Beautynomics Review : The Body Shop Moisture White BB Cream



New Updated MW Shiso LEAF_left HR_APMWTSJ001

During a fun shopping spree with Shen and Jheng, we stumbled into one of our favorite stores, The Body Shop just before we exit the mall. I curiously picked up a tube of The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shiso BB Cream. With a good discount ( I think, P200 off? ), I quickly purchased it for mom, who is fond of tinted moisturizers – as I would associate BB creams with tinted moisturizers – BB creams are just heavier. I always liked The Body Shop products, but I particularly like the Moisture White Shiso line ( it’s reaalllyyy good, I promise! ) I’m not a BB cream person, but then, fate brought me and this product together, as I was looking for something light to apply on my skin after my skin has peeled as an effect of the Obagi Blue Peel.

Organic Love : The Body Shop Rainforest Hair Care Range

138098

The Body Shop’s Rainforest Hair Care piqued my interest in an instant – why? It’s because with the very sensitive condition of my scalp right now, I was advised by my dermatologist to try to pinpoint which ingredient my scalp gets the irritation from. I noticed that alot of commercial shampoos tend to make my scalp itchy and make it break out like hell, so now, my scalp is very much in peace with Physiogel – achingly expensive ( P 700+ for a bottle, ack! ), but keeps my scalp calm.

Okay, going back – my scalp cannot tolerate too much synthetic stuff ( what is happening to me!!! ), that I have also found good solace with organic shampoos. When The Body Shop sent me samples of their new rainforest hair care range, I was most interested to have them for a roadtest. Continue reading

Vitamin-ized Skin With The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Powder Mix



144296

My dermatologist, Marledi Dizon, just mildly scolded me for not visiting her for close to four or five months already, as I was busy with lots of things. I remember that she was able to save my skin by visiting her office every three weeks, and a monthly maintenance with my favorite peeling session was done to keep my skin not-so-troublesome.

If you ask me if one visit to the dermatologist would save your skin, I’d say not. It takes one skin cycle, which is three months, for skin to improve. So if you have problem skin ( oily, blemish-prone ) like mine, take into heart that you need to visit your dermatologist ( or a new one ) at least three times before judging if he/she is the dermatologist for you. In my case, I invested 3 months of going to her office every three weeks, and I had drastic improvement. My skin is not as blemish-prone as before, and though it’s still oily, a monthly peeling session just makes my skin become better, and better!

Speaking of peeling, and going back to my story, with my long absence, I’ve had micro-comedones form on my forehead ( itago nalang natin sa tawag na “butlig” hahaha! ), and some stubborn comedones here and there. I’m lucky that I did not have any angry, red inflammations ( thanks to MaMa Lotion, now called M2 Skin Refinish ) With that, she told me that she was going aggressive and will apply more peeling solution ( PCASkin, the best, and safest there is! ), so I should expect the peeling on my skin on the next few days to be more noticeable, as PCASkin peels , when done, are hardly noticeable, and have really really fine micropeeling ( love it! )

My dermatologist loves Vitamin C, and really strongly recommends Vitamin C serums right after having a diamond peel is performed, or any kind of chemical peeling. What I’m using now? The Body Shop Vitamin C Facian Radiance Powder Mix.

Beautynomics Review : The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Range

shisogroup

The key ingredient, shiso extract, has been especially chosen for this sophisticated collection. This shiso plant has been used in the Moisture White™ collection, as it can reduce early melanin-making signals even before the hyperpigmentation process and melanin production cycle starts – helping prevent uneven skin tone, brown spots and freckles. By focusing on early melanin activation, Moisture White™ helps minimise dark spots formation and discolouration. The benefits of shiso also mean that cells in the epidermis can improve the appearance of dark spots on the skin’s surface, so you can enjoy renewed skin confidence.

Shiso extract is combined with Vitamin C, liquorice and Community Trade organic aloe, a blend of ingredients providing the Moisture White™ range with the efficiency to address hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C is included as it provides antioxidant protection, helping to reduce melanin production. Liquorice extract from the root of the Glycyrrhiza Glabra plant is chosen by The Body Shop for the Moisture White™ collection as it helps address hyperpigmentation.

The Body Moisture White Shiso Range has three main ingredients in which it makes it the perfect whitening skin care range – Liquorice, Vitamin C, and Shiso Extract.

Roadtesting this a month before I tried Pond‘s, here are my thoughts about the Moisture White Shiso Range.
