Achieving radiant, youthful skin is a universal desire, and with the right skincare regimen, it's more attainable than ever. Enter Gluta-C Intense Whitening Alcohol-Free Toner, a powerhouse product enriched with glutathione and vitamin C. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the benefits of glutathione and vitamin C, and how they work together in this innovative toner to deliver glowing, rejuvenated skin.
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant naturally produced by the body, renowned for its skin-lightening and anti-aging properties. As we age, our glutathione levels decline, leading to dullness and the formation of age spots. Gluta-C Intense Whitening Toner harnesses the power of glutathione to combat these signs of aging, promoting a brighter, more even complexion.
As someone in my late 40s, I've noticed a concerning darkening of my facial skin, with more blemishes (pigmentation) emerging. Thankfully, using Gluta-C Whitening Toner has been instrumental in brightening and evening out my complexion.
Vitamin C is another powerhouse ingredient celebrated for its brightening effects on the skin. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C helps to neutralize free radicals, preventing damage from environmental stressors and promoting collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This toner with vitamin C works synergistically with glutathione to enhance its skin-lightening properties, leaving you with a radiant, luminous glow.
Unlike traditional toners that can be harsh and drying, Gluta-C Intense Whitening Toner features an alcohol-free formula that gently cleanses and tones the skin without stripping away its natural moisture. This makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, ensuring a comfortable and nourishing experience with each use.
In addition to its whitening effects it also offers targeted anti-aging benefits to address fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of skin aging. By infusing the skin with potent antioxidants like glutathione and vitamin C, this toner helps to protect against oxidative stress and promote cell renewal, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion over time.
How to Incorporate Gluta-C Intense Whitening Toner into Your Skincare Routine
To unlock the full benefits of Gluta-C Intense Whitening Toner, incorporate it into your daily skincare routine. After cleansing, apply the toner to your face and neck using a cotton pad, gently sweeping outward in circular motions. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer and sunscreen during the day for added protection against UV damage.
If I hadn't used toner in my early 20s, perhaps my skin would appear duller now. That in my 30s and 40s, I could have experienced severe pigmentation issues. I'm also grateful that genetics have spared me from excessive blemishes or pigmentation too. I attribute much of my skincare knowledge to my mother, who instilled the importance of using toner and sunscreen both indoors and outdoors from a young age.
With its innovative blend of glutathione, vitamin C, and alcohol-free formula, this Whitening Toner is a game-changer in the world of skincare. Whether you're looking to brighten dark spots, combat signs of aging, or simply achieve a more radiant complexion, this toner has you covered. Elevate your skincare routine and unlock the secret to luminous, youthful skin with Gluta-C Intense Whitening Toner today.

This article is originally posted on Proven Skincare.
When it comes to oily skin, the struggle is real. Everyone is after the “dewy glow”, and if you have oily skin, you certainly have an advantage. Oily skin tends to appear dewier (due to excess sebum and active sebaceous glands) and can be more resistant to wrinkling.
However, oily skin can become extreme, leaving you with an embarrassing shine, due to overactive oil production. Oily skin types are more prone to breakouts, inviting inflammation and acne.
Top 3 Oily Skin Causes
- HORMONES
The number one cause of oily skin?Hormones. Hormone levels fluctuate throughout life for all kinds of reasons: puberty, pregnancy, stress, menstruation, dietary changes and age can influence your hormonal levels.
There aren't specific 'oily skin hormones' however hormonal changes will influence sebum production, leading to increased (or decreased) oil in your skin. Oral contraceptives can affect hormones and cause skin breakouts.
- GENETICS
If one (or both) of your parents have oily skin, it’s likely you will, too. Oily skin, as well as other skin conditions, can be passed down through generations, as we can inherit large or dense sebaceous glands from our ancestors. Consult a dermatologist to discuss skin problems and treatment options as well as a skincare routine best suited to your skin and issues.
Educating yourself will help achieve optimal skin health and avoid side effects from over-the-counter products.
- ENVIRONMENT
Relative humidity has an impact on oil production in your skin. During the winter, when relative humidity is low and we often experience dryness from indoor heating, you’ll probably notice a drop in excess oil on the skin surface.
Conversely, when the weather is hot and humid, your skin may feel especially hot and oily, and uncomfortable. This can lead to clogged pores that can then cause blackheads and breakouts.
Cleanse and moisturize diligently during the winter. Try a skincare products collection with an oil-free moisturizing lotion option over a cream, if you prefer a lighter formula.
A daily moisturizer with SPF is the best option for added protection against the environment. Sunscreen is crucial for every skin type.
