Previously, I posted my review on Celimax Cica Soothing Cream na super nagustuhan ko as it instantly smoothes and soothes the skin, plus it's extremely lightweight. This time, I'll be sharing with you my experience using a skin care product that I've never tried before - a daily exfoliating toner pad. The Celimax Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad claims to promote a smoother, brighter, clearer complexion by gently exfoliating dead skin cells while offering deep hydration and soothing properties. This pad is basically a toner and exfoliator in one. A convenient product na ideal sa mga kagaya kong prefer ang simpler skin care routine. ●Comes in a nice, tea green twist top plastic jar ●Has a super mild earthy scent ●Has embossed and gauze sides ●Leaves skin feeling smooth and soft ●Gentle and suitable for daily use Before using this product a couple of weeks ago, I had some areas on my skin that feel rough and bumpy. This has definitely helped improve my skin texture - it feels a lot smoother and softer now. Also, each pad does a great job with hydrating and calming my skin. I just wish each pad would be generously saturated with toner but overall, I truly enjoy using these sturdy pre-soaked cotton pads that are super convenient for some gentle physical exfoliation. Each jar contains 60 double-sided pads and retails for P840. If you're interested, you may visit Celimax Philippines on Facebook or follow them at @celimax.philippines on Instagram.

To say that I love using skin care products that would help increase radiance and restore vibrancy to my skin aka skin brightening products is even an understatement. Kung titingnan ninyo mga ka-grocery moms ang aking skincare drawer, you'll see na 60% of the products, majority are facial serums are formulated to give my skin that lit-from-within glow. A lot of us may assume na serums can be very expensive, and yes they can. Pero napatunayan ko rin na with facial serums, hefty price tags don't necessarily mean that these products are more effective. Good thing nowadays, there are a lot of affordable options that can still deliver amazing results. With that said, let me share with you my experience using one of the most affordable serums I've ever tried - iWhite Korea Glow Booster Vitamin C Serum. This product claims to help brighten and smoothen the complexion as it's formulated with rich Vitamin C plus an assortment of skin healthy fruit extracts. ●Comes in a nice plastic tube packaging with a tip applicator ●Has a pleasant, light orange scent ●Has super tiny orange beads that disappear into the skin once applied ●Has a slightly creamy texture ●Absorbs quickly into the skin ●Doesn’t leave a greasy feel ●Leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth I use it morning and night, and it does provide a slight glistening effect right after applying it on the skin. It's also one of the few affordable serums I've tried that does not feel heavy or thick, so it's very comfortable on the skin. I've been using it for a month now, but aside from giving my skin a bright appearance, I still haven't seen any improvement in terms of reducing the look of dark spots. Overall, I still recommend it as an inexpensive serum especially if want to achieve a glowing and smooth skin. Got this online at BeautyMnl for P235.

