Winter brings me a lot of trouble thalaga!
My lips are chapped – as in chapped na chaffed every day! My lips dry up and peel (feel) like snake’s skin (as in everyday) and they look so gross and unatractive … Buffing and exfoliating lang ang katapat and this requires a good lip conditioner afterwards. What I find very helpful and effective over the years is Blistex. I have tried all sort of lip conditioners and cheapy lip balms (including L’Occitana shea butter which I really hate) but this is the only one I find really working for me. And it also contains SPF 20. I love the minty flavor pa. Oh Blistex … akin ka!
The winds also bring a lot of allergens – and when I go out – I usually end up having very red itchy eyes, which is really annoying! And then my headaches start!
The only thing I found very effective to stop this allergy is to have two shots of Visine Allergy eye drops. Very powerful and effective sha! Try mo!
Recently I discovered this product that you can use for anything – like skin rashes, allergies, insect bites and is also good as lip conditioner. Pwedi rin sigurong lubricant … if you know what i mean. Lucas Papaw Ointment ! Fermented papaya with potassium sorbate. This relieves and cleanses. Disinfectant sha! Feel mo … soofth to touch pa! And your skin absorbs it so kwik!
I am beginning to love and appreciate this product which is cheap and locally made. So pasok na pasok in my bag!
But the most important power that I always keep in my bag is this – White Flowers.
When you get dizzy (from hardwork) or having any body pains etc. subok na subok ito ever !!! Boy Abunda also keeps this in his purse.
The only thing is that the smell is so strong everybody would faint if they go near you!
Kili kili Power talaga !!1
Oh Kayo… share naman your super powers secrets …
Anyway, this is Lola Sarah Geronimo’s new secret – - – > Watch nyo!
hay, production number talaga ang winter.
i have tried blistex as well, wagi sya. mas effective sya kaysa sa ibang expensive brands.
my skin gets dry as well during winter. heto ang solusyon ng derma sa england kapag sobrang lamig na: after shower (i used oilatum soap), apply a thin coat of eucerin lotion for extra super mega-dry skin. wagi sya.
lastly, keep your room hydrated. dahil harsh ang heater, i put water in bowls or vases around the room para hindi humid ang kwarto.
heto lang po ang aking pasyon and beauty tips!
Hi Gibs
Salamat sa beauty tips….ma try nga oilatume soap na yan! not sure kung meron dito nyan… i will check!
ay salamat sa mga tips … problema ko rin ito pag winter. pero dine-dedma ko lang madalas. hehe
In my bag all the time if traveling in cold places :
1. Lip balm by Body Shop, Clinique or Burt’s Bees
2. Cetaphil Ointment – cleanser, moisturizer, non-comedogenic, no scent and lubricant na rin (and you KNOW what I mean). Used in new born babies by hospitals, so you know it’s for very sensitive skin like moi. You can just put in your face, wipe it with tissue or wash away with water.
3. Cashmere stuff by Prada or Martin Margiela.
Cetaphil works for me too although Gibo’s Lab Series helps a lot in rejuvenating and hydrating my skin.
For lips so dry, a bottle of water nearby helps. I sip every now and then. When I was in Canada, Vaseline lip balm helped.
As for the dry skin, Neutrogena Body Oil works for me. Oilatume soap, matry nga yan.
Si Jericho/Aa, deadma naman yan sa byuti regimen nya. Che-ka!
wagi ang patutuo ni kiks. zebrang wagi naman talaga ng lab series products. if there is one product i cannot live without, lab series ito.
the only downside is, madugo sa bulsa ang lab series. lecheng mga pantapal sa mukha na ito, noong unang panahon, eskinol lang keri na!
@ AARON – kailangan !!!
@ FUSCHIA – Cashmere stuff is good1
@ KIKS – Yeah, Cethapil and Lab Series too.
@ GIBO – Matry nga ito!
