House of Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

September 13, 2011 by Janey

In my whole life, I have never had a chemical peel… or any peeling for that matter. It always scared me and I’ve seen the actual peeling from girl friends who have taken it some years back and the white skin tissues were really shedding off their faces. My trip to Europe last month had me slow-baking under the sun for long hours. Their sun doesn’t set around 6pm like in Manila. It sets around 9-930pm so can you imagine the hours of sun exposure on my face? I noticed a bit of sun damage on my face. These tiny pinkish reddish dots and unevenness started bothering me.

I had a chat with Sophie of beautynomics.com during a dinner at Sentro and she suggested getting a professional opinion from House of Obagi. She also mentioned that Blue Peel Radiance treatment might just be the answer to my worry but advised to consult with an expert first.

I set my appointment three Saturdays ago and visited House of Obagi (HOO) branch in SM North EDSA. I first had a consultation with their in-house derma. She checked my skin and talked about skin care habits. We were of the same age so we easily related to each other’s skin issues and future concerns. She went on to explain about the different kind of peels and what treatment will be good for my specific skin concern.

Just as Sophie thought, the dermatologist recommended Blue Peel Radiance, House of Obagi’s newest peel treatment. Compared to Blue Peel and TruPeel that are more pervasive chemical peel, Blue Peel Radiance is a lighter peel that has zero downtime and is low maintenance. Low maintenance just means washing your face with facial wash, no applying of creams or anything else (lessening make-up use), and regularly using sun block for at least 1 week. This suits me best since lately I barely have enough time in the morning or evening for an extensive skin care regimen.

Blue Peel Radiance treatment (Php 4,500) is a lighter version of Blue Peel that works almost like a diamond peel but more effective.

L’Occitane Very Precious Fluid

Very Precious Fluid PHP 2,450

Comprehensive day care fluid

This is what I’ve been using the past 3 weeks. I just apply it in the morning before heading out and I’m good to go. No need to even apply powder, especially if I’m in a rush, since it has matte finish.

Here are some other benefits found on the web

– Prevents wrinkles and firms skin – with a high concentration of Immortelle essential oil, concentrated into micro-capsules for continuous release all day long.

– Protects against UVB rays (which cause sunburn) with an SPF 40 sun filter.

– Protects against UVA rays (which cause premature aging of the skin) with the highest level of protection known as PA.

– Defends against premature aging and the development of new pigmentation marks.

– Evens the complexion and reduces the appearance of uneven pigmentation with a plant complex rich in mulberry extract.

It’s pretty expensive compared to the facial sunblock I used before but I found it much more compatible with my skin. Let’s see how long the first bottle I bought will last.

Johnson’s Body Care launched their line of body care products that will surely address women’s desire for the most beautiful and softest summer skin. The leading brand in body lotion tied up with female fashion retail brand, Bayo to launch the “Soft Look Collection.” The collection showcases the limited edition collection of specialty designed summer ensembles that highlight women’s soft and beautiful skin.

Metro Manila’s top fashion and beauty personalities graced the exclusive multimedia fashion show event Tuesday night as the runway at Encore Club featured 17 pieces of the collection, all inspired by a woman’s soft skin, made possible with Johnson’s Body Care.

With the onset of the summer season, the hotter temperature ups the ante for perspiration and increases skin dehydration. This heightens the need to keep the skin moisturized and healthy. Luckily, women need not worry about this because with the superior moisturizing properties of Johnson’s Body Care’s 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion and Wash, skin is kept soft and hydrated the whole day. It is enriched with the amazing power of the Dual Moisture Bond, which seals in the skin’s natural moisture and gives it an added moisture boost.

I love the Bayo pieces that were paraded last night that have made me schedule a mall visit this weekend. Bayo’s collection includes off-white eyelets, silhouettes, little blush colors, lace fabrics that really do enhance a woman’s soft skin.

Mary Grace Magcamit, Bayo’s Merchandiser, explained, “The silhouettes are meticulously defined with a gorgeous variety of tops, dresses and bottoms in styles ideal for the summer season. Halters, tunics and strapless pieces with a soft, flowing feel, show off more skin to soak up the summer sun.”

According to Magcamit, wearing the right cut in the right color is a great way to flaunt soft, beautiful skin this summer. Johnson’s Body Care’s partnership with Bayo is definitely the hottest tandem this season.

Fountain of Youth in Celeteque Advanced Moisturizer

August 18, 2009 by Janey

Usually 30-55 year old women worry about fine lines especially the wrinkles around the eyes known as crow’s feet. I still have some years left in me before I hit that considerable calendar birthday age (30 or 31), but I am at that stage where I should be taking steps to prevent or delay the inevitable –or at least, it was a foreseeable facial occurrence before Celeteque’s newest product.

Last Saturday, Celeteque revealed the results of their latest product challenge test. Earlier this year, the Céleteque Advanced team created the True Results Challenge, wherein over 50 Filipina women, aged 30 to 55 years old coming from all walks of life, became part of an amazing experience that resulted in roughly around 92% of their fine lines gone in 6 weeks.

These women were present during the event and gave their own testimonies regarding their experience with the product. Results vary but for most of them, they felt an amazing youthful transformation. Their skins feel smoother and younger and for some, it was 92-95% less fine lines since May this year!

For 38-year old Cecile Yatco, taking part of the Challenge was one of the best things she has ever done in her life. “I was really excited to join the True Results Challenge, because it was something new” she said. “Besides, I was really curious about their claim of up to 92% less fine lines in 6 weeks. I was thinking if it could really be true.”

Johanna Huang, a 43-year old interior designer, was also amazed by the product’s efficacy. “In my third day of using the product, I actually saw my embedded white heads start to come off. By the first week, I noticed that my freckles and sunspots were getting lighter” she reminisced. “And after a month I could actually see my fine lines diminishing. It was really amazing.”

The new Céleteque Advanced Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer has the Double Peptide Complex, which penetrates deep into the skin, and helps stimulate the formation of collagen. Collagen is the natural protein that plumps up skin thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and renewing outer layer of damaged skin.

Seeing is believing, especially for women at this day and age who have tried so many products in the market. There was also an assessment portion during the event where a dermatologist verifies the number of fine lines a woman has. With the number of lines examined and recorded, the women attendees are now going to take on the “True Results” challenge and see the honest to goodness truth for themselves.

Now, smoother and younger looking skin can be yours. Try the new Céleteque Advanced Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer and see the honest to goodness truth for yourself.
