Safeguard Derma Sense for Acne Prone Skin Review

-Dermatologically Tested

-Face & Body Bar (Suitable for Daily Use)

Isn't it nice if this product was already made in the past? I’m always been a Safeguard user and I always find my way back even if I try another brands of soap. Safeguard is our regular bar soap since it is very well advertised even before. It’s been there ever since.

After I saw the ingredients, I’m quite discouraged. The main active ingredient is Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract. There’s nothing grand or spectacular about it. But it is dermatologist tested and Safeguard has made its reputation for its long life in the industry. Kumbaga subok na.

Even then, some of my friends just use a plain safeguard in their face and viola! They have a clean pimple-free face. Some use eskinol afterwards. But this alone doesn’t work for me. I still have to find the right product that will work for my face.

Smell/Texture
The color of the bar is green. It doesn’t smell eucalyptus at all and it reminds me of those soaps that have deodorizing effect. The smell is quite a turn off. There is a same safe guard bar that smells like this, I’m not sure if it’s the blue or the green one. Luckily, I’ve found a smaller box to try, there is another bar for sensitive skin and I wonder what's the color and smell of it.

Make Your Own Home Made Beauty Recipes

I am smitten into anything organic and natural. I always wanted to try the old ways. You can experiment without getting afraid of over indulging into different harsh chemicals. But it is also a hard task finding the right recipe and matching it to the type of skin we have.

Cleopatra has her own beauty secrets, how else could she seduce Mark? Unfortunately, the recipe didn’t survive to reach our time. And before the dawn of modern medicines, home remedies are used as a treatment or cure. Their beauty products came from plants and herbs that sometimes can be found in their own backyards. It is in natural form unlike the products that we use now that has preservative like paraben. How else could those products reach its 2-3 years of shelf life if it doesn’t have preservatives?

We have to lessen getting acquainted into chemicals and those chemicals used to gather them and be kind to Mother Earth once again.

Fetching Water from a Well

My recent stay to my Aunt's house was turned into fetching some water in a well from a nearby farm. Fresh from bed, I was summoned early to avoid the burst of the morning sunlight.  It's probably a decade ago when I last fetch water the old hard way. My arms felt awkward after, not sure if whether I'm tired or not used to it. I made 6-7 times of back and forth perhaps.

This is the so called effect of El Nino. The rain has been scarce. Most of wells are dry and the demand of water delivery reaches its summit. Water will arrive 3-4 days upon order.

My First Sample Room Experience

I’ve just got my free samples from Sample Room. Yes they’re free. You only have to pay the current shipping fee and you’re ready to go. Since I am just a beginner, I only have 100 points to consume. Its 2-3 products per transaction and mine were 2 sample products namely Belo AcnePro Pimple Gel and Venus & Mars Naturals Pure Fully Refined Emu Oil for a total of 100 points. You have to make a review after you received the product to gain the 100 points back or you can buy 1000 points for 699php.

Packaging 4/5
Paper bag is environmental friendly. The paper is thick enough. I only don’t like the part where the box of Belo Acne gel were a bit deformed, as if it was crushed by something heavy on top. For first time online shopper, it would be a heartbreaking thing to see your parcel in that state. That’s from courier’s part though.

Delivery

Xend is the courier used to send my parcel. It is expected to arrive in 3-5 business days. The third party courier is ABest express, probably their provincial partner. Maybe that would explain the oddness of my shipment history/details in there online tracking page.

In the 5th day, I might have received my parcel if only I was able to answer the phone calls. I am not in our house during weekdays.

Black Beauty Hot Oil Review

Where to Buy: Mercury Drugstore

Price: 15php

Content
I was surprised too see the content of this hot oil since I was expecting translucent oil. It turned out that it’s like a light white cream.

Smell
There’s nothing bad in the smell, but after I put it on my hair it reminds me a hint of Mayonnaise scent. (I put one back in the old days and mayonnaise is very heavy for the hair). This could be the smell of shea butter, watcha think? The fragrance differs from sachet to application.

Vitamin E

-It is powerful antioxidant that protects and repair skin. It nourishes the scalp and prevents hair loss. It helps increase oxygen circulation in our body. Other functions include enzymatic activities, gene expression, and neurological function(s). The most important function of vitamin E has been suggested to be in cell signaling (and it may not have a significant role in antioxidant metabolism) ~Wikipedia.org. We can get Vitamin E from supplements or eating Vitamin E rich foods such as avocado, nuts, olive oil and peanut. Overdosing can increase the risk of bleeding problems.
