DIY: Lemon and Tea mini facial


Hello everyone! I was going around online looking for a homemade facial that's fast and easy to do. I came across several yummy ones but i'd rather share this first before I post other ones!

It's quick and easy to do and won't take up too much time. Also, it has many benefits for your face! The lemon in this remedy is perfect because lemon is useful in lightening acne spots and even out the skin's natural tone. Sugar is used instead of salt because it's a better natural scrubber. Mixing all these wonderful things will leave the skin with a bright, youthful looking face. 

What you will need:
-Half of a lemon (or warm water if you can't get a lemon)
-A spoonful of sugar
-An entire bag of tea

How to prepare:
-Cut open the bag of tea into the bowl
-Add the spoonful of sugar
-Squeeze the lemon half into the mixture (or 1 1/2 spoon of warm water)
-Apply to the face and scrub everywhere 
-Rinse and pat the face down

Now you're done with your home made mini facial scrub! Check back soon because i'll be posting other beauty tips c:

Eskinol: Skin Whitening Product


So there's this product that I've been using over 2 years. It's called Eskinol. A Filipino Product that is used to whiten the skin. It doesn't exactly change your skin color, it just makes it lighter than it was before. It doesn't work for everyone since i've mostly seen Filipinos try it and it reacts differently to other skins.

What is Eskinol? 
It's a deep facial cleanser that has an Anti-Bacterial formula that removes pimple causing dirt from the face. It also removes left over oil and make up, leaving the skin clean and soft. 

Recommended for:
I would recommend this product for people with really oily skin or prone to acne because it heals pimples quickly. There is a slight downside, it can be harsh on the skin due to the high alcohol content and may lead to redness and skin peeling. If your skin is super sensitive, please apply only to the acne affected areas! 

This product is also perfect for whitening acne scars. I used to have this dark spot on my face and I started to use this product. After a couple of weeks, it got lighter and eventually disappeared. 

Eskinol comes in different appearances and bottles so I'll be doing a review on those soon!

Here's how some of the bottles look like:
