We are, unfortunately, what we eat, so before you go crazy with detoxifying skin care products after a month of nonstop holiday indulgence, try cutting back on your diet a bit. Your skin will reward you if you make an effort to make your dishes look more colorful than neutral beige.
I find that drinking juice made from fruits and vegetables is the most effective way for me to cleanse my body. However, because I have GERD, tomatoes are not on my list of acceptable food to eat.
In addition, it's important to replenish by drinking eight glasses of water.
The vibrations smooth out wrinkles and tighten sagging skin, which are both signs of aging, and promote healthy, radiant skin. The massager acupuncture pen features three distinct types of massage heads, including a dome, a spheroidal, and a node type. These massage heads were created to be utilized in various locations on the body to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals.
When the holiday celebrations are over, how do you like to relax and pamper your skin? Do share!

I really have the hardest time in putting false lashes, that's one of my irksome shame in makeup. I've done lash extensions and lash lifts, but as for the false lash strips, my skill level is just there. I'm not a beauty guru, but I love putting makeup on my face, for me, it's a satisfaction especially if you put false lashes perfectly!
DISCLAIMER: This is not a paid or sponsored post, this is based on my personal use of the product.
My usual routine in putting lashes and over the years I've tried it, I failed! Especially when you apply the lash glue, it's a complete mess.
I'm so happy that POLLY LASHES introduce ADHESIVE PEN LINER in the market. And as a Beauty Product Reviewer Blogger, I just can't settle for janky-looking falsies. I love to look for natural, dramatic lashes, but extensions are tedious and look expensive. Something that you are living in a luxury lash lifestyle, but budget-friendly.
I bought the product for P499 only. FREE Shipping Fee.
ACTUAL PRICE: ₱899+
💜 1 SET/KIT
✅ 3 Lashes (reusable up to 20x each pair)
✅ 1 Tweezer
✅ 1 Adhesive Eyeliner
As soon as my product delivered, I used it immediately. Honestly, I'm curious because I read so many product reviews regarding Polly Lashes and all are positive reviews.
So, here's my review for Polly Lashes.
Natural Look Lashes
Extra Full Length Lashes
Wearing fake lashes is like a love/hate relationship and that was before. Now, I really have the hardest time because when you start wearing it and you know how to do it alone, you start to look naked without them — like your eyes without mascara, or your ears without earrings. False eyelashes are just so much fun, and thanks to POLLY LASHES they pull the entire package, the good pair of lashes (that depends on your mood) and the best adhesive pen liner that helps your eyes look bigger, seductive and picture perfect.

Looking back on how Filipinos proved to be the guiding light in time of COVID and what’s next for a community rebuilding the society through helping each other.
#BeTheLight
SkinWhite, a pioneering whitening brand stood out by bringing light not just to whiten skin but to bring the light of hope to everyone through its #BeTheLight campaign. This envisioned to champion togetherness with everyone, either by group or individual, to be the beacons of light in these trying times.
#BeTheLight campaign supported the good causes of several individuals and organizations through donation.
Chosen individuals are as follows:
- Marielle Solomon of Siargao Community Kitchen which aided more than 4,000 families in their community and neighboring barangays
- Barangay Holy Spirit PWD Association’s president Sarah dela Rosa whose efforts were recognized even outside their area.
- Pia Alviola of Project Love who was able to donate more than 2,000 protective equipment to frontliners.
- Melissa Olit of Aiza’s Community Kitchen reached more than 15,000 beneficiaries.
- Angela Lapinosa’s team for RiceAboveCovid, were able to provide more than 300 help packages.
SkinWhite also reached out to several organizations to work together to #BeTheLight to more people across the country. These organizations were Save San Roque Alliance, an organization that provided meals to families in Sitio San Roque, North Triangle, Quezon City, #SilogForACause, a group who prepared silog meals for frontliners and volunteers, Tulong Kabataan Volunteer Network, bikers turned donors of Life Cycles PH, FoodTray2Go, Act as One PH, Juan Spark Youth Leaders, and Project PEARLS (Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, and Smiles) who have put smiles on children’s faces amidst the pandemic and the discomfort caused by the enforced quarantine. SkinWhite amplified their efforts by sharing their stories nationwide through social media with the hope that many people will be inspired to join in their causes.
