I've recently bought a bottle of white powder (in pill form) from Tan Kim Hock (Malacca)

Anyone hav eany idea how to use it?

Thanks in advance

I used it whenever I am under the sun for more than 1/2 hours, cuz my skin will easily bcome red whenever under the sun. It is very cooling and yupe, I use the same brand as u. Try the below steps:

1. Crush the powder until small small.

2. Add in water.

3. Put on cotton pad

4. Apply on skin, and rest it for 5-15 min.

It can reduce redness, and with cooling effect.

I think the chinese name for cold powder is shui fen (水粉）。

It look like choc chip, like water droplet but in white colour one... most chinese medicine grocery shop will sell them... just mention "bedak sejuk" or "shui fen" (direct translation="water powder"). Yea, i like it too, make my skin feeling fresh and not oily when wake up in the morning..

since it help sebum secretion, of course it's drying. if you have dry face, of course got wrinkles. people with oily skin get pimples. people with dry skin get wrinkles. its the way of life. so advice not to wear everyday for those who are afraid the thing will cause dry face.

that is why i say its drying and cause wrinkles i the long runX.X

and no,dry face and wrinkles isnt the same time.no,if u have dry skin,nt neccessary will have wrinke automatically.though overtime if nothing is done about dry skin to adress them,fine lines appaer and will eventually lead to wrinkles with age because of increasing age:decrease in collagen production,the pull of gravity and skin damage cause by UV.
