Korean Italy Towel Review – Why is exfoliation important
Last month, there was a short debate going around social media regarding exfoliation and the use of moisturizers. Popular skincare business woman who we will call VB published an article that as people in the tropical country, we should only exfoliate and not moisturize. I highly disagree because I think keeping our skin moisturized creates a protective barrier and makes our skin easier to exfoliate. Kikaysikat Says: Both are important. Exfoliation and Moisturization. But today we’ll discuss the former. Why is Exfoliation Important? As we grow older, our cells regenerate slower. Meaning the body takes more time to shed dead skin cells and generate new ones. When the older cells accumulate on the skin’s surface, it…
Top 5 Best Primers for Acne-Prone Skin
Primer is an essential part of every lady’s cosmetic bag. It is an excellent beauty prep routine to help makeup last longer and even out the skin tone. Choosing the right primer can be tricky if you have oily and acne-prone skin. A wrong product can put all your care efforts in vain by causing increased oil production or worsening the acne breakout. To choose a good face primer, ensure it is oil-free and doesn’t let oil accumulate on the skin. Also, look for salicylic acid, resorcinol, and benzoyl peroxide in the ingredients as they are effective in treating acne and controlling breakouts. Need help in finding the best face primer for acne-prone…

Grace Cosmetics Review | Aloe Vera Juice + Medicated Skin Cream & Massage Lotion
15 years ago as my mom was picking me up from school, she fell on a jeepney and injured her foot. She thought her injuries were minor and just let it be. Years later, her ankle kept on scabbing, bleeding at times, and flaking. She’s used OTC treatments, had herself injected with steriods by her doctors, etc. But none worked. We really thought it was a lost cause and my mom was both frustrated and depressed. Until. Last year, Grace Cosmetics sent me a message on instagram asking me if I wanted to try their products. “What is it?” I asked. It was mostly aloe based and they told me it’s great for people…

HAPPY DISCOVERY! Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin Review
Sometimes there are things I don’t plan on writing about but I do. One good example is today’s product review on Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin (15USD or 450php). This was given to me as a gift from my good friend Noelle, together with Manuka Honey and Lucas Pawpaw. Both latter products are more popular than Lanocreme. What? How much? Where to buy? All Things New Zealand (@Newzealandgoods_ph on Instagram) One fine day when my The Ordinary Retinol smelled foul (I forgot it’s beyond 6 months already) and I was desperate to slather something on my face.

Flash Review: RYX Skincerity Foam Cleanser and Serum | Effective ba talaga?
I bought this as a set (RYX Skincerity Ultra Hydrating Foaming Cleanser and Serum) kasi ang daming nice reviews. I was even planning to feature this on my blog and YT B U T BUT Sadly it didn’t work so well on my skin. It gave me these weird bumps on my upper lip and the “glass skin” effect that everyone is raving about is just temporary. Because the serum leaves this glue like finish on your face making it appear glossy. It goes away after a few hours. The facial wash smells strongly of hydrogen peroxide (I know so because I use this to make my DIY bleach) but to be…
REVIEW: Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++
Hi guys! Today we’ll be reviewing Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++. I COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF SUNSCREENS. Heck I’ll keep on trying new ones in search of the perfect sun protection for every occasion. Why so? UV rays and the sun is one of the number 1 cause of early signs of skin aging and skin damage. The best way to protect our skin is through using effective sunscreens. But with the numerous brands available in the market today, not everything is good and not everything works. Before we discuss the sunscreen let’s recap on the basics. If you’re new to sun protection, the SPF number and all the PA pluses…