Aside from individuals and organizations, the light also transcended to SkinWhite’s trade partners. The brand’s display rental fees were converted to augment the needs of each of the participating store’s dedicated frontliner employees. Relief packages including essential goods and SkinWhite products were prepared and given to them. Through this, SkinWhite and its trade partners were the light that gave these hardworking frontliner employees more encouragement and motivation during these hard times.
Everyone can share the light, and #BeTheLight.
As the #BeTheLight initiative heralds the value of working hand-in-hand, SkinWhite creatively thought of more ways to have more people on board in the mission to share the light. Different people were asked to write and send words of encouragement and appreciation to our kind-hearted volunteers and frontliners. This is to make them feel that they are not alone in this fight and that they are truly appreciated! These personal messages were included on the daily essential packages which SkinWhite prepared for them.
#BeTheLight aims to have brighter days ahead for everyone
#BeTheLight campaign proved that by coming together, significant and brighter results are sure to radiate among communities and neighborhoods. And just like light, it continues to transcend to everyone. This initiative is a reminder of hope, not only for frontliners, volunteers, and those affected by the pandemic, but for everyone who needs hope as we all bounce back from these trying times.
Now more than ever, SkinWhite will continue to #BeTheLight by giving hope and encouragement to more individuals and organizations to continue on with the cause to bring brighter days ahead!

I'm in my early forties and looking at my skin as it age is very different, like pampering your skin with cleanser and moisturizer day & night will not banished wrinkles and pigmentation but it helps my skin feels smoother and healthier. That's why I am still wondering: What else should I be doing?
As it turns out, that a good skin routine doesn't need to be expensive with a long term engagement. As, what Ms. Maria Cristy Ganabe have told us during The Cellin Product launching held at Marco Polo.
Skincare doesn't have to be complicated. The right essentials are: Wash your face as needed, moisturize as needed and use the right product, the newest Science on Skin Care and that's The Cellin.
THE CELLIN
One of the premium cosmetic product in Korea is available now here in Davao. THE CELLIN is a skin science beauty product that makes your skin beautiful and it has a high-class anti-aging formula called CellinBio, an antibiotic/anti-inflammatory peptide materials that helps to restore your troubled skin care.
It is the best products that deal with specific concerns, like acne or aging.
If you have issues like eczema, rosacea, or severe acne, it's best to use their Real HONEY SOAP highly-recommended.
![]() |
| Made from a real honey ingredients! |
I already use this soap - tried and tested. I love the result! Hypoallergenic that suited for all skin type. It has a moisturizing and whitening effect. Recommended for babies and all ages. And can be used by pregnant moms too.
They also have VITA Therapy Mask and DENTAL CARE TOOTHPASTE.
WASH YOUR FACE with HONEY SOAP
Good old fashioned soap is good at this job - too good to be true. In fact, it can strip away too much of our natural oils, so you're best off is to used a cleanser that sometimes hurt your sensitive skin.
There's no strict rule on how often to wash your face, but with honey soap you can used it everyday because it is safe to use, hypoallergenic and all natural ingredients.
You don't need any special equipment to wash: just splash your face with water, massage using the Honey Soap foam on your fingertips then rinse.
MOISTURIZE with VITA THERAPY MASK
Just as the name implies - VITA being beautiful. And to have that VITA factor you better have a good skin., so need to moisturize (means keep water in your skin). This is very important because everything works when our skin has enough water.
Most of us should moisturize twice a day, because we are living in a tropical country. VITA THERAPY MASK help moist and brighten up your skin.
Skin cells will naturally exfoliate and your skin will be better, especially if you have skin conditions from eczema to acne that tends to flare up when skin is dry and settle down when skin is well moisturized.
LEARN MORE about your TOOTHPASTE
As we head out on our skincare journey, let's tackle also our teeth and gum problems. Right now, competing companies want to sell their products with a grandeus promotions and advertisements, researchers are often funded and publications that talk about beauty and skincare get more clicks when they talk about it on a social media on how exciting the product is. Well, how about dental care?
