Style Scene: Neutrogena Fine Fairness Launch

Inside the Society Lounge in Makati, bloggers and media people got cozy as the new Neutrogena Fine Fairness line was launched. It was a simple gathering and a mini educational session on how the sun damages the skin and give imperfections to our true complexion.


Bianca Valero, I like your necklace :)


Ladies in waiting (for the program to start) : Shen, Shane, and Shina

No matter how fair or tanned you want to be, the use of sun protection products are vital to maintain beautiful skin. I remember one of my dermatologists told me at how the sun can make acne scars and brown spots darker. That reminds me, I should start using sunblock daily again!

I haven't tried these new products from Neutrogena but they will soon arrive on my doorstep.

The Right Way to Put Sunblock - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch and Ultra Light

A trip to the resort or beach is not complete without your trusted sunblock, unless you want your R&R to turn into a skin disaster. But did you know most of us are not putting on sunblock the right way? Hence, we still come back with sunburned, peeling, and stingy skin. Without the proper protection, the UV rays will ultimately cause skin damage like wrinkles and other skin impurities.


Jaime putting on the right amount of sunblock by using the teaspoon rule

It was only after Neutrogena invited me to their "skin summer camp" at Anvaya Cove that I learned how to put on sunblock properly - with the use of a teaspoon! Here are the proper amount of sunblock to put on your body:

Half a teaspoon for the face, and for arms, neck, chest, back put one teaspoon per body section. For the entire legs, use two teaspoons and don't forget your ears, toes, hands, and fingers. Try this and you will see for yourself how much sunblock we should all be using.



If you don't want to end up looking like an iced cupcake but want complete sun protection, then I recommend the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch sunblock for the body. With other beauty bloggers, we've put it on an instant test. We used the teaspoon rule and it was easily absorbed by our skin and there was no sticky feeling afterwards. I personally went under the sun and on to the beach at 3PM and did not end up toasted :) hurray!


Ready to go under the sun with Neutrogena's UltraSheer Sunblock

For the face, I tried the Neutrogena UltraSheer WaterLight sunblock which is even lighter on the skin than the Dry Touch variant. It felt almost like water and is absorbed fast. If you like putting on some powder after your facial sunscreen, then this one is very nice.



Neutrogena which is made by Johnson & Johnson's has also found a way to protect us from the sun even better with their new technology called Helioplex which stops Avobenzone (the main UV protector) from breaking down.


Anvaya Cove enjoyed best with your favorite sunblock!

So next time you hit the sun and sand, don't forget your sunblock and teaspoon to go with it :)

Summer Make Up - Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer

With more sunny days ahead, not only clothing should be kept light and simple but also your make up! Through the launching of Tameraonline.com, the latest online make up shop to hit the Philippines, I was able to put Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer to the test. This is not available in the Philippines but you can get it from Tameraonline.com, did I tell you that a beauty queen is behind this business? More about that later.

Nothing but the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer, road tested at Tagaytay

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer is more of a tinted moisturizer than a liquid foundation. BUT it covers up blemishes, acne scars, and uneven skin tone very well considering that it is very light. Tip: If you want to cover more areas, just slowly pat that area with more Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer and blend it outwards.

Tameraonline.com - the first and only online cosmetics store in the Philippines

You can apply the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer with your fingers, like how you would apply a regular moisturizer or sunblock. This tinted moisturizer contains SPF 20 and Retinol that can smoothen fine lines. What I noticed though is it really smells like sunblock, perfect for summer! :)

There is no need to apply loose powder after Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer. I have an oily face but the "tint" did not slide at all or made weird cracks whatsoever. It was as if I was wearing nothing but the sunblock my dermatologist gave me. Hence, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer would work even better for people with normal skin. My face looked au naturale and I was happy.
