Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton has something in common. Like me, they are both afraid of acne or pimples. Because when they have acne it’s shameful for them to show their face to people especially to their fans. This is the worst enemy of teenagers and celebrities. Whenever they have pimples on their face they choose to stay home instead of going out and party. It is a disease that makes a person feel really bad and ashamed. Here are some reasons on how having pimples or acne can affect a person’s self-confidence. These are the following behavior of a person with acne or pimples:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Social withdrawal
• Decreased self-esteem
• Reduced self-confidence
• Poor body image
• Embarrassment
• Anger
• Preoccupied with thoughts about acne
• Frustration
• Higher rate of unemployment

In connection with these reasons, acne has been a great problem for us.
It is a common human skin disease, characterized by areas of skin with severe unacceptable shameful forms. When you have millions of fans around like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton it is really unacceptable. Acne or pimples mostly affects the areas of skin with the densest population areas which includes the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back.

It has been a worry for us whenever we have acne. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in non inflammatory forms. Acne are commonly referred to as pimples, blemishes, spots, zits, or simply acne. Acne are caused by changes in skin structures consisting of a hair and it’s associated glands, changes which require androgen stimulation. Here in the Philippines acne is considered our worst enemy.

According to Wikipedia, studies and intensive research, Acne occurs most commonly during adolescence, affecting more than 96% of teenagers, and often continues into adulthood. In adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in male sex hormones, which people of both genders acquire during puberty. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear—or at the very least decrease—after one reaches one’s early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will carry this condition well into their thirties, forties and beyond. Especially if your age conscious, Acne can make you look ten years older.

She will join Binibining Pilipinas 2010 pageant.

trivia:

she was the GoBingo girl and became one of  Gagambino cast.

Watch out for her sexy calendar soon!

Remember the wicked evil sister of Judy Ann Santos in Mara Clara? The girl who always make sampal to Mara, that is she- Gladys Reyes, the kontrabida turned celebrity Mom, wife and entrepreneur.

I wonder why Gladys Reyes is so glowing and white skinned.  She`s got smooth skin and young looking face. She never became old. From her Mara Clara days upto present, she remained as pretty as she is. She still looks like a twee-tums maldita looking  star.  It was never told actually but she has a secret. KSA Magic Products and calamansi. ( view history ). I remeber that she was once featured as one of the top smoothiest skin celebrities in a lifestyle TV show. And that is so true she was really that smoothy. She also mentioned that she uses calamansi to clean her skin as she took her bath.

Gladys Reyes

It was a wish come true. I met her personally and I was really frozen. She is so glowy and pretty. She never changed since the day I watched her on TV. BTW, I met her at the 18th christmas party of  GLOWCAL Manufacturing Corporation. We had the chance to chat with her. I learned that she was using KSA Magic products that`s why she remained pretty. Her favorite was the Oatmeal soap and she does recommend it to us. She said that by just regularly using it , you`ll notice that you will gradually notice your glowing white skin. It was fun meeting and greeting her. I would like to thank Pinay Ads and Sire Arevalo for this event.

KSA Magic Products did exactly what you said it does. I am really satisfied with my KSA Magic Products. Everything happened so fast!

FAQ`s
What are the differences between KSA Magic Cream with other Magic Creams in the market?

1. KSA Magic lightening cream is BFAD/FDA Approved
2. It does not contain harmful ingredients like hydroquinone, mercury, steroids and animal fat
3. Formulation is consistent. It is formulated from raw materials while ORDINARY Magic Cream is just mixtures of different creams squeezed from different branded finished products like:
Fair and Love creams for moisturizing and Anti Aging
Poly for whitening since it contains hydroquinone
Dermovaite for pimples since it contains skin antisentic and steroids
These products were put together to form magic creams so consistency is impossible. You can just imagine different tubes or different creams put together in a pail and packed in a specimen bottle. This method was done in Saudi Arabia.
4. KSA Magic products are affordable because it contains natural herbal products
5. KSA Magic Cream is effective but most important is IT IS SAFE since it was modified according to BFAD policies and procedures.
All whitening products in the market are safe, but the question is… are they safe?

What is Glowcal Manufacturing Produces Cold Processed Soap….?

Cold Processed Soaps utilizes ONLY vegetable or coconut oil without any animal fat, and have complete control of its herbal extract oils.

The HERBAL EXTRACT OILS that can be used are Olive, Palm, Grape seed, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Jojoba, Soybean, and Coconut. The BUTTERS that can be used are Shea and Cocoa.

