Feature: Helix-D Eye Serum

     Did you know that as early as 25, one can start their anti-aging skin care regimen? I just discovered this when I'm already 30 years old. I'm not sure if I'm already late because I just incorporated those anti-aging moisturizers and eye creams two years ago in my skin care routine. Since we live in a tropical climate, we are often expose to sun when we go outside the house. Sun exposure can lead to skin damage and premature aging. Visible signs include age spots, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. The damage is usually irreversible or may require expensive medical treatments to correct.

     Now, you can combat sun damage and bring back the youthful glow of your skin with the fast-acting solution from Helix-D. A scientific breakthrough in skincare, Helix-D surpasses all current anti-aging products in the market, combining potent ingredients and patented technologies to provide amazing results once thought impossible from an over-the-counter product. Let's discover more about the product below :)

Helix- D Eye Serum benefits:

• Helps reduce the look of fine lines & crow's feet.
• Helps lighten the look of dark circles.

• Helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
• With its advanced formula, Helix-D works to rejuvenate your skin from the very first application and builds stronger action each time you use it. 

     We cannot hide from the damaging rays of the sun but we can combat those pesky effects of damaging sun rays. Aside from using sunblock and sunscreen, using umbrella, wearing sunglasses, caps, bonnets, and other things that will protect our skin from UVA/UVB rays will do. Most importantly, using skin care products that is suitable for reversing the signs of aging is highly recommended. I'll try this product soonest and update you if it's a yay or a nay.

     I hope this products works for me. With the hefty price tag, I have high hopes with Helix-D because most of the effective eye serums in the market today are in this price range.

Do you use eye creams and eye serum?

Good Times!~

     

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you a review of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly anti-aging supplement. This product is a hot item in Japan and to those who have tried it, their experience was good. Before Cheska's online store sent me this product for a review, I've seen a pack of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly inside my sister's bag. She said that her college friend who goes to Japan for a vacation gave it to her.

    I was intrigued because it's new to me. Collagen in jelly stick form? Surprisingly, yes. From powder form and juice drinks, now comes jelly sticks! Will this type of collagen make it big here in our country in the anti-aging department? I've heard this type of collagen is famous in Japan because it's convenient to use and the fruity flavor makes it easier to consume. Full review details of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly below :)

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly 

Otsuka Collagen C Jelly claims:

• This beauty product is a hot item in Japan.
• Beauty on the go product- convenient because it's individually packed.
• Otsuka Collagen C Jelly contains 15,000 mg of low molecular weight collagen peptide. 
• One week is all it takes to experience noticeably softer and more hydrated skin. 
• With continued use, the vitamin C and amino acids will promote younger and healthier skin that radiates from within. 
• This product contains 10.3 kcal per serving, a passionfruit flavored treat that fits your diet regimen.
• Otsuka Collagen C Jelly is sugar-free, caffeine-free, and preservatives-free.

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly

• Low molecular weight collagen peptide: provides essential amino acids to replenish and restructure the skin from within
• Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate: a component of cartilage, synergises with hyaluronic acid to support skin elasticity

price: 1,080 php (Around $23.00+)

place bought: Free

Available at http://www.cheskasstore.net/

instruction for use: Eat 1 jelly as dessert every day. There's no specific time since the product's purpose is to make collagen consumption fun and exciting. 

 ingredients:  Fish collagen, Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium, Vitamin C, Royal Jelly Extract, Polyphenol

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly 

   
     Look at the color of the packaging, it's hot pink! My first impression when the box reached our doorsteps last month. Upon opening, I saw 31 jelly sticks that need to be consumed as an everyday dessert but at the back of my mind I was figuring out the taste. If you're a long time collagen supplement user, I assume that most of the collagen brands that you have tried in the market today have a fishy smell and taste.

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly 

     

     At first, I was intimidated by the color of the Otsuka Collagen C Jelly stick, I'm a bit hesitant to taste it because my sensitive nose smells something different. It smells fruity but there's a bit of fish smell. Without tasting the product, I can surely say it's collagen. As for the taste, I can say it's like blackcurrant to berry but again, there's an aftertaste like that of the regular collagen that I've tried and reviewed before but it was tolerable!

