Mustela: Nurturing Skin Care for Moms and Babies

Mustela is one brand I am most loyal to and I know that a lot of moms are fans of the brand too. One of the reasons why I love Mustela is they constantly innovates and integrates the latest scientific breakthroughs to best meet the needs of us, parents. We've been using Mustela for almost three years now and I have my favorites, do you have a favorite Mustela product?

My favorites!

Last week, I attended the press launch of Mustela at La Creperie in Makati. With the latest scientific breakthroughs, Mustela introduced six products with new formula and new textures! 

Lexi Schulze, our host for that afternoon.

Watch this video and know what Shen, Tin and Nicole's favorite Mustela product and why they trust Mustela!

Just like the chic and beautiful mommies above, another favorite Mustela product of mine is the Vitamin Barrier Cream. It's the best smelling diaper cream ever! It's very effective and even with just a little amount of it, it really covers a lot of skin! It's ideal for soothing and preventing diaper rash as its barrier effect protects and insulates the fragile skin of infants. It provides relief, reduce development of bacteria that babies often get from their weewee and poopoo.

While my family doesn't go to the beach that much, my kids love playing outdoors! Sun protection is a must and Mustela has crafted the Sun Protection Line specifically formulated to provide extreme care and protection for our wee ones against the harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Mustela's Sun Protection Line are also highly resistant to water, sweat, and rubbing from towels and clothing. I sometimes use it too when I "jog" while I wait for my daughter in school.

Mustela not only cares for babies but also cares for mommies! They've formulated the Stretch Mark Oil, which increases the elasticity and softness of us, mommas! You know when you're pregnant and our skin gets stretched as our belly grows bigger, we want to maintain our flawless skin!

Specially formulated with lupeol, a natural, patented active ingredient that produces fibers that strengthen the skin to help it cope better when stretching.

Mustela now has four product lines -- Mustela 9 Months for pregnant and breastfeeding moms, Mustela Bebe for daily baby care of babies and children with normal skin, Mustela Dermo-Pediatrics for babies and children (and even adults!) with problem skin, and Mustela Sun Care for safe and effective UV rays protection.

Mustela makes the perfect gift for pregnant and new mommas! I love receiving Mustela as presents! Mustela sells gift packs that are perfect for gift-giving! Visit the nearest Mustela kiosk and get the latest products from Mustela!

Congrats Sharleem and Tammy with fab mommas Tin, Shen and Nicole!

That's Didi, Me, Jackie and Shen!

Cheska and Gavin Kramer for Cycles Sensitive And a Giveaway!

Who here is a fan of Team Kramer? ME me me! I follow their Facebook and Instagram accounts. I forgot who introduced me to their fan page but I'm glad she did. Team Kramer follows the everyday lives of Cheska Garcia Kramer, her husband Doug Kramer, and their three adorable children.

Over a few weeks ago, I attended the media launch of the new Cycles Sensitive line and its brand endorsers, the super chica Cheska Kramer and her super adorable son, Gavin Kramer.

Cheska says, “All three kids of mine have sensitive skin. That is why I am always in search of the best skin care products for them" And since Cheska's a very hands-on mom, it is she who must shop for every little thing that her children need. And I understand what she is saying! I also buy everything my kids need. I am very meticulous like that and so is Cheska.

Then she came across Cycles Sensitive, she was intrigued and tried it on her son, and she was pleased to see that her son’s skin became smoother and softer.

All Cycles Sensitive products are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free and dermatologist tested. More importantly, its product range addresses the needs of baby’s everyday activities

Here's Cycles Sensitive full product line

Here's what Cheska had to say about Cycles Sensitive and I agree with everything as I've tried Cycles Sensitive with my kids and loved it! “Most pediatricians don’t recommend bath wash and lotions with fragrance because babies can be sensitive with that, and it can be pretty hard to find a product that’s fragrance-free and at the same time does the job. Cycles Sensitive is specially formulated to suit our babies’ sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and dermatologist tested. The great thing about it, as well, is that it is reasonably priced, especially compared to those similar products in the market. For us mommies, Cycles Sensitive is a practical alternative without compromising the utmost safety and comfort of our little ones. Because when it comes to our babies, there should be no compromise.”

After the introduction and testimonial from Cheska, Dr. Donna Marie Sarrosa, a Pediatric Dermatologist., gave a talk about Caring for Infant Skin. Here's some slides from the talk that I want to share with you.

 And because I'm praning with dengue every time my kids have fever, I always remind my yaya to put insect repellant on the kids before going out.

Cycles Sensitive offers the Natural Insect Repellent, which is formulated with mild natural Citronella and Eucalyptus extracts, to protect babies against insect bites. Another option is the Non-DEET Insect Repellent, which contains Picaridin, an effective alternative to DEET. It has been tested safe for babies and offers up to eight hours of protection.  Cycles Sensitive also offers the Anti-Mosquito Citronella Patches, which is 100 percent natural. The patches come in different delightful designs and have been verified as non-toxic and DEET-free. 

Thank you so much Cycles Sensitive! I've learned so much from that lunch. And thank you for the products you've given for us moms to try!

And here's the most exciting part! I'm giving away 3 Gift Packs of with all the Cycle Sensitive products seen above! Wuhoooo! Just use the Rafflecopter below to join!

A&D Reviews: Mustela Stelactiv Diaper Rash Cream

R has a very stubborn diaper rash. It comes, we treat, it goes but it was never fully healed. We change his nappies (both cloth and disposables) frequently but it still won't go away. It doesn't help that R likes to sleep on his tummy, his pee stays on his skin more and his rashes became so red, nakakaawa na. :(

So last Saturday after having lunch at Toast Box in Robinson's Place Manila, we stopped by the Mustela booth. I originally was going to buy the barrier cream but the Mustela lady (who was very nice and helpful) told me if the diaper rash is as grabe as ours, we should buy the Mustela Stelactiv instead then use the Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream when his rash is fully healed.

From Mustela Philippines website:
Mustela Stelactiv is specially developed for moderate to severe diaper rash.

• Creates a protective barrier on the skin
• Neutralizes the irritant enzymes responsible for diaper rash due to the exclusive combination of 3 anti-enzymes
• Purifies your baby's skin to limit bacteria proliferation
• Rapidly and lastingly soothes the skin
• High tolerance and hypoallergenic
• Fragance-free formula that is free from artificial colorings and parebens

We are on our third day using it and it works like magic! As in! The redness faded after two applications. Hoping the rash would be fully healed this week! There's nothing like a smooth baby bum! Hehe!

They use brown paper bags, very eco-friendly!

What I liked about the Mustela lady was she knows her products well. Now, that's great customer service! She was also nice enough to give me some freebies to try like the barrier cream. Yay! And they're on sale til the 25th!

Mustela lady, didn't get her name :(

Here's what I saw on their FB Page:
1. Choose among our Gift Baskets and 5 new Christmas packages, with discount as much as 45% off!
2. Enjoy 10% off on individual products for cash purchases; 5% for card purchases.
3. Free Agua de Colognia 200ml cologne worth 750 pesos for every net purchases of 5,000 pesos.
Will go back this week to get that barrier cream!

I'm now a Mustela convert!
