Worry-Free Bonding with OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion!

     I believe that 'moms know best' when it comes to taking good care of their children. As a mother to my only son Kenzo, I always make sure to give him the utmost protection that I can give. If I could stay awake 24/7 just to make sure that he is still in great condition while he is sleeping, I will. But that's insane, I know that I need to make him feel secured all the times especially when he's outside the house. But I also need to stay calm and enjoy our day everyday especially when bonding together.

     I worry a lot of times especially when he's out of his comfort zone. At his age, he's prone to different bacteria and virus in the environment. There's only one thing I fear- insect bites and dengue! So in order for us to enjoy our bonding moments at home or in public places, I make sure that I bring a trusted partner with me- OFF! Insect Repellant Lotion :) Sharing with you tips and experiences on how to make bonding worry-free at all times below :)

Worry-Free Bonding with OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion!

Feature: Jolly Good Bakes

     I'm still a lover of natural and organic skin care products though most of the time you see me promoting mostly commercially sold ones. I still have a thing for natural and organic products and if you'll ask me the specifics, it's mainly bath essentials like soap, lotion, and body wash. If you're a long time follower of this blog, prolly you already know that organic products are the ones that healed my adult acne after my pregnancy.As time passes by, I've seen a lot of products online claiming they're natural and organic. Well, in my five years of blogging, I've only met a handful who passed the certification to be called natural and organic.

     One of them is Natura Organics and I'm proud to say that I'm one of their babies. Natura Organics is already a big name in the organic cosmetic industry here in our country and they've won several awards already. Today, I would like to share with you one of the blooming brand under Natura Organics- Jolly Good Bakes that I'm sure will tickle your senses because they dubbed their products as 'skin food' exclusive, non-edible bakery products. My fave products from the their strawberry chiffon line below :)

Product Review: Snow Skin Whitening Lotion

     Hello dearies! If you're a long time reader of this blog, prolly you have seen or have read my reviews on different whitening products be it cheap, affordable, cost-effective and high-end ones. Body lotion is one of the skin care products that I use that I cannot live without. I feel naked if I forgot to apply it after taking a bath. I've tried so many whitening/lightening/brightening lotions in the past that have different results on fair skin tone.

     Today, I want to share with you a short review of Snow Skin Whitening Lotion that I've used for more than six weeks last November-December 2015 including the on and off days. I'm expecting great results with this lotion because if you'll search this blog, you will see positive reviews of Snow Caps Glutathione, Snow Skin Whitening Soap, Acne Care, and mySlim- all these wonderful products are under Vida Nutri Science who also manufactured the Snow Skin Whitening Lotion and Snow Skin Whitening Cream. Anyhoo, sharing with you my honest to goodness review of Snow Skin Whitening Lotion below. By the way, if you're having a hard time looking for this product, you may purchase this at Cheskas Online Store-  http://www.cheskasstore.net/ :)

Product Review: Allele White Lotion

    Hi dearies! I'm sure you're excited to read this review and been waiting for months to see how it fared with my fair skin. I just finished the bottle of this lotion yesterday because I don't use it everyday. It took me around a month to consume all the contents of this instant white lotion because I use it every other day or when I feel like using it. I was also road testing another skin care product the time I got this lotion.

     This product works like magic if you really want to achieve that 'instant white skin' in minutes :) Since this product is a bleaching lotion, continued use does not only give that 'instant white effect' because it does lighten and whiten dark marks. It also contains anti-aging ingredients that I'm sure those who have tight budget will surely like. This product also functions as 2-in-1 (whitening and anti-aging) lotion in a bottle. To know more about the product and my experience scroll down dearies :)

Product Review: Allele White Lotion

     The word “ALLELE” ( 'a, leel ) pertains to one of two or more versions of a gene. An individual inherits two ALLELE from each gene, one from each parent. ALLELE carries the genetic codes which gives us our distinct characteristics passed on from our parents to us, then from us to our offsprings. there are specific ALLELE for different eye color, hair color, and skin color. If you were not born with the ALELLE for fair skin, Take control and be white now!

     Allele White is a revolutionary skin whitening system that allows you to have whiter and flawless skin in just 1 application and continually whitens, improves tone, and texture of the skin with consistent regular use. Instant whitening made better and whiter. It contains the following main  ingredients:

• Papaya- improves tone, color, and texture of your skin.
• Vitamin C- delays aging and promotes collagen formation.
• Dimethicone- acts as a skin emollient, keeping your skin soft and moisturized.

Product Review: Allele White Lotion
Photo was taken during the intimate launch. Applied Allele White on my arm, can you spot the difference? Not that obvious in this photo because of the restaurant's lighting. 

What I like:

• The scent is very nice! It's like I've sprayed a known perfume in my body whenever I apply this lotion. The scent also lingers.
• It has a thick consistency but easy to spread and apply.
• Made my skin soft and smooth to touch after use.
• The INSTANT WHITE EFFECT is pretty obvious because of Titanium Dioxide and high number of SPF.
• The instant white effect doesn't wears off easily with little sweat. 
• I noticed that the whitening effect lasted for more than 8 hours on my skin without reapplication and without taking a bath.
• Contains powerful ingredients like Vitamin C,  Papaya, and Arctosphylos Uva- usi (Bearberry Extract). Combination of whitening and anti-aging ingredients in one bottle.
• A little goes a long way.
• It's light on skin once applied and non-greasy too.
• It has SPF35, one of the highest sun protection factor present in an instant white lotion that I've tried to date.
• It has a micro-peeling effect on my skin.
• It maintained my fair skin tone even if I'm always out running for errands. I'm already fair to begin with and emptying one bottle in a month's time is not enough to see if there's a drastic change in my skin tone. But for those with morena skin tone, I presume that after finishing one bottle, you will see a little to drastic change in your skin tone.
• Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist tested..

What I don't like:

• The price can be a bit steep for budget conscious individuals since it only contains 75 grams in one bottle. 
• Application can be tricky. It has a concealing effect and if I'm in a hurry, I tend to over blend it so streaks of white lines are really noticeable in my skin.
• It can be drying so a deep moisturizing lotion is needed once or twice a week.
• It can stain dark colored bags and clothing since this is a bleaching product.
• Not easily accessible. You have to order it online.

Will I repurchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this lotion a 4.5/5 rating. The INSTANT WHITE EFFECT is REALLY OBVIOUS so be careful not to go overboard if you have medium skin tone. It contains high SPF so no need to worry about sun exposure BUT it is still advisable to lessen sun exposure while using whitening products. Since the application of the lotion is a bit tricky, I advise you to apply a little amount first. Dab the product in a dotted motion then spread until even. It is best applied after taking a bath or shower where the skin is still damp.

     I will recommend Allele White to those who really want to whiten their skin in an instant. It will give an obvious white effect once applied and absorbed by the skin.

Good Times!~
