Product Review: Ultra Green Coffee

     Losing and maintaining weight is only a cup of coffee away. Well, that's what Ultra Green Coffee has known for aside from the fact that it has other health and wellness benefits. Cheskas Online Store sent me three pouches of Ultra Green Coffee to try and after taking this for roughly a month, I'm sharing my thoughts below.

     Why I accepted this even though I have a normal weight? Well, it's because I want to maintain that weight and stay away from instant coffees sold in the market. I also want to complement my diet and exercise with a natural supplement like this slimming coffee because I have the tendency to gain weight easily and I have a sweet tooth. So without further ado, here's my take on Ultra Green Coffee :)

Product Review: Mosbeau Placenta White Advanced

     If you're a long time user of whitening and anti-aging supplements, prolly you know that Japanese brands are effective no matter how much the price tag. They are also producing food supplements that have many ingredients per serving but contains a little of everything. Even though a capsule or tablet contains 1/4 or 1/2 of the competing brand, the effect is the same or at par with the competition.

     I'm not a medical expert but I think Japanese's strict standard in their FDA department gives consumers safe and cost-effective products. One brand that's been trusted by Japanese for years now is Mosbeau and today I'll be sharing my thoughts on Mosbeau Placenta White Advanced after taking it for a month. Review details below :)

Product Review: Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen. Yep, you've read that right- chewable collagen. I know collagen users will rejoice because this supplement from Orihiro is chewable. It's easy to ingest and smells so yummy too because of peach flavor. The only downside of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen is the collagen content.

     I'm surprised to see that it only contains 400 mg of collagen for 2 tablets already. The required amount is 5,000 mg for ages 30 and above. Even though there's a small amount of collagen per serving size, I still saw a difference in my skin after taking it for two months. I guess the maximum results will be seen after consuming everything inside the bottle. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen supplement below :)

Product Review: Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder

     I'll be honest that aging is already taking its toll on me. I noticed some fine lines and wrinkles on my forehead and the pores around my nose got bigger. I'm not blaming aging because it's inevitable, it will haunt all of us but after attending events on skin care and aging, I've come to realized that I really need to be serious in this department so that it will come slowly.

     I'm not getting any younger, I'll be 35 next year. I've read somewhere that one must invest in anti-aging skin care products at the age of 30 but now the trend is getting younger. From 25 down to 20! Yes, you read that right. If you're aiming for that 'age gracefully' motto, you need to start incorporating anti-aging skin care products and supplements. I've discovered an anti-aging supplement in the name of Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder. This is a 2-in-1 anti-aging supplement that's also from Japan. More details on Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder below :)

     I took this supplement for 1 month and noticed that my skin is improving in terms of texture and appearance. I have fair skin but there are problems like Hori's Nevus, melasma, big pores, and uneven tone. While drinking this supplement, I can say that there are improvements on my pores which became tighter. Base on the photo below, my skin has a rosy tinge too.

Product Review: Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder
My bare face- Hori's Nevus and melasma on my cheeks, still obvious pores around my nose but smaller in my observation unlike before.

What I like:

• Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder is the cheapest collagen powder that I've tried!
• It is FDA approved.
• It's in a well-sealed pouch. 
• A 2-in-1 anti-aging product perfect for those who want to lessen the number of supplements they take every day. 
• It also contains other ingredients like Arginine, Glucosamine, and Vitamin C for other health benefits.
• I love the vanilla flavor. This is the most delicious collagen powder supplement that I've tried to date. Less to no fishy smell, unlike other brands.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• Made my skin glowing even I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• My skin is supple and soft to touch.
• My nails are less brittle and my hair fall lessened too.
• I look less haggard upon waking up. 
• Didn't make my look plump which I really like. No need to worry about double chin which I experienced with other collagen brands.
• My skin looks healthy and shiny- not the 'oil' type of shine, if you may ask.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible. You have to purchase it online.
• There's no scoop included in the pouch.

