My Current Favorite "BASIC" Beauty Products!

We all have basic beauty products we can’t live without, these are some of mine. All tried and tested and are truly loved! I make sure I have backup stock in case they are discontinued. Read on and prepare to be hooked too! 


1. DR. WOODS Lavender Castile Soap- Last year I stopped using soap bars for cleansing and bathing because I read somewhere that regular soap bars strip away natural moisture from the skin making it age faster! I looked into liquid soap options and discovered this! I fell in love! 

Dr. Woods Shea Vision Soothing Lavender Castile soap is amazing! Its pH-balanced formula is the perfect combination of essential and vegetable oils, resulting in a nice, vitamin-E-rich lather that won't dry your skin out while you use it! It's gentle, moisturizing and smells great! It can also be used as a shampoo, face wash and as an all around cleanser. AMAZING!!
DR. WOODS LAVENDER CASTILE SOAP- I am on my fourth bottle! The MINT version smells great too! Sold at P295 each at all Healthy Options stores.









2. Vaseline Spray and Go MOISTURIZER- This product is perfect for those who like me are always in a hurry! I use to always skip applying lotion because it took so long to dry and I'm too lazy to rub it all over my body. This product made daily moisturizing a breeze! I'm excited to use it everyday since it's so easy to apply, dries fast and my skin is so soft and moisturized the whole day. It smells amazing too, very much like sweet coconuts!

It really is as easy as spritzing the light weight milky liquid over your body, quickly rub it in and then get dressed. Gone are the days of waiting around for a greasy lotion to sink into the skin! I plan to repurchase forever! :)
Now I no longer dread applying lotion-- I love it!! I got my first bottle from Clark Pure Gold and the rest I got from S&R, sold at P399 each.
3. KIEHL'S Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion exfoliating cream. Exfoliators are my passion I've tried so many and very, very rarely do I come across one that really blows me away. But this one got me hooked and now I know the search is over!

It's an advanced polishing cream with effective gentle exfoliating quality. The skin texture feels significantly smoother and clearer after you use it. It will also help reduce the appearance of facial lines and discolorations.

Squeeze a small amount of the crushed micro shells into the palm of your hand, then using your fingertips apply in circular upward and outward movements to clean wet skin. They recommend that you massage for 30 secs, but no more than two minutes or until you achieve the desired effect. Rinse with cool water and gently pat dry. Avoid the eye area, but this product can also be used on the neck, decollete, elbows, hands and back. I experimented on all these areas and it works amazingly well!

The only drawback is the price! Sold at P2,800++ per tube. A single tube will last around 12-15 months. :) Each and every time I use it my skin feels extremely polished, invigorated, smoother, brighter-- simply put my skin felt great! It’s very important to maintain the natural health of your skin; otherwise, soon enough there will be nothing to peel away. So use it only at most once a week! Don't forget to use sunblock everyday too!
As the name suggests, this treatment is supposed to mimic the dermatological procedure of microdermabrasion, during which upper layers of the skin are being removed by an abrasive material. You’ll be able to see and feel the results immediately!
