Cleanse Without Drying Your Skin Out With the New Jergens Mild Soap and Anti-Bacterial Soap

Hello dears!

Looking for a new soap to try that not only cleanses but also moisturizes? Then you might like this news from one of the best well-known moisturizing skincare brands—Jergens. 

This kit arrived in our mail two days ago and even I was surprised with this newest addition to the brand's skincare line.

Since I was a kid, I've always thought of Jergens as a brand you can use when you have dry and sensitive skin because that's what my mom told me while growing up. From time to time, I see bottles of Jergens lotion on the shelves in her bedroom that she buys or were gifts from balik-bayan friends. So yeah, Jergens is a familiar brand that have been in our household for a long time now and it's great to know that the brand continues to innovate their products as well as introduce new ones just like these two soaps. Read the press release below:

Cleanse Without Drying Your Skin Out

Take bathing to a whole new level with the new collection of Jergens Cleansers!

The moisturizer brand that has been dedicated to helping women achieve smooth and

glowing skin just introduced Jergens Mild Soap and Jergens Anti-Bacterial Soap.

 These variants provide gentle but highly effective body cleansing without stripping away the essential moisture of the skin

Jergens Anti-Bacterial Soap
cleans, moisturizes and leaves skin feeling clean and fresh as it fights bacteria and removes dirt.

(sidenote: I like that they include the ingredients list as well as the manufacturing date and batch number)

Jergens Mild Soap
cleans and freshens with mild cleansers and a pH-balanced formula. It’s perfect for sensitive skin.

Both bar soaps protect the skin from harmful microorganisms and keep it from drying. They come in 135g and 90g packs and are budget friendly. Their clean, mild scent, makes them perfect for use of the whole family.

“Clean skin is the foundation of a simple but effective beauty regimen. First, take a shower using mild, cleansing soap that is not harsh on the skin like Jergens. Then hydrate skin and seal in the moisture by applying moisturizers after you shower.

Jergens Moisturizers with its unique Hydralucence™ blend protect the skin and keep it soft, moist and glowing. Just slather it on,” says Hillarie, Jergens Ambassador. Be beautiful from head to toe with Jergens!

I've only used the Mild Soap and what I can say is it is mild. My skin feels clean without stripping away moisture. I also love its powdery clean scent that lingers on skin for a few minutes. :)

I really recommend you check them out! :)

 Jergens Bar Soaps and Moisturizers are distributed in the Philippines by Vibelle Distribution Inc. and are available in leading department stores, supermarkets and retailers nationwide.

Jergens: Hydrating Coconut Lotion Launch

A good day to you ladies,

Last week, Jergens launched it's newest addition to it's classic line-up of body lotions and even included great tips to achieving that beautiful glowing skin.

It has been awfully hot the past few months, and even though it's the "ber" months, I think everyone will agree that there is less 'burr' in the air than there is 'ang init'. Of course, weather has a big impact on our health. Aside from the usual increase in number of heat strokes, flu cases and what not, the first and most obvious part of our body affected by the weather is our skin. So taking care of our body and skin is a must for every one, and this was the precise topic up discussed during the event.

Jergens had invited Ms. Mara Aquino and Ms. Erica Padilla to talk about their line of work, how they gain confidence in their work, and how they take care of their body and skin. I shall summarize the points which they have given.

On their work

Both of the lovely ladies are court side reporters. Ms. Aquino had previously lived in Canada and was offered the job soon after she had just relocated to the Philippines. Ms. Padilla on the other hand, is an actress and had also landed the job sometime in between.

On confidence on the job.

Ms. Aquino advises, knowing what you are doing. Put effort into researching and knowing what your trade is. If you know your stuff you'll gain that confidence.

Ms. Padilla then talks about how to gain confidence when they're suddenly put on the spot, which in their line of work happens more often than not. She says that she draws a lot from her experiences in acting: always keep your cool, be creative, and always say it with a smile. Smiling and saying things with conviction will get you through.

