V10 Plus™ Water Base Peeling - My New Favorite Weekly Exfoliation Regimen

Like other women who put on sunblock and makeup everyday, my skin becomes dull and clogged up with those "gunk" on my face. So according to my dermatologist, Dr. Margaret Corcoran, a regular weekly skin renewal or peeling regimen should be part of my routine. But with my busy schedule, I can't go to her clinic as often as I needed. So she recommended V10 Plus™ Water Base Peeling.


The water-based texture is no false claim. Unlike most peeling agents that are harsh and abrasive, the gel feels like jelly and is soothing on the skin. With circular motions of the fingers, the gel transforms into light and watery texture and forms flakes which are the surface dead skin cells.

This is a photo of the V10 Plus™ Water Based Peeling on my left hand after massaging for a few minutes:


The other good thing is it's so gentle that it didn't make my skin break out. And it rinses off easily. I have used it twice already on my face and I feel that my skin feels smoother and more radiant. 

My verdict: V10 Plus™ Water Based Peeling is a good "at-home" weekly skin renewal regimen. Highly recommended!

Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Flush: A Review




I was in SM Aura last weekend and was on the lookout for a cheek tint for our Christmas party and I chanced on the Revlon Photoready Cream Blush. Hmmmm... Maybe it would hold until the wee hours of the morning and I wouldn't need to retouch in the middle of the night? Well, I just had to try it. I did try it the other day during my night out with my girl friends in BGC. It is a strong rouge, I can say that. But the next day, I noticed some red rashes on my cheeks. Yikes! I guess I have an allergy to it. Another makeup item going to the trash bin. Oh well... :(

My verdict: Revlon Photoready Cream Blush is not recommended for sensitive skin.
