Product Review: Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser

     Skincare junkies, hear ye, hear ye! Say hello to the all-new Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser that's perfect for sensitive skin! I’m so excited to share this because it’s a breakthrough in germicidal soaps. We all know that anti-bacterial soaps tend to be harsh on sensitive skin making it dry. The all-new Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser gently lifts up to 99.9% of germs, dirt, and oil with its Micellar technology- tiny balls of oil cleansing molecules suspended in water to draw out dirt and impurities without overdrying your skin.

     Did you know that sensitive skin is more vulnerable to germs? This is due to a weaker skin barrier vs normal skin that's why if you have sensitive skin, you need a germ-protecting soap like Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser series that's also paraben-free, and dermatologically tested. The three variants are already a staple in the household. I’m currently hooked with Berries & Pear variant while my son uses the unscented one that's perfect for his sensitive skin. ⁣Sharing my thoughts on the all NEW Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser below.

From A Mom to Mom- Safeguard's 'Pabaon Sa Buhay'

     I'm sure that all of you saw the heartwarming and inspiring video of Norman King- the first Aeta who graduated from the University of the Philippines. It's an achievement that all parents can be very proud of. I also graduated from UP and yes, my parents are so proud of me until now. 

     The Safeguard "Pabaon Sa Buhay" short film is a real-life story of how a mother’s ‘pabaon’ of life lessons & values protected her son’s indigenous identity in the outside world. The lessons of Warlita King enabled her son Norman to be the first ever Aeta to graduate from the Philippines’ premier state university. I'm sure that all moms have 'pabaon sa buhay' to their children and as a mom, I want to pass on the provisions in life that my mama taught me to my son.

#HANGINfection is here!

     We all know that germs can be passed through person-to-person contact or touching dirty objects. What many of us don't know is that germs live in the air, too. If you believe that not touching anything or anyone can keep germs at bay, you better think again.

Worry-Free Back To School with Safeguard

     Back to school is an exciting season for me and my son. We are excited to shop for school supplies, lunch box, trolley bag, and other school essentials. Aside from the excitement, this season is also one of the seasons where I worry a lot because I'll not be able to look after my son once he steps outside the house.

     I'm a self-confessed clean freak and germs are my number one enemy. Call me paranoid and I'll accept it for the sake of my family's health. Germs are everywhere and I'm always in doubt with pencils, desks, notebooks, lunch boxes as these surfaces can unknowingly cause germs to spread and infect children easily. In order for me to have a peace of mind when Kenzo's not around, I always make sure that he is protected from head to toe. Let me share with you what keeps me worry-free because I know that my son is protected even when I'm not around after the jump!

Worry-Free Back To School with Safeguard

Feature: Safeguard

     We've learned so many things about germs and Safeguard during our recent trip to Safeguard Innovation Center last March. We also discovered the science behind Safeguard and why for more than 50 years, they remain the number one antibacterial soap in the Philippines. Medical technologist and PAMET showed us different kinds of germs in the environment that is also present in our homes. It's gross to know that germs lurk in the things that we use everyday that's why proper handwashing is a must.

     Have you read my Safeguard Science Discovery Tour post already? I've mused in that post what are the types of germs that causes disease in the family and why it is important for us to wash our hand using antibacterial soap. Now, get to know more of Safeguard and the variants that you can use from head to toe. See Safeguard products below and how moms should protect their families' health with trusted germ protection everyday.

Safeguard Science Discovery Tour Singapore

     If a child asks you why it is important to wash your hands, do you have an instant answer? It's a no brainer that you'll say- handwashing is very important to avoid sickness. But to a little one, there's more to explain other than the diseases caused by not washing your hands properly. The curious minds need to be satisfied in order for them to understand the basics- the why, when, what, and how of hand washing.

     Weeks ago, Safeguard Philippines brought us to Singapore to know the answers to those questions. They let us visit their innovation center to discover the science behind germs. We became mommy microbiologist and the kids were the little detectives for a day to investigate if our hands are really clean. My little detective, Kenzo joined other kids in Safeguard Science Discovery Tour and learned so many things about cleanliness and Safeguard. Learn more about bacteria and how Safeguard provides superior skin germ protection for the whole family after the jump!

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser Acne Prone Skin

     For this post, I'm going to share with you my final thoughts on Safeguard Derma Sense for Acne Prone Skin Facial Cleanser. I occasionally suffer from breakouts, one before and after my period and another during summer because of sweat. It is still summer right? It's still hot outside and I'm still busy running errands so sweat, dirt, and other forms of pollution touch my face. There's a time when I feel that a pimple will pop out on my forehead where sweat always runs down.

