<span style="font-family: inherit;">How many times have we been told to drink our milk? We drink milk as a baby and as we grow older we are always reminded to drink milk for our bones.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sure we know that
milk, with its load of calcium, vitamins and minerals, is not only good for
bones and teeth, but also helps boost the immune system and ward off diseases.
</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But did you know that milk is also a beauty ingredient. Have you ever wondered if it is true that Cleopatra, the Egyptian glamour queen, have a daily milk bath to keep her skin young ang supple?</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Milk contains lactive acid, which helps exfoliate, remove dead skin cells and whiten skin. It helps</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">moisturize, soothe, cleanse and nourish your skin.</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Would you like to try using milk in your bath. If yes, then here are two ways to do it.</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have a bath tub then you can really soak in a milk bath. Fill the bath tub with warm water.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Put 2 cups powdered whole milk, 2 cups whole milk(liquid) and 1 cup honey. If you have oily skin, you can add 2 tablespoons of juice of lemon, lime or calamansi. If you have dry skin, you can add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix and let the ingredients soak together for 5 minutes. Then get in the tub, soak and enjoy. When you're done, make sure to rinse off with clean water.</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you do not have a bath tub then you can use this milk shower gel. </span></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To make a milk shower gel, mix together equal parts powdered whole milk and honey then adjust until it has a gel consistency. Apply and massage to your whole body just like a regular shower gel. When you're done, rinse off with warm water. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">You'll have soft and radiant skin!</span><br />

And a good DIY
beauty treatment with your regular breakfast items can make it even better.
Here's how you can have eggs not just for breakfast but also for a beautiful hair. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Did you know that you can use eggs as a hair conditioner? Here are two ways to do it.</span><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beat one egg with a teaspoon of lemon or honey. If your have dry hair, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After
shampooing, apply the egg mixture to your hair and cover with a shower cap. Let
sit for 15-30 minutes, then rinse off. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alternatively, you can beat one egg yolk until it’s
frothy, then beat in a teaspoon of baby oil before adding to a cup of water.
after shampooing, apply the solution to your hair and scalp, then rinse with cool water. </span><br />
<br />
After application hair is silky smooth and lustrous. Using eggs as a hair conditioner is safe and good for any hair type. Try it!</div>Filipina Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10447924552869905821noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860697402272581015.post-81731812279751617542012-05-08T04:28:00.000-07:002012-06-23T21:54:24.733-07:00Miracle in a Bottle!?!?!?Yes!

She gave a 100ml Hand and Body Lotion. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67XMBjxmTqcrtS4aqmQ7CrLcQ253SADEPouBqi2r9NhptvTtpq7-PsLOuhfdyRftQSAwT3LMn38jSjnRtRScK_XFiwhzEiyDTJWvlM05BbUD2FEyjPFHYP-1UWOf5WvyM-mNlxgIkVaw/s1600/lotion%255D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 93px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602003956581482274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67XMBjxmTqcrtS4aqmQ7CrLcQ253SADEPouBqi2r9NhptvTtpq7-PsLOuhfdyRftQSAwT3LMn38jSjnRtRScK_XFiwhzEiyDTJWvlM05BbUD2FEyjPFHYP-1UWOf5WvyM-mNlxgIkVaw/s320/lotion%255D.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I tried it and I liked it. It smells good, feels good and being all natural without any harmful chemicals then it must be really good for my skin, my body. It has goat's milk and cocoa butter. It's light, non-sticky lotion is perfect for used as often as you want. Apply all over after you take a bath or onto your hands after washing to replenish lost moisture. It comes in 100ml and 200ml packs in Mango or Guava scents (Strawberry which I like the best is only available while stocks last). The 100ml is good to put in your bag so you have it all day long. <br /><br />My niece is a Human Nature dealer so I became one also. Even if I don't intend to sell to others actively, I will and am using it continuously. And since Human Nature is Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment, I will be helping my country, my fellow men and my environment while keeping myself beautiful. Isn't that great!