3 Ways to Prevent Oily Skin
- DIET
While the link between chocolate and acne has been disproven, it’s true that a poor diet can cause oily skin. Diets rich in refined carbohydrates, sugar and dairy can spike your blood sugar and alter your hormone levels. This causes an increase of oil in your skin, and can even lead to breakouts and blemishes. If you want to control your oily skin, eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Try to avoid dairy, but if you must consume it, choose full fat dairy. Low fat dairy tends to be worse for your skin, especially when it comes to oil levels and acne-prone skin.
- CLEANSE GENTLY
It might seem like an extra-foamy cleanser makes sense to control oily skin, but the opposite is true. Over-washing your skin can dry it out, triggering your body to produce even more oil. It’s actually better to use a gentle cleanser and warm water. Look for products without SLS, and without sulfates in general if you can.
Those with oily t-zone areas (oily nose and chin, dry cheeks and forehead) may want to exfoliate with an over-the-counter treatment to remove dead skin cells in these areas. Use sparingly as excess exfoliating and scrubbing will irritate skin and eventually stimulate more oil production.
- USE A TONER
Toners are a great way to help reduce oil, as long as you select one that is gentle. Try to avoid toners that have a lot of alcohol, because these can dry out your skin too much and cause irritation. Look for gentle toners with Salicylic Acid or Tea Tree Oil.
How to Get Rid of Surface Oil on Facial Skin
It takes time to see changes in your skin, even if you implement all of the tips we’ve recommended. If you want to get rid of oil quickly, one of the best solutions is to use blotting papers. These absorb oil naturally without drying out your skin or irritating it and are portable for quick touchups. You can also use mattifying powders or oil-control primers to achieve a matte finish on your skin.
Oily Skin Treatments
Looking for products to control your oily skin long term? Salicylic Acid is an excellent ingredient for oily skin because it is “lipid” friendly. It easily penetrates oil and helps to clean out your pores. It’s also a natural anti-inflammatory, so it tends to be gentle and non-drying.
You can also introduce Retinoids at night, which can reduce sebum production over time and also push healthy, bright skin to the surface. Just be sure to use it sparingly until your skin adjusts, because Retinoids can cause irritation if they’re overused.

There's nothing more disappointing when you buy over the counter acne solutions and acne treatments and waiting to finally have a clear skin and learning there not that good, then you’re not alone.
Thousands of women
are now turning to home solutions because of their lack of side effects and the
availability of whole foods that have healing properties.
A new movement has
come to the fore with the discovery of superfoods. More people now believe in food
being medicine.
Here are few
ingredients readily available in your kitchen that can help combat acne.
1. Banana
Peels
We all know where the banana peel goes after
we’ve eaten the banana. But you can choose to recycle it by rubbing the inner
side all over your face in a circular motion. After leaving it on for twenty
minutes you can rinse it off with an anti-acne facewash. These peels contain an antioxidant called
lutein which is super helpful
for reducing inflammation from acne and boosting cell growth.
1. Strawberries
Strawberries are
rich in salicylic acid, an ingredient in many face washes and scrubs for acne.
Salicylic acid prevents bacterial multiplication, sloughs off the epidermis and
unclogs pores. It also reduces pore size. You can grind a few strawberries with
honey and apply this to the skin. After allowing it to dry, wash it off and do
it twice a month to see results.
2. Papaya
Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that breaks
down pus and reduces the inflammatory process of acne. It also removes excess
oil from the skin without stripping its moisture. Mash up a papaya to a smooth
paste and apply it your skin till it dries. Once dry, wash off your face, with
plain warm water instead of a cleanser as papaya itself is a strong cleanser.
For the very same reason, you may
want to use a moisturizer as soon as you’re done washing your face.
1. Egg
whites
Egg whites are
wonderful for making masks for acne. They remove excess sebum and have vitamins
that the skin can absorb. They can be a multipurpose solution as they can
reduce blemishes and remove blackheads. They are relatively easy to make. Start
with separating the egg yolks and whites. For a thick mask, you may need three
eggs. Whisk the egg whites till frothy and then apply the first layer on your
face, wait for it to dry. Repeat this process to create four layers of this
mask. Once completely dry, wash with warm water. Your skin will feel tight
which can be remedied by a moisturizer. Egg whites are rich in protein and help
your skin repair faster after an acne breakout.
2 Apple
cider vinegar
It has been proven by studies that apple cider vinegar contains organic acids like succinic acid and
lactic acid that can reduce acne scars, suppress
inflammation and kill P. acne bacteria. It is made by fermenting apple juice or
cider. Apple cider vinegar is a strong acid. You will need to dilute it for
your use. Take one part apple cider vinegar and three parts water. Mix well.
