Bosley Professional Strength Scalp and Hair Care

Although I'm blessed with genes that is not affected by this problem, ageing men and women is widely affected by loss of hair or thinning hair.  Hair quality and distribution change considerably from one person to another. Other factors that can affect thinning hair  is because of some health conditions. 

I've got friends, both male and female, who are already suffering from hair loss. It's great that I joined my wife Joy of Occasions of Joy at Elevation Salon, located at Jannov Building in Chino Roces Ave., Makati City. I got to try Bosley Professional Strength Scalp and Hair Care Products that offers comprehensive solutions for thicker, fuller and healthier-looking hair.

BOS-RENEW SCALP MICRO-DERMABRATION

(Exclusively available in-salon treatment)

I'm highly recommending you try this microdermabration at Elevation Salon because it really is worth the trip to Makati. The minty, cooling effect of Bosley, BOS-RENEW SCALP MICRO-DERMABRATION, took away months of stress. I'm not kidding.

Best to visit the salon and have your Bosley scalp and hair treatment with your better half, like what Joy and I did, because it's one way of strengthening not just your hair but also your bond as a couple.

Being early at the venue gave me the chance to try these products. I am not at all vain but turning 40 has given signs that says, " I need a daily regimen to keep my skin not just youthful but more importantly healthy.  What can I say? I feel refreshed in just 10 minutes.

Products in the USANA® Celavive™ line include USANA InCelligence Technology® to support healthy looking skin. InCelligence ingredients are included in the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. This Cell Signaling Complex includes targeted ingredients to support the genes responsible for your body’s natural, beauty-preserving functions.   InCelligence maximizes the potency and effectiveness of the plant-based ingredients included in the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. Celavive skincare—with the help of InCelligence and Cell Signaling Complex—goes further and deeper to moisturize skin and help maintain the skin’s natural barrier function by enhancing cell communication.

Celavive™ Perfecting Toner uses numerous natural plant extracts to keep skin clean and pure. These plant extracts include sakura cherry blossom extract, a unique plant-based seven botanical blend, and Olivol® Botanical Blend, a blend of botanical oils. This toner prepares skin for hydration with hot spring mineral water. Working together, these key components enable your skin to get clean, stay clean, and hydrate well in preparation for the next step.

Want to firm, tone, and reinvigorate skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and pores? Treat your skin to rejuvenation with USANA® Celavive™Vitalizing Serum. This age-defying and youth-preserving serum uses a powerful formulation of peptides and botanicals to help achieve smooth and flawless looking skin.

Treat your skin to sensational hydration and cleansing with USANA® Celavive™ Creamy Foam Cleanser—formulated specifically for combination skin types. It can be tricky to hydrate, cleanse, and keep skin looking clear at the same time, but your skin can have it all with Celavive Creamy Foam Cleanser.

The cleanser is designed with natural ingredients essential to enhancing your innate beauty. A special combination of sugars and salt harness moisture from within your skin to reveal a supple, well-hydrated appearance. At the same time, soapberry extract acts as a gentle cleanser.

USANA’s Olivol® Botanical Blend, a combination of natural extracts, provides skin with a deep, rich conditioning and restores a healthy balance of hydration and tone. Refreshed, younger-looking skin is full of moisture and prepared to fight oxidative stress all day long. Continue your cleansing routine with Celavive™ Perfecting Toner and Protecting Day Lotion to defend beautiful skin.

Dry and sensitive skin can be hard to care for. Many cleansers dry it out, and a lot of moisturizers leave it too oily.

USANA® Celavive™ Gentle Milk Cleanser solves this dilemma by gently cleansing and moisturizing skin. Gentle Milk Cleanser’s active ingredients gently remove excess sebum and dirt, and help strengthen the barrier proteins of the epidermis to sustain healthy, hydrated, and beautiful skin. Gentle Milk Cleanser goes beyond just cleansing skin. It protects and defends skin from environmental damage. This promotes healthy moisture retention and helps cleanse toxins and impurities. Relieve your sensitive skin from harsh chemicals and greasy lotions with Celavive Gentle Milk Cleanser.

USANA® Celavive™ Conditioning Makeup Remover lifts stubborn makeup from the skin while conditioning with sugar-based moisturizers. When makeup is not removed from the skin, pores can get clogged and the skin can become dry and irritated. This makeup remover pulls cosmetics from the pores and skin surface, to help keep the skin clean. It also moisturizes and prepares skin for cleansing with other Celavive skincare products.

No skincare regimen is complete without a toner step. Toners close pores that have been cleansed of impurities, and smooth the appearance of your skin to uncover your youthful glow.

Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced after use, and over time, skin’s texture looks smooth and radiant.

Replenishing Night Gel

Oily skin is frustrating to hydrate. Often, topical creams and moisturizers leave skin greasy and shiny.

It provides moisture without excess oil. Some of the many benefits boasted by this night gel include the reduction of wrinkle visibility, smoothing the appearance of fine lines and rough skin.

The ingredients in Hydrating Eye Essence help keep moisture locked into the skin’s cellular matrix. This moisturizing eye treatment preserves the skin’s youthful and healthy appearance.

Sofia’s Face and Body Cream with UV Filters

Last Monday, July 27, 2015 was the launching of Sofia’s Face and Body Cream with UV Filters, which was held in Beauty and Butter at SM Megamall.

 



 

As an apprentice Blogger, it was my first time to attendi an event like this and it was really a blast! We were pampered with a complimentary manicure and pedicure. We were also provided with a sample of the SVR whitening gluta soap and Sofia’s Face and Body Cream with UV Filters.

 

 

I was impressed by the effect of Sofia’s Face and Body Cream, as used by Ms. Sofia's assistant. In just one week of usage, the girl had a whiter skin from face to body. 

 

The owner, Ms. Sofia Veronica Relosa, also presented the new packages for the distributors and resellers of their products. And it made me all the more interested in using it. I'm having a reunion with friends, I want them to see the difference. If this products works on me, I will spread the good news like fire and will be one of the living testimony of Sofia’s Face and Body Cream.

 

Indeed it was an afternoon of some “ME” time enjoying the “kikay” treat by SVR Infinity.

 



 

Thank you everyone for being so accommodating.  Kudos to the management and staff of Beauty and Butter at SM Megamall. God bless #SVRinfinity. Special mention goes to Joy Mendiola of Occasions of Joy for teaching and giving me an opportunity to learn about blogging.

Jasmine Curtis-Smith is the Newest Face of Flawless

TV personality, actress, model, dancer and blogger Jasmine Curtis is the newest addition to the growing roster of celebrity endorsers of the country’s leading clinic for face, body and medical services—Flawless.

 

The beautiful young actress was specifically handpicked by Flawless CEO, Rubby Sy to headline Flawless’ beauty campaign for 2013. She says of Jasmine, “she epitomizes everything we want to convey to the public about our brand—young, vibrant, carefree, confident, beautiful and sexy. We are very glad she is part of our family now and we’re looking forward to a mutually-beneficial partnership with her.”

Fresh-faced Jasmine Curtis-Smith

Jasmine Curtis is excited to play a role in the overall success scheme of Flawless at this time. While in the thick of her busy schedule (Jasmine is also a full time student), the pretty young lady reveals how she is able to manage her time well and still come out looking an A-lister, flawless from head to toe. Jasmine reveals
her beauty secrets:

 

Personal style is basic. “I am the basics kind of girl. I love to keep it simple
as much as I can because not only am I afraid to commit fashion suicide.
Nakaka-pressure also when everyone knows that I am the little sister of the ultimate fashionista in local showbiz.”

 

Two-step beauty regimen. “I always cleanse my face and moisturize it when I wake up and before I go to bed. I love having a fresh and moisturized face.”

 

 

No to loads of make up on. “I think make up is a tool used to enhance the beautiful features that each individual already has. I don't like it when girls cake on makeup to the point that their skin color is entirely changed. I think that lighter and more natural make up is better. A little bit of mascara never hurt anyone too!”

Flawless from top to toe. Jasmine is a simple type of girl.

Wears make up only when she has to. “I usually only wear makeup when I go to an event, and it's usually just a bit of foundation, blush and mascara. If it's a big event I sometimes like to play around and add false eyelashes to make a "wow" eye statement. On a daily basis, the most makeup I would wear would be mascara, lip gloss and blush.”
 

Get enough sleep. “Keep your face young, fresh and naturally moisturized by getting enough sleep everyday. It will keep the eyebags away, too.”

 

Let your inner beauty shine. “While it is important to look good on the outside, I am a firm believer that real beauty shines from the inside. It is important to feel good about yourself so that the glow will emanate. Learn how to better yourself and be confident about who you are.”

 

Loves getting facial regularly. “My favorite (skin) treatment would definitely be the facials. I'm not big on getting too much done for my face, but my daily regimen helps in keeping my skin healthy. I trust only one clinic to give me that best facial there is, (among other pampering services that they offer) – Flawless.
I always feel fresh and lovely after my facials at Flawless.”

Powered by Skin Professionals, Flawless is well-loved brand that is known for introducing pioneering
beauty solutions that continuously raise industry standards in the region. At its core is a celebrated
roster of well-trained aestheticians and medical doctors stationed at each of its 35 clinics nationwide.

