My skin got clearer in just weeks, it lightened my pimple scars, my face feels smoother and softer and cheesy as it sounds, I feel more confident about myself. I highly recommend it!

How to Dye your Hair Gray? How to Maintain it?

Before the year ends, I told myself it's time to change things up for 2016. I made a big change with my hair color and I have no regrets. I feel more confident about my hair and my style. It really changes the way I see things. I am loving fashion more and more and my weirdness. I don't want to go with the waves, I want to go against it.  Especially in the Philippines because some people can really judge you with the way you look, the way you dress up and etc so some people are afraid to take the risk of showing who they really are. What I realized when I changed my hair is how I love fashion and how other people do not appreciate it.

So, if you are like me go for a change! #BeYouBeDifferent

For sure you can still see my yellow tones because those are my past hair colors and I've been really struggling bleaching them off but I learned you can correct these yellow tones by using Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo. You can order from DIY BEAUTY SHOP. This protein-enriched conditioning formula tone down brassiness on blonde and silver hair. It shampoos away yellow, and refreshes faded highlights.

Before you settle on your gray hair, you have to be mentally prepared that you are willing to put your hair through the potential damage from bleach and dye. Second, you have to know how to take care of your hair after.

Once you have fully decided, I'll guide you through the process.

1.) Bleach your hair

Warning. This will take awhile. Mine took 5 hours to make my black asian hair this bright. Gray dye on top of light blonde hair results in the gray hair color. It took me three processes because I dyed my hair brown black before. If you are planning to bleach your hair, do not dye your hair black, brown and red. These are the colors that you should stay away from if you're planning to achieve this look. Yes, it will look crispy and dry but I'll share to you later the home treatment that you can use so it won't cost you a lot for salon hair treatments. 

2.)  Apply Gray Dye

Separate your hair into 4-6 sections depending on how thick or long your hair is. This will make it easier for you to apply the gray dye.

Apply Vaseline or lotion around your entire hairline from forehead to the nape of your neck so the hair dye won't stick to your skin.

Then start applying the grey hair dye evenly through each section of hair until hair is all covered up. Make sure to start from the roots. Leave the dye on your hair for approximately 30-45 minutes.

3.) Wash your hair

After 30-45 minutes, rinse the dye out of your hair. Make sure to use a color-safe shampoo to wash your hair followed by color-safe conditioner. Blow dry to see results and style it whatever you want. I personally use Morocco Argan oil to make it shinier and softer that I got from CYNOS INSIDE HAIRCARE. 

How to Make Hair Color Last?

1.) Use Sulfate-free Shampoo

When shopping for shampoo, always look for "Sulfate-free" or "Non-sulfate" Shampoo and Conditioner for your hair. I had one question: What are sulfate, anyway? Sulfates, essentially, are what make shampoos turn into a thick lather in the shower. This ingredient, which is standard for most shampoo products has additionally come under attack for causing frizziness and damaging colored hair. Even after getting Keratin or Brazilian Blowout, hair stylists will recommend sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain the style. I personally use Matrix Biolage. Whenever I don't use these two, my hair is all over the place.

2.) Get a Hair Treatment

You don't have to go to the salon to get your hair treated. You can use Skala Argan Marroquino Hair Treatment Conditioning Cream. It deeply restored, nourished and revitalized hair. Your hair will have its natural shine and silkiness. Bye bye dry and dull hair! I got this from DIY BEAUTY SHOP.

What products did I use?

Wella 050 (Cooling Violet - Silver) Hair Dye, Skala Hair Treatment from DIY BEAUTY SHOP

Matrix Biolage Shampoo & Conditioner from MATRIX PHILIPPINES

I love my new hair. I think it's really fun to experiment and try different colors, so I'm probably going to dye it blue or something else. Because why not? #BeYouBeDifferent

A Fast Way To Get Rid of Dead Skin Cells Off Your Body by Skin Philosophie

I am so happy that I was able to visit my derma, Skin Philosophie. I've been really busy with my Volleyball season and finally I have time to have some pampering. As a volleyball player, it's normal for us to have scars. These scars are very difficult to remove completely so Dr. Kyla Talens advised me to try Full Body Microdermabrasion.

