JLC Miller & Co. Holiday Box

Seems like the holidays aren't over yet! Just before the year ended, I received a surprise gift from JLC Miller & Co. I wasn't expecting anything to arrive that time, so it piqued my curiosity.

I like to call this my JLC Miller Holiday Box!

I feel as if I've received a beauty subscription box because of the stuff inside - full-sized products, sample-sized ones, and little extras. Let's unbox together! :)

Skintel Anti-Age White Beauty Soap

My favorite item from the box has to be this soap. It's something new for me so I'm excited to try it. I have this goal of trying out all the bar soaps in my stash this year - mostly whitening ones, so this is a welcome addition! I'm curious how coffee cherry extract and yam bean extract would work. Is it weird for me to think it sounds delicious for a soap? Haha!

Derm A Retinol White

I've currently had a bout with multiple cystic acne on my chin, which has now flattened but has left ugly dark spots. Maybe this could help! (It totally came at the right time!)

Gluta White & Firm Facial Wash & Facial Cream

I'm currently trying out the body soap and body lotion from the same range. So far so good!

Pregroe 4 in One Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner

I'm currently on my second big bottles of both this shampoo and conditioner. I like the fresh scent of this duo. It gives my hair a good clean without drying it out. Read my full review here.

Alopecia Awareness + FREE Hair Analysis from Minoxidil Regroe

Minoxidil Regroe and Pregroe observes September as the National Alopecia Areata Awareness Month. Alopecia Areata is an acquired skin disease that can affect all hair-bearing skin and is characterized by localized areas of non-scarring hair loss.

In line with the appreciation of Alopecia Month, you can now address your hair needs by using the number one choice for hair growth treatment and hair loss protection – Minoxidil Regroe. Hair loss or baldness, technically known as alopecia, is caused by different factors ranging from hereditary to drug- and stress-related ones.

Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as the male pattern baldness, and characterized by hair thins on the crown/vertex while the hairline recedes in an M-pattern. Alopecia Areata, or excessive hair loss resulting to bald patches on the scalp, involves hair follicles that are on the resting stage which are unable to replace the hair that was lost. Physiologic Alopecia is characterized by hair loss resulting from severe emotional stress, fever, and conditions that alter the normal environment such as pregnancy.

Drug Alopecia, on the other hand, is caused by intake of high dosage of Vitamin A, anti-cancer medications, cytotoxic agents and other drugs. Finally, there is Trichotillomania or the habitual plucking or pulling out of hair, and Telogen Effluvium which involves abnormal increase in falling hair due to tension, adjustment to the environment, and other factors.

With Minoxidil Regroe, you can now address these kinds of hair loss problems and have longer, thicker, stronger hair that you want to achieve.

Being the pioneer in the hair regrowth industry in the Philippines, Regroe is the first one to use Minoxidil in its formulation, which stimulates hair growth and blocks the effects of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair loss. Medically proven to bare results in just three to six months of use, Regroe is a topical treatment that stimulates hair growth from traumatized hair follicles.

Regroe is available in the following variants: 3%, 5%, and 6%, and in all leading drugstores, selected department stores, and supermarkets nationwide. For optimal results, use with Pregroe 4inOne Hair Care System (Shampoo, Conditioner, and Gel).

Pregroe Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner

While some are born with perfect locks, some of us may need a little extra help. I've stopped hair straightening and perming (once!) my hair around 7 years ago and I think it was the best thing I did for my hair. While I still do hair coloring sometimes, I compensate by treating my hair with extra care and using products that would improve its health.

I am used to sulfate-free shampoos that don't lather up much. They're gentle, but when used consecutively may have the tendency to cause product buildup which results to oily hair and scalp. Eww. I switch things up often, so here's my current shampoo and conditioner.

Pregroe Hair Care System

A hair care system that is medically proven to make strands healthier and thicker. It contains organic ingredients such as rosemary extracts, seaweed extracts, chamomile extracts, and aloe vera extracts. Pregroe Hair Care System is complete with shampoo, conditioner and gel.

Pregroe Thickening Shampoo

About the product:

Ingredients:

Swatch:

Pregroe Thickening Shampoo smells floral fresh. It lathers and cleans my hair well without leaving it dry.

Pregroe Thickening Conditioner

About the product:

Ingredients:

Swatch:

Pregroe Thickening Conditioner has a similar scent to the shampoo. It's able to moisturize my hair without leaving it oily.

What I like best about this duo is how it's able to rid my hair and scalp of the excess oil and dirt gently. Whenever I use both the shampoo and conditioner, my hair would already feel soft as I rinse off the product. I also love that my hair is bouncier and more voluminous whenever I use the Pregroe Hair Care System.

I've noticed that whenever a shampoo and conditioner duo is made for "hair regrowth" or "hair thickening" it gives the hair a very thorough cleanse. I think maybe it's because of the next step, which is to treat the hair loss. If you need more help with regards to hair regrowth, then you may like this:

Minoxidil Regroe is a topical re-growth treatment that stimulates hair growth from traumatized hair follicles. It is the first ever painless cure to hair growth problems in the Philippines with Minoxidil as the main ingredient. With 3%, 5% and 6% formulation, Regroe is available in all leading drugstores and supermarket nationwide. Solve your hair loss problem using Regroe, the effective hair grower.

 

Pregroe and Minoxidil Regroe is available at Lazada.

Our hair is our crowning glory, so we must always take care of it! What is your current hair care regimen?

Helen

Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock

I prefer sunny days over rainy days, and I can't wait to go on a nature trip once more. :D

I know, I've professed my love for spray sunblocks before. I still love them a lot for my day trips like hiking and exploring, but when it comes to beach trips - it's another story altogether.

When it comes to swimming, I like to be sure that I have enough SPF that doesn't get wash off easily. This is when I reach for sunblock lotions like Dermplus. 
 

Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock is a UV ray-protective product that has UVA and UVB filters plus titanium dioxide to prevent skin damage and aging. It is ideal for everyday use and suited even for people with sensitive skin. It is also packed with nourishing ingredients such as seaweed extract to heal skin damage and aloe vera extract to soothe and cool the skin. Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock is *PABA Free and most of all, water resistant, so your skin is shielded with utmost protection.

*PABA (Para Amino Benzonic Acid) is a sun protection ingredient that frequently causes allergic reaction.

What I like about Dermplus is that the brand carries different types of sunblock for your every need. There's SPF 80 for kids, for adults, and one even with SPF 130!

It's actually non-sticky when you blend it into the skin. While moisturizing the skin and protecting it from the sun's harmful rays, it also has the ability to make my skin look fairer instantly, because of the ingredient Titanium Dioxide it contains.

Dermplus is available in leading department stores.
