Lotion Review: Virgin Coco Naturals Body Lotion

Lotions are an important part of skincare because we should not just take care of our face but also of our body. For this entry, I reviewed Virgin Coco Naturals Body Lotion by Body Treats.

Packaging : 850mL big 

Directions: Smoothen lightly over your skin regularly early morning and night after cleansing

Unique ingredient: Cocos nucifera (Virgin Coconut) oil

Where to buy: Watsons 

Price: 199-299 (sometimes they go on sale or Buy1 Take1)

Scent: just like coconut oil!

 We all know of the moisturizing power of virgin coconut oil, right? This lotion boasts of that! And after using this lotion for two months now, I noticed that my skin is no longer dry! This lotion is a powerful moisturizer, even my hands feels softer.

This product is not so thick and has a nice coconut smell. I recommend this product is you are looking for a lotion that will really moisturize your skin. It comes in a big packaging and can lasts you for months! Unlike any other lotions, this does not whiten skin so that could be a catch if you are into skin whitening,

Here's a rundown of my review:

PROS
Great moisturizer
Can be used as a hand lotion
Good smell

CONS
Comes in a big packaging (you cannot try it with a smaller one first)
Only available in Watsons store
Does not whiten skin

Cheap Finds! Pond's White Beauty Detox Review

Acne marks are so stubborn and they can remain in your skin for a long (very long) time. We tried this cream to check if we can finally say goodbye to those marks.

Pond’s White Beauty detox Spotless White Cream is moisturizer that according to the back label,is formulated to give our skin up to 50% whiter and illuminated skin with fewer dark spots and acne marks. This is a 10g tube.

Ingredients: contains vitamins B3, B6, C and E that helps fight skin darkening together. This product also boasts of its triple sunscreen that promises to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays from the sun.

Application: Apply every morning after washing your face but don’t stay too long under the sun.

It has a thick consistency, a bit sticky and a little heavy on the skin. The scent is mild and typical of other Pond’s product.

We used this product for two months and we noticed that our dark spots did lighten up but not completely disappeared.  Acne marks are very difficult to treat and we recommend this product is you are very patient to wait for its full results.

Here’s a rundown of our review:

PROS

Cheap

Convenient tube

With UV protection

Lightens dark spots

CONS

Sticky

Takes a long time to take effect

Cheap Finds! Pond's White Beauty Review

If you're looking for something cheap but great on skin, this is the product for you.

New Pond's White Beauty Translucent Pinkish White Glow (very long name, I know) is available at P10.00 for a 7g sachet. 

It has nice slightly thick consistency and mild sweet scent. It sticks on the face well and even outs smoothly. It gives the face powder like finish upon drying up. It does feel a little sticky though when you get sweaty.

After two weeks of using this product we noticed that it makes the skin lighter and pinkish! It is a great product for daily use especially if you're not the type who likes to put on make up everyday. It didn't cause any break outs, too!

Here are some of the ingredients:

Benzoic acid = helps fights pimples

Niacinamide = helps lightens skin

Saffron = known to lighten skin

Korean Ginseng = brightens skin and makes it appear younger

          The back label says to use it every morning after cleansing your skin but it also warns about not staying too long in the sun because it has no sun blocking effects. So be careful when you stay out in the sun using this product. 

          This product is also a good base for make up. Aside from that it is very convenient to use. We recommend this product as a daily morning base or cream. Here's the rundown of our review:

PROS:

Very cheap

Good base

Powder finish

Lightens skin

Does not cause break out

CONS:

Does not clear dark spots

No sun blocking effect

Why Your Underarm Should Love Avon Feelin' Fresh 4 in 1 Whitening

Okay, let's admit it, we get conscious of our kili-kili especially if it's dark and sweaty (and sometimes smelly. Ewww) 

There are many great antiperspirants and/or deodorants in the market but most of them darkens underarm skin. Avon Feelin Fresh 4 in Whitening promises to do the opposite. It claims to whiten the underarm skin and in this variant, it says it has the added benefits of hair minimizing,

Avon Feelin Fresh 4 in 1 Whitening comes in a 60g squeeze tube and has a very mild sweet scent. The only problem for me is that since it comes in tube form, you have to use your fingers to apply it on your underarm instead of the usual roll-on, that could be a small hassle especially if you need to use your fingers again for applying facial products afterwards.

It has a slightly thick consistency which coats your underarm well, it dries quite fast too. You just need to apply a small amount for each underarm.

