Askmewhats Report: Rexona's Lighten Up! Event

Ahhh Friday everyone! What's so good about today? Everything!!!

Another Askmewhats Report I am excited about!!! Girls and guys! You do remember the time I talked about "Down Under"? Don't you? ....

How dare you not remember!!!! LOL

To refresh your memory, smile like a crazy geek and click here

And we thought sensitive topic is over! Of course not!

There's another sensitive topic that hasn't been discussed much by women because of the "darkness" of it! Yes baby! Our underarms! Well if you've got super sexy underarms, what are you waiting for, click COMMENT and tell us your secret! And please do not say its genes! Hundreds of hands will come out of the screen to strangle you!

I want to thank Charisse Vilchez from Stratworks Inc. *waves HI!* for the invitation. I am intrigued with "Lighten Up!" event, so no matter how far it is, I promise myself to go there no matter what! Trust me...I am the "media person who got lost!" that night :( But thank goodness I still got all the juicy info for you!!!

The event was hosted by
the gorgeous Ms. Angel Jacob

(She is very pretty!)

The program started with a presentation that talks about dark underarms as a constant source of insecurity and frustrations for millions of women!



Dr. Jean Marquez (photo below)
President of the Philippine Center
for Dermatology & Laser Surgery
and Owner of The Skin Specialist Clinic

Dr. Marquez says that the most cases she handled traced back to factors such as genetics and hormonal imbalance. But the most common cause of dark underarms is habitual plucking and/or shaving.




A phone patch has been done
to talk to the Clinical Manager
for Antiperspirant/Deodorant Studies
Dr. Vernon Marti
from Unilever Research & Development in UK



Shown on photos below
are the Deodorant Innovation Centers
located across the globe



Unilever Philippines' R&D Director
Dr. Satish Goel
also gave us a knowledgeable input

According to Dr. Goel, Sunflower Oil, which is found in this new Rexona Lighten Up deodorant, has a rich source of linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid which helps rejuvenate and lighten underarm skin. By creating a protective barrier on skin, sunflower oil prevents water and lipid loss and encourages cellular repair.



And I was left with a very strong quote that haunts me

Quoted from Dr. Goel ---

"Every time you pluck and shave, you cause damage to your underarms, Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil, immediately halts this process and restores underarms to its normal healthy state. With regular and proper use, women can achieve lighter underarms in just two weeks, even if they don't give up plucking or shaving."
What's an event without
some photo time?

Me, suddenly shy
to pose in front



It was great to see Shen from Kikay Pinay
and my first time to meet
Sasha Manuel from
Style Manila



With the gorgeous lighting,

who wouldn't want to pose more?




And another pose?
Now that I've seen the photos

I should have raised my arms! :P







Now, after decades of using Secret,
I've FINALLY...broke up with her 2 nights ago...
And say hello to a new relationship
with Rexona Skin Light!
We'll see how it goes!

Keep smilin'
Stay Happy
Stay Lighten up!

  15. LyNn, I was told by many the plucking can give your underarm "chicken skin" so I stopped and true enough, the bumps are gone! They don't have the spray on type. I am not a roll on girl but more of the "stick" girl!

    Kim what are you using at the moment?

    miRaCLe, you have a great Friday and weekend too!!!

  16. Kahani, I will ! I'll keep in touch with you gals about this product!

    Crystal, hahah I think I got all the "variants" but it's cool :) My underarms are happy!

    ReplyDelete
  17. How tall are you? You look so tall next to the other two women, one being Shen. You got nice stuff! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm using Skin White for active/hot days and the anti-perspirant from Natural Source for ordinary days =D I'm pretty comfortable to those products already hehe

    ReplyDelete
  19. oo lighter arm pits! A couple years ago I had an eczema outbreak near my arm pit area and it itched so bad that sometimes I'd scratch unknowingly in my sleep. As a result they were scarred. But now that my skin is all better my armpits (also my neck, and back) are back to normal, thank goodness, I thought all the scarring will leave permanent damage. I also remember when I was little I used to get lots and lots of mosquitto bites, and my legs were covered w/ scratches my finger nails made, and I used to think that when I grow up and become rich, I will have to change my skin to a scar free one or something, haha silly child! And now 20 years later, none of the scars are showing anymore, the magic of our body! lol...okay I don't know where I'm going w/ this, i'm just blabbering. Anyhoo, mochi on ice cream is the yummiest thing everrrr! If you ever come to California I'll make tons for ya, hehehe :p

  20. i love it when u go to evvent too bad here there's hardly events we are just all waiting for the make-up convention more power to u girl love it

    ReplyDelete
  21. cool! Do tell if the antiperspirant/deodorant properties of the deo works as well. The thing I've foung with deos is that if they promise whitening, it's either the antiperspirant, or worse, deodorant properties don't work! :(

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ahleessa, I am seriously NOT tall at all! I am just medium in height, I think the angle of the photo makes me huge! LOL I am 5'4" in height :)

    Kim, Skin White! Yeah it's quite famous! :) I'm glad it works for you, this is the first time for me to try "underarm lightening" products :) I've been on Secret forever!

    Lulu, lol I know what you mean, some of them do change on its own! I don't have scars at all when I was younger, but now that I've grown older...bad timing, starting to have allergies, I am scratching on my allergies during sleep too which leads to scars as well! So I know what you mean I hope it'll be ok on its own !

    Ruby14, awww, I'm glad you enjoyed my "experiences" going to events :) I love makeup shows there!!!!

    Nikki, I'll let you gals know for sure, but no photos of before and after ok? I AM NOT THAT Comfortable! hahahha

  23. Sis, first of all... let me say that... you and sis Shen looked gorgeous for the event! It must have been an exciting event to attend... talking about pits (Reminds me of Sam when I play with him. I named his pits, Brad number 1 and Brad number 2 hahahahaha!)

    Sis, get us updated if this really works and if it does... I'll haul in August hahahahaha!

  24. You girls look great! Can't wait for your review.

    ReplyDelete
  25. u look so cute Nikki! specially with the red skirt? and shoes. :DD

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love your outfit, you look so girly and pretty.^_^

    I've been using Rexona Skin Light for a while now, and I like it very much. I can't attest to its whitening effect yet, maybe that's because my UA's aren't really dark, but it does keep the skin soft, unlike the many brands of deodorants I've tried before.:)

    I feel very womanly when I use it, haha.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Gracie Sis!!! Thank you!!!! :) I am so laughing about Brad 1 and Brad 2! I've never thought of naming my "pits" now you've given me an idea, I'll call the left one Jenn and the right one Angelina?? LOL Yes, I'll let you know how it goes then you can stock up when you arrive here :D

    Gio, thank you! :)

    Nehs, hahahah I'm glad you like the RED Skirt and shoes lol

    Soapaholic , to be honest, my "underarms" isn't dark as well so I can only review it's "anti-perspirant and deodorant" part! :) But who knows? thanks for the comment and thanks for liking my outfit! I know I should have done better but Gosh, it was a long day at the office :)
