It’s rainy season once again. More than any time of the year, this is when we would rather stay indoors than get drenched by the rain, or worse, stuck in the metro flood.
Truth be told, most of us, if not all, have to deal with unpleasant warts, whether they’re on our faces, or in random parts of the body.
After years of practically being a hermit, stuck with a non-flexi time with my most recent work-from-home employer, paired with homeschooling, it was next to impossible to squeeze in a “me time”, let alone a time to visit skin care clinics to get some much needed treatments. With my contract ending with the said online client, almost a couple of years in, and as we officially signed off homeschooling (Hello Philippine Science HS!), I recently was able to check out Stelton Dermascience, located in the new mall right smack Makati Medical Center – Ayala North Exchange Mall.
It’s been a great while, and it feels sooo good to indulge my tired momma skin! 💁🏻♀️
And because it’s been a while since I last had any treatment done, I didn’t know where to start! Haha! But when I was asked what bothers me most when it comes to my skin, I had to blurt out without hesitation that it’s the sunspots that have awfully overstayed atop my left cheekbone. Waving hello to fellow drivers, who get that part of face exposed to the sun! I had it chemically peeled a decade back, had a series of laser treatments done on it. Sure, they lightened – but the spots surfaced right back up with babies in tow. Waaah!!! What’s a girl to do?

My most recent beauty encounter in Latisha Niacinamide Vitamin B3 5% Serum could not have been more timely. After having gotten used to being pimple-free for most of my life, I found myself struggling with pimples since we traveled to the states late last year, and has continued on until now.
The culprit could be anything from hormonal fluctuation, to change of weather, or whatever else really. The only thing I am sure of is it’s wreaking such ugly havoc to my otherwise used-to-be pimple-free canvas. This is why I cannot be more thankful that I have encountered Latisha Niacinamide Serum before I am able to squeeze time to see my dermatologist.
Niacinamide is found in vitamin B3 and is also known as nicotinic acid. It is proven to be an effective skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for aging skin. Niacinamide also addresses other skin issues as it helps improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface. Niacinamide can also mitigate the damage environmental attack can cause, and is stable in the presence of heat and light.
Latisha Niacinamide Serum Ingredients:
Niacinamide – is an active, water-soluble form of vitamin B3, It is one of the essential vitamins our body and skin need and aren’t able to produce themselves.
Hyaluronic Acid – a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging. In fact, hyaluronic acid has been promoted as a “fountain of youth.
Glycerin – used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations.
Aloe Vera Extracts – the useful parts of aloe are the gel and latex. The gel is obtained from the cells in the center of the leaf; and the latex is obtained from the cells just beneath the leaf skin.
I’m not going to get ahead of myself and conclude that this is the very best for one’s pimple issue straight away. Because the truth of the matter is, skin compatibility should always be considered. One product that can work for Jane, does not automatically mean it will also work the same way with the next girl. As for me, I was naturally drawn towards Latisha serum’s natural ingredients, and I’m glad I gave it a shot.
I mostly pump the serum directly on my forehead, and spread away to my entire face. A single pump goes a long way. I also make sure to not neglect my neck. A smooth neck happens to go well with a well-improved facial canvas, yes?
I wasn’t kidding when I said I was pimple-faced since end of 2018 – it’s so bad I felt like puberty throwing vengeance at me for skipping this ordeal when it should’ve. Ack!
I have never had to deal with pimples this bad growing up! It baffles me to this day. But I’m grateful that Latisha Serum was plenty instrumental in improving those angry cystic pimples that growl at me whenever I look at the mirror! Yikes! But boy am I thankful for good BB/CC/DD creams that have allowed for me to step out of the house without these bumps being as conspicuous. But I’d rather have a clean canvas to work with – like I used to.
Every day that the pimples tame down, I would be so thrilled. Now that I’ve seen for myself how Latisha works with pimples, I’m looking forward to sharing with you some dramatic improvements when Latisha serum is used for wrinkles. I recently had my mom try the product out, will get this post updated then! 🙂
As good as the Latisha serum has addressed my pimples, it’s hard not to notice how the sun spots on my left cheekbone have lightened a great deal. Right? I know! I was too zeroed in on my pimple bumps that I have almost missed that.
For those reasons alone – pimple issue and sun spots getting addressed, I’m totally vouching for Latisha serum.
If you have tried everything else, this is worth giving a shot. A 60 ml bottle will only take you back P750. A pump goes a long way! It’s very economical, especially because it spreads out easily. I mostly use just one pump for my entire face.
If you happen to have tried Latisha for yourself, let me know how it fares, yes? We girls love our canvas to be clean and flawless. Thanks to products that are naturally derived like Latisha, we don’t need to stuff our system with toxic chemicals to keep pimples, sun spots, and fine lines at bay.
In this day and age, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life, but these three professionals share their secret to making the most of their time and staying on top of the game.
For 22-year old Pauline Del Rosario, it’s self-care. “As a real estate agent, I’m always on the go,” she says. “I don’t have a lot of time in the morning to prep myself up before I face potential buyers. But I know I need to face them with confidence knowing how it can help me close a sale! Good thing there’s SkinWhite PowerWhitening Lotion. All I need is just a few drops to make my skin instantly whit, making me feel more self-assured. What’s more, I don’t have to worry about the harmful sun rays because my skin gets a big dose of SPF 20 throughout the day”. (more…)
After having tried a handful of skin care supplements, I have come to experience for myself the difference of the collagen drink HyC 150. The Hyaluron, Collagen, and Ubiquinol combination that other collagen supplements don’t have, might just be the winning combination. I have long put away the belief that supplements like this has everything to do with vanity. This, after experiencing the incredible relief from suffering from dry eyes for months on end, after taking HyC 150 for a week. Now before I get ahead of myself, what is the big deal about collagen anyway?
As we age, the amount of collagen that our body produces is diminished. From producing a youthful type of collagen, our bodies transition to producing an older type of collagen. Collagen has a lot to do with the elasticity of our skin. And as our skin ages, elastin production also decreases.
Yes, I have done my homework and not just take a brand’s claim on their products. It does make sense, right? It does not take me a whole lot to tell that I’m in need of supplementation. Possibly because I have been working long hours in front of the computer as a virtual assistant from 2009, it has taken its toll on my poor eyes. I may not be wearing glasses just yet, but my dry eyes have always been my tell-tale sign. HyC 150 has since been my go to collagen supplement drink. Aside from HyC 150’s health benefits, the icing to the cake is my skin is more supple. What’s not to love about HyC 150? 🙂 (more…)

