Have you ever met someone who says they usually never get pimples? Yep, that was NEVER my case. Growing up, as shallow as it may sound, but I will always remember how horrible my acne was. As in BIG. RED. CYSTIC. ACNE. Everywhere – from my forehead to my cheeks. Ever since, I’ve been sooo careful what I put on my face – especially during my pregnancy. I hope this article helps those who are going through a similar situation!

Nightly Ritual: My Skin Care Routine I have this terrible habit of staying up late – which I used to think was the reason for my bad skin. I tried everything to improve it but nothing seemed to work. While it’s (fairly) common knowledge that going to bed without washing your face is unacceptable, I never really knew what a proper “Night Skincare Routine” was. Basically, it’s tailored to your own situation. New skin cells grow faster while you sleep, so a good evening facial routine should be a high priority. At night, the goal is to repair damage from the day’s pollution, sun and stress, as well as to hydrate since you lose more water from your skin. Read on my tips!

A Closer Look At The Other World of Balesin I couldn’t explain the feeling when I received a blogger event invite to.. what – Balesin? Where’s that? Did I read it right? I was in for a treat when I hit that Google button. I couldn’t believe my first out of town event would be held in this beautiful 500 hectare island inspired and named after some of the most luxurious beach resorts around the world—Mykonos, St. Tropez, the Costa Smeralda, Bali and Phuket. Welcome to Balesin! Touchdown, Balesin! Whoever saw the potential of this island (and developed it!) is pure genius – our view from the plane window shows more than seven kilometers of white-sand beaches. We arrived shortly in just a 20-minute private transfer from Manila to Balesin, departing at 6AM at the CAAP hangar.

Patti Grandige spearheads #FreeInMySkin movement! Patti, one of the country’s freshest and most beautiful faces, admitted that she used to be like one of every two Filipinas who suffered from dry and sensitive skin. Really, who knew?
