Human Heart Nature SafeProtect for Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF15

The sun is deadly to our skin as we speak. Sun protection is important every day no matter where we are or what the weather is -- sunny, cloudy, rainy or snowy! UVA and UVB rays are harmful to our skin which could cause premature aging and brown spots if we do not do anything to protect ourselves as early as now. If you still do not have the habit of wearing sunblock, please do so. This isn't just about beauty, but also for our health and safety when we are out in the sun.

I am happy they finally released a sunscreen 100% natural, Paraben-free and reef-friendly. I had to purchase the biggest size to suit my sun protection need.

SafeProtect for Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF15 200g | Php399.75

Let your kids create memories that last while caring for them in the long run with SafeProtect, your ally in year-round sun protection.

Armors: SafeProtect's PA+++ rating provides high protection against skin-aging UVA rays.

Blocks: Don't see double - SafeProtect's SPF 15 blocks 93% of skin-burning UVB rays! SPF 30 actually blocks only 4% more.

Cares: With a reef-friendly formulation, SafeProtect is free from harmful chemicals present in commercial sunscreens that cause the bleaching of corals when washed off.

Did You Know? That thin white film on your kids’ skin means SafeProtect is actively shielding them from harmful UV rays AND saving the reefs. Tell ‘em to rock that white, eco-warrior!

Lucky for me this sunblock was on SALE! Why was that? According to the saleslady I talked to a month ago, she said this sunblock will soon be discontinued and the company will create a sunscreen for kids with an SPF30. They had to bring down the price because... they had to! From Php600, it was marked down to Php399.75.

You might also be wondering why I am using a sunscreen for KIDS. It's simply for me; I like to use it that's all.

Even as for an adult myself, this sunscreen is good and it protected me while I was out in the sun. I always give it a good shake and apply sunscreen on to my clean skin. It smells like KAOLIN CLAY and I do not like the smell of it. But I had to forget the smell and remind myself I am doing it for my skin. The sunscreen feels sticky and will leave a white film on to the skin -- which is not surprising at all because it supposed to happen. I always make sure to give myself an extra 15-20minutes before leaving the house just to be sure it has settled on my me and sealed my skin from the sun! I pay extra attention to my face, neck, decolletage, the back of my hands and other areas exposed to the sun. I did not experience any irritation or breakouts when I used this product. If the white film is worrying you, it will leave no trace of it after you give it a few minutes and you're good to go. Unless it's your first time using sunscreen, it will take time to add a few adjustments but it is a good investment that will protect your skin for years!

I know I should've used sunscreen with SPF30, but I surely will buy one once I ran out of this. If I feel I need to reapply during the day, even for an oily skin myself, it does feel uncomfortable. I use a blotting paper to soak excess oil, then apply sunscreen. I try not to think about the sticky feeling that much but once I am done, it feels good to be protected from the UV rays. The white film is very evident which makes me look like a zombie in public, but it will settle in a few minutes. Give it time. I travel anywhere with this sunscreen on hand, I am careful not to squeeze the tube by accident and prevent it from spilling all over my bag.

Human Heart Nature's SafeProtect Sunscreen is Reef-friendly which means the corals in the sea are unharmed from being bleached from commercial sunscreen's chemicals when washed off. Not only you're giving yourself a 100% Natural and Paraben-free for you but also for our aquatic friends! Remember to give this sunscreen a shake before use to prevent the oils and the cream from separating.

Protecting ourselves from the sun is serious. Do not stay under the sun for too long even while using sunscreen. Don't squint when out in the sun! Wear sunglasses, wide brim hat and use umbrellas to shield yourself from the sun. Eat healthy food as such tomato, green tea, oranges, spinach etc. Hydrate yourself everyday!

This product is good for both adult and kids.

Philcillin Crocodile Oil Soap

Crocodile Oil? I get goosebumps when I hear this. Is this a new thing I never heard of? I love skin care but this oil makes me uncomfortable.

On my recent trip we had in Davao to visit my relatives, I had these red spots on my calves (front)! It wasn't itchy nor irritated, but they're just there. I had no idea if I was bitten by mosquitoes or if I had allergies of some sort. I had no clue nor could I recall anything that could make this happen. I was worried what these were.

Just hours before our flight back to Manila, we had a quick stop at CROCODILE PARK. I lost count how many times I've been there. You could see crocodiles plus other animals and get to take pictures together with a python (harmless... I think!), baby orangutan, baby crocodile and a Cockatoo(?). (Was it a Cockatoo?) But one thing that intrigued me besides their Ostrich Ice Cream and Crocodile Ice Cream in different flavors, was their CROCODILE OIL. I've never heard of such a thing. I went inside their souvenir shop and head straight to the skin care products made out of crocodile oil.

At first I was a little skeptical. I do not know anyone who uses crocodile oil in their beauty regimen. They are c-r-o-c-o-d-i-l-e-s! I get scared! I read a pamphlet they handed out and it has lots of benefits for our skin. I instantly thought about these red spots on my calves, thinking this could help me get rid of it.

Besides their best selling crocodile oil, they also sell soaps and lotions made out of this oil as well. I wanted to try it out first if crocodile oil are suited for me. I was a bit hesitant, but wishing it could help me with my skin problem, I decided to buy their small crocodile oil soap (chocolate).

Philcillin Crocodile Oil Soap (Chocolate) 50g | Php190

After crocodile oil penetrates the skin, it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, activate cell regeneration, speed up the metabolism, accelerate the replacement of old skin cells. 

I picked the chocolate variant because I love chocolate! It's a 50g crocodile oil soap loaded with benefits of a crocodile's oil and the benefits of chocolate. Before I used it on my calves, I tested it first just to see if I was allergic to it. Thank goodness, I wasn't.

I use this soap everyday for a month to wash my legs (Why not the whole leg reap the soap's benefits and not just the calves?) with this soap. Though the product says it is in chocolate, it rather smells like a peppermint. I find the smell of it unexpected. When the last bit of soap I had was gone, I checked my calves and the red spots finally dried up. I did not experience any redness on my legs when I used this soap. All I got to do now is wait for my skin to fully heal and hopefully these dried brownish spots lighten.

Even with the positive results I had, there is still a part of me that is a little hesitant. I am really not sure if 'd purchase these again on my next visit. Or maybe I just couldn't get my mind off how scary crocodiles are? I had the feeling I still need a little bit more of convincing or time. I would love to read other reviews about the product. There were a lot of people say it was a great find,... but I'm the kind of person who likes to read details on how it worked (or not) on them.

Have you tried crocodile oil as well?
