Demystifying Skin Care Myths

With the emergence of so many beauty, skin care products and aesthetic clinics in the country, it is important that we education ourselves on the basics about our skin and how to take care of it. There are, however, a number of myths that are going around about ways to achieve healthy skin. Here are just three of them. 




Myth number one: Antibacterial soap is best for keeping your skin clean. 


Truth: According to Harvard Health Publishing of the Harvard Medical School, the skin normally has bacteria on it. It is impossible to keep your skin completely free of bacteria for any amount of time. In fact, many experts are concerned that the use of anti-bacterial soap could lead to more antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antibacterial soap is not necessary for everyday use. Regular soap is fine. Thorough and consistent hand washing, not anti-bacterial soap, is what helps prevent the spread of infection. 



Myth number two: The higher the SPF of your sunscreen, the better 


Truth: Above a certain level, a higher sun protection factor (SPF) has little added benefit compared with a lower SPF, according to the Harvard Health Publishing of the Harvard Medical School. Experts generally recommend using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks out 97% of UVB radiation. A higher SPF would be more effective if you are planning to be outside for more than two to three hours, especially during hours of peak sun exposure (10 am to 2 pm). But in most circumstances, a higher SPF may not be worth the extra cost. 



Myth number three: Expensive skin care products work best 


Truth: This is simply not true, according to WebMD.Com. Many mass market products are better than expensive ones. Most active ingredients found in anti-aging creams, for example, are similar whether they are sold by a local store or a fancy boutique. Expensive skin care products can be good but you can usually get something similar for a lot less.

ANOTHER WAVE OF RAVE? AZTEC SOAP REVIEW

Hello everyone! :)


As we all know, last year or two years ago, bloggers/vloggers and ordinary people raved the Aztec Indian Healing Clay Mask. I remembered how hard it was just to get a tub. People fell in line for hours, or if you want to escape long lines, you must be willing to spend a thousand (online shop) just to have one.

I was one of those who patronized AND ACTUALLY IS STILL A LOYAL CUSTOMER of Aztec What I love about this product is it helps in drying pimples and it minimizes pores. This is my go to  mask everytime I am having breakout. 

That's why I became excited when I discovered that they released a FACE AND BODY SOAP! :) I've been actually thinking if it is possible to make the mask, a soap. And voila! :)

Want to know my verdict? Watch the detailed review below. :)

50 Pesos for a New Book: National Book Store Blowout + BOOK HAUL

Hello everyone! :) I know for the book lovers out there, it's the Big Bad Wolf Season! :) But we all know that it's also the season of falling in long lines because of the crowd going to this event. Worry no more, National Book Store has something for you! :)



As Arra (Hello friend!) and I were looking for a milk tea shop, our attention was stuck by the 80% Discount Banner of National Bookstore Super branch Cubao (beside Gateway Mall). :) Since we both love books (who doesn't), we hurriedly went inside the store.





It's no joke! They are really on sale! :) You can get up to 80% OFF! :) Popular and new released books also have 20% discount! :) On the other hand, we were disappointed that Filipino books are not on sale. Tsk. Tsk. :)

Here are the books I got! :)