How does it work? Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective and non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that deeply polished and stimulates the skin using densely packed genuine laser-cut diamond tops (See photo below) to remove dead skin cells. Removing dead skin cells promote the growth of healthy new cells for a smoother and flawless complexion. This is absolutely perfect for my case.  I have a lot of scars. You just can't imagine my dilemma.

The Microdermabrasion system works based on 2 function: exfoliation and vacuum. It comes with a tipped wand of varied size and coarseness for different types and depths of resurfacing. The wand tip is made of natural diamond chips which polishes the skin and removes dead cells, which are then vacuumed back into a waste filter.  Look at those dead cells. Bye bye dead cells!

Many people ask this question, "Does it hurt?" Definitely NO, you may feel a slight abrasion and suction but there's no pain at all.

And, "How long is the Procedure?" The treatment time depends on your face and/or body areas and skin condition. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Rough skin zones and larger body areas may last longer.

For those who are really interested, this is perfect to treat acne scars, chicken pox scars, body scars and other discoloration. When used in the underarms, it can help with ingrown hairs and discoloration. This is a lot safer than chemical peel.

Lastly, I'm really excited to share the result. My skin feels smoother and it looks lighter. Right hand undergone Microdermabrasion. As you can see, I even have battle scars on my hands from volleyball. Perks of being an athlete.

Everybody wants fast results so I highly recommend this treatment from Skin Philosophie.

Results can be seen and felt right after the first treatment with an improvement in skin texture and appearance.  Remember, you can do this every 2 weeks and avoid sun exposure. Make sure to apply sunblock.

Pamper Yourself After a Busy Week

Finally, I had a chance to have a day to pamper myself after a long busy week. Like you know those days when you have a bad day and you just want to get some fresh air, get your nails done, get our hair fixed or go to the derma. But for today, I decided to drop by SKIN PHILOSOPHIE.

One thing I really love about the place is all of Dr. Kyla Talen's staff are so accommodating. If ever you'll go there, don't forget to try their tea. I totally feel at home whenever I go there.

I had my 3rd session  of Therma-Conductive Body Sculpting. For those who haven't heard about it yet, it's a body sculpting treatment that uses Radiofrequency (RF) energy to increase the metabolism of fat cells and releases fatty acids or liquid fat which will lead to the reduction in circumference of the treated area like lower abdomen, love handles & inner thighs. 

This is perfect for my case because I've been doing exercise and diet for ages but still it's not enough to trim those stubborn fats on my lower abdomen and inner thighs. Plus, whenever I lose weight cellulites come out and my skin looks like a dimpled cottage cheese. The RF tightens the skin through the stimulation of natural collagen production. As you slim down, you don't have to worry with sagging skin. ;-)

Note that you also need to go on a healthy diet and consistent exercise to keep the fat off.

Botox in a Roller: Jade Roller

If you haven't heard about Jade Roller yet, it is a face roller made our of jade which Chinese women consider as a magical tool that is anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, reduces pores and eyebags. For short, it's like a botox in a roller.

Just a short history, the facial jade roller has been used for centuries by Chinese emperors and empresses because they believe it can give them smoother, unlined and younger faces. And today, this magical tool is rediscovered. 

There are a lot of anti-aging products in the market and many experts claim that they are not harmful and they only exist in such small doses that it's not enough to cause enough problem. However, some of us use more than one product a day without knowing chemicals stay in our body and get stored in our cells which over time can cause health problems. So like my mom always say, "Prevention is better than cure" or you can switch to using "natural/organic" products.

Here are steps on how to use a Jade Roller:

Step #1: Cleanse

Wash your face using a deep-pore cleansing product. Get a towel and pat your skin dry. 

In the video, I used THE HAPPY ORGANICS double detox bar with activated charcoal and kaolin clay.

Step #2: Apply

Apply moisturizer creams or oils on the face and the neck. Usually after a long day, I use THE SKIN NATURAL tea tree oil or EDENS PARADISE tomato serum with Vitamin B and collagen.

Step #3 Roll it on the skin

Get the face jade roller and start rolling it on your skin with an upward motion. Usually, if you want to have a refreshing feeling, put the Jade roller in the freezer and let it cool first before you roll it around your face. If you have a puffy eyes problem, use the smaller jade roller and concentrate under your eyes.

Please click the link to watch the instructional video via youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlNd7zLbTMY

You can use the Jade roller at least 3 times a week to reduce wrinkles and lines. You can also use it before you apply make up and after a long day work.
