A #BetterMe with SkinWhite

The year 2014 is coming to a close, and a lot of people like making new year resolutions. What I believe is that we don't have to wait for the start of the year, month, or week to be a better version of yourself. Anyone can be a #BetterMe if they have the heart for it.

While what's inside our hearts is a good measure of one's beauty, in the world we live in, our appearance matters all the time. There's no harm in wanting to improve ourselves inside and out. SkinWhite, the leading and pioneer skin whitening brand in the Philippines, is here to help us be our best, most confident self as they launch the #BetterMe Campaign and Captivate Council Batch 2.

The #BetterMe movement was first launched in 2013. This year, it has become even bigger and better! SkinWhite held a casting call to search for the loveliest and most inspiring girls for the second batch of the Captivate Council. Approximately 500 aspiring teens auditioned, but only 25 girls were handpicked based on their accomplishments at school and ability to inspire others with their go-getting, stay confident attitude.

Throughout the four-month campaign, the members of the Captivate Council can look forward to magazine features, multimedia exposure, and lots of fun events like the #BetterMe Ball, outreach activities, and fitness parties - since a holistic approach is needed to become a #BetterMe. This way, the Captivate Council can lead by example, because it’s not just about looking good on the outside, but feeling good and doing good, too. The Captivate Council can pay it forward by sharing what they've learned from the monthly activities to their classmates and friends to spread the #BetterMe image and help more teens become empowered.

For November, Captivate Council celebrate their own unique beauty as they were treated to a fashion and beauty makeover. Here, they were taught how to enhance their own individual assets and body type. To look even more gorgeous during their makeover shoot, the girls prepped their skin with SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening Face Cream Powder (to score a powdery fresh, white glow on their complexion) and SkinWhite Advanced Power Whitening Lotion (for instantly whiter, brighter skin upon application).

I'll share with you 4 ways to a #BetterMe with these SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening products!

SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening Facial Cleanser

You know, when I was younger I've always thought that facial cleansers in bottles like this are a new kind of facial wash where you can just cotton off the dirt and all. Wrong! Haha. This one is actually a toner, something you use after cleansing your face with a facial wash. Toners remove deep-seated dirt, leftover cleanser, and hard to remove makeup to keep your skin clear.

SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening Face Cream Powder

(P19.00 for 7g, P69.00 for 20g)

After cleansing and toning, prep your skin with this all-in-one makeup in a tube! This one works similarly to your favorite tinted moisturizer or BB cream, but what's unique about it is its moisturizing cream to matte powder formula.

Swatches:

This lotion makes my skin look radiant instantly! And I like how it's not the fake and chalky kind of white, but more of the "lit from within" kind of white. Among the 4 products from the PowerWhitening range, this one's my favorite. Try it! :D

SkinWhite helps me to be confident in my skin!