<br /><br />This is my first Human Nature box containing all the Human Nature products I ordered.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbl_25U4wkfMZ7D2lkn_uPiipBzLs2ntrMxe41NJCnirCffzdY1_NNJ9RPVnxWnVWzRTPmT7oMGUDzqGTz8v4wRg0mYyWEeqAXlAR76SIcL-ATC-NKASEj6F_UVy-4_hYXN8nA_N-HMk/s1600/CIMG4837.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602003952938534418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbl_25U4wkfMZ7D2lkn_uPiipBzLs2ntrMxe41NJCnirCffzdY1_NNJ9RPVnxWnVWzRTPmT7oMGUDzqGTz8v4wRg0mYyWEeqAXlAR76SIcL-ATC-NKASEj6F_UVy-4_hYXN8nA_N-HMk/s320/CIMG4837.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />From the hand and body lotion, I am now also using the Body Butter and the Hand and Foot Salve. The Body Butter in 50g, 100g and 200g is available in Mango scent or Unscented (Strawberry available while stocks last). It has goat's milk and cocoa butter which is perfect not just to deeply moisturize and rejuvinate skin but also to diminish the appearance of stretch masks. I usually use it in the morning after bath and at night before sleeping.<br /><br />The Hand and Foot Salve comes in 50g pack in Banana or Eucalyptus scent. It has Beeswax, Bee Propolis and Carrot Oil. It is good for very dry and cracked skin. So I usually use it for my soles and fingers. It's goood for very dry fingers which happens when after I bake or make some bead accessories.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKRwP8FeRqnGVjgiQwPyoGVXcui-k6wt9uJjxQKXmVQeQeUfX7n8OdJu0CbOZpic8J9J-xp2wUlBmQfmm6efsKm29_sHeEso4D9wvDqpBBvtgcGfx8uIIZEFmRKeRZpDEq1VU9sjkKIc/s1600/CIMG4847.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602003951527011378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKRwP8FeRqnGVjgiQwPyoGVXcui-k6wt9uJjxQKXmVQeQeUfX7n8OdJu0CbOZpic8J9J-xp2wUlBmQfmm6efsKm29_sHeEso4D9wvDqpBBvtgcGfx8uIIZEFmRKeRZpDEq1VU9sjkKIc/s320/CIMG4847.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Do try them!

And that’s why so many whitening products have come out in the market over the past years. But while there is a growing number of people buying whitening products, more and more are becoming aware that there’s a difference between artificial white – and natural white.<br />
<br />
That’s why <b>Splash Corporatio</b>n, the all-Filipino personal care company and manufacturer of the country’s number-one skin whitening product, <b>SkinWhite</b>, now introduces an exciting new product line – the <b>SkinWhite Papaya Milk</b> line – the first to combine papaya and milk ingredients for the natural way to soft, white skin!<br />
<br />
<i>“The SkinWhite Papaya Milk line is expected to be a hit not only among users of the <b>SkinWhite</b></i> brand, but also among users of herbal whitening products. Now, our consumers can benefit from the unique combination of natural beauty ingredients, that of papaya and milk, and, at the same time, enjoy our complete line – from soap to lotion.” says <b>Anna Gimenez</b>, Marketing Manager for the Whitening Category of Splash Corporation.<br />
<br />
Currently the leading product in its category, <b>SkinWhite</b> intends to maintain its leadership by constantly creating and introducing exciting new products.<br />
<br />
The first product line ever to combine papaya and milk ingredients, Splash Corporation’s SkinWhite Papaya Milk line promises to deliver an amazing and effective combo of whitening and moisturizing of the skin. With its 100% natural whitening papain enzymes combined with milk extracts, those who wish to have white, soft skin can expect results in as little as one week! The products also contain SPF-10 to prevent skin darkening and are further infused with essential Vitamins B, C, and E to help nourish skin. Both SkinWhite Papaya Milk lotion and soap also come in a sweet, long-lasting scent, making them perfect for everyday use.<br />
Best of all, new SkinWhite Papaya Milk line is now available in all Robinson’s Supermarkets.<br />
<br />
And this November, the SkinWhite Papaya Milk line will be available in all leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.<br />
<br />
So don’t just be white. Be naturally white – with SkinWhite Papaya Milk.<br />