Soak a cotton ball in this solution, apply it to your face and let it dry. Wash
it off and repeat it once more in the day. Due to its acidic nature, it will
sting and burn. If you develop a strong reaction to this, wash it off
immediately.
1. Honey
Honey is a natural
antioxidant and has lightening properties, if you have many acne scars then you
can apply honey to your skin as a mask. You may combine this with other healthy
ingredients like lemon juice, cinnamon or avocados which are also great for the
skin. Leave it on till dry and then wash off completely for lighter and blemish
free skin. Repeat this once a week for results.
There are many other kitchen ingredients that
can be used for acne other than the list above. This includes lemons, oranges,
avocados, green tea, sugar, witch hazel, tea tree oil and aloe vera. All of them
can be used to combat acne. Use them over for at least three weeks before you
see any results and tell us if it helped you.

Great hidden gem in Davao! Went with my Social Media colleagues to take advantage of their SPA BUFFET TREAT PROMO and what a pleasant surprise it was!
Villa Cosmetico Essenzialle (VCE) Skin Talk Beauty & Wellness officially opened their business last November 21, 2016. A 100% Filipino-owned company proudly from Davao.
Today, they make a major revamp of their products and services. With their mission in providing their clients an effective services, VCE upgrade their approach on beauty and wellness, carrying their new product name VILLA COSMETICO PREMIUM.
What sets this spa apart from the rest is that everything is natural and organic. It is completely different spa unlike any other, it feature more creative ways of cultivating a healthy and balance lifestyle.
SPA BUFFET TREAT PROMO
I received an invitation from VCE through Ms. Jojie Alcantara, to try their Spa Buffet Treat and I am super happy because I was sore & needed a massage.
SPA BUFFET TREAT is a holistic and relaxing services of your choice for 3 hours only PHp700 per person. Definitely works to get you in relaxation mode.
I went to VCE Skin Talk Beauty & Wellness to experience the Spa Buffet Treat located at Door 1 Annex Bldg., Jocar Complex, Mt.Mayon Street (fronting the old Sampaguita Inn) Davao City.
There is plenty of parking and it's not hard to spot (old office of Aromacology Sensi). The decor is chic and not to all overwhelming for the small-ish space that it occupies.
Stephanie, the one assigned to me was so thoughtful, professional and detailed oriented. She ensured that I am well taken care of. She let me lie down and enjoy the music and just relax.
If I offered information, she responded in kind-and that was it - PERFECT! That's my personal preference and I could not have been happier.
I told her that I need a FULL BODY MASSAGE and in order to have my Spa Buffet Treat package complete I need to add more from their services so I add RELAXING FACIAL.
1.) RELAXING FACIAL
2. ) FULL BODY MASSAGE
I had the pleasure of getting an hour-long moderate full body massage and it was FANTASTIC. It wasn't my first professional massage, but it lived up to all my expectations.
I've had several good massages at different spa, this was right up there with the best! Stephanie used the perfect amount of pressure and as I said before she was really lovely to talk with as well.
I left feeling relaxed and tension-free!
I was laying on my front there was a breathing hole in the massage bed, and honestly it was my first time to see a massage bed with a face hole. The fabric is soft, gentle and easy on sensitive skin that it gives comfort to the clients to allow the face to breath well.
Yes, I know I lack one service (anyway, it's OK) because I cannot have either Pedi & Mani for my nails (need to rest my nails from polish) or Diamond Peel service because I am using Tony Moly FLORIA Brightening Peeling Gel and Waxing is a big NO to me!
Or maybe next time I have to try their RF or Radio Frequency for skin tightening. I've heard good reviews about it and knowing that VCE Skin Talk Beauty & Wellness offer it for PHp350 only.
How long does the treatment session last?
It all depends on your skin type, some will go back for a once a week session. And because each part takes a different amount of time, you should ask about the certain areas you want to undergo procedure. ~ Esther Joy Goc-ong (VCE Head Marketing)
The staff were courteous. The spa is quiet, intimate and inviting with music playing softly.
They served food & drinks after the pampering.
So perfectly relaxing.
Thank you again Ms. Vanessa Mondragon, Ms. Lorena Crowhurst and to my Idol/Mentor Ms. Jojie Alcantara.

Searching for a good skin care product is literally life-changing. As your skin starts to look more youthful, firm and more vibrant - you feel a little glowier on the inside too!
Everyday routine in the morning, when you wake up you need to cleanse, moisturize, and put make up. Do a final check and confidently unleash your flawless face going to work or make yourself as perfect as you want at home.
