Fun Under the Sun with Nivea

  • Posted on May 13, 2011 at 12:56 pm

With our Davao and Surigao trip wrapped up, we are now getting set for a yet exciting summer trip to Bohol and have fun under the Sun with Nivea. I received a handful of Nivea products just before we left for Davao but won’t get to try it until we bask under the Bohol sun.

What got me really interested with Nivea’s Sun Care products is its “no waiting time” capability. While most sun care products in the market require for us to wait from 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure, Nivea made it a tad instant. This can mean a great deal for a mom like me. With a kid who is ready to jump out the sun half way before his body is slathered with sunscreen, I need not worry about him being exposed to the sun “too soon.”

Neutrogena Healthy Summer Skin Bloggers Event at Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club

  • Posted on April 18, 2010 at 3:29 pm

Last Friday, April 16, 2010, Kikay Corner set off with 11 other beauty bloggers to Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club for the Neutrogena Healthy Summer Skin Bloggers Event. It cannot be more fitting to talk about healthy skin in a place where people flock to during the summer season – the beach!

I learned a bunch during the event. One learning that I was able to bring home with me is the importance of seeing a PDS accredited dermatologist. Now, I was never a fan of any of those one stop beauty shops that offer facials and all the other beauty treatments. I never had a major skin issue all my life. But that is not so for many of the girls I know and the truth of the matter is, those one stop beauty shops that claim to make you look prettier entice a whole bunch of ladies out there. From the pre-teeners to adults. And it is not surprising that people flock these establishments. They offer treatments with lower tags attached to them as opposed to having to go to a legitimate PDS accredited dermatologist that’s can cost a little pricier.

Beach Hut Max 75++ is okay

  • Posted on July 16, 2009 at 4:35 pm

beach-hut-max75-kikaycorner-dot-netKikay Corner just tried Beach Hut Max 75++ Clear Spray Sunblock and is pretty happy with it. As reported, with the sheer disappointment Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF55+ has given me, there is no way I am ever going to touch another tube of the same brand again. On our way to Club Manila East two weeks ago, I dropped by Shopwise to get a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic SPF70. When I found none, I grabbed the next sunblock with highest broad spectrum protection.

Beach Hut Max 75++ is okay. Although I have to mention that I did not stay in the pool very long and the weather was rather gloomy. The sun was almost always hiding behind pillows of clouds. The good thing about it is it did not burn my skin. I was in the pool 3 hours give or take.

What you will love about Beach Hut Max 75++..

.. broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection, so you are covered for hours and hours.
.. sweat and water proof. These are very important for sunblock lotions, otherwise protection is just so limited. Why bother to sunblock at all if these two don’t go with the bottle?
.. never messy. It does not even have to touch your hands. No gooey anything to spread all over your body. It is ever so convenient. Definitely no staining and no white gunk you get from your regular sunblock.