When it comes to moisturizers mga ka-grocery moms, there are three things I look for; lightweight, hydrating and wouldn't irritate my skin. And these features are present in the newly released product of Celimax, a Korean skincare brand, and much more. This Celimax Cica Soothing Cream is a lightweight hydrating gel-cream which claims to provide intense cooling and soothing for irritated, heated skin. Dalawang linggo ko na syang ginagamit as part of my nighttime routine, so here are my thoughts: ●Comes in a super nice tea green plastic tube with flip-top cap ●Fragrance-free ●Has a soft, nongreasy texture ●Glides on smoothly onto the skin ●Absorbs quickly ●Extremely lightweight ●Leaves the skin feeling hydrated, supple, and smooth This product definitely gives an instant soothing effect on my skin. I also noticed that it helps reduce redness around my nose and improve my skin's texture while also keeping it hydrated. I highly recommend it if you have combination, oily or sensitive skin as this is a lighter moisturizer, plus your skin will benefit from its soothing ingredients. Celimax Cica Soothing Cream is priced at P1,180. If you're interested, you may visit Celimax Philippines on Facebook or follow them at @celimax.philippines on Instagram.
Nabanggit ko na before that aside from having combination skin na may pagka-acne prone din, I also have sensitive skin which doesn’t always go hand in hand with exfoliation. Pero syempre mga ka-grocery moms, since I've been trying to level up my skincare game, hindi ako titigil until I find the best exfoliator for my sensitive skin. This Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash ang isa sa mga na-discover kong gentle exfoliator sa Sephora. It claims to remove impurities and excess oil—without drying—while refining the look of pores for smooth, soft skin. At dahil I've been using it every day for two weeks now, here are my thoughts: ●Comes in an opaque plastic tube with flip-top cap, plus a nice strawberry design along the side. ●Has a delicious strawberry scent ●Comes with very, very fine exfoliating particles which are sugar granules ●Leaves the skin feeling clean and smooth There are a lot of things that I love about this product, bukod sa it's mild enough to be used daily, it combines both the cleansing and exfoliating steps in my skincare routine, plus it's quick and easy to use. This product was also very effective at removing excess oil and dirt. Ang maganda pa is that I can customize the level of exfoliation by using less water for a stronger scrub or more water for a gentler exfoliation. I recommend using this kind of cleanser if you have makeup free skin or if you've got heavy makeup to remove, pwede din naman as a second cleanse. Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash is available at Sephora PH for P980.
Nakaka-excite mag-try ng mga bagong skin care products but at the same time mga ka-grocery moms with so many products on the market, it can be confusing to know when and how often I should be using them or what they're really for. Isa sa mga skin care products na hindi ako masyadong familiar would be - elixir. The only thing I knew then was it's a type of hydration product like serums and moisturizers. It's only until I received Botanical Elixir na sobra akong na-curious what exactly it would do on my skin. Botanical Elixir is a product of SONO, a Philippine-based skincare and lifestyle brand that produces premium quality skin and body care products, made from all-natural ingredients. It claims to calm and renew inflamed and irritated skin, boosts natural radiance and creates an more even tone, while diminishing sun damages, spots and scarring. I have been using this as my sole serum in my nighttime skincare routine for two weeks now. I apply it after cleansing and toning and before moisturizer. ●Comes in a classy, sleek bottle with a dropper ●Has a light, naturally distinct smell ●Has a slightly thicker, more concentrated texture ●Skin instantly looked more luminous immediately after application ●Only 2 drops are enough to cover the full face Because this is an oil-based product, I was worried it might clog my pores or leave my skin feeling greasy, surprisingly this doesn't. Medyo sticky sya when you apply it, but this powerful hydrator melts into the skin quite quickly. I'm also impressed with how it makes my skin appear radiant and less tired, plus I experienced no breakouts. I'm hoping that with continued use, I'll start to see even more improvement lalo na with reducing the appearance of dark spots and acne scars. Botanical Elixir is available at www.sonoskincare.com for P895. You may also visit @sono.skincare here on Instagram or SONO Skincare on Facebook.
Isa rin ako sa maraming makeup wearers na madalas kinakatamarang magtanggal ng makeup especially after a long, tiring day that I just want to snooze in full face makeup. But I also understand mga ka-grocery moms that it's absolutely necessary to remove makeup before going to bed for healthy skin. This is why, I always have makeup remover wipes on hand. Ang issue ko naman with these wipes that I've already tried is that, they can oftentimes dry out my skin. As I was searching for easy, fast, convenient way to remove makeup without stripping and drying out the skin, I discovered Kocostar Waffle Cleansing Pad that I got at LOOK. Here are my thoughts on this product that I've already used several times: ●Has a nice and cute packaging, plus there's a plastic tweezers for lifting the pads out of the jar ●Pads are well moistened ●Has a very subtle and clean smell ●Has an embossed side which effectively cleanses the skin and removes makeup ●Doesn't irritate my skin I'm honestly impressed with these cleansing pads as they remove my makeup, even waterproof ones like my eyeliner and mascara incredibly well with just one pad. I've got to say though that it takes several wipes on the lips especially on long-wearing, matte lipstick until mabura sya completely. I also love that it leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped, and no heavy residue. Bago sa akin ang Korean brand na ito, share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms if meron sa inyo ang nakapag-try na ng iba pang skin care products ng Kocostar.

When it comes to skincare products mga ka-grocery moms, bukod sa Laneige at Dear Klairs, Esfolio Philippines ang isa sa mga naging instant favorite kong Korean beauty brands na recently ko lang na-discover as I was doing my, well - grocery shopping at Puregold! Though I've heard about the brand in the past, it's only months ago na nakapag-try ako ng ilan sa mga products nila when I came across their small display stand inside the supermarket. Dahil may mga nakalagay na BUY 1 TAKE 1 on some of the products, I grabbed myself a few pairs of their sheet masks na sobrang nagustuhan ko especially yung Red Ginseng Essence Mask Sheet at Collagen Essence Mask Sheet na super nakaka-fresh ng face at may pa-brightening and plumping effects din. Not sure kung available ang Esfolio sa lahat ng Puregold stores but took some photos of some products I spotted in the store I went to. Share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms kung nakapag-try na kayo ng any products from this affordable Korean skincare brand.