Titania - German Products At Its Best

Your feet cover a lot of ground – literally.  And after a long, tiring day with the heat and sun exposure combined, you have definitely put a strain to your pretty feet.  This of course, is aside from the fact that they are among the hardest working, and visible parts of our bodies to begin with.

German brand TITANIA®, the leading European manufacturer of foot care articles, is a brand that will help restore its moisture, texture and will keep them strong, healthy, and attractive.

TITANIA FOOT CREAMS

Currently, Titania has five foot creams. Each one of them is specially formulated to suit one’s particular needs.

Peeling Cream: Made of grounded walnut shells that are effectively and gently remove rough skin particles. Useafter scrubbing your feet with a foot file or pumice sponge.

 Cracked Heel Balm: Specially formulated to heal dry, rough feet. Contains moisturizing lanolin and chestnut.

Deodorant Cream: Anti-bacterial cream that kills odor-causing bacteria. It also reduces the sweat glands to help keep your feet fresh all day.

         

Callus Reduction Cream: Contains salicylic acid that helps reduce thick calluses. Regular use can also prevent calluses. It also has corn starch to keep your feet smooth and soft.

           

Softening Lotion:  Enriched with moisturizers, this provides intensive care for your feet. Highly absorbent and non greasy.

    •      PUMICE SPONGE

Pumice sponges are also effective instruments for taking out dead skin cells and calluses. Titania pumice sponges are made of special polyurethane which makes it easier to clean and reuse than natural pumice stones. Unlike natural pumice stones whose holes close up when you’ve used them once, Titania pumice sponges disintegrate as you use them so they open up new holes every time. Mini pumice sponges are also available. Ideal for small callus areas on your feet or callused hands.

    •      CORN CUTTER

Corn cutters are for those calluses that are too thick and difficult to scrub off with a foot file or a pumice sponge. Use a corn cutter to gently slice off the layers of calluses. Pull the cutter across the callus in one direction and in a gentle shaving motion. When the callus area is relatively thinner, alternate to a foot file or pumice sponge to scrub it off. Do not use a corn cutter if the callus isn’t too thick as you might cut your skin.

Always make sure that your cutters are sharp to prevent unwanted accidents. Refill blades are available. To replace the blade, push the middle of the cutter to disengage the blade tray from it. Available in Soft Touch version.

    •      CUTICLE CUTTERS

            To easily remove your unwanted cuticles, you can use Titania cuticle cutters. Use the soft         rubber tip at the other end to push back and shape the cuticles. Then, gently slide the         cuticle cutter around your cuticles to easily remove them with its flexible blade.        Remember to soak your fingers in warm water first for 5-10 minutes to soften your   cuticles before using the cuticle cutter. Available in Soft Touch line version.

    •      NAIL CUTTERS

Titania chromium-plated quality nail cutters guarantee perfect manicures with its precision-ground cutting edges. When you’re using a nail cutter, you want to start from one side to another, just clip your way across until you get your desired length. Apply pressure on the lever, being careful that the head of the clippers remains in place. With Titania’s special plastic covering, you don’t have to worry about leaving messy nail clippings when you’re cutting your nails. Just remove the covering after to throw away the clippings. Available in Soft Touch version.

    •      NAIL FILES

Nail files are used to smoothen any rough edges left by the nail cutter. Filing your nails can prevent them from cracking and breaking. File the nails straight up from the side and move it from one side to another. Make sure that you file your nails in a square shape to prevent ingrowns. As you file your nails, the surface of the nail file may form a layer of build-up, causing it to be less effective. Wipe it off periodically to ensure that the surface of the nail file is as effective as possible.

***Wooden files, emery files and sapphire files are available. Titania sapphire files are made of flexible feathered steel. They stay straight throughout.

    •      NAIL BUFFER

Now, to give your dull nails a glossy look without chemical treatments or expensive manicure &/or pedicures, a nail buffer can do the trick. A nail buffer helps remove the uneven ridges of the nail, giving it a smooth appearance. Aside from that, buffing is also believed to promote blood circulation & stimulate the growth of healthy nails.

So when you buff your nails, buff only in one direction, either forward or backward. Do not buff vigorously, as aggressive buffing will make your nail thin.

            For more information about Titania’s Soft Touch line for women, please “like” Titania PH on Facebook (www.facebook.com/TitaniaPH) or follow @Titania_PH on Twitter.  Titania’s Soft Touch line is available in all leading department stores nationwide and its products include the nail cutter, cuticle nipper, corn cutter, cuticle cutter and pusher, and three different kinds of foot files to suit your needs.