What is not to love about Happy Skin? For one, how many brands are there that are actually skin caring? Not a whole lot, for sure. Being an advocate of everything natural, I choose to be intentional even in the makeup wearing department.
I’m not exactly a big fan of celebrities, whether local or otherwise, I barely know anything about Kathryn Bernardo, but when she started collaborating with Happy Skin, she’s totally got me curious. I started googling about her and I started loving her views and her overall personality. I even asked friends about her, as most of them chimed their admiration over her, even recommending a must-watch movie of hers, “Barcelona.’ It didn’t take long till I watch. Needless to say, I’m as well charmed by her personality. I’m all for authenticity, simplicity and natural – which basically sums up the makeup line she’s collaborating with Happy Skin. (more…)
Having milky white skin gives a person unspeakable advantages. It can improve one’s confidence and self-esteem. In our country, white is synonymous to beauty. Filipinas today desire to get whiter skin but not to look exactly like Caucasians. We are already proud of our Asian features, all we want is to improve and enhance them. What we all want and are obsessed with, is having fair skin; but are all skin whitening treatments safe, particularly on prolonged usage? The answer is NO, because there are certain bleaching preparations available in the market which may cause harmful effects on the skin. The most common of which, are the Irritant Contact Dermatitis and Ochronosis.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis is a skin condition caused by direct chemical injury to the skin causing skin rashes and severe itchiness, while Ochronosis is a pigmentary disorder of the skin caused by prolonged use of creams containing Hydroquinone and Mercury.
Hydroquinone, when used over a long period of time, can cause Exogenous Ochronosis (where skin turns bluish or black). While it is true that it is an effective skin whitening compound because it inhibits the production of melanin to cause the whitening of skin color, it can also damage our pigment cells when improperly used.
Mercury, on the other hand, particularly the ammoniated type, which is the most common in Chinese bleaching cream preparations, may cause Ochronosis even in very low concentration if used for a longer period of time. Its cumulative effect may damage the kidneys or even cause neurological effects.
Diana Stalder offers a variety of skin whitening preparations and kits which have undergone clinical trials and studies to address the pigmentary skin problems without causing untoward effects to the skin and assuring the consumers of its safety.

Body Whitening Scrub is the combination of body scrub and bleaching. Hence, the procedure will provide even colored, glowing and health-looking skin.
In order to achieve a skin that is white as snow, here are some examples of food that you should include in your meals as these can boost skin whitening. These are dairy products (i.e, milk and yogurt), fresh fruits (i.e, lemon, orange, apple, banana, papaya, berries, and kiwi), oatmeal, soybean, almond, aloe vera, sea weeds, potato, beetroot, pumpkin, green tea and dark chocolate. On the other hand, foods that you need to limit intake are cantaloupe, mango, peach, spinach, kale, sweet potato, olive oil, broccoli, and red bell pepper since they are known to affect skin pigmentation thereby causes skin tanning.
Nowadays with such a busy lifestyle, it has become difficult to take time out to care for our skin. Since everyone has to eat no matter how busy we are; adding skin whitening food to our diet is a must as it can help us with our complexion. Good thing that DS Café is now available through Food Panda so we can have it delivered right at your doorstep. We cater at Cubao and Mandaluyong areas.

Summer is officially here and the scorching heat can be unforgiving. Before we head on over to the beach, let us make sure we got ourselves covered.
Diana Stalder discussed during the recent Fresh Summer Treat Bloggers Get Together how exactly we can enjoy the summer and manage the UV radiation through proper skin care. We sure don’t want to speed up aging and acquire damaged skin while we are beach bumming, right? (more…)