What I like:

• Otsuka Collagen Jelly C is Japan FDA approved.
• The packaging- it's very handy and travel-friendly.
• It's wrap individually, convenient to bring anytime, anywhere.
• This jelly stick form of collagen can be eaten any time of the day. It's perfect for snacks or dessert because it has a fruity flavor.
• Best paired with glutathione to boost and speed up the whitening process. 
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• Otsuka Collagen C Jelly made my skin glowing even if there were times that I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• Less hair fall and no more brittle nails.
• It made my skin supple and hydrated. There are times that I don't need to use my favorite lotion.
• 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:

• The price- a bit steep for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible.

Will I purchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility. I've already considered taking collagen supplement as part of my anti-aging regimen.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I guess it's because of the collagen content per stick. I made a computation based on what's written on the box (77,500 mg / 31 sticks) so I presume that each stick contains roughly around 2,500 mg of collagen and the required is around 3,000-5,000 mg a day especially if you're older let's say around 40 years old above. But I will still highly recommend this if you're around 25 years old and new to collagen supplements.

     As for the fine lines, pre-mature wrinkles, wrinkles, laugh lines, and crow's feet, I'm lucky that I have a few of them that's unnoticeable as of the moment. While taking the supplement, I did not see a drastic change in their size, appearance etc but my skin felt a tight feeling so meaningless sagging of the skin. Again, it is best to see maximum results with continued use :)

Opt to be active with your dad this Father’s Day

     Our dads will always hold a special place in our hearts. He is the superhero who fought the bad guys so we could sleep at night, the coach who patiently taught us how to fly a kite and ride a bike, and the best friend who always made us feel special even after a long day at work.

     Fast forward today, age is taking its toll on them. Our dads are slowly approaching their twilight years. As adults, we are often so immersed with our own lives that we overlook the fact that our once strong and active dads are ageing. It is now our turn to take care of our fathers and assess if their health and nutrients are still optimized. It's our responsibility to look after their health and wellness as they grow older and weaker because when we are younger, they do everything to protect us and ensure that we are always in the pink of health. 

Opt to be active with your dad this Father’s Day

Keeping up with grandkids

     Every dad dreams of seeing his children have kids of their own. They long for the day when they could give their grandkids piggyback rides, take them to the park, and teach them the things they taught their sons and daughters when they were young. 

     Although enjoying quality time with their grandchildren is a welcomed activity, tasks like running around and picking up after the kids could be both challenging and physically exhausting. Like in the case of my father who is a dialysis patient, he can no longer run because he get fatigue easily. He's not allowed to  carry heavy things or his grandkids because the fistula inside his arm will suffer.

Opt to be active with your dad this Father’s Day
My father who recently celebrated his 55th birthday with my siblings and the kiddos

     The mere idea of health problems is something most of us prefer not to entertain. In the Department of Health's list of leading causes for mortality in the Philippines, six of the 10 are non-communicable diseases, which includes cardio vascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.

     DOH defines non-communicable diseases as lifestyle-related diseases that are linked with smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and stress.

Are your dad’s nutrients optimized?

      If you'll ask me my answer to this is NO. I regret that I was not able to pro-long his chronic kidney disease. But it's not to late because I can still do so many things to make him feel stronger and better each day. As we honor our dads this coming Father's Day, let us remember the importance that nutrition plays in the quality of his life.

     Helping our dads commit to simple lifestyle changes like choosing healthier options and optimizing nutrient intake can be their body’s best defenses against ageing and lifestyle-related diseases. 

“Ageing is an everyday occurrence. As early as now, we need to remind our parents to start thinking about their health and how it affects their loved ones,” said Dr. Bautista. “It is important to incorporate a nutritionally optimized oral supplement into their diets to help enhance immune defenses and regain strength.”

     For oral nutritional supplements to be optimized, they should contain high quality whey protein, a heart-friendly fat blend, and moderate levels of carbohydrates, prebiotic fibers, probiotics and high amounts of key micronutrients.

      By making proactive choices such as embracing an active lifestyle, keeping a positive outlook, and regularly taking a nutritionally optimized oral supplement, Filipino dads can fully enjoy fatherhood, be their family’s bedrock, and watch their children and grandchildren achieve their dreams.

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen

     Hello dearies, as promised here's the review of Meiji Amino Collagen supplement. It's not the first brand of collagen supplement that I've tried. There are local brands in the market today and most of them are easily accessible. What made me itch to try this product is the country of origin- Japan. We all know that most of the Japanese skin care products are of high quality and effective even if some have a high price tag.