For the rest of us, well it's easy to be amazed with excitement. Maybe that product really worked for someone else. Honestly, I haven't use all THE CELLIN product yet, but the one they gave us during the launch really have a great impact to me as a consumer, especially the DENTAL CARE TOOTHPASTE.
What I've been missing all my life???!!! It's just that I am greatly overwhelmed with the information I've read with this product.
This toothpaste has a BLUE CODE STRIPE meaning the formula and ingredients used are all NATURAL and MEDICINE. And perhaps it is, but let's not discuss about the color stripes here. We consumers are responsible in checking ingredients and fine print to see if they really have what you need for your dental care.
All in all, I am happy to be part of the launching of Korea's skin care product by NRCommunications.
Special thanks to Ms. Anne Arroyo, Mrs. Philippines Asia Pacific Cellin Ambassadress 2019 for the invitation to the Davao Digital Influencers.

VCE Premium Product Set - PHp1,252.00
A facial spa session happened 3 weeks ago, and I'm so privilege to try their Premium Products.
I was given two of their premium products, ABSORB & LUMINOUS to try at home.
PRODUCT REVIEW
Whether we're dealing with stressed-out skin and breakouts, face masks have become a go-to resource to deal with our skincare struggles.
There so many variety of face masks out there, but always be careful to choose the types that tailor to your specific needs.
VCE give me ABSORB.
What I like about this product is it can be use as a facial scrub and at the same time a facial mask. So there's no need to start stressing yourself out about the specifics. Besides, we all know how stress affect our skin!
You know the beauty ritual if you want your skin to be healthy and glowing. And as I said, going to spa or esthetician for a professional facial can be expensive. Fortunately, you can get the same benefits and results by exfoliating, steaming and facial mask at home using VCE Premium Products.
First, it's important to start with a clean face before exfoliate. Make sure you wash your face with a warm water and massage a cleanser that fits your skin type. Then rinse with lukewarm water.
Then just pat your face with a clean towel, but not necessarily to make it dry.
Apply ABSORB as a facial scrub, just put a small amount of water and gently rub it over your face. Massage it into your skin in upward circular motions for about 15-30 seconds. Pay attention to areas where the skin is especially rough, dry, or prone to clogged pores.
After massaging your face with a facial scrub, splash your face with warm water. Make sure to remove residue before patting your face with dry clean towel.
If you want to exfoliate without steaming and using a mask, follow up the scrub with a serum and/or moisturizer.
ABSORB as a facial mask, same as with your cleanser, it's very important to choose a face mask that suits your skin type.
Absorb is an organic charcoal clay like type mask, suitable for any type of skin that gently remove excess oil, treat acne, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin.
Let it try for 15-20 minutes. Wash the masks off with warm water and pat dry. You can also use a dampen washcloth to remove it, since Absorb is a clay type mask. And use a clean towel to pat your face dry.
Facial Masks works gently by removing the outermost layer of your skin to relieve dullness and dead skin. This produces a smoother skin texture, and it can also help balance out pigmentation.
ABSORB is organic mask it has vitamin, plant-based and formulated with charcoal, antioxidants and botanicals. These are the key ingredients works together to reveal the glow complexion that we all crave!
It's time to get facemask-friendly using organic VCE ABSORB.
Another product given to me by VCE is LUMINOUS.
After you removed the mask, splash your face with cool water and dry it. Apply Luminous as your moisturizer (it can also be your primer) .
You can use a toner before you apply the moisturizer if you want.
Finally, a beauty brand VCE recognize this by incorporating primers into their products. Good news for us especially working mothers always on the go, considering we don't have time to prime before we primp.
Luminous is a moisturizer that leaves a great dewy but semi-matte texture that's perfect for absorbing any makeup.
The answer to the moisturizing primer that absorbs excess sebum, reduces shine and moisturizes with botanical ingredients - perfectly moisturized primed base.
I highly recommend this product. It also has a brightening effect and anti-pollution agent.
I have a lot of pigmentation on my face. My children tease me sometimes that I have a lot of freckles. Hope as I religiously use Absorb & Luminous it can help me eliminate small pigmentation on my face.
NOTE: If you have a very, very sensitive skin you can feel a sizzling sensation (tingling or pricking of the skin) but tolerable.
