The Truth About Skincare with Physiogel

 

My husband, has been a loyal user of Physiogel for as long as I can remember.  I remember always buying huge bottles for him because that is his choice of facial wash — simple, straightforward and gentle.

Thanks to continuous events done online, even with the Pandemic and us staying home 95% of the time, I am glad to continuously learn about skincare.  

As Physiogel would say —-

“We’ve all got goals when it comes to our skin.  Whether you want to avoid breakouts, fight irritation, or keep it blemish-free, we all have unique skincare needs - and managing them can be pretty complicated.”

I totally agree.  As a beauty blogger, skincare enthusiast and trainer for so many years.  I was asked this question so many times: “What is the best skincare products for me?”

Well dear, there’s no BEST in the market, you really have to understand the needs of your skin, your personal preference and of course, the ingredients that comes with every skincare products.  With a myriad of trendy skincare products hitting the shelves and run-off the mill skincare hacks (ahem…TIKTOK and IG Reels!), I’m glad we were able to clear some important skincare myths from a real Doctor.  

In celebration of National Healthy Skin Month, Physiogel Skin Month, Physiogel invited board-certified dermatologist Dr. Coreen Sampedro during its SIS Session on FB Live last November 20, helping us demystify skincare with professional advice.

Armed with experience and backed by science, Dr. Coreen set the record straight on typical beauty and skincare myths to better guide us in our routines. Here’s the truth about these myths:

 

Christmas Gift Ideas for Colleagues

Every Christmas season, the company I work for would prepare for Exchange Gift and the fun starts even before the gift-exchanging itself! The fun starts at Creating your own screen name (from Local actors/actresses to cartoon names, etc...) to the whole guessing game of who picked who!

Now that I'm working from home, I'm missing all office gift-giving but that won't stop me from sharing my Christmas gift ideas!  And I'm picking products ranging from Php500.00-Php1,000.00.

For the Kikay Colleague

Ah, the easiest Exchange Gift Recipient in my dictionary!  It takes one to know one --- 'nuff said!  But if you're not Kikay or you're probably a guy who chanced upon this post, well, here are some gift ideas you  may give to your "Kikay" Colleague.

If you see her into eyeliner, purchase the limited edition K-Palette Rose Scented 1Day Tattoo Liner priced at Php795.00!  She'll love this!

 

If she is into lip products, you may go for ---

Unsung Hero: Physiogel Hypoallergenic Products

Happy Physiogel-Day!

I will be sharing my Physiogel products today and let me tell you, this brand deserves a spot on my y "Unsung Heroes" post as Mr. AMW is a loyal user of Physiogel Cleanser!  (He finished 2 x 300ml in half a year!), I can't believe I didn't blog about this brand yet.  

As for me, I'm starting to use the Lotion variant and Cleanser for Baby AMW!  Will tell you more about more tips on how to maximize the Physiogel usage for the whole family!

BDJ Box and Glamourbox for the Month of June

Happy Friday!
Today is unboxing day!  I have received 2 subscription boxes from 2 companies that I like!  BDJ Box and Glamourbox for the month of June!  Let me share to you the products that I got inside!  I hope you are as excited as I was!

BDJ Box 

Eight amazing products are included in this month's boxed subscription.  

Unboxing My First Ever BDJ Box

My first BDJ box is dedicated to YOU who loves to travel!  This box was handpicked for this Holiday season!  The products that we would love to take with us during travel.  

Personally, I have my own "stash of samples" for travel and I can't stress how it made my travel life comfortable!  That's the huge reason why I won the "smallest kikay kit" contest during our Tagaytay trip with fellow blogger friends (a.k.a. Team UBE).  So please, don't throw away those samples!  Even Mr. AMW is starting to enjoy these tiny samples as we definitely have more luggage space for SHOPPING! :D

Let's get back to my BDJ box! :)

The size of the box is a tad bit bigger than my hand, so the size is just right!  Not too big nor small and as soon as I opened up the box....