     Like what I always say in my supplement reviews, before using anti-aging skin care product one must consult their dermatologist first if in doubt. Not all anti-aging skin care products are used by individuals who are 30 years old and above. Some use anti-aging skin care products because they're always exposed to the harmful rays of the sun, already see pre-mature wrinkles and other aging skin concerns. The results you will read here are what I experienced during and after taking the product. More information on Meiji Amino Collagen supplement after the jump :)

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 

     Cheskas Store sent me a can of the infamous Meiji Amino Collagen supplement. If you're not familiar with Meiji Collagen, well this brand is famous in Japan. I've read that this product is a favorite amongst women ages 25 and up. So going back, this collagen 

“Feel the beautifying power of fish"

     No. 1 COLLAGEN FOR AN AMAZING 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN JAPAN!!* (More than 5 million cans sold!) A food supplement, Amino Collagen can do more for the health and appearance of your skin than lotions or creams alone. Meiji Amino Collagen is made from high quality, low-molecular collagen peptide. Here are the benefits:

• Daily use will help the skin become softer and smoother, with better tone and tautness. 
• Wrinkles will begin to disappear, and spots will begin to fade. 
• Problem complexions will be a thing of the past. 
• Even your bones and joints can benefit. 
• You will look and feel younger and healthier. 
• Amino Collagen can be added to any beverage, hot or cold, without affecting color or taste.

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 

Three more ingredients that add to the effectiveness of collagen are:

• Arginine: a type of amino acid, essential for maintaining healthy skin
• Vitamin C: an essential vitamin that supports collagen
• Glucosamine: a raw material for hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain the skin’s moisture.

1 scoop is 7 equivalent to 5,000 mg of fish collagen

     The recommended daily intake of collagen should be around 3,000-5,000 mg a day. A scoop of Meiji Amino Collagen contains 5,000 mg already and once mixed with your favorite drinks, it becomes potent now that you'll be drinking it in liquid form. After consuming one can that is good for twenty-eight (28) days, I see promising and positive results not only in my skin but in my hair and nails. I noticed that when I was still taking the supplement, I look less haggard even if I only have 4 hours of sleep and running errands whole day.

I mix a scoop to my Anlene chocolate drink

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 
You can still see eye bags in both photos, but on the second one, I look less haggard. Both photos were taken daytime and I also noticed one more thing, did I get lighter?

What I like:

• Meiji Amino Collagen is very affordable.
• It is FDA approved.
• Comes in a well-sealed can. It is double sealed- one with plastic wrap at the lid and another seal on top before opening the can. It's also available in refill pouch. Don't worry about measuring because it comes with a scoop.
• Meiji Amino Collagen also contains other ingredients like Arginine and Glucosamine for other health benefits.
• There's a mild fishy scent and my sensitive nose can tolerate it. The scent disappears once the powder is dissolved in liquid drink/s.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• It made my skin glowing even if there were times that I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• Made my skin soft and supple.
• My nails are less brittle and my hair fall lessened too.
• I always wake up with plump and moist skin. I look less haggard too.
• 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.
• Since it made my skin plump, I look like I gained weight. I can see fats under my jaw.  

Will I purchase? Yes! This is in my oral anti-aging supplement list and will buy a refill every now and then when I ran out of stock. Good thing there is a refill with the same price of the can but has an extra scoop for two days.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. The price is very affordable and this is the best collagen supplement that I've tried so far. Since I don't have crow's feet around my eye area, I'll be neutral on that. I have pre-mature wrinkles in my undereye that's visible if my concealer creases but during the time I'm taking Meiji Amino Collagen supplement, I rarely see my concealer crease. 

     I'm happy that I only have a few fine lines and wrinkles that are unnoticeable as of the moment. While taking the supplement, I did see a minor change in the size of my pores and my skin felt a bit tight and made my skin plumper so I look like I gained a little weight in photos. Plumper skin emphasized the extra fat in my jaw area. I don't use contouring making so I just let it show.  Again, it is best to see maximum results with continued use :) If you have questions, more answers here: http://www.meiji.co.jp/health/amicolla/en/faq/index.html

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

     Okay, so I've realized that I'm already in the stage that I need to amp up my anti-aging skin care regimen. I'm thirty three years old to be exact and women at this age should be more concern in minimizing wrinkles, lift sagging skin, prevent hyper pigmentation, and other skin care dilemma in the anti-aging department.

