Tonight is the first time I’m trying out the Skin Talk Light Peel Duo. I am committing to this because Skin Talk is a Davao product and it promises to be a very good but affordable all in one skin care product. The Skin Talk Light Peel Duo is a two product system with four major functions:

• Sun Protection
• Acne Treatment
• Whitening
• Age Defying

All for the affordable price of only PhP450.

1. Cleanse
2. Tone
3. Moisturize

On Day 1 of the Basic Make Up Workshop at the Fashion Institute of Design and Arts (FiDA), our instructor, Archie Tolentino of Maybelline Philippines, emphasized the use of bases. Bases are foundations, concealers, and powders in their different forms, formulations, and finishes.

Foundation serves to make the skin look flawless and even. Concealers serve to hide imperfections. And powders give the over all look an even, polished finish, helping to set the foundation and the concealer.

Archie gave a demonstration on how to conceal eyebags using these bases. And I was the lucky one to have been demonstrated on. (I only slept for two hours the night before the workshop). To even out the skin surface and color on my eyebags, Archie deposited, by pressing with the appropriate concealer brush, some cream foundation on the lines of my eyebags. He used cream foundation, matching my skin color, as the concealer to hide the lines and discoloration on my eyebags. After which, he blended the cream foundation (acting as concealer) around the surrounding areas so it would look smooth on my skin. And not as a streak of color.

I have been lacking sleep, proper food intake, and rest. But amazingly my skin is doing fine. In high school and college, I had too many pimples, blackheads, and my skin was too oily. I have tried a lot of facial cleansers and washes but this last one really made my skin behave. I have been using the Neutrogena Deep Clean Energizing Foaming Cleanser.
