Garnier Light Complete Multi-action whitening cream

I've been thinking a lot lately on how to deal with my acne scars due to the breakouts that I experience while using retin a. While taking a bath I remembered one product that I've used before and this is the Garnier multi-action whitening cream. I've used this consistently for almost a year so I decided to purchased it again. This morning I went to department store and bought Garnier.

For my past experience it really whitens my skin and it also lightened my acne scars though it is still visible.

It does control my oily face as it says in the package "8HR SHINE-FREE LOOK" but for me it only last for 3-5 hours
This product is good for preventing acne marks and dark spots, it has also UVA/UVB filters. It smells like a lemon.



It's very affordable and it only cost Php 112.55 for the 40ml tube and the smaller one I think it cost Php 65.00.

Just a reminder that everyone has different skin type, it might work for me but for others it might not work.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub

I really wanted to share this product that I've been using for over 2 weeks now and I'm loving it, and this is the St. Ives fresh skin, apricot scrub invigorating.


 It has natural extract from apricot and  I like  the scrub because it does not dissolve which really exfoliates and deep cleans my skin. I've been using this every other night since it was written in the direction to use it 3-4 times a week, ever since I use this I feel the difference in my skin and it feels smoother and yeah I'm really happy with the results.
I just bought the small one just to try it and this cost I think Php66.00 and I will definitely  buy  this when I run out and I'll be making sure to get the bigger bottle.
two thumbs up!, Yay!

Skin Update

Yehey I'm back! 
I'm making an update about retin a which I started using it last march. I've decided to stop it because my pimples are getting worse, other people says it lasted about 2 to 3 months after they see good result on their skin but for me it did not work. One tube lasted about 2 1/2 months.

I have the same skin problem with my sister and I noticed that her face looks amazing than the last time I saw her and so I asked her what she's applying in her face and she told me that she only use tender care which is a mild soap to wash her face and eskinol with dalacin-c for toner and that's it. I was thinking to give it a try. Now I'm using it for almost a monthe and I notice that my acne marks that was cause by retin a faded while others are still fading. Though I still have break outs during my menstrual cycle but Im happy with the result of eskinol with dalacin-c right now. 

For my routine, I'm still using celeteque facial wash,  after washing my face I then use eskinol and then I put moisturizer. 

What I like about eskinol and dalacin-c is that it really gets the dirt that was not removed with just washing my face and I can really tell because after swiping the cotton ball in my face and neck the cotton gets dark.

There are lots of varieties of eskinol and the one I'm using is the new eskinol dermaclear- C facial cleanser, I choose this because it says in the bottle "pimple fighting". 
mixture: 135ml of eskinol and 150 mg of dalacin-c then shake.  

As you can see it's almost over and it lasted over a month. I bought this for, I think Php 56.00, it's really cheap yet very effective.

I'm back

Hi everyone! it's been so long since I last updated my blog, but now I'm back and there are lots of things I need to tell you:

        First: I abandoned my blog - during my vacation I don't have time to sit around and just update my blog or do the typing because I was asked by my mom to help her with her business specially when my mom and two other sisters went on a vacation to visit my grandparents and the place where she grew, so I was asked to substitute her.
        Second: I lost track of my weight loss program. Remember my "Gaining three kilos in just two weeks" post? When I arrived at our house I lost 3 kilos but after 2 weeks of staying there I gained what I lost and it's because my family loves food, specially my dad, he really loves rice and breads. When our family is complete he will buy delicious foods and during meals he won't stop calling us unless we're already at the dining table and he wants us to eat rice and I can't say no, while eating I didn't notice that I already eat a lot because we are all chit chatting, exchanging jokes specially my brother he acts as a comedian in our family. "Oh! I'm missing them"

But now I'm back in Dumaguete because summer is already over, I can now get back into my goal and fix my lifestyle. Well my weight right now is 110 lbs and I think this is my normal weight because even If I don't go on a diet my weight stays the same. My mom always tells me that my body is normal, not too fat or too skinny, but for me it's not, because I have big arms, big thighs and calves and that's what I want to reduce but of course I know there is no such exercise that directly targets the arms or the thighs you must do it equally.  Last April when I did a body fat analysis I'm so happy knowing that I'm still in a normal range but I don't know now if I'm still in a normal range because it's been a month. Anywayzz today I'm starting to make new goals and plans on what to do because my first attempt failed but now I will really make sure that I won't fail again and that I will reach my goal. So stay tuned on my blog.. thnx! God bless and more power to us!
