Amira Magic Cream
As I've said on my previous post, I've been doing Pilates. The only bad thing that has come out of doing Pilates is having dark spots on the knees because in Pilates you do some kneeling. My trousers aren’t long enough to cover my entire knees. Two weeks into Pilates, I noticed that I’m starting to get dark knees. I got alarmed and tried using my bandages to wrap my knees every time but I guess it just got worse. So I started looking for knee pads and found them at Sun and Sand Sports at City Center. I bought 2 pieces of Body Sculpture brand but unfortunately failed to check the size, so now I still have to return them. I’m hoping to get my size.
Now I’m trying to do some damage control on my knees. I’ve been applying Amira Magic Cream which I brought from the Philippines. Just a short note on Magic Cream, they say that it originally comes from this part of the world, Saudi Arabia in particular. How come it’s more expensive in Saudi and even in Qatar. I saw some being sold at one of the Filipino stores in the Souk. They’re selling it for QR50 (700 pesos) while I bought mine for only 500 pesos. Anyway, for those who use it, just make sure to get the Amira brand because they say it’s the original. And if you wish to get it cheaper, bring some from the Philippines. I just don’t know if it’s going to pass the inspection at the airport.
Then two days ago, I started rubbing lemon on my knees whenever I take a bath, hoping that it’s going to have any effect. I just thought that if "kalamansi" does have a whitening effect, so does lemon. Well I really hope it does.
