January Haul: Skin Care and Beauty Tool

Hey, hey!

I got some new skin care stuff today. My skin's been acting up lately.I figured, why not introduce new things in my skincare routine because I have to admit that I tend to slack off on maintaining any routine. I hope to at least sustain this one long enough to witness visible results and recommend these products to you guys for real. Hopefully these will work! I'll keep you guys posted!

Anyway, here are some my latest additions to my collection:

• Deoproce Essence Moisture Skin (Green Tea Toner) - Php 625
• Snoe Awesome Poresome Beauty Bar - Php 199
• On an unrelated note, I got myself a new eyelash curler (Php 175) and spare rubbers (Php 45/3 pcs). This one is from FS Cosmetics (formerly Fanny Serrano Cosmetics). I read from a forum that this is a good one. My old eyelash curler keeps grabbing on to my skin. Blech!

I got the first and third from the SM Store in SM Santa Rosa and the beauty bar is from the Snoe store in the same mall. I find it odd that Samsung is now penetrating the skin care industry. I haven't done my research, but the saleslady said that the brand Deoproce has been around for 3 years, mainly in bigger SM malls (i.e. Megamall, Southmall, etc.) but has only recently come to Santa Rosa. It's a Korean skin care brand. Why not give it a go? 

*Side note: I have tried the beauty bar and the toner today and my skin feels so much better. Guess we'll just have to wait and see a couple more days and maybe even weeks if this attempt at salvaging my poor skin will be successful.

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. :)

Tea Tree Oil - Pimple Control

Okay, so I tried making a tutorial video for y'all. Please be gentle. Ha ha! It's my first one and it's not exactly of the best quality since I used my phone for recording and I'm not exactly Quentin Tarantino, so please bear with me.

Anyway, I noticed that my pimples are starting to manifest since my period is just around the corner. I know some of you can relate to such a crappy PMS moment. Others have regular or for the luckier ones, very rare episodes. In any case, this video will (hopefully) help you get rid of those zits fast sans the harmful chemicals and the hefty price tag.

I give you, Tea Tree Oil! It has soooo many benefits and pimple-control is only one of them. You can also use it for dandruff, wounds, etc. Just Google its uses and you're set. Anyway, this video probably says it all.

Products Used:

Zen Zest Tea Tree Oil (Php 150/15mL bottle)

Human Nature Organic Aloe Vera and Guava Facial Wash

Pond's Acne Expert Pore Conditioning Toner

Cotton bud

Steps:

1. Cleanse your face with a facial wash that is especially for pimple control or for troubled skin.

2. Toner is optional at this point.

3. Put a few drops of the tea tree oil on the swab and dab away.

Sorry if the video's too short or too quick. I'm really camera-shy. Heehee. Anyway, tea tree oil really helps get rid of those nasty pimples before they even start wrecking havoc on your precious face. Remember, don't go poppin' them 'cause it will only make things worse. Just dab on tea tree oil and keep your face clean at all times. Here's to a more flawless you! :)

Love,

SGT <3
