Simple 3-Step Lip Care Routine With Human Nature Lip Care Products

Hello, everyone! Just want to share with you, girls, my very simple lip care routine with three products I trust from Human Nature. These are the items I purchased months ago but still using up until now. My lips is far from being perfect, they are the most sensitive parts of my body, they do chap and bleed from time to time but I make sure I do these three steps whenever I have to.

FIRST, EXFOLIATE.

I know it's very likely to pick on hanging skin when our lips are chapped and dry so the least we can do is have it the healthy way. I really like Human Nature Lip Scrub in Peppermint because of its awesome moisturizing and smoothening properties. The minty sensation helps soothe broken skin and the scrubs are abrasive enough to slough away all the dead skin cells on my lips without having to cause further damage.

Alternative: Just mix a small amount of raw honey and brown sugar into paste and apply on the lips very gently. Do not overdo as it might irritate your skin rather than do something fulfilling.

SECOND, MOISTURIZE.

I never, ever skip lip balms because my lips are so dry, you can't imagine how much. The color have became uneven because of too much chapping and bleeding caused by lip products itself. This made me skeptical in trying just almost anything on my lips. And because I don't want to compromise how I look during the day, I like using tinted lip balms because it's basically moisture and color in one. If you are looking for one, try this Human Nature Tinted Lip Balm in Flame Tree. They also have flavored lip balms that aren't tinted like the peppermint variant that goes well with the scrub and is also 100% natural.

Alternative: Petroleum jellies are my favorites too!

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, TREAT.

Sometimes, your lips need treatment too just like our facial skin. While we use overnight sleeping mask, why not moisturize your lips while you sleep too? Lip care needs very low maintenance. All you need to have is a reliable product like Human Nature Sunflower Lip Miracle. It soften the skin overnight and helps improve the overall texture of the skin. It does wonders at a very low price.

Alternative: Lip sleeping masks and packs or any deep moisturizing lip balms like Burt Bee's.

And there you have it! All you need is a 3-step routine to maintain a good, less-textured canvas where you put on lipstick so smoothly. Let me know what you do to keep your lips as healthy as possible! Happy blogging!

Avoid Cakey Makeup With Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish
Bought for: P750 | SRP: USD $23 (Around P1200)
Bought from: an online shop

I've had this obsession with scrubs ever since and shouldn't it advertised to be used only at least once or a couple of times every week, I could have given in to the pleasure of scrubbing away dead skin cells on a daily basis. The beads feels so refreshing and smoothing that I can't help noticing how skin's overall texture improves every after use. And with that saying, I have here a tub of goodness which I'm going to talk about today, Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish.

This is the very first product I have tried from Klairs and it made me look forward to trying out more of their products. This didn't exactly give me that perfectly polished skin as assumed because of the name, but I just love how my skin feels super soft, hydrated and clear every time I use this. It makes everything I put on gets absorb easily.

We know for a fact that this sugar polish used to come in a tub with only 60g of product inside and was renewed early 2017. You don't have to use a lot every application but for a product with quite an expensive price tag for budget beauties, it would be nicer to pay for a bit of quantity too. It seems like Klairs heard us after all!

The texture and quality of the scrub made me reminiscent about my D-I-Y sugar scrub--I might do a step-by-step procedure with it and share that with you. I remember using black sugar mixed with some oils and honey for my scrub and it doubles its function as a mask too. The resulting product is quite creamy and the hydration properties of natural oils and fresh honey is really powerful. However, I don't have the whole time in the world, so convenience means a lot. Good thing, I've got this Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish for that fuss-free exfoliation whenever I need it.

Claims

The Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish contains an abundance of black sugar which aids in the removal of dead skin cells and blackheads. It exfoliates dry skin with ease and adds a glossy smooth look to the skin. When seasons change, the skin tends to become a uneven with dry patches that cause makeup to apply unevenly and look “cakey”. Using the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish once a week gives you smooth soft skin perfect for makeup application. 

See even better results by using the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish with the Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil. 

Klairs keeps your skin soft and supple by providing effective exfoliation with deep moisturizing. Its anti-bacterial and anti-aging properties help treat dry, flaky skin.

Packaging 

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish comes in a dark-colored plastic tub with a twist cap, an inner seal and a plastic spatula for hygienic purposes. I love it for it looks very high-end too. The tub and the accompanying box displays all necessary information such as directions, claims and benefits, ingredients and expiry dates. For an eco and vegan-friendly, natural product, it has an amazing shelf life of 3 years.

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The product is dark brown in color--something you expect with sugar scrubs. It has an abundance of black sugar with a combination of emollients that doesn't feel harsh at all and melt on the skin a few seconds after application. The thing with scrubs containing synthetic beads is that they don't melt so we sometimes tend to over-scrub and we know that it's pretty dangerous for the skin as it can cause further damage. Well, too much of something for any aspect isn't good, right?

I love everything about this product's texture--it melts like soft butter on the skin and the melted product seem to double like mask. I usually don't rinse the product yet because I find that the oils it contains hydrate my skin and make it super silky, soft and smooth.