Both of them also agree that taking care of your body and health also adds to your confidence. When your body is good and you feel healthy and fresh, it gives a positive vibe. This then translates into your attitude while on the job, it keeps stress levels low and energy high, and when you're like this, you will always feel invincible and eventually translating to confidence.

Lastly, on taking care of the body

Keeping that glowing radiance, is not easy. These two lovely ladies, take care of their body in different ways; Ms. Aquino's exercise is martial arts and Ms. Padilla's is yoga. I know most of us will say, but it's too much work and too time consuming, to which Ms. Padilla answers, you have to make time. With their busy schedules, they always allot time for work outs. The trick is, to motivate yourself and know why you want to do it. The next would be to not be intimidated by the difficulty level, start slow and start at your own pace. In this way, you'll know your own body's limitations and strengths.

Second, eat right and hydrate. Most individuals take for granted the wonders of a right balanced diet and just goes for exercise but these two go hand in hand. A complete healthy regimen is not purely 3x/week at the gym, or running, or yoga. Eating right should come with it. Another beauty secret that's taken for granted is drinking tons of water. A good hydrated body keeps the circulation working like a well oiled machine and keeps high blood at bay, especially in hot weather.

Third, if you want your skin to stay young and supple, then feed it as well. Of course, hygiene is and will always be the first order of the day, so remember to be thorough in removing all the products that you've put on at the end of the day (i.e. make-up). Go really bare with your skin, then start nourishing it with products you trust, and know that each area of your skin is different and you need to tailor what you apply accordingly. The best time to put them on is immediately after showering, when your pores are clean and open and the moisture is just resting on top of your skin. Applying lotions, like Jergens, will help lock that moisture in the skin and protect it from the drying elements of both hot and cold weather.

Lastly, these are only tips to help you protect your skin before damage sets in, but when there already is a problem, they advise still seeing your dermatologist. Of course, no amount of application of products will help if the problem is pathologic and should be seen by an expert.

As culmination of all these advice, Jergens set-up a hydration station, filled with juices that are infused with flavors of the ingredients they use for their signature lotions.

They also set-up a consultation station, with a dermatologist, 

 Here's my sister taking advantage. :)

and a nutritionist.

The event was then opened to the public as well for them to try.

Aside from that, Jergens also gave a workshop for people to discover (and rediscover) the art and beauty of calligraphy (or typography).

It was a crash course of sorts, with instructors showing you the basic strokes. They even have a guide for you to use.

Unfortunately, I am NOT the artistic side of the peachypinksisters, so many sorry to Dawn about my measly lettering.

Even the goodies they gave stress the importance of eating right,

hydration and exercise, 

(I believe the shirt is a great gym/workout shirt, hence)

 and skin nourishment.

Here is their new addition the hydrating coconut. I will be trying this out so expect a full review in the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Challenge Accepted—Jergens' 7-Day Challenge

Hello loves!

I'm on a mission. And it will run for the next seven days. Curious to know more? Well I certainly am!!! I just received this package from Jergens last Monday and I can't wait to start!

I was sent a challenge to complete a mission daily for seven days. They will be sending me an email or SMS for that particular day regarding my quest and I will be updating this post everyday regarding the progress of my missions.

But what is inside the Jergens kit? Well, take a look at these beauties.

These items are the tools I'll be using to complete each challenge. Interesting, right? 

It's been a while since I last used Jergens and I can't wait to try them out again and have more beautiful, healthier looking skin!

So tune in tomorrow to see what happens! Get updates regarding my journey by checking this post daily! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION 1

RADIATE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN

For your first mission, we want you to radiate beauty from within.  Take a bottle of Jergens from your welcome pack and share it with a complete stranger. Tell us why you chose that person and share with us her reaction when she received your gift, and post a photo of her with her Jergens bottle.