But at the end of the day when you look yourself at the mirror, it seems like there's all kinds of blemishes and imperfections that weren't there this morning.
In doubt with frustration, after all you go through all the time and effort you've given just to discover your skin betrayed you by revealing all kinds of skin flaws.
Remember how fluid works to our body, especially with our skin in the morning? Well, it really team up with our skin, they pulled fluid away making wrinkles, eye circles and sagging more obvious and visible.
PROBLEM: WRINKLES
SOLUTION: Moisturize & Hydrate your skin. It will have a plumping effect which is good because it will smooth fine lines and make your skin more supple and firm.
PROBLEM: PUFFY EYES, DARK CIRCLES, FINE LINES & WRINKLES surrounding the eye area.
SOLUTION: Beside getting enough sleep of 7 to 8 hours every night, you can also use serum and/or DAY & NIGHT CREAM to lock in moisture, brighten & lighten dark eyes and smooth away fine lines.
PROBLEM: OILY SKIN. I have a combo skin type, which mean that my skin is oily, has a larger pores, or breaks in my T-Zone area (forehead, nose, chin) but dry or normal on cheeks and jawline.
SOLUTION: I use cleanser and toner. I stop using astringents (because most of astringents have alcohol-based which are too drying). And I used moisturizer formulated for oil control. And, make best friends with blotting papers for quick skin refresh.
PROBLEM: Makeup easily disappearing and complexion gets dull. Blemishes are reappearing as day goes on. My skin seems like to loses the morning tone and become more blotchy by the day end. I stop putting makeup because I found it too unfair that by the midday it has no effect and sometimes redness appear to my face and become inflamed by things I encounter throughout the day such as heat, weather, stress, sweat, in short my skin got too sensitive.
SOLUTION: I use skin care products that are made for sensitive skin. I exfoliate my skin 2-3 times per week unless otherwise directed. Just to clean dirty and old skin and keep skin fresh and even. And the best way to protect my skin when I go out is to wear SPF to avoid skin dullness.
There's no reason you shouldn't look fresh in the morning even at the end of the day! Hurray to the Filipina Skin Care Products made by BeautéDerm Philippines.

This time I'm going to share another DIY beauty regimen that I am pretty sure your gonna love it!
As I promise, that I will post about DIY BROWN SPOT TREATMENT. I am not sure if you have tried this and it does not work, I suggest repeating this will help you convince once more that this regimen is really effective.
Asian women are known for their delicate BEAUTY, SMOOTH and having that FAIR SKIN. Right? That is why I am so in touch with the ORIENT WAY of SKIN LIGHTENING having it NATURAL or TRADITIONAL beauty regimen.
One of these remedies that I just discovered and used for almost a month now is the RICE POWDER and RICE WATER. Really effective? Find our for yourself.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS RICE POWDER FOR SKIN LIGHTENING?
- Rice contains a high concentration of Para AminoBenzoic Acid(PABA). This is good as SUN SCREEN.
 |
| more info: WEBMD |
- Rice also contains two other sun protecting agents:
(1) FERULIC ACID - an antioxidant that when added with the solution of Vit. C and E will doubles its PHOTOPROTECTION of our skin.
(2) ALLANTOIN - a good inflammatory agent. It soothes sun burns and help promotes skin repair.
- Another thing here as a rice paste applied to your skin, rice powder has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase. TYROSINASE an oxidase that is rate -limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin.
- 1 cup of Uncooked Rice. Grind using a coffee grinder. Or you can buy a ready made rice powder.
- Add evaporated milk. Enough just to make a paste.
- Apply the paste over your face and neck. Leave for 20-30 minutes.
- Wash it with warm water.
- Do this consistently at least twice a week until your skin lighten.
DIY RICE WATER TONER for SKIN LIGHTENING
Want to have that fair and more translucent skin? By washing your face with rice water you can achieve that, not dramatically but you will see the result within a month.
So easy to do, if you are planning to cook the
rice for you meal, do this:
- Put the rice in a rice cooker bowl. Wash and clean the rice.
- Second washing of the rice, it should look pretty cloudy.
- Drain this water to another bowl.
- Be sure that you already EXFOLIATE your skin with scrub or wash cloth, so that the rice water will be absorbed well. Splash the "RICE Water" over your face as your toner.
- Do not towel dry after washing. Leave it damp to air-dry on its own.
- Result depends on how you do it. Much better to do this steps twice a week and you will see the result after a month.
Rice Water is SAFE to use. The Ferulic Acid in rice is not a strong acid. However, about skin sensitivity issue just use your own judgement after all everyone has different skin types.
*If you still have a left over rice water (unused), keep refrigerate
