Filipina Beauty Products - Do you use any? Recommend?

[KeithD]

Question for the girls... unless your the hubby and a bit weird

[raynaputi]

For my face: I use Dermaveen Soap Free Wash (http://www.dermaveen.com.au/cleansin...oap-free-wash/) and a pore minimizer/acne and pimple toner (bought from my derma)..then just Johnson & Johnson powder or face powder. I don't wear makeup (well i don't know how to anyways) and just use Philosophy Kiss Me Emolient Lip Ointment (a lip balm that prevents cracked lips - http://www.philosophy.com/web/store/...-me______25596) for my lips.

For my body: I use Johnson & Johnson body wash and Nivea lotion or Vaseline lotion.

calamansi

Isn't that a type of squid

[Ross]

not really boss am sure not octopus though anyway it is local or shall we say similar to lemon it just the color of calamansi is green and smaller like grapes some bigger at times

[burdock]

Jonalyn uses a whitener cream, which I find very strange. I tell her most girls here paying loads to have a nice tan and would kill to be her colour(maybe it a girl thing)

[liane]

I am using a facial wash and night cream prescribed by my derma.

Calamansi/ philippine lemon is used to even out skin color (whiten dark areas ) without spending too much.

the only filipina beauty products i use is my emma , she makes me glow and feel so refreshed the moment i wake and see her smilling at me

[rani]

[stevewool]

[DavidArt]

when im in phil i use tawas hehehehehe! so before i came here i bring some of it ! but im run out now so using now DOVE i still miss tawas though hehehehehe

[KeithD]

Women do know they use animal parts in some of this beauty stuff? And we are not talking what you find down the local butchers here

calamansi is a tropical fruit, much alike of your lime only smaller.
I think you meant the calamares.

Yes calamansi is very good for the skin, you can squeeze one and leave it on your skin.

[raynaputi]

u can use calamansi to whiten ur underams they say coz it whiten dark areas..but dont use it after plucking the underarm hair coz it's "mahapdi"!!! Hahahaha..

though it's best to wax the hair off the underams..prevents chicken skinned underarms, doesnt make the skin dark, and hair doesnt grow fast..

[KeithD]

English guys like women's underarms to look like an afro....

[stevewool]

you might, i once went out with a girl with underarm hair and she looked like she had don king in a shoulder lock

When the Wife came to the UK she brought her papya soap and still uses it everyday

But like you when in her first year we were invited to my sisters wedding she was most worried about doing her own makeup, which she practiced with a friend before hand and made notes!! now less than 5 years later she is an accounts major for a very well known make up company and from what her friends says is an expert in all things make up

One thing we did find out at great cost is some Phill beauty products dont seem to have the same affect maybe its the weather, diet or tap water (hard or soft water?)? The wife often found for the UK Brit products worked far better and phill ones back home..

[KeithD]

..... some Phill beauty products dont seem to have the same affect ....

That'll be because the voodoo spell doesn't work outside Asia

[malditako]

papaya soap does work on my husband...when we were in the philippines he said to me ...it seems that im getting white rather than brown here then i asked him what soap u are using when taking a shower?..he said the one u got the orange one..hahaha!!! bingo )

[stevewool]

why is it that emma over there like most women was buying this soap that was tryingh to make you white , and i dont mean a tin of white emulsion anyone, i think if most men on here was to say we prefure you dark skin stay they way you are because you are all beautiful

[stevie c]

couldnt agree with you more stevewool my florsel is always complaining she is too dark but i have finally convinced her thats what makes her so beautifull