     Since I've been using Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin religiously day and night, the threat of having a new acne has been prevented by this facial cleanser. Recap of my experience before, during, and after 14 days of using this product below. Scroll down to see my honest to goodness review :)

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser Acne Prone Skin
A good skin care regimen will result in acne-free skin. My skin is not perfect but hey, I'm pimple-free :) 

What I like:

• The price is affordable.
• It comes in a squeeze tube that dispenses the right amount of product.
• Can pass as odourless, so if you're like me who has sensitive nose, you will enjoy using this facial cleanser.
• The product's texture is thick so a little amount goes a long way.
• Using this product is a breeze, only mild circular strokes and you're done.
• My skin felt squeaky clean after using the product.
• I also felt my skin is soft and smooth to touch after use.
• This product results in healthy, beautiful, and acne-free skin. I've seen that my skin is less oily even though I feel like melting under the heat of the sun. 
• My skin feels refreshed every time I use this facial cleanser.
• Most important factor for me is that Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin didn't cause breakouts, irritation, allergies, or whatsoever. 
• This facial cleanser is so gentle not only to the skin but also to my eyes :)
• No need to  worry about stinging or burning sensation even though it contains salicylic acid.
• The product is easily available.
• There's batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the tube.

What I don't like:

• Doesn't produce a good lather. I guess this is because I'm used to soaps that lathers well. 

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this facial cleanser a 4.75/5 rating. I'm a bit skeptical on the first week of using the product but after seeing that it prevented acne formation on my forehead, I'm convinced that Safeguard Derma Sense targets the germs that cause acne. I'm also using an effective moisturizer after washing my face together with Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser so I guess a good skin care regimen will really help in combating those nasty zits.

Product Review: Safeguard DERMA SENSE Facial Cleanser

     Hello dearies! Still enjoying summer? I know you are! There are different activities that makes summer a well-loved season here in our country. A family vacation to one of the pristine beaches and resorts, a barkada outing and road trip to amusement parks, and joining summer activities like outdoor leagues and sports. 

     This season is the season where we enjoy Mr. Sun the most, we don't care if we get a beautiful tan right? But with the activities I listed above, the more active we are, the more sweat we get especially that this insane heat makes us sweat more than the usual. Even though we enjoy the weather, our skin is compromised and there are skin problems that we need to address. I sweat a lot during summer and excessive sweating makes my skin sensitive to bacteria build up. I get acne on my forehead that becomes reddish and painful if I don't address it immediately. I make sure that I'm armed with products that will prevent acne from popping out so when Safeguard sent me their latest facial wash, I said to myself that my normal beauty soap maybe not be enough to address summer acne as it does not provide long-lasting protection from germs. Scroll down to read more what I think of Safeguard Derma Sense for Acne-Prone Skin.

     So now let's get into the product details. Safeguard Derma Sense can provide germ protection to address acne because it does the following:

• It is designed to address special skin needs, such as acne, which are manifestations of germ-related issues. 
• It goes to the root of the problem by getting rid of the germs. 
• Derma Sense comes in two variants for Acne-Prone Skin and for Sensitive Skin, and is available in cleanser, body wash and soap bar.

     This product line from Safeguard is available in three types, the face and body bar, body wash, and facial cleanser. For those who are already used to using the body bar and have a tight budget, you can score this for a 50% off on the second bar. It's big savings because this soap can be used for face and body.

     If you're a body wash fanatic, they also have body washes for you! The sensitive and acne-prone body wash. The latter is great for those suffering from bacne. Remember that excessive sweating can attract bacteria so skin care product that protects you from germs is what you need.

     Finally for the face, the facial cleansers! These cleansers are the big hero this summer! As I've told you above, summer heat can cause excessive sweating and I'm in the group who sweat a lot even if I'm not that active at home. The sweat tends to run from my head down to my forehead and my face. There are times that I'm prone to acne but with a good pimple/acne fighting product like Safeguard Derma Sense, the germs that will cause flare up in my skin will be prevented from forming. So when I received these facial cleansers from Safeguard, I was relieved because I believe Safeguard Derma Sense will save my skin from breakouts. 

Safeguard Derma Sense for Sensitive Skin

     Safeguard Derma Sense for Sensitive Skin is specifically designed for sensitive, easily irritable skin. It’s gentle on skin because of its mild, non-irritating formula, with no added alcohols or dyes. It’s dermatologically tested and maintains your skin’s natural defense layer.