Will I purchase? Yes! My new favorite because aside from the collagen content it also has placenta and it's very affordable too!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. The price is cheap and this is one of the best collagen supplement that I've tried so far. I noticed that my skin is moist and the pores around my nose became smaller. I have pre-mature wrinkles in the under eye area that's visible but during the time I'm taking this, I barely notice them.

     I will highly suggest this brand because it has less to no fishy smell and taste which is perfect for those who have a sensitive nose.

Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye Campaign Launch

     Aging is inevitable, but signs can be reversible because of different skin care products that we have today. In search for the fountain of youth, women ages 30 years old and above resort to anti-aging products to pro-long the effects of aging in the skin. If you're into anti-aging, I presume that you are using creams, serums, and even supplements that diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and pigmentation. 

     Did you know that 20 is the new 30? Yes, you read that right. With all the stress and bad habits that come with our hectic, modern lives, women are aging faster than ever before. And the signs- both internal and external, visible and invisible, start to manifest as early as your 20s.  I was shocked when I heard this during Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign. Does that mean  I'm already late in terms of when to incorporate anti-aging products in my skin care regimen? Sharing some insights on anti-aging and highlights of the event below :)

Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye Campaign Launch

     Last August 4, 2016, Watsons launched their Kiss Aging Goodbye event at Watsons Podium Mall with Patty Laurel as their host. Watsons is helping thousands of women to Kiss Aging Goodbye in its latest anti-aging campaign. During the event, we busted the myths about anti-aging and learned more on the facts why it is important to invest on skin care products that target aging.

     Watsons Marketing Director, Ms. Viki Encarnacion, explains, “The Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign is what Watsons is all about. It’s an educational effort with a two-pronged approach, teaching our customers how to prevent the negative effects of aging by taking care of themselves inside and out. We are literally helping people ‘Look good. Feel great.’ And it’s a wonderful thing.” Here’s how the two-pronged approach works.

     Watsons offers different anti-aging skin care products from cheap, cost-effective and high-end ones. Of course these products range from creams, serums, lotions, and supplements. Here are the products that I've spotted inside the store and are available in leading Watsons stores nationwide:

1. Topicals, creams, lotions, serums

• To help you kiss those wrinkles goodbye, try L’Oreal Dermo Expertise Revitalift Range—a skin care solution inspired by laser, that promises younger looking skin in 4 weeks! 
• Or bring back your baby skin with Collagen by Watsons Intensive Nourishing Facial Mask, enriched with Collagen and Vitamin E to repair dryness and enhance skin’s elasticity.

2. Anti-aging supplements

• A lot of the signs of aging we see on the outside is caused by the body breaking down on the inside. 
• Calcium deficiency and lack of collagen are two common culprits. 
• To help prevent a haggard look, you should give yourself the added nutrition you need in the form of food supplements and ingestible beauty aids. 
• One of Watsons’ favorites is the iVi Collagen Ready-To-Drink, with 10,000 mg of Collagen that helps smoothen fine lines, and lighten dark spots for that forever-young glow.

Here are some tips from the experts and from yours truly:

1. If you want to keep your beauty longer, keep your beauty bases covered from nutrition to skincare, inside and out. 

2. You’re never too young to start looking old. Start preventive maintenance in your early 20s. If that ship has sailed, start as early as now. 

3. Always drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Hydration is the key to maintain skin elasticity and moisture thus preventing it from dryness.

4. Use sunblock and sunscreen everyday. Re-apply every 4 hours. Bring umbrella, wear shades, to protect you from the damaging rays of the sun. Avoid sun exposure in the afternoon where the UVA/UVB rays are at its peak.

5. Stop smoking! Drink moderately. Eat healthy and exercise. 

6. Start your anti-aging regimen by investing on products that will help lessen or diminish wrinkles, fine lines, crow's feet, sagging skin, and hyper pigmentation. You can score anti-aging products at Watsons Stores nationwide.

7. Start hoarding anti-aging products now because Watsons is having a great sale on anti-aging products until September 21, 2016.
