The Unique

  Ingredients: ·          500 grams of white sugar ·          1 liter of milk First, I pour the sugar and milk into a quiet big pot and bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Once it starts boiling, I keep cooking it for another 30 minutes over medium heat, still stirring nonstop. After 30 minutes, I pour the condensed milk into a bowl and place it in the fridge for about 5 hours to thicken.  You can store this homemade condensed milk in the fridge for a long time—it keeps really well and doesn’t spoil easily. Nu sh olsun!

About a year ago, during the winter, my skin got a lot drier, and I started breaking out with pimples on my face. So, I decided to make some additions to my skincare routine. Every morning and evening, I mixed a tiny bit of Vaseline with my moisturizer and applied it to my face. But here’s the thing—you have to be careful with Vaseline. If you mix in a large amount with your moisturizer, it can clog your pores and cause even more breakouts. Also, if you already have milia (those small white bumps) under your eyes, putting Vaseline there can make them worse. Some people mix an entire jar of Vaseline with a whole jar of moisturizer and use it like that—but I don’t recommend it. Vaseline can cause the moisturizer to spoil faster. I also started using facial oil on top of my moisturizer, both in the morning and at night. After about one to two weeks, my pimples cleared up. That’s when I realized they were caused by a lack of moisture in my skin.
