Tan your way through Scrubbing Posted on June 29, 2007 Filed Under Skin Care, Body Care | Leave a Comment One way to get a quick gorgeous tan is through scrubbing. Scrubbing helps exfoliate your skin by means of sloughing off those icky dead skin cells to reveal a healthy glowing skin. And, when dead skin cells are removed, it’ll be easier for the sun to penetrate directly onto your skin, giving you more melanin or skin color. So, if you’re up for an even tan, have a body scrub prior to sunbathing. This may call for a lavish and luscious body scrub session at your favorite spa. But if you’re on budget, you can also have your body scrub right in the comforts of your own home. You can either use a pumice or loofah together with your favorite bath gel; or, simply use a body scrub product that already contain salt or sugar bits, apricot beads, poppy seeds or oatmeal flakes and directly slather it on your skin without having to use a bath cloth or loofah. Be wary when scrubbing since too much rubbing might get a bit abrasive on your skin and may cause redness or irritation. Read more  Read More →

I bought my first bottle in Hong Kong and I am still using it right now. Through its rich cream, you can feel it being absorbed by your skin once you apply it Usually, I use it before applying makeup or before I sleep. People have been raving about this inexpensive beauty find. I am really an avid fan of Olay brand. I love their original moisturizer because it’s more liquid than creamy but this can also do the trick.