It can be used for any skin types even sensitive skin. It <strong>cleans, moisturizes, softens and whitens</strong> your skin. It also helps <strong>dry pimples</strong>.<br /><br />You only need two inqredients usually available in the pantry: <strong>Evaporated milk</strong> (or any liquid milk) and <strong>calamansi</strong>, the Philippine lime (or lemon or lime).<br /><ul><li>In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of 1 regular size calamansi (approximately 1 tablespoon). Remove the seeds.</li><li>Add 4 tablespoons of milk.</li><li>Mix the two together until it forms a curdling, rich, creamy texture. Note: You may experiment on the calamansi and milk proportion depending on how much acidity you want in the mixture.</li><li>Now that tha facial mask is ready, make sure that your face is clean. Rinse your face with water then dry it.</li><li>Clean your hands and use your fingers to apply the mixture on your face and neck. Make sure to avoid the eyes.</li><li>Leave the mask for about 5 to 10 minutes or until it is completely dry. Your face will feel tighter as the mask dries up.</li><li>To remove the mask, rinse your face and neck with plain, warm water. Dry off. </li></ul><p>Now feel and see the difference!<br /></p><p>You can do this once a week or once a month.<br />I first tried this when I was in high school and I still use this up to know although not as frequent anymore. My face has remained smooth and soft. </p>Filipina Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10447924552869905821noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860697402272581015.post-28816767647131354112009-06-22T23:26:00.000-07:002010-03-30T00:51:46.309-07:00Natural Whitening DeodorantFor dark underarms, you can use <strong>alum (tawas</strong>). It also <strong>removes or prevents body odor</strong>. There are several ways of using or applying it and all are effective.<br /><br />If you want a dry underarm deodorant, you can apply powdered alum directly to it.<br />If you want it in liquid form, you can follow either of the following mixture:<br />-- Use 1 Whole alum pound to small pieces (w/ small chunks not powdered). Add 1 bottle of Ginebra San Miguel (Gin). Add several drops (or more if needed) of your favorite perfume or cologne.<br />-- Or 1 teaspoon powdered alum, 1 cup water and a few drops of your favorite perfume or cologne.<br />To use the liguid mixture, you can either use a spray/spritzer or cotton balls. You can actually use this for the whole body especially if you perspire a lot. It really prevents body odor and <strong>whitens your skin</strong>.<br /><br />You can buy alum or tawas from the grocery, drug store or market.<br /><br />I had been using this for the longest time since I have sensitive underarm skin. My underarm gets dark and a couple of times develeped bumps (due to blocked pores) when I use other deodorants.<br /><br />Try this and see its great effect.Filipina Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10447924552869905821noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860697402272581015.post-22687732713659485192009-06-03T10:47:00.000-07:002010-03-30T00:54:43.025-07:00Eskinol Facial Cleaner<span style="font-family:verdana;">I had been using Eskinol Facial Cleanser for a long time now. I started using it when I was in high school. I had been using it daily not just for the face but for the whole body. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There are many variants but I specifically use <strong>Eskinol Natural Calamansi</strong>: "Enriched with the natural skin whitening and cleaning properties of real calamansi. It also has vitamin C which keeps skin healthy."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It really removes dirt and makes skin tone even - lightens blemishes, scars. It is like a toner and leaves skin smooth, refreshed and clean.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">You can order Eskinol Natural Calamansi Facial Cleanser and other personal care items online, from <a href="http://www.kabayancentral.com/beauty/eskinol.html">KabayanCentral.com</a>, the World's Filipina Personal Care Products Store.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>Filipina Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10447924552869905821noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860697402272581015.post-54552222566490203592008-11-12T01:37:00.000-08:002010-03-30T00:55:07.587-07:00Belo Essentials Smoothening Whitening Body Bar Soap<span style="font-family:verdana;">I was intrigued by the new Belo Essentials product line. They have a lot of celebrity endorsers including Sarah Geronimo. So last week, I bought the body bar soap, face wash, toner and whitening lotion. Since it's dermatologist tested and approved, I'll be trying them. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I started with the body bar soap (pink). It has a very light, nice and sweet smell which is not overpowering. It comes in an elegant box which says: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Belo Essentials Smoothening Whitening Body Bar with Dermlight Skin System</strong><br />A body bar with microbeads that exfoliates for smoother skin, lightens skin naturally and safely with its Dermlight Skin System - a combination of alpine plant extracts, California prune fruit pulp, and skin vitamins. <ul style="MARGIN: 5px"><li>Exfoliates to reveal newer, smoother skin.</li><li>Reduces skin darkening by inhibiting tyrosinase, which leads to melanin build-up.
