We know daily exfoliation is an important part of a healthy skin regimen, but what about exfoliating in the summer time when it’s hot and humid? There are several different types of exfoliants that can be used on the face, including microdermabrasion, abrasive exfoliating washes, chemical peel exfoliation, laser exfoliation, and topical cream exfoliation.

Which one works best during the sunny days of summer?

Dermatologists and skin specialists generally advise against any deep skin treatments if there is a risk of excessive sun exposure.  You really have to be aware of both direct and indirect sunlight and always wear an appropriate level of sun protection and sunscreen. Although widely available in beauty shops, abrasive exfoliating washes and high concentration cream exfoliants often dry-out the skin and lead to more skin irritation and sensitivity.

The best option for daily exfoliation is a light at-home chemical peel that can whisk away skin impurities, open up clogged pores, and improve skin complexion.

If your skin is acne prone, Melapads DailyExfoliating Pads are an excellent option for at-home daily exfoliation, even in the summer months. Melapads contain both alpha and beta hydroxy acids and Kojic acid to help lightly exfoliate skin and lighten dark discoloration. Combined with an appropriate sunscreen, Melapads can be used to improve skin quality and brighten skin.

There are sixty pre-soaked pads in each jar of Melapads, enough for twice daily application for one month. The results of treatment with Melapads is quite spectacular, with improvements in skin quality, sebum content, and acne breakouts. As a multi-purpose beauty product, Melapads can help reduce sunspots during the summer, while helping you unclog pores that can cause acne in the future.  

 


Verdict: A well thought-out multi-purpose beauty product that can help exfoliate the skin using a powerful combination of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and kojic acid. Strong enough to improve acne prone skin but gentle enough for daily use.

Most of the times typhoons are a bad idea but I cannot deny the fact that for us, students, typhoon (which causes class suspension) is a blessing already to study and do some requirements for a longer time. Last week we experienced class suspensions and I'm thankful to have that 4 days vacation to prep up for a week of stress and exams coming (although i know it isn't enough). Aside from that I was able to do some productive things like update my blog, watch the past episodes of my favorite series, go to the mall, pull off some items and take these outfit shots. I chose to wear my new top from Dresslink which was sent to me a few weeks ago. I love the fabric used because it's soft and loose plus the back & side lace is a statement detail! I felt comfortable moving around and at the same time stylish the whole day. Yes, i know, nothing can't stop me from going out and enjoy the chill and bipolar weather that we had. Thanks to a week of class suspension. I've been somehow productive and satisfied. :)

Thank God the clothes that I've been waiting from international online shops finally arrived. While trying out all the clothes and combining everything from head to toe I realized that I made up a Blair Waldorf look. Haha! It's funny how I just posted a Serena van der Woodsen look during my previous outfit post and now I'm mimicking the other Gossip Girl It girl. Here's my take on the Blair Waldorf look. 


Outfit details:

TopDresslink.  I got this top for only $6.99. Can you believe that??? When it came on hand I was surprised wth the great quality. I'm so happy to score this classy top! Thank you Dresslink for sending me over this top. :) I'll be blogging another top from Dresslink soon!

SkirtSumissura. I had a great experience with the store. Sumissura is a great online shop where you can design and customize your wardrobe just the way you want it to be. I chose to design a skirt. I had it flared, medium in length, zippered on the side, without a pocket, in color Bend and the fabric used was wool. They have a virtual model where you'll put your height and weight and the the list goes on. They were able to calculate the size of my hips, waist, ideal length of the skirt and all! I was so excited that when I received it after a few days of having it tailored I just have to use and blog it right after :) Thank you Sumissura for sending me over this skirt. It's a new favorite! :)

Bag: EchoPaul. This bag is honestly the cutest of all the bags I  have right now. When I first saw it in EchoPaul's site I told myself that I just have to have it. It was small but can fit the essentials like my phone and wallet.  Thank you EchoPaul for sending me over this bag. Expect to see this in my next posts. Haha :)
