Zen Zest Eau de Toilette Collection (Men and Women)

I’ll go for Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black.

Green is still my favorite color though.. and I am not talking about colors from the colors I mentioned above… sounds confusing eh?

Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black are the scents that light my olfactory bulb.. I mean scents that I liked from an afternoon of fragrance with Zen Zest. There were 18 EDT displayed on our table (including their collection which will be released this April), 8 bottles for women and 10 for men.. and each bottle has a scent of its own that gives a lasting impression to anyone who’ll smell it. I chose Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black as my top because..

Tangerine (women) reminds me so much of summer.. a season I consider to be the most fun. The whiff of green melon essence on this bottle gives a breeze even on a hot summer afternoon. 

Mulberry (women) is so fresh and smells so fruity. It is something that I can wear everyday!

Teal (for men) is a scent that would make me want to tops whatever I’m doing and just spend an afternoon with my man.. 

Silver is so clean..I love it for that basic reason. 

Black.. is so strong… it radiates confidence..

 

If you’re on the look out for your next EDT purchase, here are the list of ZEN ZEST EAU DE TOILETTE and a short description of each (from Zen Zest.. green- my opinion)

POTW: Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On

A box arrived yesterday containing these:

….perfect timing because I have been thinking what product to feature this Wednesday…as I have mentioned, from time to time I will be featuring products that I think is worth your time..

That’s Garnier PureActive product range: Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On

Garnier PureActive’s breakthrough formula consists of a combination of two powerful acne-fighting ingredients – Purifying Salicylic Acid with proven anti-bacterial properties, and Natural HerbaRepairTM from blueberry extracts, which helps repair and regenerate the skin to prevent scarring. Clinically tested on acne prone skin, the line works immediately on imperfections and delivers multi-action benefits from day one.

 Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On Concentrated with 2%salicylic acid, the new Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll-On immediately dries pimple and reduce acne spots. The revolutionary metal roller-ball immediately helps relieve pimples without having to touch the pimple itself, while its compact size is convenient to carry around your bag.

Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub Enriched with powerful anti-bacterial active with repairing properties and microbeads, the new Garnier Pure Active Scrub actively fights the 6 skin problems so you can say adieu to pimples, whiteheads, oiliness, enlarged pores, impurities and unevenness.

I am lucky.. no.. thanks to my birth control pills, my face is acne free.. but my sister’s face is not that lucky..I guess the acnes that supposed to be on my face landed on hers.. heheh (please don’t tell I said that).. and you know how summer and acne loves each other? PIMPLE OUTBREAK! So I told her to use  Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On for a week and let’s see what happens.

FYI: Garnier PureActive is available in all major supermarkets, department stores and drug stores across the Philippines.

 

Physiogel Hypoallergenic Naturally

I first heard of this Physiogel last May when we toured the GSK plant in Cainta. Didn’t give it much thought about the product, in fact it has been sitting on our counter sink until, well, until I have learned (through my sister) the benefits of using Physiogel.

Last Thursday was Physiogel brand campaign launch at White Space, Makati, had to ask my sister to attend in behalf of me since my 2nd boy and my youngest both have fever. Good thing she was willing to do so. When she got home, she was excited telling me about the benefits of using Physiogel and all that there is in the brand. Good thing she took a lot of photos of teh presentation during the event so I can share it to you what she learned: (OK let’s all learn together, shall we?)

Dr Bernadette B. Arcilla, Dermatology Medical Affairs Director of Stiefel (a GSK Company) gave a short presentation about skin, skin care and of course Physiogel products. 

Skin Care is NOT pampering. It is a basic part of Self care basic hygiene and maintaining the skin barrier. 

The SKIN is the largest organ in the body. It acts as barrier, protecting the body from harsh external conditions. 

  • The EPIDERMIS is the outer layer of the skin, average in thickness about the width of a sharp pencil (<1 mm). Role is to trap the moisture and prevent dry skin. 

Internal Causes of DRY SKIN are :

  • genetics 
  • Aging
  • Hormonal Changes
  • Systemic Diseases

External Causes of Dry Skin are:

  • Chemical Solvents (soaps and detergents, alcohol preparation)
  • Environmental (air conditioning, low humidity/dry weather, wind and sun exposure)
  • Lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, stress)
  • Others (Physical trauma, Drug Side Effects)

What Happens with a defective skin barrier? 

  • may cause itch
  • Increased allergen exposure
  • Increased penetration of irritants
  • Persistent dry skin cycle
  • Increase water loss

Management of BARRIER DEFECT is to apply a cream or lotion similar to skin lipids.
Benefits of moisturizers: Repair of the skin barrier

  • Restore skin lipids
  • Regulate water and Ph Balance
  • Reduce itch and redness
  • repel allergens and irritants

Dry Skin Management:

  1. Identify and address any contributing factors
  2. Gentle Cleansing Routine Proper Use of Moisturizers
    • reduce bathing time
    • use lukewarm water
    • use a soap free cleanser
  3. Proper Use of Moisturizer

Conventional Moisturizers may only temporarily replace skin moisture without repairing the lipid layers of damaged skin.
Soap Free Cleanser: No colorants, mild surfactant, non greasy, non comedogenic, pH similar to skin.
CONCLUDING REMARKS: When we repair and restore the skin lipid barrier with Physiogel: 

  • reduce dryness and itch on skin
  • has long lasting hydration effect

That’s what the presentation is all about (transcribe it from the photos sissy took)
