FEATURE: Skintel Anti-Age White

According to skincarephysicians.com, there are two kinds of skin aging: internal and external aging. The former begins at age 20 and can go on from there. Here are some symptoms of internal skin aging:

• Fine wrinkles
• Thin and transparent skin
• Loss of underlying fat, leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck
• Bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin
• Dry skin that may itch
• Inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin
• Graying hair that eventually turns white
• Hair loss
• Unwanted hair
• Nail plate thins, the half moons disappear, and ridges develops

External skin aging, on the other hand, can be acquired through lifestyle-related factors, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, too much sun exposure, and the like.

It's a scary thought that as early as our age now, skin aging can rear its ugly head. Add to that the self-destructive activities that we happen to do on a daily basis that damage our skin. Prevention is always better than cure. Thankfully, there's Skintel Anti-Age White.

This line comes with a facial toner, a body lotion, and a soap. If you frequent any Watsons store, then you probably would have passed by an entire wall filled with DermPharma's wonderful products, Skintel included.

Anyway, if you're worried about catching on the skin aging tell-tale signs, then Skintel might just be the perfect solution for you. Read on to find out what good each item in this line can possibly bring to your skin. (info is derived here)


1. Skintel Anti-Age White Beauty Soap


- cleanses skin, removes skin-damaging impurities that cause premature skin aging, whitens complexion and fights skin aging to make skin cleaner, younger, and fairer.


2. Skintel Anti-Age White Facial Toner
- deeply cleanses the skin, removes skin-damaging impurities, minimizes pore size, whitens complexion, and fights skin aging to make skin smoother, fairer, and younger.


3. Skintel Anti-Age White Body Lotion
- is a non-greasy and non-sticky lotion that moistures, whitens complexion, and fights skin aging to make skin softer, younger, and fairer.


Take your pick and let your skin decide for you. Better yet, grab 'em all to totally combat skin aging! My mom has been using the entire line for weeks now and she absolutely swears by it! The sagging skin on her hands firmed up somehow and looked a little less stressed. She uses the beauty bar all over, in combination with the body lotion. Did I mention that it smells great too? Thanks to the coffee cherry and yam bean extracts that's in the products, the plastic-y, chemical smell and composition of these youth-restoring products, are nothing to be worried about. Just use them and let them work their magic. They say age is but a number and it doesn't have to show up on our skin either!


Swing by your local Watsons stores nationwide for prices and availability concerns. :)

FEATURE: PReGROE 4-in-One Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner

They say the hair is our crowning glory. But what if you suffer from having fine, thin, limp, and/or lifeless hair? Or you just can't seem to get out of a bad hair day streak? Volumizing treatments from salons cost a fortune! Besides, who has the time to maintain regular visits? Many hair products promise volumizing and thickening properties but let's face it, not all of them deliver. 

I have a rich head of hair but when you look at it closely, you'll see that my hair strands are fine. I must have gotten it from my mother's side. Her hair is so fine and thin, you can see her scalp peeking out if she ties it in a ponytail. We've been on the look out for the next great product that can solve this dilemma.

Fortunately for us, Dermpharma came to our urgent rescue. They carry a line of thickening shampoo and conditioner called PReGROE 4-in-One Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner! They also have a gel for styling and also comes in sachets.

PReGROE says:

• Optimize and volumize your fine, thin hair with PReGROE Shampoo and Conditioner, a  unique hair care system that is specifically designed to make strands stronger, thicker while adding volume to your hair.
• PReGROE contains a natural blend of extracts and vitamins formulated to:
• Nourish: leaves a balanced moisture to hair and scalp
• Thicken: boosts maximum body and fullness
• Fortify: prevents hair from drying and brittleness
• Protect: provides cover from heat and sun damage
• Has natural ingredients (aloe vera extract, algae extract, rosemary extract, and so much more)

My take on it:

• No kidding, it really works! It delivers to its promise of thickening and volumizing hair strands.
• It doesn't promise hair growth. For that, there's ReGROE Hair Treatment System, also from Dermpharma.
• We've seen vast improvement on my mom's hair. It now looks and feels thicker and smoother!
• Affordable. The price ranges from Php 199 to Php 349
• Widely available. Watson's carries in their shelves
• Has no annoying scent, very faint
• It's a local brand! Support Pinoy enterprise!

Say goodbye to fine, thin, and limp hair. Try PReGROE 4-in-One Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. Enough of the bad hair days and be free to show off your crowning glory. :)

FEATURE: Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock X80

With the weather going haywire lately, it's really tricky. Some parts of the day are sunny, while others have scattered rain showers or even heavy downpour at times. Nevertheless, sunblock is a must for us girls (and guys) who are always on the go. We do not only need protection from the sun alone but from electronic appliances as well; they also give off radiation that can potentially harm our health. So whether you're stepping out or staying in, it's still best to put on some sunblock to save your skin from damage.

For Asian skin, SPF 15 to SPF 24 is the minimum requirement that we should look for in terms of sunblock, that's according to the American Association of Dermatology. But sometimes, SPF 24 is not enough, especially for longer sun exposure, like when we hit the beach or spend a great deal of time walking or staying under the sun. We live in a tropical country, meaning, we are more prone to sun damage than others who live elsewhere. We need something with a higher range of protection against the 5 risks of sun exposure:

• Sunburn
• Age Spots
• Melasma
• Wrinkles
• Skin Cancer

Good thing there's Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock Extreme 80. Here's why:

• For starters, it has a high sun protection factor (SPF 80).
• It protects skin against both UVA and UVB radiation (sunscreen only protects against UVA). Also, even if the weather is cloudy to overcast, UV rays are still present and can seep through the clouds. It's really best to use sunblock regardless of the coolness of the weather.
• It's water-resistant. Even if you swim or sweat, chances are, this sunblock will keep you protected for at least 8 hours. Re-application is necessary, of course.
• It's PABA-free (Para-Amino Benzoic Acid). It's a component in many sunblocks that cause allergic reactions. Dermplus assures you there's none in their line of products.
• It's dermatologist-tested.
• Its active components include: aloe vera, to soothe and cool sunburned skin; seaweed extract, to nourish skin damage from prolonged sun exposure and to moisturize and nourish skin so it stays healthy and young; and titanium dioxide, to block skin-damaging UVA and UVB rays, it is also ideal for people with sensitive skin and recommended for everyday use.

My take on the matter:

• It's a good investment. At about Php 349 (retail price for a 100 mL tube/bottle), you're buying your skin so much time and health in the long run.
• Stays on for a long time but isn't very heavy on the skin. It's just like putting on your regular lotion.
• Not greasy at all.
• Faint to negligible scent.
• Doesn't leave much of a white cast after blending well on to the skin.
• Doesn't patch after wearing it for hours on end.
• Doesn't irritate my skin or cause any breakouts.
• Ideal for use from the neck down. I use a separate sunblock for the face kasi. ;)
• Widely available in groceries, Watson's branches, department stores, etc. 
• It comes in a cute lime tube/bottle!
• There are other varieties available: SPF 24, SPF 35, SPF 35 Scented and SPF 35 for Kids

Thanks to Ms. Marifel Geronimo of JLC Miller & Co. for the gift pack! :)

 They have other products available too!

Stay tuned for more features on some of Dermpharma's other products! :)

Whether you're an athlete or just another person on-the-run, protect your skin with Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock X80! It's your best weapon against the 5 risks of sun exposure, because you're not totally sun-protected until you're Dermplus-protected!
