actual burn.

My lips went all numb and felt like they were swollen and about to fall off.... I drank a liter of milkshake and rubbed ice to calm my lips down but it kept burning for a good hour.

This was just the beginning...

The next few days I saw flames, my skin broke out badly and my skin was all scarred badly and it just affected everything. I have worked hard to keep my oily T-zone under control and my skin clear from acne, and with one bowl it all came crashing down. I became insecure about my skin, more conscience about how my skin looked to the rest of the world.

I had to stop using makeup completely and find a something to help calm the break out instantly and given that it was still Level 5 lockdown, I could not order any new products or even find a quick fix, so ultimately 'I was screwed'.

I started with the ultimate Haldi Utban (Read the post on Haldi Utban for the method and the how to) to disinfect the skin, calming the breakout while taking care not to over cleanse the skin, as that may create irritation to the inflamed skin. The utban truly was a saving grace, it calmed the inflammation on my skin after 2 uses but i was left with these dark scars.

The scars became something could no longer bare and started researching Korean skin care available in South Africa, to solve the problem I currently faced. It was Korean noodles that caused my drama I was dead certain their facial products could solve it.

The moment Lockdown levels changed and companies were allowed to ship essentials needed i placed an order with Seoul of Tokyo Beauty Products for the Some By Mi 30 day AC SOS acne kit, and the YUJA NIACIN 30 day brightening kit. The SWIITCHBEAUTY Dewy skin mist and the Glass Skin Skin mist.

These product helped clear the skin and brighten and even my skin tone after the damage caused to it. The next step was to nail my day and night routine to keep my skin clear, glowing and brighter without clogging my pores or aging my skin too fast.

I vowed to stay clear of makeup for a good few months to give my skin space to heal and breathe, which was the best choice I have made for the betterment of my skin, although not the best for my social media page as it was going to impact my impressions and my content, but it was all worth it.

Note to oneself, never to get those noodles again