 I was supposed to do this mission yesterday but I was already at work when I received the mission and didn't bring the bottle with me. I had work during the day and a class in the graduate school until 9pm so I got home late already and quite tired because of the long day. So today, I made sure that I have my bottle of Jergens with me so that I can walk by the streets of España and find the person who I can give the product to to brighten up his/her day.

I was thinking of giving the bottle to one of our lady guards but I didn't see one during our lunch break. So I just went out of the campus and saw Ate Carmen. She's one of the vendors we often go to to buy drinks and snacks. I usually bring my baon so I rarely buy food from her but she's really nice. My officemates told me that she even let's them make "utang" or just let them get the food and pay her later. How can you not be a loyal customer? Haha!

Anyway, I think she deserves a nice treat and so I chose her to receive the bottle of Jergens that I have. :D

Ate Carmen with her new bottle of Jergens Age Defying Lotion

I approached Ate Carmen and gave her the product. She was surprised and happy to receive the lotion. I asked if I could take her picture and she was so "game" to pose for the camera. It seems like she was really happy to receive this gift and I also am glad that I am the one who gave it to her. This really gave me a warm feeling inside because I made someone's day happier, especially since the season of giving is right around the corner.

Hope you enjoy your Jergens Lotion, Ate Carmen! And I hope you get that healthier, more beautiful skin! :D

And that makes my first mission COMPLETE! I am so ready to receive my next one!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION 2

LEFT vs RIGHT

Apply the new Jergens only on your Left arm and leave the right arm bare for the meantime.  Take a photo of both arms, comparing the two and tell us your observations. 

The second mission is pretty easy. I just took my Jergens Daily Moisture Lotion and applied it on my left arm. Below is the picture of how my arms look like.

Left: with the Jergens Daily Moisture Lotion

Right: bare arms

These are my observations after I applied the lotion:

- It smells really GOOD!

- The lotion is thick but once it dries and gets absorbed on skin, it doesn't feel sticky.

- I don't think I suffer from dry skin but after application, my left arm just feels smoother and softer instantly.

And that's ends my mission! Challenge number 2 is complete!!! YATTA!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION 3

KEEP HYDRATED

Water is good for your body and helps keep your skin healthy and looking young as well.  Drink only water for today using your Jergens tumbler.  Post photos with a time stamp every time you do a refill.

This mission is pretty easy. I'm currently on a diet and I've cut down the amount of food I usually eat. I drink a lot of water so that I don't get hungry fast so I always have a glass of water next to me.

That's why I'm happy that I got a new tumbler from Jergens too! I have a new drinking buddy! Haha! Anyway, here are the photos I took of the tumbler whenever I refill it with water. :D

 I woke up late but when I had breakfast, I drank 3 tumblers full of water. 

 Lunch time but still quite full since I ate breakfast late so I drank only water. :P

It's a hot day today! It's a must to drink plenty of water!

 After dinner, did a couple of refilling again. 

 Finally, probably my last tumbler of water for today! :P

It's important to drink the right amount of water! It keeps your body healthy and also makes you look better! ;) When you're hydrated, you feel and look younger! 

And that makes my third mission COMPLETE! Wooot!

MISSION 5

HEALTHY HABITS

A healthy diet is needed to keep your body strong and your skin beautiful. Share with us a family recipe using  ingredients that are good for the skin.

(Tip of the day: Jergens Moisturizers work hand in hand with a healthy diet and exercise in keeping your skin stunningly beautiful. Apply your favorite Jergens variant twice a day to reveal your most beautiful skin)

Hmm... I don't think I have learned any "family recipe" because we grew up with our kasambahay's cooking. My mom was very busy to cook for us so we didn't get to learn much of the food her parents and siblings used to eat. But that doesn't mean we (my sibs and I) don't cook. We actually love experimenting with food. We usually check recipes online or read cook books then add a little personal touch on some of our cooking. Here's one that I love to cook because it's fast to do, healthy (I think), and delicious!

