Health & Beauty Review

Faceup with Safeguard Dermasense

Pimples come and go.

Sometimes they come back quite often. As the mom of a teenager, I have been tasked to help make some of these unwanted visitors disappear. I remember how it was to be a teenager, how hard it was to deal with peer pressure, bad skin, and feeling insecure about my appearance due to unwanted breakouts.

You have heard of the saying “You feel good when you look good?” Not saying that how you LOOK should ALWAYS determine how you feel about yourself…but if you think about it, you know you feel just a little bit better when you are confident in the skin you are in.

Having skin blemishes, pimples, and even scarring from pimples, can put a damper on how your teen (heck even you-if you have adult acne) feels when going out into the world. Sometimes, your teen might even feel like bad skin can hold them back.

In a recent study, it was found that teens who were prone to acne were more likely to develop a poor self image and low self esteem.

How do we help our kids “Face Up” to these unwanted blemishes? First, it’s important to educate our kids on what causes pimples…knowing what to avoid or what to do in order to protect our children from breakouts.

  • Drink water. Lots of it. Every day.
  • “You are what you eat.” This means:  Stay away from junk food! It’s not good for your body…or for your skin. In general you should try to eat lots of GLOW foods (fruits and veggies) because in essence…they help your skin “glow.”
  • Sleep. Getting the right amount of sleep is essential to healthy skin. 
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Do NOT squeeze any pimples or black heads. (ever, ever, evahhh…)
  • Practice Healthy Habits. Just like we teach our children to wash their hands with soap after using the toilet, before eating, and after coming home from school, we also need to reinforce the idea that washing their face 2x a day is important to stave off acne causing bacteria.

This is where Safeguard Derma Sense can help.

Product Shot- Safeguard Derma Sense

Dermasense comes in both a bar and liquid soap form and is an affordable choice in fighting acne and cleansing sensitive skin. Click on the picture to be taken to the official Safeguard website.

While Safeguard has always been an antibacterial soap that many families have trusted, the original formula is not something I would let Gia use on her face. Face soap is meant to be gentle enough that it will keep your skin clean, but not too harsh that it would leave your skin dry.

The NEW Derma Sense line was specially formulated to address the skin issues caused by adolescent hormonal surges, oily skin, and bacteria. With two different formulas; one for sensitive skin, and one for acne prone skin Derma Sense has visibly improved the appearance of skin in 89% of its daily users.

Safeguard launched their Dermasense line last month, complete with an onstage musical at The PETA Theater called Hashtag: Pimples Anonymous.

I really thought the musical was a cute and original way to depict what many teens go through on a daily basis, if they are affected by acne. But, if you take seriously what they were able to present in this fun and rhythmic way, then you know and understand the depressing effects of how bad skin affects teenagers.

Panelists who answered questions in an open forum after the show: (Left to Right) Maro Torres (Brand Manager, Safeguard), Dr. Marie Pilar Lagdameo-Leuenberger (Fellow of The Philippine Dermatological Society), Dr. Susana A. Estanislao (Counseling Psychologist, De La Salle University Manila), and Jenni Epperson (Celebrity Stylist, Award-Winning Lifestyle Blogger).

Acne can affect any one at any age. However,  the stress of constant breakouts in teens can affect self esteem and in extreme cases may even cause depression. As parents, we influence our children by modeling healthy habits and fostering healthy attitudes . Empowering your teen to #Faceup to acne with confidence, is easy  when neutralizing acne causing bacteria with by washing with Safeguard Derma Sense twice daily.

Thank you Safeguard for inviting me to the launch of the Derma Sense line and for reminding me just how difficult adolescence can be. Being a better parent can sometimes mean something as simple as buying the right soap to help boost your child’s confidence through clear skin.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
