kojic acid

i've always been very vocal that i long wanted to have a fairer skin.
i have morena skin and unlike mestizas, i'm just limited to neutral colors. with make-up, i still go for earth colors and a big NO on the pink and red shades.
and so, i opted to use whitening products. from whitening facial creams, whitening soaps, whitening scrubs to whitening lotion. even devoted myself to likas papaya for over three years but it didn't have a good effect on me, and so i stopped. i made myself to believe that SKIN IS IN (from jergens ad) but who am i to resist the pro's of having fair skin.
being a pexer, i have joined some discussions on whitening products and kojic acid soap caught my attention. many pexers testified that after using kojic acid (brand unspecified), they were able to have a tight and more fairer skin. and so, i gave it a try.
it has been a week now and sm hypermart only offer a certain brand of kojic acid soap which is kojie san. i gave it a try after being hesitant at first because some of the threads that i've read mentioned that there'll be stinging and exfoliating when using it. there's no harm in trying and i just realized that just after using it a couple of days, my skin became quite a bit fairer. i've freckles in my arms and there was a slight discoloration. the dark spots are almost gone in just a week. now, talking about how effective it is, its a 100% success on my skin. it has an orangy smell, so sweet and fragrant that it relaxes me whenever i bathe. the soap indeed has a drying effect. just make sure to moisturize your skin after bathing. as for me, i have a diy oil that i apply every night.
if you're really determined to have a fairer skin, just go for it. if it makes you happy, then why not? just don't overdo it...

Sunflower crackers will be banned???

I just so love sunflower garlic flavored crackers....my roommate naman has a container of sunflower crackers in cheese...pero it's been two months na since she last bought it pero until now, di pa nya nauubos.... i don't have a sweet-tooth, really and i haven't tasted even one of their cream-filled crackers...buti na lang, kasi just recently, may possibility yatang i-ban ang mga ito for public consumption...base kasi sa ginawang pagsusuri ng Hongkong Center for Food Safety sa Sunflower blueberry cream sandwich crackers na gawa ng Croley Foods dito sa Pilipinas, may mataas na content ng melamine ang produktong ito... Kaya for health reasons, please refrain from eating sunflower cream-filled crackers muna for now, hangga't hindi na tayo nakasisigurado sa masamang idudulot nito sa ating kalusugan, kung meron man...Sa pagkakaalam ko, as of this writing, isinasagawa na ang pagsusuri ng BFAD para malaman kung ligtas ba ito o hindi...

What SOCIAL MEDIA teaches us

Too much exposure to socmed won't do you any good. As what others often say, anything that's too much is DANGEROUS. I am proud to say that I belong to the GEN-X who are believed to be resourceful, independent and we know how to work hard and yet play harder.   Well apparently, there are some who belongs to our generation who are so much consumed with socmed but there are still those, just like me, who would rather take a nap rather than browse anything and everything on the net.  I'm an introvert that is why I prefer blogging over vlogging. I value my privacy so much that I opted not to post regularly on facebook, instagram etc. Enough of my explanation, though. I just want to share some insights on the negative effects of socmed.   Think before you click, that's what you often hear but come to think of it. A lot often forget to think before they click. I have read a lot of offensive words, nasty comments and uncalled for statements written by other people. It...
