In the Philippines, the business of whitening soaps is a highly profitable industry. Most people, especially women would scour through a pile of whitening soaps at the store simply because beauty is most often associated with having fairer skin. However, whitening soaps usually only address one thing, that’s to brighten the skin. Unfortunately, we all have a lot more skin issues other than having less fairer skin that also need a specific soap.
As much as possible, go for BOTANICALS.
It’s not secret that using plant-based products can do wonders for the skin but let’s dig a little deeper why we should really go for nature’s bounty and how it can actually help us address each skin concern.
Botanical products naturally fight pre-mature aging. Plants are rich in anti-oxidants that fight free radicals causing aging. Plants prevent inflammation, promote collagen synthesis and boost skin hydration among others. Above all, using plant-based products are almost always way safer and has little to no side effects on skin.
So lets go on some of the most usual skin concern and let me introduce you to a wonderful all-botanical soap line that answered each need for me. Whitening
Whitening
Almost all of us aim to have the perfect radiant white skin. More often than not, we seek solutions from whitening soaps sold over-the-counter. Usually, their formula would base with glutathione, citrus fruits and many others. But surely, the most famous whitening base would be that of Kojic acid or what is more commonly known as Kojic soap.
There is definitely a reason why people are crazy over Kojic soaps. Kojic acid has the proven capacity to limit overproduction of melanin, deeply exfoliates skin, eliminates blackheads, white heads and other discolorations on face and body. It aslo lightens dark areas such as underarms, knees, elbows thighs and butt, fights skin aging and reduces the frequency of breakouts.
My Kojic pick:
NLighten Kojic Soap
SRP: P220.00
This amazing bar is delicately formulated with the triple whitening action power of Kojic acid, Papaya extract and glutathione. It effectively whitens skin and regulates oil secretions. It is great for all skin types although because of its oil-regulating properties it is best used by oily skinned people to help combat their oil problems.
I have beyond normal dry skin and yet the NLighten Kojic Soap has done wonders for my skin. I dramatically lightened up my skin has definitely improved.
Try it out and see why it has created such a loud noise online.
*Please note that use of any Kojic bar or any whitening product increases photo sensitivity. Please refrain from exposing skin under the sun and use sunscreen everyday.
Another very effective whitening soap formulation is that of a very popular ingredient from Japan, Sakura. Sakura, also known as the cherry blossom is one of Japan’s two national flowers. It’s one of Japan’s best-kept secrets and is used extensively on beauty, cosmetics and even perfume. That’s why this is among the most effective and most natural ways to whiten skin. Sakura cleans, whitens skin and fights off signs of aging. It also has the power to inhibit melanin production and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and heal irritated skin. There are so many other soap brands over-the-counter that claim to base their formulation on Sakura extracts but not everyone is 100% chemical free.
My Sakura soap pick:
New Sakura and Bearberry soap with Glutathione
SRP: P220.00
This soap is heaven sent. It deeply cleanses skin for a more radiant and glowing finish. The best part is that on the first use of this soap, you would already see a difference. Yes! It can give an instant brightening effect even on first wash. Effect may vary from skin to skin but generally, it can deliver fast and healthy-looking skin brightening. I’ve been using this for a few months now and I’m simply loving the results.
Moisturizing
The problem with whitening soaps is that they tend to dry out skin. More than whitening the skin needs intense moisturizing. Moisture not only keeps skin from drying but it also firms up skin and delays it from aging. It also makes skin smooth to the touch while leaving it with a healthy, radiant glass finish glow. Basically, moisturizing is the ultimate care our skin needs if we want to preserve our youth longer.
My requirement: For me, a good moisturizing soap is one that could provide long lasting moisture even without the aid of a moisturizing lotion – that’s what I call effective.
My Moisturizer pick:
NLighten Premium Soap
SRP: P220.00
This has got to be heaven sent. This transparent collagen bar is exceptionally formulated with the finest moisturizers from nature such as Aloe Vera and Argan oil. It’s moisturizing powers is just incomparable.
Trick: Lather this on face and body for over 15 seconds or more and see how stretched out your skin would look after.
Cleansing / Purifying
SRP: 220.00
Most people worry that use of beauty bars compromise cleansing. To some extent it’s true. Some soaps really do more beautification than cleansing even when they promise to do both. It’s not enough that we only look good, it’s also important that our skin is deeply cleansed, odor-free and cleared off impurities such as pimple marks and skin discolorations.
My purifying pick:
New Purifying soap
This soap is mind-blowing! This soap deeply cleanses blemished skin as well as helps smoothen and brighten skin. With its potent Tea tree and Camu-Camu extract combination, it helps improve if not totally heal oily skin, acne, blemishes, eczema, pigmentation/hyper pigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines, even smelly foot and smelly vagina. Yes, it is your ultimate natural solution to body odor.