Tomato-Eggplant Pasta

Things you'll need:

(We're not pretty strict on the measurements, it's always a trial-and-error for us. Haha!)

6 tablespoons Olive Oil

2-3 tomatoes

1-2 eggplant/s cut into squares

3 garlic cloves (I tend to add more because I like mine garlic-y)

Salt and pepper to taste

Finely chopped basil

Optional: Cheese (Feta but you can also try cheddar for a saltier and creamier taste)

Optional: Spanish Sardines or Tuna

Optional: Cayenne Pepper

1/4 kilo pasta (spaghetti)

Cook the pasta by boiling it with salt and oil. Add the tomatoes in the boiling pot and remove them once they start to look like it's gonna explode! Haha! Kidding! Just remove them when the skin starts to peel.

On a frying pan, heat your olive oil then add the garlic. Toss in your eggplants and stir until it gets a little soft. Then add your tomatoes and squish them so the juice will come out. Add the basil and the other optional ingredients such as cheese and the sardines or tuna. Just add salt and pepper depending on how you like it. If you like it spicy like I do, you can also add some cayenne!

Finally, toss in the cooked pasta and mix them together!

Easy as 1, 2, 3! Yay! 

I'm not sure if this is to your liking because this is just one of our experiments but so far, all the people who have tried it liked it (I hope). Haha! The ingredients are simple and easy to find and we all know that tomatoes are good for the skin because it's rich in lycopene. So I hope you'll like this in case you've tried it out. :D

And mission 5 is now COMPLETE! Yayyy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION 6

NURTURE RELATIONSHIPS

Something's in the mail! We're sending you Cabalen GCs—use them to treat your mom or your fave gal pal to a surprise lunch or dinner.

(Tip of the day: As you nurture relationships, nourish your skin as well for a beauty that radiates inside and out.)

 Yesterday, when I got home, I did get something from the mail and those were the GC's for the sixth mission!

So I talked to my mom right away and asked her if she wanted to dine out the next day. We both have work the whole day that day so we agreed to meet late in the afternoon and go eat dinner at Cabalen, West Ave., Quezon City.

Since the price for each person is only Php 298.00, we decided to bring along my bro. It became a family bonding! Now I miss my sis who's out of the country. It would've been nice if we were all having dinner out!

And that's us after stuffing ourselves with Filipino cuisines. It's been a while since I ate at Cabalen (like 10 years?) and I still like their Crispy Kangkong. I enjoyed their desserts as well! So if you want to go and eat your heart out at a buffet full of Filipino food but have a tight budget, then why not try it here at Cabalen? It's a good and affordable place to eat out with your friends and family. :)

And that's my 6th mission! Yay! One more to go before I complete all challenges! Yayyy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION 7

THE FINISH LINE

Look for an old full body photo of yourself taken in the last 3 months. Then, take a new photo in the exact same pose, this time holding the Jergens variant that you have been using n the past 7 days.

Oh dear. This is supposed to be an easy task but I've been browsing my photos both in my laptop and my phone and I just don't have any full-body shots. I guess I just don't like seeing how big I am. Haha! Anyway, I do hope that these photos I posted are okay.

So I tried to copy my smile as much as I can. I do have much more makeup on the older photo though. 

The variant I am holding is the Jergens Daily Moisture Lotion which I use twice daily. What I can say about this is that it really does hydrate your skin. My skin feels soft and smooth after application. This is thick in consistency but it's not sticky once it gets absorbed by the skin, which doesn't take a while at all. I also like the smell of Jergens products so I just love how I smell before I start the day and before I go to bed.

And my seventh and final mission is COMPLETE! Yay! I'm glad I was able to accomplish all of the seven challenges. The whole experience was fun and I'm glad I rediscovered how good Jergens is in achieving that smooth, soft, and healthy-looking skin!

Cheers,
DAWN
