Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash Review

When I tried the Pantene 3 Minute Miracle, I saw the results immediately (Related Post: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner Review). When I received a Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash sample, I was hesitant to try it. For one, my OCD won’t let me interrupt my Korean skin care routine (related post: 10 Things You Need To Know About The 10 Steps Korean Skincare Routine). Another thing, takot ako sa dry skin! I am just afraid that it will dry up my skin to the point of breaking ala lupa sa bukirin na sampung taong walang irigasyon. Lastly, it will take some time before I can come up with a truthful review. TIME. big word.

So what made me try it finally? Ang kulit ni Sati eh! Ang dami ko daw red dots! >> ma issue ang bata!

Safeguard Derma Sense promises to:

help provide noticeable acne reduction
helps remove acne causing germs and excess oil

I have been using it for more than two weeks already and though my face is still not acne free, I noticed that when an acne appears it dries out easily. I also noticed that acne appearance is lesser. Unlike before, when it usually appears in 3, ngayon solo kayod na lang siya!

Photo timeline: one week. left is before, right is after

Dryness test. It can be drying.. but not the kind of dryness I am expecting. Most facial wash would dry up a 30ish face naman so it didn’t bothered me at all. I suggest that you use a moisturizer after using it. As for me, I just replaced my wash with Safeguard Derma Sense from my routine. I will continue to use it as long as I can see that my acne’s becoming lesser (and smaller) as the day goes by.

Here’s what I do not like about Safeguard Derma Sense, the consistency of the wash is too watery. I always end up with soap on my mouth (eh ang panget ng lasa). The smell is strong too. If it is for body only, the smell is OK but for the face where the nose is, aah it can be overwhelming. I wish they have a facial wash version of Safeguard Derma Sense, since it usually has thicker consistency.

Ay Wait! While checking Safeguard Philippines Facebook Page, meron na palang facial wash:

Naguluhan ako bigla sa bagong kaalaman.. nawala lahat ng nasa isip kong dapat kong isulat.. inhale.. exhale.. inhale..exhale..

Ay wala na talaga! Ayaw na nila bumalik!

To end this review, ang tanong, Do I recommend Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash? YES! Use it on your back or chest where acne also appears but for the face, I suggest let’s give the Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser a try.

Birthday 2015

Age are just numbers, they always say that. But hello! It’s not just numbers no. Wrinkles, dry skin, dry hair comes with age! I am not this skin and hair obsessed woman a few years back but being on your 30’s, you learned about the science behind elasticity and dryness.

But thank goodness for products like Pantene 3 Minute Miracle and Skin routines like the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine, we can slow down the wrinkles!

So I turned 33.. and if I can giveaway some of the products that I use and love, I would. But I don’t have that much resources no. Good thing, Pantene was on sale (for a very very quick moment) at Zalora and I hoard! Not just for myself but for my readers too! And I got to buy a discounted The Spa GC from a friend.

Funny thing, the amount of GC I bought for the mini giveaway came back to me double (more than double actually).. nakakatuwa talaga.. kaya Mga mare maraming salamat!

You know how much I love sharing my blessings.. so instead of just 4 recipients for my birthday blowout.. I am giving away 6 prizes!

The Spa GC worth 1000 PhP
The Spa GC worth 500 PhP
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml

So before the much awaited winners reveal.. let me tell you about my birthday celebration first.

Our initial plan was to dine at Taal Vista for lunch. I bought some vouchers (yes I’m cheap like that! wahaha) last year and totally forgot about it. I just discovered that the voucher is already past its redemption period. We still went to Tagaytay and dine at Bag of Beans..which I still question myself why? of all places! Think whatever you think but Bag of Beans is never the same.. the homey feel? asan na iyon? The place is not like it was supposed to be (in my mind). I always think of Bag of Beans a secret garden. ay nag rant? Anyways, the place is still ma- ambiance and perfect for picture taking:

If you have plans of dinning at Bag of Beans, this is the most “secluded” area, near the entrance of the indoor restaurant.

That corner is perfect for “I just woke up”/ “I woke up looking like this” photo ops.

You might be wondering why I never posted a pic with the husband.. aaah he’s not just into pictures (a great dilemma every time the school asks for a family picture!). Since it’s my birthday, he obliged with a few shots! Whatever Dad! Whatevs!

We want to eat at Carlo’s Pizza for their buffalo wings but our tummy’s not cooperating, too much hot choco from Bag of Beans! But as usual, our Tagaytay trip is not complete without Buko Pie from The Original Buko Pie.

The husband asked me to run some bank errands at Megamall after our Tagaytay trip. It’s a Sunday so the only bank opened are the ones at SM. It’s my birthday pero mega utos? Binigyan naman ako ng kaunting pang shopping..

Shopping pala ha!

I came home to this:

So it was his way of keeping me busy to prepare for their birthday surprise!

Now, for your SURPRISE!

Thank you to all those who greeted me and took time doing so.. This is all for FUN so please do not question me why I choose this and not your entry. Walang samaan ng loob OK?

The complete version! Thank you again and again! Visit the blog for the birthday blowout prizes 🙂 #HappyBirthdayMommyPehpot