This fruity floral scented deodorant cream is infused with SSS Smoothing Complex that visibly reduces the appearance of hair to lessen frequent shaving. Formulated with Dry Pore Technology and Avon Patented Ingredient - TDPA, it provides 24-Hours protection against underarm odor and helps whiten skin.

Here are some of the ingredients among others:

Aluminium chlorohydrate - the anti sweat ingredient
Glyceryl stearate - emulsifier
Isopropyl palmitate - thickening agent and emollient

Okay, so I will admit that I absolutely love this product because it delivers what it promises which are:

1. Skin looks whiter in 1 week

2. Dry and odor free

3. Helps stop sweat

4.Non-sticky

I recommend this product if you are looking for an alternative to your usual roll-on. Here's a rundown of my review:

PROS: 

Whitens skin

Non Sticky

Soften pores

Dries quickly

Lasting effectiveness

CONS: 

Comes in a tube

Not easy to find

Eskinol Facial Cleanser Review

There are many products in the market that cater for western and Asian skin but did you know that Eskinol Facial Cleanser is specifically formulated for Filipino and Filipina Skin?

"Eskinol Facial Deep Cleansers contain Micro-cleanse Anti-Bacterial Formula that removes pimple-causing dirt left from washing with soap."

This just means that this product not only knows our skin type, it also knows what our skin goes through every day: pollution, stress, heat and all these factors in the Philippines that are costing our skin it's beauty!

We know that stress and heat is almost unavoidable as well as the pollution that causes dirt to accumulate in our skin and can make all those ugly pimples come out! This is where Eskinol Facial Deep Cleanser comes to our rescue by cleaning out our skin and preventing those ugly pimples from coming back.

• Removes deep seated dirt, excess oil and makeup with Micro-cleanse Anti-bacterial Formula

You can even use Eskinol in other parts of your body other than your face and neck that needs cleaning! You just put a small amount on a cotton and you'll notice all those dirt removed!

That's why we strongly recommend this product for day to day use. However, if you think it makes your skin feel too dry after using, don't hesitate to use moisturizer afterwards.

So go ahead, your clearer, more beautiful skin awaits!

3 Uses of Nivea Creme That You Should Know

Nivea Creme is a household name in the Philippine skincare product line as a moisturizer but we'll give you three more reasons to love it.

First, short history lesson.

The Nivea brand has been existing for a long time already, it was founded on March 28, 1882, just to prove my point. Their moisturizer product has been around so much (1911) that many people have been loyal to it. 

End of history lesson. Now let's get started!

1.Make-up Remover 

  After a very long day, you should not keep your make up stuck on your face! Many people have said that Nivea Creme removes make up very well.  It rids the face off your make up with the added benefit of moisturizing it. Just be more careful around your eye areas as it might be a little irritating if it gets in direct contact. 

2.Lip Gloss  

Now this might come as a surprise but it actually does work! All you need to do is to just take a small amount of Nivea Creme and dab it lightly on your lips as an emergency lip gloss for those dry lips on yours and voila, you're ready to go ahead and smile (or kiss).

3.Hair Mask 

Last of the list is a bigger surprise than #2! Apply a small amount of Nivea Creme on your post shower hair as a substitute to your usual conditioner. Leave a thin film of Nivea Creme and your hair will be instantly moisturized. 

So there you go! Just remember to use this product moderately around delicate areas likes the mouth and the eyes and then you'll have an emergency go-to product. Nivea Creme is a very versatile product and still remains to be as a great time tested facial moisturizer.

Pond's Acne Clear AntiAcne Facial Foam Review

Don't we all hate pimples? Now this facial wash promises to clear your face of those red perky zits by working from the inside of your skin. Sounds promising! So I tried it for a month to see if it does work. 

Pond's Acne Clear AntiAcne facial foam costs about P85.00 for a 60g tube. It is affordable and is even available on small sachets for P7.00! It boasts of its "unique Lock + Clear Technology" that "targets acne at the root"

The scent is a little minty or maybe something that reminds me of green tea. The consistency is not so good and it lathers well. I used this product for twice a day, everyday for two weeks and here's what I noticed: 

Well to start off, I have to small pimples on my right cheek and it didn't even got smaller. Also, my face got a little bit drier than usual. In all fairness, it does clean your face well but in my case, I had tiny breakouts! 

People reacts differently to different product but unfortunately, this product is not good for me. I suggest buying the small sachet and trying it our first. Be careful though, I've warned you *wink*

PROS: 

• Cheap
• Easily available
• Cleanses well

CONS:

• Dries skin
• might cause breakouts
• does not reduce pimple size well