 

It felt like Christmas as the box was packed with full size and sample sizes from skincare, to proper hygiene, fragrance and a lot more!

 

An overview of BDJ's November Box

 

I know the overall photo could get a bit overwhelming so I've pictured the products separately sharing my thoughts on each!

2 sample tubes of Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam 

1 x Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 Day Cream

Full Size 150ml of Cleansing Foam costs Php1,850.00 (approx $46.25)

For any samples of Shiseido skincare puts me back to my Hong Kong shopping days!  These tiny samples can last you 3-5 days and with the brand, you can definitely see results that's why these were selling hotcakes in Sasa and Bonjour shops in Hong Kong! 

 

2 sample bars of L'Occitane Extra Gentle Milk Soap  

Full Size 250g costs Php595.00 (approx $14.85)

I have never tried L'Occitane soaps so I'm quite excited with these 2 sample bars!  These are similar size to the hand soaps we get on hotels so a sample bar can last me at least a week!

Full Size 50ml Physiogel Hypo-allergenic Intensive Cream

Full Size costs Php517.00 (approx $12.92)

 Hubby grabbed this from me in an instant as he's been a loyal user of Physiogel.  He may have tried a lot of other brands but he goes back to Physiogel once in awhile as this brand works for his skin!  He put this inside his bag and told me he'll take this with him at work!  (great job Nikki!  I'm a good influence!)

 

1 Full Size Garnier Light Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream

2 samples of  Garnier Light Complete Whitening Cream

Garnier Light Complete Whitening Cream 50ml 

costs Php229.00 (approx $5.73)

Both the full size and sample sizes are sold in major supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.  Both products can last you long to be able to know if the product works for you or not!

 

Full Size Yuka Non-Acetone Wipes, 35sheets

Php68.00 (approx $1.70)

 I haven't heard or seen the brand before so it's nice to try something new for a change!  I've always been intrigued with non-acetone based nail polish remover!  The best part about this cute product is the non-drying factor plus no extra cotton is needed!  No mess, no spills!  Perfect for travel!  

 I will definitely post a review once I'm done trying this out!

 

2 pcs Nippon Cleansing Sponge

10-piece pack costs Php325.00 (approx $8.13)

I have used a lot of the Nippon Cleansing Sponges and I'm very happy with the quality.  I use these to wash my body, same sponge to deep clean my brushes and last but not the least, you can use this sponge for your face!

Sample tube of Dentiste Plus White Vitamin C and Xylitol

Full size costs Php395.00 (approx $9.88)

 This brand of toothpaste prides on having 14 kinds of premium natural extracts and works best in inhibiting bacteria growth!  One tiny tube can last you 2 days of morning and evening tooth-brushing!

At least, you get to test out the taste of the toothbrush before purchasing a full size!

1 sample size of Calvin Klein beauty Perfume

Full size bottle 100ml costs Php5,498.00 (approx $137.45)

 I find these tiny spritz sample scents are so handy especially during travel!  I used to just lug 1 scent for a week's travel and with these tiny samples?  I can use 7 different scents for 7 days without having problems at the airport!  (okay, that's a bit too much but you get the drift!)

1 x sample tube of L'Oreal Men Expert 

Hydra Energetic Multi Action 8 Cleanser

 Another tiny tube of skincare that Mr. AMW can take with him during travel.  This will last up to 2-3 days depending on how much you use or how big your man's face is!  :) 

Aside from all the full sized and sample sizes of products stated above, the BDJ box is filled with loads of coupons!  One coupon that made this box worth it is ----

How do you like my December BDJ Box?  Have you subscribed from them?  Are you happy with your box?

So far, I am quite impressed with the number of products included in the box as there were indeed a lot of them for me and my loved ones to try!  Some of the samples I guess are just too small for me to gauge if the products work for me or not but the bigger sized and full sized samples made up for it!
