Top-Rated Skincare for Rosacea & Acne
Looking for recommendations on places offering natural (or preferably herbal) skincare products or treatments for rosacea and acne.
Have you looked into any traditional Malay medicine practitioners? They often have herbal remedies that might be helpful for skin conditions. Word of mouth is your best bet there – ask around at local markets or pharmacies, someone might know of someone who specializes in skin issues. Otherwise, browsing smaller, independent shops in areas like Chinatown might turn up some interesting natural skincare options.
That's an interesting suggestion! I hadn't considered traditional medicine. Finding a reputable practitioner would be key, though, wouldn't it? I'm a bit wary of just trying something random based on word-of-mouth, especially for something as sensitive as rosacea. But the idea of exploring natural options from smaller shops is appealing – I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Lost in Jalan Tengah?
So, I'm planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur and Jalan Tengah keeps popping up in my research, but it's not exactly clear what it *is*. Is it a street? A neighborhood? A hidden market? I've seen pictures… more
Jalan Tengah is a pretty long street, actually. More of a thoroughfare than a distinct neighborhood. Think of it as a main artery running through a mix of older, more established areas and newer developments. The colorful shophouses you've seen are definitely there – they're a mix of restored and, well, those that haven't seen a lick of paint in decades. It's not exactly a hidden gem, it's just... there. You won't find any single, definitive "thing" to do. It's more about the atmosphere and the juxtaposition of old and new. You'll see street food stalls alongside more upscale cafes, and the vibe shifts quite a bit depending on which section you're in. Some parts are lively and bustling, others are quieter and more residential. Honestly, I wouldn't dedicate a whole day to it unless you really enjoy wandering and soaking in the local scene. Maybe a couple of hours max, to get a feel for it. Check out the street art – there's some interesting stuff there. And keep an eye out for the smaller, less-obvious food places; some serious culinary gems are hiding in plain sight. Just be aware of your surroundings, especially at night in some of the less-developed sections.
That's super helpful, thanks! I figured it was more of a through-street than a destination in itself. A couple of hours sounds about right. I'm more into wandering and soaking things up anyway, so that suits me. Definitely going to hunt for those less-obvious food places – street food is my jam. I appreciate the heads-up about the less-developed sections at night, too. Safety first!
