One thing is sure in this world of skincare, no cleanser is one-size-fits-all. As we age and as we expose ourselves to different climates and conditions, our skin will react and require a specific cleanser that is appropriate for our current skin type.

There is so much right now in the market and it can get confusing. But one of the brands I trust is definitely Neutrogena. Going with them on a trip to Anvaya and learning the science behind how they dos\ things gave me the impression that all things that come out from their company are quality and made to address and solve our real life skin concerns. I like the brand's overall approach of keeping it real and focusing more on science and advancements in it.

Now that we are traveling, eme and the husband will be staying in the husband with the kids for a longer period of time and I have come to realize that my skin will undergo some changes in a new environment. During the pandemic, my skin went through a dry phase and it benefits from cleansers that are less harsh. But every time I spend a few days outdoors, my skin will turn oily, and must address the acne that would start to come out. And naturally have whitening or brightening facial wash to speed up lightening my acne scars andf even out my skin.

If you can relate, I'm sure I'm not the only one with several facial washes on the bathroom counter. That's why I appreciate deals and steal I found online, especially this one from Neutrogena where I can get one or more variant with just a click, delivered in a jiff.


Micellar cleansers come in handy to thoroughly clean the skin off makeup! Supporting a candidate in all her rallies, you'll need one that's tough on pollution and dirt, I like Neutrogena's Deep Clean Micellar Gel and follow it up with the Gentle cleanser.

If there was one thing that kept me from using makeup before, it's removing them after. I didn't like the residue, the panda eyes, the pimples from the dirt that wasn't lifted from simple washing of the face. I hated that and I still hate it even more now. And I'm sure I'm not alone in this dilemma. I know many of you have apprehesion in using makeup because you simply have no patience to remove them, some doesn't even know how to.

I remember that back in the day, I relied on 5 times washing of the face to remove the foundation applied on me. While I remove the eye makeup using baby oil. How absurd right? Not only do I strip my face off of the natural moisture, I also end up with blurry vision. It was really sad.

Of course there are many available makeup remover out there. unfortunately, many of them are expensive. :( Great thing though that I found a great alternative to those expensive cleansing milks and makeup removers.

Meet my new makeup remover and cleanser!


Pond's Perfect Care Facial Wash and Cold Cream


Let's start with my makeup remover


Did you know that Kylie Minogue only uses Pond's Cold Cream on her face? This chart-topping pop star embraces her age and lines but kept it smooth with this tested cream. Her mom introduced her to the Pond's Cold Cream and she's been using it ever since. Quite the thing actually, because my mom introduced this to me as well. She told me that if I ever started using makeup, I should never sleep with it on and always remove it it Pond's Cold Cream.

When Pond's re-introduced this to me, it really made me miss my mom a lot. The lemon-y scent of it brings tears to my eyes because I remember when i use to smell it on her when I snuggle with her in bed (my mom and I shared a bed off and on for 25 years. that's how close we are).

But Mommy was right, this really is a good cream. And if Kylie Minogue could trust her face with this one, I know I should, too, right?



Pond's Cold Cream removes everything from daily face irritants like pollutions and excess oils as well as makeups from foundation to stubborn waterproof mascara and eyeliners.

Now, on to my facial cleanser.


When I feel too lazy using the Pond's Cold Cream during the days I didn't put a stitch of makeup on. I use Pond's Perfect Care Facial Wash as a dirt remover by slowly massaging it on my dry face. Grab a tissue and wipe the excess off. Then I use a 25 centavo size of this again and wash my face with water.

It's non-drying and keep my face really soft and clean. After that method, I clean my face again with my treatment soap. But for those of you who are not treating your face with medicated soap or derma products, you can use this as a day and night facial wash. It will not strip away natural moisturizing oils on your face and it will leave feeling fresh. It is also hypo-allergenic so there is no cause for unnecessary skin reactions.

I love the scent of this facial wash, it's not too strong but just right. It can also be a great partner for any skin regimen you currently have.

Now, that I've introduced you to a tried and tested makeup remover and cleanser, I'm sure you won't think twice with playing with makeup now. Knowing that you'll get back that clean feel on your face again, you can play around with lots of colors and products day and night. And isn't that just what we all want to do? I know I do! :)

much love,
Shen

I guess you're wondering what The Wave is... well, so am I!

You only have to go to the nearest Watson's Boutique to know what I'm talking about.

Neutrogena finally brought The Wave here in Manila! Experience a 10x Deeper Clean.

I can just imagine cleaning my face turning into a fun regimen instead of the usual ho-hum routine. :)

The commercial alone got me excited.. :)



I'm glad that Vanessa Hudgens is the Wave ambassadress, not only is she a great actress but Filipina to boot. :)

I will share you my Wave experience in days to come. :) But I'm telling you now, I'm loving it... as if I'd bring you, ladies, something unworthy... Only the best for my girls. :)


much love,
Shen

PurityTM made simple
one-step facial cleanser

purity made simple is an award-winning, one-step daily facial cleanser that removes makeup, cleanses, tones and lightly hydrates the skin. this facial cleanser rapidly dissolves dirt, oil and makeup to deep clean pores while maintaining the skin's proper moisture levels. purity made simple is gentle enough for the eye area and even for the most sensitive skin.

you need this product if..
you've tried a lot of cleansers but never found one you love
you crave deeply cleansed ski
you want a cleanser that will multi-task for you
you wear a lot of makeup
your skin is congested




This cleanser is included in the Miracle Worker Kit I got
during one of Beauty Bar's sale early this year. I forgot the exact amount but it was nearly 40% off of the original price.

I use a lot makeup, as you all know. I started using this brand when I was caught inside the shower and remembered I haven't removed my makeup. I quickly grabbed this one when i remembered that it can also be used as a makeup remover.

It says:
  • formulated for all skin types
  • replaces your akeup remover, eye makeup remover, facial cleanser and toner
  • deep cleans pores
  • hydrates as it melts away makeup
Say what?? All that?? and i got almost for free? So of course, I used it.

Pros:
1. Effectively removes all my makeup and I mean, mascara, eyeliner, etc.
2. Doubles as a facial cleanser.
3. Cheaper compared to other high end brands.
4. My skin feels soft and supple after washing. No dry feeling.
5. It may not clear my pores as much but it certainly lessens my white heads especially on the nose part.

Cons:
1. Stings the eye. But this is quickly resolves when I rinse it off or simply get a separate makeup rempver fo
2. Smell might bother some people, it kind of smell a bit medicinally.
3. Expensive to others.

Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser gets my seal of approval. And since I am halfway through my bottle, please stop me from shopping because I am thinking of getting another bottle later.

As always, I try to bring products here in my blog that I truly enjoy and those that some of you may in need of. But of course, I am not promising that the same will work for everyone. So please exercise due diligence when trying a product. :)

Any of you tried this already? Did you like it?

Much love,
Shen