The product has a wee bit of a cooling scent. The scent is not something I really love but it's subtle enough that I don't think those who are sensitive  to scents will find it off-putting in any way.

Performance

I really love this product as it lives up to its promises. The buttery texture removes tough makeups further and all other imperfections such as flaky skin and roughness. After use, your skin really looks clearer and smoother--you  have to fight the urge to touch your skin frequently. It doesn't remove existing blackheads but it helps smoothen out their appearance and prevent further damages on the skin. It is very clear that this product removes dead skin cells effectively as my skin seem to drank straight whatever I put on it.

This product is very mild and non-abrasive so it suits every skin type whether you have dry, combination, oily or sensitive skin. It might be a high maintenance product for me but I don't mind splurging a bit as it made it to my holy grail scrubs!

Human Heart Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub Review

Human Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub

Bought for: Sale at P140 | SRP: P175

Bought from: Human Heart Nature

I have never been fond of using lip scrubs every now and then even though I was born with super dry and chapped lips. I even could count on my fingers those particular days when it felt so firm, soft and smooth without loose skin. Back in the days, I used to make my own lip scrub made with coconut and olive oils, honey and sugar but I got tired of it and decided not to apply any at all. I was given with lip scrubs before which did not make much difference as well and so I was triggered to stop hoping for something impossible.

Just a few months ago, I was spouting how my lips felt so sore (it even bleed) due to dryness and I forgot to bring my pouch a.k.a survival kit with Vaseline on it. I asked for my office mates for something I could put on, (sorry for being so unhygienic but I felt desperate), and Celine told me that I can use her Human Heart Nature Lip Scrub. I did try it and just wow. It feels so soothing and I liked it. I know that one day I'll have to get mine as well and so when it went on sale, I go grabbed one together with their Sunflower Lip Miracle in Mint and Tinted Lip Balm.

99.85% Natural | 12g

Claims

Kissably smooth lips. A genuinely natural exfoliant that gently buffs away dry, dull skin to reveal softer, smoother lips. Sugar crystals lift away skin’s rough top layer while a rich medley of miracle moisturizer sunflower oil, jojoba oil and beeswax softens skin and locks moisture onto your lips. A hint of cool peppermint tops off the experience. Sustainably sourced: with fair trade Philippine raw sugar from Negros. No baddies: Free from parabens and mineral oil. Biodegradable: free from polluting plastic microbeads.

Ingredients, Description, How To Use

Packaging

The product is housed in a small plastic tub with a screw cap that shuts tightly so no product leaks out. Also, the box displays all necessary information such as the ingredient list, description and directions for use for conscious consumers like me. One small jar contains 12g of products inside which is way more than sufficient for lots of uses considering that you only need a very meager amount for every application. Very economical, indeed!

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The product has a sticky/greasy texture which is but fine with me 'cause it leaves me the idea that my lips would feel so supple and well-moisturized after my swiping session which is what my lips call for all the time. The product comprises of sugar and lots of moisturizing extracts such as jojoba, sunflower oils and beeswax as well as peppermint extract to impart a nice, cooling effect, perfect to soothe dry lips in an instant. This lip scrub also isn't so abrasive but mild enough to remove loose skin without pain nor irritation. It is so easy to use and you just have to wipe it off with a clean tissue paper and you're good to go.

Performance

We all know that proper exfoliation is needed to get rid of dead skin cells and loose skin. I am so glad that I have Human Heart Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub to restore soft and smooth skin and with continuous use, I am hoping that I'd get to lose the hyper pigmentation on my lips. I have tried only a few lip scrubs in my life and most of them are made of homegrown ingredients and this is my favorite by far. It is so affordable but feels so rich and jampacked with moisturizing ingredients that I am always looking forward to scrubbing my lips every other day. This scrub does not fail to do its job in keeping lips looking plump and soft, lessen the appearance of dryness on the lips and restore healthy-looking kissers. With this, I am not afraid to wear matte lipsticks anymore.

Overall, for its price, this is a really good local product. I can use it wherever and whenever I want without hassle. Sometimes, when I don't have any tissue paper, I just apply a small amount and leave it as is since the sugar melts off easily and all that's left is a fine sheen on the lips. See, no mess! No need to worry because the product is edible and is safe to use whenever you need a surge of moisture!

Note: Don't lick it as saliva could even cause drier lips!

Skin Care Organic Lip Scrubs in Loco Coco and Rawberry Review

Skin Care Organic Lip Scrubs in Loco Coco and Rawberry, 10g/ea

Bought for: Free | Original Price: P180 for 2

From: Skin Care Organic

Claims: Rescue those dry, rough and dark lips of yours. Using our Kiss Me Lip Scrub will scrub all the toxins clean, only to reveal softer and healthier lips underneath. Goodbye rough, dry, and dark lips and hello to kissable lips! All organic and natural. No harmful chemicals. Non-paraben. Safe and effective skin care. Proudly Philippine Made.

Active Ingredients: Strawberry Extract, Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, Raw Sugar, Blueberry Extract, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Grape Seed Oil.

