Malaysia’s hot and humid weather is something many of us love to complain about—sticky skin, melting makeup, and endless sweating.
But for one Indonesian traveler, Kuala Lumpur’s air was a game-changer for her skin.
In a viral video, she shared how her makeup looked flawless and her skin appeared naturally radiant while in KL, something she never experienced back home in Jakarta.
Netizens agree: ‘Skin got better in Malaysia’
Her claim struck a chord with fellow Indonesians who had lived in Malaysia.
One woman shared that her skin became brighter and smoother after spending four years in Malaysia, but once she returned to Indonesia, she started breaking out again.
One person even mentioned experiencing a sore throat and cough after being exposed to the air in Medan.
Even Malaysians notice the difference
Some Malaysians also chimed in, sharing how traveling affected their skin. One person said their acne flared up while in South Korea but cleared up after returning to Malaysia.
However, not everyone had the same experience. A handful of people claimed their skin actually looked better in Jakarta but worsened in Malaysia.
While the debate continues, one thing’s for sure—air quality might play a bigger role in skincare than we think.