The Herbal Extract Oil and Butter are mixed with Sodium Hydroxide (LYE) in very exact ratios at certain temperatures. One of the elements used to create bars of soap with chunk full of natural Glycerin.

GLYCERIN is humectants that draw moisture to your skin.

After going through a process called SAPONIFICATION (the pro cess where the oils and the alkali bind) and CURING (solidification process) for a time, HANDCRAFTED SOAPS are the MILDEST and BEST for your skin.

MOST OF THE SOAPS in the market are NOT ACTUALLY soap – it is a DETERGENT BAR (sometimes, it is called BEAUTY BARS on the packaging because is it not true soap) made with SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS such as SODIUM DODECYLBENZENE-SULFONATE (a HARSH synthetic detergent that can irritate the skin and cause vomiting if swallowed).

MOST OF THE BEAUTY BARS are made with BEEF FAT (tallow), which is heated to very high temperatures to speed up the saponification process so, they can SELL THEIR SOAP AS SOON AS IT IS MADE without letting it cure.

What is the difference between COMMERCIAL SOAPS (Hot Processed) and HANDMADE SOAPS (Cold Processed)?

COMMERCIAL SOAP (i.e. Irish Spring, Dove, Palmolive, Safe Guard, Body Shop soap) is manufactured by using a Hot Process Method.

During the hot process, oils and alkali are boiled together for a period of time to create saponification.

During the boiling, the SOAP BY-PRODUCT and GLYCERIN separate.

Usually the GLYCERIN is SEPARATED and SOLD. The remaining SOAP MIXTURE is then formed into bars.

Since the soap mixture is boiled for such a long time, the oils in the hot soap process tend to go RANCID. So to counter the rancidity, CHEMICALS are ADDED to keep it FRESHER for LONGER SHELF LIFE.

The Cold Process Method of production where oils are mixed just to the melting temperature and mixed with an alkali to create saponification. It is then poured into molds, cooled down, and then cut and cured for approximately one week.

Because cold process soaps RETAIN their naturally-occuring glycerin, and natural herbal extract oils are not boiled, they DO NOT NEED TO BE ADDED WITH CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES.

Why do MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES prefer NOT to make cold processed soap?

The SHELF LIFE of handmade soap is SHORTER and the COST of making it is HIGHER due to the glycerin content, essential oils and high-priced ORGANIC INGREDIENTS.

An added fact, it is LABOR INTENSIVE because it needs a lot of SPACE for the SLOW PROCESS of CURING.

Is there GLYCERIN in our soap?

YES!

Our COLD PROCESSED SOAP retains its naturally-occurring glycerin created by the saponification process.

Can our soap BE USED for SENSITIVE SKIN?

In general, INDIVIDUALS who are sensitive to chemical fragrances, preservatives and chemical colors find COLD PROCESSED SOAPS EASIER AND SAFER TO USE.

Sharing the gift of Youthful Beauty – Olay Regenerist launches new Super Cream

On average, women all over the world spend $10 billion a year on beauty products, with luxury anti-ageing creams on the market ranging from $100 to as much as $1,500. Yet at the recently held in-store holiday launch of Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream in SM Makati, family and friends enjoyed the gift of firmer, younger-looking skin for less than $30 or at Php1,299! This delighted shoppers who have often paid tens of thousands in their search for a cream that works.

The launch spread Olay Regenerist’s message that super creams don’t have to be super expensive, like some pricier premium creams. The internationally, multi-awarded Micro-Sculpting Cream promises to give skin the benefits of a firmer, tighter look without a facelift*. It keeps skin hydrated longer, outperforming 32 of the world’s most expensive creams – even the $350+ one – at a fraction of the price!

A study conducted by an independent third-party research laboratory in the UK specializing in testing the efficacy of cosmetic products, pitted Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream against some of the world’s most premium creams and measured which kept skin moisturized and hydrated longer.

Moisturization is especially important in keeping skin firm, plump and smooth. There are two factors that affect the firmness of skin – Collagen, which provides structural support for our skin, and turgor. Turgor is the volume and shape of our skin cells. Cells with good turgor have a full volume and shape, leading to firm, smooth skin.

Hydration is essential to maintaining healthy skin turgor yet our ability to keep skin moisturized declines with age. Our skin’s level of hyaluronic acid, called ‘nature’s moisturizer’, recedes as we get older, leading to sagging, unevenly textured skin.

In the study, skin hydration levels were tested at baseline and after 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours. Products tested were among the most expensive daily moisturizers from the UK, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy, many of which are also available here in the Philippines.

Results from the test showed that Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream provided significantly higher levels of skin hydration versus all of the prestige moisturizing creams it was tested against even after 12 and 24 hours.

