Guest Post: Importance of Smooth Skin

Today, we have a special guest post that came from Skin Vitality Medical Clinic. Cindy Clark will be sharing with us the importance of a smooth skin. For all the ladies who are fond of doing makeup, like me, we all should have to read this post.

The Importance of Smooth Skin

Beautiful skin is one of the most sought after features. Is there anything more attractive than a flawless complexion? While full lips and dazzling eyes are coveted, smooth skin tops the list for most of us. It’s an indication of several things, including youthfulness, health and good hygiene – even though you can still have gorgeous skin in your latter years or when you’re sick (it’s just what we normally automatically assume).

Another blog post that will be talking about Dermalogica. I am so excited when I received this skin care goody from my Tita. I didn't expect to receive one like this from her but since it's already here I'll just have to enjoy using it and share with you my experience.

I've heard good feedbacks about Dermalogica and I'm one of the lucky girl to have one from their line. This one is for all skin conditions and that means I can use this to exfoliate my face. Well, I think what I need is exfoliation to get rid off of the dead skin cells.

Shiffa Skin Care Products

*In case you haven't join my 2nd giveaway, please click this link to enter. 2nd giveaway!* 

Hello ladies! Ever heard of Shiffa Skin Care Products? If you haven't this is what I'm going to blog tonight. For my readers who are from Middle East place, maybe this is familiar to you. The skin care product is actually from Dubai that was created by Dr. Lamees Hamdan, a passionate woman who has been creating organic products based on the principles of dermatology since 2004. 

So anyway, my Tita has arrived this morning from Dubai and I've been messaging her lately that I want to have makeup goodies like NARS, NYX, brushes, palettes but so disappointing that they're not available in Dubai and the stores there just can't have these makeup products because Dubai is strict when it comes to importing in there country and it should be "Halal". So later on I decided to change what I want from her since she's going home and I have discussed her about my face condition like the acne scars and oiliness, etc. She arrived this morning and she gave me these new skin products that are quite new to me and this is the Shiffa skin care products.

I love how the packaging. :)

Skin Care Products That I Use Daily

Picture above from L-R, Clean and Clear Acne Clearing Cleanser;Eskinol Ice Pore therapy Facial Scrub;Ponds Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam;Eskinol Oxygen Skin Renew Facial Toner;Benzoyl Peroxide Panoyxl Acne Gel. These are the products that I use every morning after shower. The Eskinol Ice Poretherapy leaves a cool minty feeling on your skin.

Same products I use at night but without the Ice Poretherapy. :) Running out of Panoxyl and I want to switch into new Benzoyl Peroxide product maybe Duac will do better for me. I really want to try the Neutrogena Hydro Boost!

ONE PRODUCT THAT I WANT TO BUY IS THIS NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL. Look at the packaging, isn't too decent, luxurious and tempting to buy? Since it's already available in Philippines then I might try to buy one for myself. *daydreaming*

Avocado Mask

Hello,Bloggers!

Last night I finally have decided to do a homemade avocado mask and guess what, I did. We we're just bored last night and I let my sister applied the mashed avocado using a cotton pad on my face. At first, it feels really uncomfortable and you really can feel the thickness of the mashed avocado.

Here's the main ingredient and ready to lay down on my face

Look at my redness on my face and those pimples are killin me! Thank God it has been minimized compared to last month.

Close-up look of my pimples, haha! Who likes pimples anyway?! I DON'T! And oh excuse the eyebags,it's just an award from sleeping late at night.

I've let it stayed for 30mins 1hr and I've noticed that I can already peel them off so I decided to wash my face and you can feel the natural oil from avocado. After washing my face already felt the softness of my face just like a butt of a baby!

Why try Avocado Face Mask? It's because:

Avocado fruit- is one among the exotic fruits and it offers numerous nutritional benefits. It is also good for oily skin which gives deep cleansing and helps in getting rid of the dirt and grime accumulated on the face, it opens up the tiny ducts for cleansing and clearing the dead skin cells and thereby prevents acne breakouts.

Everyday Skin Care Regimen

Each one of us has their own skin care regimen that will help us take good care of our skin, especially for women. And for those whose problem are on acne, well it's not only you who is having a problem with this skin condition.

For me I only use two products after washing my face with Clean & Clear Acne Gel facial wash and my eskinol poretherapy pore minimizer. After using that, I apply my all time fave which are Eskinol Poretherapy Facial Toner and my Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel. These are the only products that I have been using pretty many months eversince I started using it.

Benzoyl Peroxide is an acne gel in which you put a tiny amount on your finger and just dab it on that acne you have. You don't want to drag it all over your face. After you have applied it on your face, it will become dry, which is the good side because it dries out quickly and it heals the redness of your acne looking them flat and less noticeable.It also contains salicylic acid which it is mainly use to treat acne but as of now they are incorporated along with other medicines.

So the other one is my eskinol ice poretherapy facial toner which I also love because it's very cool feeling on your face and it minimizes my pores.

Daily Facial Routine

These are the only skin products that I'm using every single day. it's the Eskinol Ice Poretherapy Toner and Benzoyl Peroxide.I don't use other skin products since I'm on the process of renewing my facial condition. I really hate my skin as of right now maybe because of the weather changes here in Philippines and as we all know my country is known for being the hotspot place. It's not only because of the weather but as well as the environment your staying at especially when your place is easily visited by dust. So as much as possible I'd like to take care of my skin so that it'll go back to the normal skin I had like this picture right here,

it's way too old because this picture was taken 2 years ago during my graduation day. I miss having face like this which you don't have problem to think and what skin products will you use to treat your acne or acne scars.The products that I've been only using are this right here:

as you can see I'm almost done with my Benzoyl Peroxide because I use it 2 times a day and my toner is on it's halfway because I also use it 2 times a day.