Directions for use: Apply onto lips, especially arounf tough and dark areas. Leave on for a few minutes and wipe using a cloth, tissue or simply lick it clean. 100% edible!

Our lips, just like our body, needs some serious scrubbing too to get rid of dead skin cells. Scrubbing the lips properly and gently will help improve the appearance of chappy, dry and dark lips eventually. So it's best to invest in lip scrubs that are only made with natural and organic-derived ingredients especially if they are edible and can be taken by the body. Well, I haven't yet encountered lip scrubs that are not a hundred percent edible.

While it's super easy to create your own lip scrub at home with lying-on-the-kitchen ingredients such as sugar and oil, it feels more luxurious to be pampered with readily-made skin care treats that organic shop advocates sell at cheap prices. Skin Care Organic produces their own line of lip scrubs which they sent me recently. It comes in two variants--Loco Coco and Raw Berry.

The product comes in a small plastic jar, transparent enough for you to see how the product looks like inside. I like the sticker layout too and the packaging that's very travel-friendly. It's got 10g of product inside so your P180 for these two lip scrubs is super sulit na (worth it). I imagine that the only difference could be the color (the Loco Coco is sky blue; while the Rawberry is in pale pink). Other than that, formulation and scent are all the same.

The most dominant among the ingredients are the scent of coconut oil, therefore these two smells adorably nutty for me. Just fine. The Raw berry has a faint, barely-there berry scent but it's fine as well.

The formulation is very much different from how I usually formulate my own lip scrub at home, but being a trying hard on chemistry field, I am guilty to admit that SCO Lip Scrubs has a better formulation. HAHA! Of course, they would be. Mine's sticky because of honey and tastes REALLY sweet. But this one has a softer feel on the lips, not irritably abrasive at all with a slightly sweet taste because of the raw sugar.

I like applying this on wet lips, scrubbing away the dead cells (which, by the way, is large in amount because of my super sensitive lips that dries and chaps easily when in contact with strong lipsticks, tint, balms, etc) then patting my lips dry with tissue.

NEVER LICK IT. There's something on our saliva that dries the lips if you happen to notice. So please don't. Just use tissue or cloth to remove un-melted sugar and allow the oil to moisturize your lips. For added moisture, usually I prefer to apply my new fave Etude House Lip Balm on top of my newly-scrubbed lips for a more moisturized layer but I find it not necessary anymore with this lip scrub as it prevents dryness and darkness with continuous use. Yay!

Overall, I like Skin Care Organic Lip in Loco Coco and Rawberry. They are affordable, safe and an effective lip care that treats dark lips which results from constant cosmetic usage. Now I can say hi to smoother, softer and more moisturized kissers all day! Thanks SCO! Happy blogging!

First Impression: Skin Care Organic + Products

It was right on time, and Skin Care Organic (SCO) was releasing new products as part of their skin care collection. It was an opening for me and I was really delighted that Ms. Shai chose me and my social media platforms (and blog) to feature their products on and make reviews. To top that off, they sent me all of their newly-released products for reviews and the quantity was not even a joke. For that, I will always be grateful to my SCO Family for the trust that they have imparted and for being so nice and passionate to other people even when they do not know them personally.

For everyone's information, Skin Care Organic is another booming online shop which generated awareness first on Instagram. They cater mostly to organic-lovers as their products claim to be formulated without parabens, cruelty-free, vegan, safe and organically and naturally-made. To date, you can also find them on Shopee.

'Unboxing' my package was like receiving a Christmas gift for the first time where SCO was my Santa and I am given something that was on my top wishlist. Sparks fly and all I can't think of was having a delectable bath time and essentials. They were a complete bath time buddies with soaps and scrubs, I suddenly wish I could use all of them all at the same time. Keep reading if you wish to see the haul!

Coffee Latte Body Scrub 300g, P350

Strawberry and Cream Body Scrub 400g, P350

The scrubs come in huge plastic bottles that would surely last you a long time. They smell so irresistibly good, you'll be tempted to devour them right there and then. But of course, do not dare. They jut intend to slough off dead skin cells, not satisfy hunger. Lol.

Goat's Milk Oatmeal She Butter Soap 120g, P150

Eucalyptus Peppermint Soap 120g, P150

Fairest of Them All 120g, P150

Green Tea + Tea Tree Soap 120g, P150

Pineapple Lemon Soap 120g, P150

Cocoon Soap 100g, P180

These soaps are super cute! I never seen soap cut wider in length and narrower in width. Usually, it's a balance. But with the growing number of shop competition on IG, packaging becomes part of the criteria. Good thing, I bet SCO competes well in that field.

Rawberry Lip Scrub 10g, P180/2PCS

Loco Coco Lip Scrub 10g, P180/2PCS

To be honest, it's gonna be my first time trying out lip scrubs that is not a DIY project of mine so I'm really looking forward to a road-testing session! They do not just look and smell so inviting but they are 100% edible too!

Ughhh, so stoked to try everything out. Just wait for my review of each product soon and stay tuned! By the way, they have this promo to slash away P20 to ALL items so...you now know what to do huh! Til my next post! Happy blogging!