The new Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream addresses both collagen and turgor loss with Olay’s highest level of Amino-Peptide Complex.  This includes the amino-peptides pal-KTTKS

that regenerates collagen, and Carnosine, which is also known as a potent anti-oxidant  to protect skin’s collagen from UV rays and free radicals.

It also contains Hyaluronic Acid, which forms a 3-dimensional meshwork on the skin’s surface to draw moisture into individual cells, helping to restore skin turgor.

This potent combination allows the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream to give women the benefits of firmer skin in as fast as four days, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and making skin smoother and plumper, for that look of sculpted youth.

This super cream has already enjoyed worldwide success. In the US, the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream became the no. 1 anti-ageing cream just six months after its launch. A continent away, word of its phenomenal benefits resulted in a waiting list of 20,000 women eagerly anticipating its arrival in the United Kingdom. In Australia, it was sold out in a matter of weeks.

Jia Salindong, Country Marketing Manager for Olay, remarked, “We are very happy to finally bring the much-awaited Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream here in the Philippines. As you know, many premium creams cost tens of thousands of pesos – that’s an extremely high price to pay for beauty and so the benefits only become exclusively available to a select few!”

“But we want Filipinas to know that super creams don’t need to be super expensive! Olay Regenerist’s Micro-Sculpting Cream outperformed over 30 such creams by keeping skin moisturized for longer. Now Filipinas can have the superior results and luxury experience they are looking for without the expensive price tag.  And in this one-day special holiday launch, they can even share this experience with friends and family,” Salindong said.

In tune with the holiday spirit, shoppers who purchased the new Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream along with a friend received another bottle of this new Super Cream as a gift they for their friend.  So for those lucky ones who were able to catch the special holiday launch at SM Makati, youthful beauty was a gift shared with loved ones.

At only P1,299 (SRP), the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream proves that the price of firmer, youthful beauty doesn’t have to be so steep.

A super cream is coming to town as Olay Regenerist launches its internationally, multi-awarded Micro-Sculpting Cream in the Philippines. Sold out when it launched in the US, UK and Australia, this cream gives skin the benefits of a firmer, tighter look without a facelift*. It keeps skin hydrated longer, outperforming 32 of the world’s most expensive creams – even the $350+ one – at a fraction of the price!

There are two factors that affect the firmness of our skin – Collagen, which provides structural support for our skin, and Turgor, which is the normal cellular firmness of our cells caused by the water inside it pressing against the cell wall.  As we age, both of these are compromised resulting in skin becoming less firm and elastic, whilst visible wrinkles and uneven texture become more marked.

Collagen, the protein that provides structural support to the skin, naturally declines with age and the depletion is worsened by damage from environmental factors in the form of free radicals and UV rays.  The result is skin that is less firm, looks duller and reveals more fine lines and wrinkles.

While skin turgor is not often discussed in the world of skincare, it is a property of skin that we recognize instinctively. Good skin turgor occurs when skin cells are well-hydrated, enabling the contents of the cells to expand and attain their full shape and volume. Turgor is best visualized as the difference between a wilted plant and an upright plant.

Plants that are dehydrated lose their turgor, causing the plant to wilt. Likewise, in people, as turgor diminishes, skin becomes less elastic, sagging is accentuated and the skin’s texture becomes uneven – similar to the difference between a grape and a raisin.

Turgor depends on two factors: hydration and a strong skin moisture barrier.  Hyaluronic acid, which is naturally abundant in young skin, is critical for hydration as it can bind up to 1000x its weight in water, giving young skin its soft, plump, and moisturized look and feel.  However, both hyaluronic acid levels and our skin’s moisture barrier decline with age, causing our facial skin cells to lose turgor.

The new Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream contains a potent combination of ingredients that addresses sagging and wrinkles by addressing both collagen and turgor loss.  It contains Regenerist’s highest level of Amino-Peptide Complex which includes 2 amino-peptides – pal-KTTKS that regenerates collagen and Carnosine which is also more commonly known as a potent anti-oxidant that protects skin’s collagen from harmful UV rays and free radicals.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream also contains hyaluronic acid which forms a 3-dimensional meshwork on the skin’s surface to draw moisture into individual cells, therefore helping to restore turgor.

The result: hydration that regenerates the volume and shape of 10 million surface skin cells, lifting skin so that sag-prone areas become firmer, and skin’s surface is more elastic, smoother and plumper, for that look of sculpted youth.

Get the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream before its sold out and give family and friends the gift of firmer, tighter skin this Christmas without the $350+ price tag. Because super creams don’t need to be super expensive.
