I have so many questions! 😂

1. Are BHA/PHA/AHA preganancy safe ingredients?
2. Is Bakuchiol a preganancy safe ingredient?
3. I have stubborn blackheads how can I get rid of them during preganancy?

I need your recommendadtions, please!

Skincare Ingredients & Products that are Pregnancy Safe

Hello, I have always been acne/blemish prone but I’d like to say I’ve found the products that work for me. But recently, since the pandemic started I have been breaking out in the areas that  are covered by our face mask–cheeks,chin, mouth area. Do you have any product/routine suggestions that are already tried and tested?

Maskne

I peronally like it when they do voice out their political opinion and who they are supporting. Huge plus if they include information to educate their followers on their advocacies and campaign. What about you?

Do you like it when a brand is vocal about their political opinion?

Recently there have been a wave of rejuvinating sets here in the Philippines. Ranging from dirt cheap to reasonably prized – I wanna know what your take on this skincare trend! Please do mention specific brands/products you love or hate!

Rejuvinating Sets Pros & Cons

Does anyone use this on their faces or is it intended for the body? If you also have information about the company please let me know. I’m loving their Sun Cream Q10 variant but I don’t get so much information about the product/company itself.

AR Vitamin E Cream from Thailand

None. This product is holy grail material and an easy 5/5!

MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HALYU-CICA WATER-FIT SUN SERUM SPF50+ PA++++

I recieved this product for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review.

🌿 Innovative spout, aesthetically pleasing & functional
🌿 Lightweight. Feels like nothing on the skin
🌿 No whitecast. Very comfortable on skin
🌿 Absorbs well and fast
🌿 Does not make your skin feel tacky or oily in the long run
🌿 Dewy finish is giving healthy skin look
🌿 Great product for reapplication & sits well under makeup
🌿 Multi-purpose product–skincare & SPF in one.
🌿 Would definitely purchase this once I run out!

I can’t say anthying bad about this product.

This is my current favorite sunscreen! Now on my second repurchase. I love how it does everything it claims to be: light-weight, water-proof, good for daily use. The formula is mild and non-irritating which is sensitive skin friendly. I also love how quickly it absorbs to the skin, makes it easy to apply. I also feel like it hydrates my skin – not all sunscreens does this!

✖️ product is too thick when used alone
✖️ gives awarm tingly sensation every application
✖️ made my face flush
✖️ feels slippery on the skin, does not sit well under makeup

I'd say I have mixed feelings about this product but it's really worth for the brightening and vitamin C benefits alone!

✔️  high-content Vitamin C (20% pure Ascorbic Acid)
✔️ very potent but did not irritate my skin
✔️ brightens hypermigmintation in less than a week
✔️ moisturizing
✔️ very stable Vitamin C
✔️ formulated to prevent the product from oxidizing
✔️ airless pump packaging is on point

None. I love this product! It's as straight forward and effective as it gets.

MADAGASCAR CENTELLA PROBIO-CICA INTENSIVE AMPOULE

I recieved this product for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review.

💧 frosted amber bottle looks and feels very luxurious
💧the texture is gel-like and absorbs well & quick
💧gave my skin a calm and hydrated feeling
💧improved my skin texture within a few days use
💧lightened my PIH around the chin & upper-lip area

❎️ Too drying for me; I feel like it strips my barrier
❎️ I have to double up on moisturizer, I need to use a different moiturizer with this so my skin won't dry out

It's worth a try though.

I personally have a love-hate relationship with this moisturizer.

What I like about it:
✅️ It's skin-loving ingredients (I believe it has Eaucalyptus & Teatree Oils among others)
✅️ Clarifying feature
✅️ Skin-calming
✅️ Cooling effect
