The Healing Power of Vaseline

After giving birth the second time, I developed eczema. I didn't know what it was but I had red itchy patches on arms and legs. I can't help but scratch until it bled. I had lots of scars on my legs and arms and I couldn't wear dresses, skirts or shorts and I wore long sleeves the whole! It was that bad until I consulted a dermatologist and she said it was indeed eczema! She told me to always keep my skin moisturize! I have found products that worked well but I am always on the look out for more brands and products to add to my eczema arsenal. I never knew Vaseline Petroleum Jelly can be a big help for eczema flares so now I'm happy to say that Vaseline is now a part of my arsenal!

If you have eczema, you would know that summer is not our friend. Sweat aggrevates eczema that's why my kids and I take a bath twice a day because we get so sticky! But that can also lead to dry skin so I always have to put lotion too. The hot and humid climate can also turn our skin dry plus we are exposed to different factors like hot showers, pollution, air-conditioned rooms, the natural hydration and moisture is removed from our skin. The new Vaseline Lotion is now infused with the wonder ingredient that is Vaseline Jelly, replenishing the skin's moisture faster.

To showcase and prove the healing power of Vaseline, a live billboard was mounted along C5 last April 8-10 where real leaves were used! Half were covered with Vaseline Petroleum Jelly while the other half had none. After three days, the difference was visible! Check out the live billboard here: bit.ly/vaselineleafbillboard

Vaseline also sent a kit with the leaves so we can actually see and feel the difference. The leaves without Vaseline looks dry and about to wilt while the one with Vaseline is lustrous and moisturized! If Vaseline can keep a leaf shiny and moisturized, imagine what it could do to dry skin!

The leaves were enclosed in a box, that's why they appeared darker but when I touched them. It's really moisturized!

I'm excited to road test my new Vaseline army! If you want to know the condition of your skin, you can take the Dry Skin Test on http://www.vaseline.ph/skin-index-test!

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is a one-pot wonder that can heal burns, rashes, cuts, bruises, chapped skin and more! I remember using this when I ran out diaper cream when Y was still a baby! It has really become a staple in every Filipino household.

I'm excited try this Vaseline Intensive Care Deep Restore which has micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly that moisturizes deeply. It smells good, absorbs fast and I like that it's non greasy!

For a fairer skin, Vaseline's Healthy White Instant Fair lotion now also with micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly, helps speed up the whitening process with its Optics System and Skin Illuminating Microreflectors.

There's no reason for not having a moisturized skin all year round! Grab a Vaseline at your nearest grocery and for your information, here's the SRP of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Lotion:

100ml - Php69.30

A&D Loves: Nestea Thai Iced Tea

I love milk tea! I wrote about it here. Sometimes I want to quit drinking those bubble teas because I want to diet na! But I don't think I can just yet. Heehee... I love milk tea!

I discovered Thai Iced Tea or cha-yen (as what they call it in Thailand) from my trip to Bangkok many years ago. From the minute I took a sip, I loved it! I was so happy when I saw Nestea produces powdered Thai Iced Tea at their grocery so I made pakyaw!

In Manila, you can drink Thai Iced Tea only when you dine in Thai restos. There's no powdered variant available in the market so when my achi asked what I wanted as pasalubong from Bangkok, I said Thai Milk Tea!!!

It comes in sticks likes this!

So last weekend, I got to taste it once again and shared the experience with the BOS! I cooked something Asian to pair with the drink. (Parang wine lang ang peg!)

Kung Pao!

I took out my brand new mason glass jars to use for this special drink haha!

If you have friends, relatives, officemates, or sino man yan who's going to Thailand, ask for this as pasalubong! Promise if you like milk teas and bubble teas, you'll definitely like this too! Pahinge ng pasalubong mo ha? :) Hehe...