     So today, I'll be sharing a review of another famous anti-aging plus whitening skin care supplement from Japan- Fracora Placenta Capsule. Does the word placenta scares the hell out of you?I presume that you're thinking of other kind of placenta but fret not as the main ingredient of this supplement was derived from porcine (pig) placenta. To know more about Fracora Placenta and why this anti-aging supplement is famous in Japan scroll down now!

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

   
     Before trying this anti-aging product, I made a research. At first I'm not convinced and been contemplating if I really need to try this because it's not the usual whitening supplement that I've taken before. Took Fracora Placenta Capsule for a month and I'm quiet satisfied with the results. If there's a couple of supplements that I need to maintain for the rest of my life to age gracefully, methinks placenta and collagen supplement will be a mainstay in my anti-aging stash. Oh, I'll also be reviewing Meiji Amino Collagen this month too :)

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

   
     I will not keep you waiting, here are the important information that I've taken from cheskasstore.net. Fracora Placenta Capsule is a supplement that gives you access to a famous beauty ingredients and can be easily taken in large amounts.

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule
Three capsules before bedtime

     
     Since this is my first time to take placenta, I will not make a comparison with other brands thus will share my experience after finishing one pack. I took three soft gel capsules before bedtime with warm water. 

What I like:

• The packaging- it's in a handy and travel-friendly resealable pouch.
• It's in a soft gel capsule for faster absorption.
• It's easy to swallow since the size of each soft gel capsule is small compared to other supplements in the same form as fish oil, grapeseed extract, and other medicines.
• No weird or funky smell.
• It makes my skin glowing. A glow like that of a mirror reflecting light. 
• My skin feels soft and smooth to touch.
• I noticed that it somehow reduced the size of my pores in my nose and cheek area.
• It maintained my skin tone. I was in Batangas last holy week and we visited different churches for the Visita Iglesia. I basked in the sun for more than five hours. Of course, I have an umbrella with me and I applied sunblock too. It's very hot that day and without maximum protection, the heat and the air can also contribute to skin darkening. Since I'm taking Fracora, I guess it's an added protection against intense sunlight.
• It made me sleep better at night.
• No allergies, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed at the bottom of the packaging.

What I don't like:

• The price- steep for budget conscious individuals.
• I did not notice any whitening effect as what the product claims on its benefit.
• Can only be purchased online.
• Neutral on the wrinkles part as I don't have visible wrinkles yet. 

Will I repurchase: Yes, it's possible!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I think I need more than a month to see the effects on wrinkles and sagging skin. If you're in your middle and late twenties, I suggest you incorporate anti-aging skin care products into your daily regimen. If you wanna age gracefully, investing in topical anti-aging products is a must. If you have the extra budget and you think that it's time to take anti-aging a step further, then taking anti-aging supplements will do.

     I can say placenta supplement is best combined with collagen so, in my next review, I will share with you another collagen supplement that I'm currently road testing and will finish a can soon. But for now, I will still recommend this supplement if you want to start adding an anti-aging supplement in your usual whitening one.

4D Non-Surgical Facelift by Luminisce

     No matter what age you are in, it is never too late or early to be the healthiest and best version of yourself. Visible signs of aging can start when we hit our mid 20’s to early 30's. This includes loss of skin elasticity and volume resulting in sagging skin especially on the cheeks and jaw, fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, expression lines on the eyes and cheek, and more prominent nasolabial folds.

4D Non-Surgical Facelift by Luminisce
Introducing Fotona4D, A non-surgical laser face lifting machine that can rejuvenate skin and fight common signs of aging (Uneven skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines and facial sagging)

    Although Botox and Fillers are first in-mind when it comes to non-surgical anti-aging treatments, there are patients who are not comfortable with the idea of injections and want the least invasive procedure.

Painless procedure with same anti-aging effect as Botox and fillers and no down-time

     Wellness expert and health advocate, Dr. Kristina Reyes of Luminisce decided to offer the Fotona 4D technology to meet the growing demand for a non-surgical way of lifting the face without injections, but with everyone noticing the difference.
