Product Review: Fight Melasma + Prevent Dark Spots with PYNOCARE!

One important thing that most people neglect or don’t give much attention to is their SKIN. I myself feel guilty because up until now, I still forget to apply sunblock often. If you are not aware, wearing sunblock or sunscreen is important because it helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays which could lead to sunburn, discoloration, dark spots, or even cancer. One common skin condition that a lot of men & women suffer from is MELASMA. Good thing that there is now a natural oral treatment with sensible sun protection that helps combat pigmentation at its roots! Read on to know more…

Product Review: Snow Crystal White Tomato w/ Natural Sunscreen

A lot of people have questioned my love for glutathione telling me I have no need for it because I already have an amazing, natural tan which a lot of people would kill for, and wishing for anything otherwise would be a sin. Guys, it is not in my plan to be as white as Snow White. Promise. Cross my heart. I use glutathione or whitening products to even out my skin tone, make it more luminous & radiant AND the best part? Its health benefits!  Did you know that it’s one of the most powerful antioxidants?  If you’re an “occasional” (keep telling yourself that Pax! Haha) drinker like me, glutathione could help protect and repair the liver! And with all the skin whitening and food supplements being sold and marketed, I’m sure you’ve asked yourself countless times, “Which one really delivers and which one to buy?!” Now here’s something that might top your list: SNOW CRYSTAL WHITE TOMATO with Natural Sunscreen (wow!!!) from well-known company Vida Nutriscience! Why? Read on to know more!

DAYLONG: Everyday Sun Protection in the City

Summer's officially here and I can literally feel the sun's rays going through my skin (and making serious damage) whenever I'm out these past few days. Experts say that using sunscreen daily is a must and I have always taken that for granted. You know, selective amnesia. I thought, I'm using moisturizer naman so no need na siguro. But no!!! I started to really believe it's necessity & importance when I saw this random video online. I really wish I've seen this years ago. Here's a screenshot from the video of what sunscreen looks like under UV light...

It's like this awesome black grease of protection for our skin!

Watch the complete video here. It's scary & very educational. You'd want to cuddle with your skin after and shower it with flowers & apologies for not taking care of it sooner. Heh.

See what I mean??? The sun could damage your skin from ANYWHERE! You could run, but you could never hide ang drama. Haha. Doesn't matter if you're in the house or you're just walking in the park under the shade of giant trees. UV rays are everywhere. Those sneaky bitchezzz. 

And because I now know the important of sunscreen & sun protection, without hesitation, I went to the DAYLONG (from the makers of Cetaphil) launch a week ago to know more about this amazing product & to further educate myself about sunscreen & the city...

 Lovely set-up!

The trusted makers of Cetaphil launched Daylong to provide clinically-proven protection against the sun, all the way to the cellular and DNA level. With a state-of-the-art formula that has a uniquely light texture and a smooth finish, this Swiss brand successfully conveys its message for daily, deep, and complete solar defense.

 Dr. Daisy Ismael, President of the Philippine Dermatological Society

Staying true to its commitment of caring for the skin, whether the sun is out or not, Daylong conducted a study to reveal that the sun exposure in the city has the same intensity as at the beach. Using sun sensors that can detect UV radiation, Daylong has shown that the UV radiation in the city of Manila reaches the same level as on the beaches of Boracay. OMG. 

“The concept of the study was to support our advocacy for daily sunscreen wear. Daylong is new in the game, but this is how we want to make an impact – by undertaking a responsibility to provide daily sun care and protection that works even on a cellular level.” explains Jon Lee, Brand Manager of Daylong.

DAYLONG also launched & introduced their new ambassadors, five influential women, whose schedules are immersed in city-living lifestyles. Each of them has a different role: student, blogger, runner, host and writer, and mother – but each shares the interest of balancing happy and successful lives.

These multi-faceted women are student and FOX Sports Asia courtside reporter, Janeena Chan; stylish mommy blogger who works on a 24-hour duty for 2 children, Jackie Go; the triathlete mom known as The Bull Runner who is a health and fitness inspiration to everyone, Jaymie Pizzaro; in-demand beauty blogger and owner of Catwalk Cosmetics and Wigs, Marj Sia; and lifestyle show writer and host, Marie Lozano.

Sunscreen should not only shield skin from sunburn but should also protect against premature aging, sagging, and even cell and DNA damage that may lead to cancer. Daylong provides high protection against the harmful effects of UVA, UVB, and IR down to a cellular and DNA level.

 Nikko and I love Daylong!

I was able to try the Daylong light gel under my makeup. It's a little heavy at first but after a few minutes it eventually settled and you could barely feel or see it anymore. :) Now, wearing sunscreen is no longer restricted to beach trips! Daylong is perfect for girls on the go, like me. :)

Daylong’s commitment to daily sun care can be viewed online at www.Daylong.ph, and on Daylong Philippines’ social media pages: DaylongPH on Facebook and @DaylongPH on Twitter and Instagram. 

The Coolest Sunblock in Town: SUNPLAY's SPF 130!

Finally! HALLELUJAH! A sunblock with the highest sun protection is now out in the market! I'm seriously doing the happy dance. You all know how I hate the sun coz I get dark within 5 minutes of sun exposure. I'm sure you all know how harmful the sun's rays are to our skin. It could cause great damage on our skin causing wrinkles, freckles, sun burn, skin inflammation or even cancer (yikes!). So I'm happy to share with you guys my latest sunblock discovery--SUNPLAY!!! 

Sunplay originated from Japan and offers SPF 130, the highest in the market. I've seen SPF50 or 75 but never 130! So imagine my excitement when I received these in the mail....

It's waterbased, so it's not sticky or it doesn't feel heavy when applied. I love!

 

Extra skin protection!

Different SPFs for your liking!

Used it at our mini swimming party at Sarah's condo last Saturday. Love it!

They also have an ongoing contest/promotion! Head over to SUNPLAY's facebook page for more info:)

SUNPLAY is available at Watsons & SM Department Store:)
